Why Christian Identity might be annoying:

    They believe the white race is the race of God and non-whites are the forces of evil.
    They believe the Bible provides a religious foundation for racism.
    They are called the ‘glue of the racist right.’
    They claim the ’10 Tribes of Israel’ were composed of white Aryans.
    They promote violence against non-Aryans, interracial couples, prostitutes and gays.
    They are associated with the Ku Klux Klan and Neo Nazis.
    They believe Jews control the United States government.
    They reside on compounds and stockpile food, weapons and ammunition for Armageddon.
    Many members form right-wing militia groups.
    They are considered a domestic terrorist threat in the United States by the FBI.
    They support Northern Migration; an effort to turn Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming into an ‘Aryan’ homeland.
    Members of the movement include Eric Rudolph and Buford Furrow.

Why Christian Identity might not be annoying:

    They adhere to strong religious beliefs.
    They are not afraid to question government actions.
    They oppose Communism and taxes.
    Because they live on compounds, they are isolated from the general public.
    One religious scholar said: '(Christian) Identity is a religion by sociopaths, for sociopaths. It turns their sickness into virtue.’
