The Klan isn't a religion. It's a bunch of disaffected morons getting together to talk about hating and killing people.

To say the hood is a religious symbol akin to a niqab is like saying a ballcap with "I Hate ######s" written on it is the same thing as a yarmulke.

Hey I didn't say it is, they do! (Even if they are past the batcrap crazy line)

The symbolism behind the insignia, according to various KKK groups, is that the blood drop in the center of the cross represents the blood shed by Jesus Christ at the Crucifixion, for the white Aryan race, whom they see as God's master race or chosen people

I don't know if it happens or not...I certainly hope not but what I think is truly irrelevant. This is based on what the law says and the naqib is setting precedence in this case which could be a precursor to there things like this.

I'm no lawyer but this has slippery slope possibilities all over it because its been taken to the court system IMO. Happy to be proven wrong however.
