this article also ran in today's californian, but at the bottom is a link from columnist kathleen parker's home newspaper, where you can read more of her columns.
i was particularly interested to read parker's argument in print, since my aunt has been saying the same thing for some time - that the klan were the "first american terrorists." she likes to bring this up whenever [certain types of conservative] "christians" (one woman in particular, though) start telling her that  "muslims" and "arabs" need to be "wiped out" so that  "we can get america back."  or something like that. 
my aunt delights in listening to these racist rants, then refuting them with the klan argument and watching the ranter shrivel up and go silent, without rebuttal.
the problem's not islam, or christianity (both books can be interpreted literally  to mean just about anything and justify just about any behavior),  but the radical maniacs who claim these holy books preach violence, as well as any "one people" who seem to stand by and allow such violence to occur in their name. http://www.orlandosentinel....
