Ku Klux Klan

Watching an A&E show on the KKK. In the 1920s there were up to 3 million members of the Klan. It was religious-based. It didn't advertise itself as going out to lynch blacks, but as a society bent on saving white protestant traditions.

Sound familiar? It seems to me we ought to be studying this movement and how it was defeated and use it as a template to fight terrorism.

I mean, there were 16 US Senators that were members of the Klan. This is not dissimilar from governments in the Arab world with members of hardcore Islamicist groups.
