In every religion there are people who use parts of it for their own personal gain. Those people will have to answer for their actions on Judgement Day.

The KKK and other white supremacy groups were then and are now, not representative of a larger group. I see them as much different than
the president of an entire [Muslim] country saying Israel should be wiped off the map.
"The likeness of those who are entrusted with the Law of Moses, yet apply it not, is as the likeness of the ass carrying books. Wretched is the likeness of folk who deny the revelations of Allah. And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk. Say (O Muhammad): O ye who are Jews! If ye claim that ye are favoured of Allah apart from (all) mankind, then long for death if ye are truthful. But they will never long for it because of all that their own hands have sent before, and Allah is Aware of evil-doers. (Surah 65:5-7)
It is easy to see how contempt for non-Muslims is cultivated within the Qur'an.
