The Nazis never were Christians. They sometimes used the cover of Christianity and other religions in their propaganda but they developed their own Pagan rituals for weddings, births and other important ceremonies. They also exterminated thousands of priests and millions of Christians in concentration camps.

The Nazis used any religion to further their power. For example, the Nazis raised two Muslim Waffen SS Division during the war. These were the only true "religious" SS Division the Nazis ever created (and it is safe to say that the Germany was not a Muslim nation). Himmler was fascinated by the thought of Muslims to be fearless soldiers willing to kill for their religion. One of these Muslim Waffen SS divisions (The Hanjer Division) was responsible for the murder of over 90 percent of the Yugoslavian Jewish population.

The KKK has never been a part of Christianity and is repudiated by every Catholic sect. Members of the KKK that commit violence are put in jail. Now compare that to the thousands of islamic terrorist groups that meet, recruit and fund raise in the local mosque.

What you say about the KKK (or even about the Nazis) is precisely what I'm trying to point out : the most heinous crimes are committed by people who disguise their earthly ambitions and personal prejudice behind religious or patriotic color.

The true message of religion is, in my own and humble opinion and as I see it, to give people and society a higher goal, and to reveal what's good within us. Christianity is not a religion of hatred, it is supposed to be a religion of love. Is it presently taught as such ? Yes, definitely. Was it always taught like that ? Sorry, but no.

I live in a city that, 400 years ago (not all that much when it comes to Christianity) the Protestants were sieging against loyalist Catholic troops. You go to La Rochelle, you'll see a city where Protestant and Catholics were quite physically at each other throats, and where killing children and burning churches were very commonplace. And it was a war between fellow Christians.

Is Islam taught as a religion of peace today ? No, certainly not, we have countless reports that indicate quite the contrary. Could it be taught as a religion of peace ? Yes it can - as it once was.
