After years of smearing good people with false charges of bigotry, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has finally been held to account. A former Islamic radical named Maajid Nawaz sued the center for including him in its bogus “Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists,” and this week the SPLC agreed to pay him a $3.375 million settlement and issued a public apology.
The SPLC is a once-storied organization that did important work filing civil rights lawsuits against the Ku Klux Klan in the 1970s. But it has become a caricature of itself, labeling virtually anyone who does not fall in line with its left-wing ideology an “extremist” or “hate group.”
Nawaz is a case in point. Since abandoning Islamic radicalism, he has advised three British prime ministers and created the Quilliam Foundation, to fight extremism. He is not anti-Muslim. He is a Muslim and has argued that “Islam is a religion of peace.”

You are correct sir. Those Ass hats 🎩 NEVER had even an ounce of credibility. Screw then.

I love happy stories. Even if old news.
It only was for peace when Mohammed was on the run and in trouble, seeking help and adherents. Once he got his little Army, his Koranic verses changed tune later on
The ACLU became a joke when they got federal funding.
When your speech is subsidized with my publishing money being taxed, it violates the civil rights of the 1st Amendment
The ACLU is the oxymoronic parasite organization

That the SPLC has no credibilty is obvious...but that the WashPo would point this out is remarkable.
The SPLC never had any credibility to anybody with a brain. They’ve been a Leftist hate group for many years.
The Southern Poverty Law Center : another tax free scam ( like the Clinton Foundation ) makes huge profits - while evading paying their fair share of taxes ... surpassed a half billion dollars in total assets and now has $121 million parked offshore.

The SPLC is a anti-society, pro-government propaganda outfit.
And The Washington Post is a anti-society, pro-government propaganda outfit.There isn’t a dime’s worth of difference between the SPLC and any one of the major journalism outlets.
