SPLC Busted for Lying, Pays $3.3 Million

Posted on | June 18, 2018 | 1 Comment

Let’s talk about sweet cosmic justice:

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups, has apologized for including the Quilliam Foundation, a counter-extremism group, and its founder, Maajid Nawaz, in its Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists. “Mr. Nawaz and Quilliam have made valuable and important contributions to public discourse, including by promoting pluralism and condemning both anti-Muslim bigotry and Islamist extremism,” the SPLC wrote in a statement. The SPLC will also pay a $3.375 million settlement to Quilliam that will be used to fight “anti-Muslim bigotry and Islamist extremism,” according to a Quilliam press release. “We were able to fight back against the Regressive Left and show them that moderate Muslims will not be silenced,” Nawaz said in the release.
