Domestic Terrorists

White Supremacists

The most active type of domestic terrorists or extremists in Pennsylvania or the U.S. are White Supremacists.

Although popularly called “hate groups” by the media it is important to recognize that most ethnic or cultural groups have people who either believe they are superior or hate others because of their culture or ethnicity.

Many white supremacist groups embrace some mainstream issues; conservative politically, patriotic, and fundamentally Christian, but that is where any similarity stops. Racism clearly sets white supremacists apart.

They believe:

• Aryans (whites) are “God’s Chosen People”; all others are inferior or even evil.
• Ethnic segregation is needed to keep the white race pure.
• Aryans should have their own homeland governed by and for whites.
• White rights have eroded with the civil rights movement and need to
   be aggressively protected.
• There is a coming worldwide economic collapse pitting the “have-not's”
   (people of color) against the “haves” (white Christians). This race war will
   ultimately lead to a world under Aryan domination, if they are prepared.
