ganization members may claim to be religious, their statements reveal
their beliefs to be totally opposed to religion. In general, they will state
the following:

While racist groups that represent racism
and xenophobia come together under the um-
brella of the Ku Klux Klan in America, the neo-
Nazis perform the same role in Europe. European
racism began with the skinheads in Great Britain, and
turned into a neo-Nazi movement in the 1990s. The main characteris-
