'''Christian Identity''' is a branch of [[Christianity]] which asserts that the "[[Aryan]]", or white people of [[Europe|European]] descent, are the descendants of the [[Lost Tribes of Israel]] of the [[Bible]], and that the [[Jews]] are not, but are rather the offspring of [[Satan]]. They believe that while [[Adam]] and [[Eve]] were white people created in the image of [[God]], non-white people ("mud people") were created separately from whites, and they generally assert that [[salvation]] is only available to white people. Christian Identity groups or churches can be found in virtually every region of the United States. It has also engaged in [[crime|criminal]] behavior ranging from [[hate crime]]s to acts of [[terrorism]].
