The '''Aryan Nations''' is an [[Anti-Semitism|anti-semitic]], [[Neo-Nazism|neo-Nazi]], [[White Supremacy|white supremacist]] terrorist organization that was originally based in Hayden, Idaho. [[Richard Girnt Butler]] founded the group in the 1970s, as an arm of the [[Christian Identity]] organization [[Church of Jesus Christ–Christian]]. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has called Aryan Nations a "terrorist threat", and the RAND Corporation has called it the "first truly nationwide terrorist network" in the United States. | |||
==Background== | ==Background== | ||
The beliefs of Aryan Nations are based on the teachings of Wesley A. Swift, a significant figure in the early Christian Identity movement. Swift combined British Israelism, extreme antisemitism and political militancy. He founded his own church in California in the mid-1940s, and he also hosted a daily radio broadcast in California during the 1950s and 1960s. In 1957, the name of his church was changed to the Church of Jesus Christ–Christian, which is used today by Aryan Nations churches. | The beliefs of Aryan Nations are based on the teachings of Wesley A.
