These groups -- Christian Identity, Aryan Nations, KKK, Neo-Nazi's -- are roundly and uniformly rejected by ALL major mainline Christian denominations and fellowships. In short, they are "so-called" becasue they ARE NOT Christians. Remember the old adage "if you stand in a garage that doesn't make you a car?" Think on that for a while...maybe you'll get it...
On the other hand, MOST Muslim extremist groups have the support of Islamic governments -- Hezbollah = Iran, Hamas = Palestine & Syria, AlQueda = Saudi Arabia (at least part of it!), Sunni's in Iraq, Taliban SUnni's in Afghanistan, etc..., The Mahdi Army (Shi'a's in Iraq) = Iran.
FAR from renouncing or rejecting these terrorist movement, otherwise widely popular and accepted religious authorities in the Muslim world promote and fund them, and issue "fatwa's" in the name of Allah granting that they are doing his will in carrying out the violence.
For one to equate the "extremists" of Christianity vs. Extremist Islamofascism is to misunderstand both Christianity and Islam, and the cultures in which they exist. And, it's mind-shatteringly ignorant!
