The nation of Islam hasn't lynched anyone, but they've sent their own kids through minefields and into battle, as well as targeted American and Israeli children (Jews and non-Jews alike) for violence. Their textbooks teach kids that Israel doesn't exist and that Jews are descended from pigs (you can find this information pretty easily, as they don't hide it).

This kind of thing makes me sick, but it doesn't surprise me. All I can say is they will be in for quite a shock when they die.

I doubt they understand irony, they can't even spell "care";)True to form, their ignorance is obvious.

One of the best retorts I have ever heard myself, puasamanda - Mom said it to her stepmother at least once.

And I did not know that about the word Aryan, Tink. Thanks for the education. I wonder if the KKK and the Aryan Nation understand the term "irony"?

just wanted to point out that aryan in the first place does not mean white at all, sanskrit for noble

Aryan |ˈe(ə)rēən; ˈar-; -yən|

noun

a member of a people speaking an Indo-European language who invaded northern India in the 2nd millennium bc, displacing the Dravidian and other aboriginal peoples.

It always makes me laugh that the KKK would be Christian. Don't they know Jesus wasn't white?

LOL @ "Does that make me a car if I stand in my garage?"

How have I lived this long in earth and not heard that? I love it.

Those SPLC links are good. I stand educated on those events and on the Zebra Murders, so thanks.

But if we don't want debate, can we stick to the KKK/White Power people for this discussion? I do feel they haven't been getting the attention they deserve lately.

Lula: Info on the NoI if you are interested... I would say that starting a debate about which of these groups is more racist, criminal, or reprehensible is splitting hairs.

Southern Poverty Law Center links on the Nation of Islam

The Zebra Murders in San Fransisco were carried out by a NoI death squad calling themselves the 'Death Angels'. At the time was a very high profile case. This particular group was suspected in the murders of at least 71 people.

Nation of Islam hasn't lynched anyone that I've heard of. Some NoI *members* have been lynched, but they don't appear to spend much time on the doling-out end of that particular activity. They also don't play much with fire - unlike the KKK (churches, crosses on lawns, yadda yadda).

I'm not shocked that the KKK is brazenly marketing their own brands of children's wear. I am, however, shocked that a Christian bookstore is helping them do so.

Why would anyone be shocked? Hate groups, terrorists, and extremeists the world over indoctrinate their children.

The Nation of Islam sells onsies and children's shirts, too. Google it.

I'd go with "not shocked" because they need to keep their membership up, I imagine. And like you said...children don't leave the womb seething with hate for (fill in the blank with whatever). Its taught.

Also going with "saying your Christian because you go to church? Does that make me a car if I stand in my garage?"
