The name '''Ku Klux Klan''' has been used by three entirely different organizations in the U.S. While these copied the same name and regalia, they had very different goals and activities. Though all three groups were christian fundamentalists, much in the same way Al Queda are Muslim fundamentalists, both groups are responsable for acts of terrorism based on strict interpretations of thier religious texts.

The Klan of the 1860s was a violent effort by white Southerners to fight [[Reconstruction]]; it was suppressed by the federal government.
