Check the transcripts from the Nuremburg trials of Nazis convicted of atrocities in concentration camps, SS officers, and other guards often taunted their victims with quotations from the New Testament, and asked victims "What is your Christian name?
Some believe that Hitler’s cult had strong ties to Christian beliefs. It is a well documented that Hitler had agents searching for religious artifacts including the Arc of the Covenant, The Holy Grail and The Spear of Longinus. These items were believed to make an army invincible. This is not just an Indiana Jones story.
At one time I lived in the southern United States, and I have heard first hand bigots state that black people are god's unwanted. So I wouldn’t be surprised if research pointed to a coloration between actions of the KKK and religious bigotry.

Can you prove that these cowards hiding behind white sheets and carrying Bibles are truly Believers and Followers of Jesus Christ, the risen Son of God? Or, are they merely men that attend an organized social gathering referred to as a "church"?
You must first determine the true meaning of Christianity before you put everyone into the same box. I am sure that the ACLU would agree if the issue was race related.

Being a Christian is not a matter of belief. It's a matter of being baptized with water in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. No matter what acts you do, if you are baptized then there's a reserved seat waiting for you in Heaven. And at your pew you will find a copy of the Book of Common Prayer, and a Bible, the King James of course. No fundie stuff in Heaven.

Either of two racist terrorist organizations in the U.S. The first was organized by veterans of the Confederate army, first as a social club and then as a secret means of resisting Reconstruction and restoring white domination over newly enfranchised blacks. Dressed in white robes and sheets, Klansmen whipped and killed freedmen and their white supporters in nighttime raids. It had largely accomplished its goals by the 1870s before gradually fading away. The second KKK arose in 1915, partly out of nostalgia for the Old South and partly out of fear of the rise of communism in Russia and the changing ethnic character of U.S. society. It counted Catholics, Jews, foreigners, and labour unions among its enemies. Its membership peaked in the 1920s at more than four million, but during the Great Depression the organization gradually declined.
DOESN'T SOUND CHRISTIAN TO ME!

It is a fact that many so-called representatives of Christ have propagated societies based on prejudice and the hatred of others unlike themselves in some way shape or form. It is also a fact that there is no biblical reference to be found in which Jesus preached in favor of such prejudice and hatred--in fact his command to all of mankind was to love God with all our souls and all our hearts, and to love ourselves and others as we love God. So anyone can claim to be a christian, but not everyone claiming to be a christian lives according to Christ's commands.

The KKK are defiantly not Christians.
They may profess to be, but they are not.
They are simply scared bullies who cant fight properly. Christ's teaching were based on love, not hate.
I mean look at them, they are too sick to show who they are, walking around in shrouds. Just think how much they miss out on by all that negativity.
Aften all, Jesus was olive skinned.
