Of course they have a right to take any position, but everyone can recognize THEIR hatred towards groups that are not “hate” groups, just not Leftist like the SPLC.
Catholics have told me to my face that I am not going to heaven because I am not Roman Catholic. I don't think they hate me. One of them in fact, loved me very much and was quite worried for my soul.
Had both Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses (who some people do not consider Christian as well) tell me similar things. None of them were out to do me injury because of it.
Now the mohammedans hate me. I draw that conclusion because any number of them tell me that they want to kill me if I don't do things their way. I believe them.
You try to kill me or injure me, that is hate. You don't agree that I fit in a social or religious category, we will agree to disagree.
