More currently, do we judge all Hispanics both here and abroad for the barbarism and violence of the cartels along our borders? Can we be agreed these cartels are simply wolves, and their acts not representative of their Hispanic heritage or Christian faith? Aren't humans as sentient beings far too complex for uniform single entity identity?

I don't see any of those groups whose current core documents and beliefs call for lying, cheating, stealing, and eventually killing those who wish to worship differently. In fact, all but the drug cartels are our allies.
IRT to Richard's comments, the Muslims are living by the worst aspects of the Old Testament, as interpreted by a misogynist pedophilac murderer, and are absolutely obligated to do so by their faith, upon penalty of death. I know of no other modern religion that requires this degree of animosity to non-believers. The Klan and Nazis have not followed a particular faith, AFAIK. I suspect that they would prefer members who were agnostics or atheists.
