The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is a [[social]] and [[cultural]] [[movement]] in the [[United States]]. It aims at the suppression of [[African-American]], [[Jewish]], [[Homosexual]], and [[Catholic]] interests.  [[Violence]] and [[intimidation]] are historically the means used to achieve these ends. Its active membership is estimated to be less than 10,000 in the United States. The Klan presents itself as a Christian organization, but most Christians who are not members deem it to be inherently un-Christian if not anti-Christian.
