Par for the course for the looneytune SPLC.SPLC declared Maajid Nawaz a proponent of hate speech. That's all one needs to know about them. That man risks his life every day trying to fight a hopeless battle against hate, and they proclaim him to be the hateful one. Disgusting.
It is sad but telling that the SPLC’s so-called field guide to Muslim-haters is not a list of violent extremists, but is instead a blacklist of prominent writers whose opinions on a range of cultural and political issues are offensive to the SPLC.
The SPLC blacklist list contains practicing Muslims like Maajid Nawaz, ex-Muslims like Ayaan Hirsi Ali, foreign-policy think-tankers like Frank Gaffney and Daniel Pipes, and right-wing firebrands like David Horowitz—none of whom could be reasonably described as anti-Muslim bigots.
The fact is that more than 40 years after its founding, the Southern Poverty Law Center is now aggressively defending the kind of violent supremacists (Muslim Brotherhood front groups) it had once sought to prosecute, and attacking types like Nawaz it had once defended against violence.
Why Did the SPLC Label 15 Prominent Writers and Thinkers 'Anti-Muslim Extremists'?
