There is no such thing as a KKK sect of Christianity. At best, it is Identity Christianity.
Christian Identity (also known as Identity Christianity) is an interpretation of Christianity which advocates the belief that only Celtic and Germanic peoples, such as the Anglo-Saxon, Nordic nations, or the Aryan race and kindred peoples, are the descendants of the ancient Israelites and are therefore God's "chosen people". It is a racial interpretation of Christianity and is not an organized religion, nor is it affiliated with specific Christian denominations.

Contrast Islamism.
Salafi-jihadism is a religious and political ideology within Sunni Islam that combines a literalist, puritanical approach to the faith with the belief that armed struggle (jihad) is a necessary and legitimate tool to achieve socio-political change.
Adherents seek to return to what they consider "true Islam," modeled after the practices of the first three generations of Muslims (the Salaf). Their primary goal is often the creation of a global caliphate governed strictly by Sharia law.
Salafi-jihadists do not consider themselves a "sect" of Islam. Instead, they view themselves as the only true Muslims and believe their path is the only legitimate form of the faith.
They reject the very idea of "sects" or "schools of thought" (madhahib), seeing these as human innovations (bid'ah) that have corrupted the original, pure religion.

It's the western equivalent of a sect. And as such is no more representative of mainstream Christianity than extremist terrorist groups are representative of mainstream Islam. So the Pope was right to call Islam a religion of peaceful coexistence. If you've ever read any of the mystical writings of Sufi poets, you'd know this. You've been refuted.

There is not such thing as "equivalent of a sect" in Christianity.
Based on studies regarding racial equity and perceptions of discrimination, several Muslim-majority or significant Muslim-population countries are frequently ranked among those with the highest levels of reported racism or lower racial equity.
According to the 2024–2026 data from sources like the U.S. News & World Report and World Population Review:
Top "Worst for Racial Equity" List: Of the top 10 countries ranked in 2024 as having the lowest racial equity, roughly 5-6 are Muslim-majority or have large Muslim populations (Iran, Bahrain, Azerbaijan, Libya, Lebanon, and sometimes Turkey or Malaysia depending on the specific survey metrics).
Key Rankings: Iran is often ranked as having the lowest racial equity, followed by countries like Bahrain and Lebanon, which have been identified as having high levels of racial intolerance in various studies.
Context: Racism in these regions often manifests as anti-Black racism, sectarian discrimination, or the marginalization of minority ethnic groups (such as Kurds or Baluchi in Iran).

"A sect is a smaller, often breakaway group with distinct, unconventional, or stricter beliefs and practices compared to a larger, established religious body or movement. Sects are typically defined by their divergence from mainstream doctrine, frequently maintaining high tension with surrounding society."
So the KKK and extreme muslim groups, as well a certain fundamentalist Christian nationalism groups, are all sects as defined above. You're done.
Again, it's sad when you feel the need to proclaim victory. 9_9
Taking a definition out of context is just intellectual dishonesty.
Yes, leftists love political violence. 9_9
Aww...little MAGA snowflakes think satirical comedy is violence now. lol
I didn't watch the video. I assumed from the thumbnail that it was the AI one with Trump being violently hit and thrown to hell. Guess not.
