The United States is not in a war on Islam, we're in a war on terror. The U.S.'s vision is a peaceful and prosperous Islamic world that's able to practice its religion freely but respects others.

It's all happening in countries fighting in the US led war in Iraq.
Spain, the UK and the Netherlands are all US allies in the Iraq war.

I'm not sure what you guys are talking about as I know of no terrorist attacks in the U.S. by any of these groups in the recent past.
The War on Terror has two fronts -- the homefront that each country is responsible for in its own territory (of course with intelligence sharing when applicable), and the proactive front in the Middle East that we are working together on.

Ku Klux Klan, secret terrorist organization that originated in the southern states during the period of Reconstruction following the American Civil War and was reactivated on a wider geographic basis in the 20th century. The original Klan was organized in Pulaski, Tennessee, during the winter of 1865 to 1866, by six former Confederate army officers who gave their society a name adapted from the Greek word kuklos (“circle”). Although the Ku Klux Klan began as a prankish social organization, its activities soon were directed against the Republican Reconstruction governments and their leaders, both black and white, which came into power in the southern states in 1867.

The only way you can win hearts and minds is to overthrow the totalitarian regimes oppressing the Middle Eastern peoples and help them build democracy. That's the painful lesson that's taken us decades to learn.
