Beginning after the Civil War, members of the Protestant-led[SUP]
[62][/SUP]
Ku Klux Klan organization began engaging in
arson, beatings,
cross burning, destruction of property,
lynching,
murder,
rape,
tar-and-feathering, and whipping against
African Americans, Jews, Catholics, and other social or ethnic minorities.
They were explicitly Christian terrorist in ideology, basing their beliefs on a "religious foundation" in Christianity.[SUP]
[63][/SUP] The goals of the KKK included, from an early time on, an intent to "reestablish Protestant Christian values in America by any means possible," and believe that "Jesus was the first Klansman."[SUP]
[64][/SUP] Their cross-burnings were conducted not only to intimidate targets, but to demonstrate their respect and reverence for Jesus Christ, and the lighting ritual was steeped in Christian symbolism, including the saying of prayers and singing of Christian hymns.[SUP]
[65][/SUP] Many modern Klan organizations, such as the Knights Party, USA, continue to focus on the Christian supremacist message, asserting that there is a "war" on to destroy "western Christian civilization."
During the twentieth century, members of extremist groups such as the
Army of God began executing attacks against
abortion clinics and
doctors across the United States.[SUP]
[66][/SUP][SUP]
[67][/SUP][SUP]
[68][/SUP] A number of terrorist attacks were attributed to individuals and groups with ties to the
Christian Identity and
Christian Patriot movements, including the
Lambs of Christ.[SUP]
[69][/SUP] A group called
Concerned Christians were deported from Israel on suspicion of planning to attack holy sites in
Jerusalem at the end of 1999, believing that their
deaths would "lead them to heaven."[SUP]
[70][/SUP][SUP]
[71][/SUP] The motive for anti-abortionist
Scott Roeder murdering Wichita doctor
George Tiller on May 31, 2009 was a belief that abortion is criminal and immoral, and that this belief went "hand in hand" with his religious beliefs.[SUP]

[73][/SUP] The
Centennial Olympic Park bombing in 1996, as well as subsequent attacks on an abortion clinic and a lesbian nightclub, were made by
Eric Robert Rudolph;
Michael Barkun, a professor at Syracuse University, considers Rudolph to likely fit the definition of a Christian terrorist, whereas James A. Aho, a professor at Idaho State University, argues instead that Rudolph was inspired only in part by religious considerations.[SUP]

Hutaree was a
Christian militia group based in
Adrian,
Michigan. In 2010, after an
FBI agent infiltrated the group, nine of its members were indicted by a federal grand jury in Detroit on charges of
seditious conspiracy to use of
improvised explosive devices, teaching the use of explosive materials, and possessing a firearm during a crime of violence.[SUP]
[75][/SUP] On March 28, 2012, the conspiracy charges were dismissed.[SUP]
[76][/SUP] Terrorism scholar Aref M. Al-Khattar has listed
The Covenant, The Sword, and the Arm of the Lord,
Defensive Action,
The Freemen Community, and some "Christian militia" as groups that "can be placed under the category of far-right-wing terrorism" that "has a religious (Christian) component".[SUP]
