Why isn't the Ku Klux Klan considered a terrorist group?

Because they are protected by the ACLU.  Those dems sure love racists and pedophiles that they protect.

They are clearly a terrorist group and should be considered an enemy.

Not all muslims are terrorists but almost all terrorists are muslims.  There are about 140 armed conflicts going on in the world today and muslims are involved in every one of them.  Definitely not a peaceful religion.

Because radical islam (keep in mind I said radical, and not all of islam) are insane.  I don't want to hear that their culture is different yadda yadda yadda.  No their is no culture that would be sane if it promoted sawing off peoples heads.  They hate.  They arte no different than the nazi.

First of all, the Black Panthers was not a racist group; they were a group of Black people who came together to oppose the continuous oppression that was (and still) going on. The organization opposed drugs and denounced unnecessary violence. They did not go to start fights, however they did DEFEND themselves. The organization was intended to raise the Black community from the dependent state that it was (and still) in. \n\nSecond of all, it is true that the FBI intentionally placed drugs and weapons (first drugs, then weapons) in accessible places. They also put other pro-Black organizations against one another to kill each other off. The FBI had a covert operation to destroy the Black Panthers.\n\n"In August 1967, the FBI initiated a covert action program -- COINTELPRO -- to disrupt and "neutralize" organizations which the Bureau characterized as "Black Nationalist Hate Groups." 1 The FBI memorandum expanding the program described its goals as:\n\n1. Prevent a coalition of militant black nationalist groups.... \n\n2. Prevent the rise of a messiah who could unify and electrify the militant nationalist movement ... Martin Luther King, Stokely Carmichael and Elijah Muhammad all aspire to this position.... \n\n3. Prevent violence on the part of black nationalist groups.... \n\n4. Prevent militant black nationalist groups and leaders from gaining respectability by discrediting them.... \n\n5. . . . prevent the long-range growth of militant black nationalist organizations, especially among youth."\n\nTo sum up the Black Panther Party was not a racist organization, rather an organization that promoted, self-love, self-respect, self-defense, and self-reliance in the Black community, something that was (and still is) considered as a threat to the mainstream American population. To end this problem of the Black man possibly rising in ranks, the White man, excuse me the FBI, infiltrated the Party with drugs to kill the mind and the spirit, and then with weapons to totally eliminate them from the world. In simple words, the Black Panther Party was a threat therefore the US government deminished its existence.

Yo whats crackalaken?... Good Questions..and being Black I can tell you the Panthers are reverse racism in the worst way. Anyone that listens to Farakhan is not the sharpest tool in the shed. I also found it funny that the ORIGINAL Klan(there a 3 diffent Klan Nations) after the Civil War was created to drive carpetbaggers(YANKEES) from the south and the 2nd coming of the Klan was the one that really started the Hangings and crap..they also hung quite a few whites and had 4 million members in the 30's. Bobby and Huey Long never came close to that with the Panthers. Both Org. now are not really strong, maybe people see that only as ONE can we do anything.

Yes not all terrorists are Muslims. Unfortunately, MOST religious terrorism is committed by Muslims. So, statistically, a terrorist is more likely to be a Muslim than any other religion.\n\nAddition: Christians are more numerous than Muslims yet commit less terrorism. Also, the Chinese (Confuciusims?) are way more than the Muslims, yet they don't commit terrorism. Also, if you read my answer it says RELIGIOUS terrorism i.e. terrorism in the name of religion. IHMO, Islam is the only religion where such a concept is supported by scripture.

i do not think all muslims are terrorists, just like i don't think all christians are racist, cross-burning, biggots.\n\nthe following is a copy of an answer that i just put in a similiar question...\n\none day, a couple years ago, i was pumping my gas and the young man at the pump next to me starting talking to me. we had very good conversation for those 3 minutes. it was obvious that he was not from the area, so i asked "where are you from?" he lowered his head, hesitated, softened his voice and said "afganistan". i felt so ashamed of americans at that moment. that this young man could not even lift his head and say proudly where he was form. did he think that i was going to yell out at the top of my voice? did he think i was going to call him a terrorist? i still to this day remember that moment.\n\neven among the christian faith, there are people that take it too far. the KKK consider themselves chritians. do the rest of the christians walk with head bowed and whisper that they are christians for fear that someone will call them out as a racist biggot? no, they don't.\n\ndo not judge all by one.

I think there is plenty of hate for both groups, and they stand on basically the same level. The reason we see more animosity directed towards the fundamentalist muslims is simply because there are more of them and they're a bigger problem. In comparison, the KKK is small potatoes. Not that what either group does is acceptable.\n\nAdditionally, mainstream Christianity publicly denounces the actions of the KKK. Perhaps it has more to do with a lack of freedom of speech in these middle eastern countries, but we don't see this from mainstream Islam.

I don't think the word 'terrorist' existed at that time.\n\nOur founding fathers were, however considered traitors to the British Government.

It is a racist organization for black muslims.  Kinda like the KKK, but for blacks.  They are idiots!  Look into something caled "Afrocentrism".  It will open your eyes to these idiots' way of thinking.

Because after 9/11, we needed someone to blame. We had to have a scapegoat, and the government and media gave us one: Islam. We did the exact same thing with Japan during WWII. Hitler did this as well with the Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, etc. (note: I am NOT comparing America to Nazi Germany, I am merely pointing this out as an isolated fact). It's just human nature; we believe that everything has a cause, whether it be good or bad. And to us, the cause of 9/11 is Islam. Of course, discriminating against anything with a turban and a Qu'ran is a very unfortunate effect of this, but it's something we do as a species.

They are religious extremists not terrorists. That's why.

I agree that it "Islamic Terrorism" is a misnomer since the terrorists are motivated on the basis of political considerations rather than purely religious ones. Also, you are right to point out that when Christians commit hate crimes, they are not labeled "Christian Terrorists" but instead are looked upon as a single freak outlaw or as political activists. I also agree that Americans are largely ignorant of the beliefs and practices of the average Muslim and are therefore very easily convinced that Islam is a violent religion when the truth is that all the monotheistic religions are capable of inciting violence in their believers. However, I think you are wrong to blame this on the so-called brain-washing of "Jews who have tremendous hold over the mdeia - electronic and print - in the U.S." This comment shows that you are just as prone to believe in stereotypes, thereby misinterpreting and overstating the influence of Jews, as Americans, or for that matter, the people of any other nation are.\n\nA closed-minded xenophobe is a closed-minded xenophobe, and politically-motivated paranoia is politically-motivated paranoia. Your efforts to shift the blame wrongly placed on the Muslims to the Jews is transparent and unfair. No nation, no religion, no people has a monopoly on innocence and goodness, nor on evil and self-serving hypocrisy, for that matter.
