Want to explain where in the words of Christ he directed the persecution and murder of black people by white Americans?

Christians draw their faith from more than just the translated words of Jesus as documented by his followers, but the Old Testament as well. Regardless, you should ask that question of the KKK, I'm not trying to justify their actions. I am simply pointing out that they use religion as a cover for their ideology just as radical Islamists do.

I believe the point you are driving at however; is that you feel that Christianity is inherently less violent and fantical than Islam. I disagree. All you have to do is look at European history for the last 1,000 years to see this. From the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, witch burnings and throughout the Dark Ages, Chrisitanity has led it's more extreme followers to perform extreme acts of violence.

I would also point out that the whole phenomenon of "Dhimmitude' is not unique to Islam, but rather the natural progression of any intolerant religion in a closed society. For proof that this is not unique to Islam, look no further than the small New England settlements of the 16th and 17th centuries. Members of the society who did not follow the religion of the town were shunned, less favored in their business relationships and generally treated as second class citizens. In extreme cases they were accused of satanic worship and killed.

As George Santayana famously said, those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
