Southern Poverty Law Center admits wrong and pays $3M+ fine

The Southern Poverty Law Center, Inc. has apologized to Quilliam and its founder Maajid Nawaz for wrongly naming them in its controversial Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists. In a public statement, the SPLC’s president, Richard Cohen, explained that “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 also agreed to pay a $3.375 million settlement, which Quilliam and Nawaz intend to use to fund work fighting anti-Muslim bigotry and Islamist extremism. “With the help of everyone who contributed to our litigation fund, we were able to fight back against the Regressive Left and show them that moderate Muslims will not be silenced,” said Nawaz. “We will continue to combat extremists by defying Muslim stereotypes, calling out fundamentalism in our own communities, and speaking out against anti-Muslim hate.”
Good. Now they just need to apologize to Sam Harris - and most of all, the brilliant Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

Well that is good since there is no way Nawaz, the Radical Muslim Terrorist, can be an anti-muslim extremist.

The most radical leftist organization in this country. By far.

THEY are the fricking terrorist organization.

SPLC is scum.

Maajid is one of the most important figures in fighting rabid leftist defense of Islam. Glad he finally kicked SPLC's arse.

quote:Yeah, but it wasn't always that way. They used to do important work. Harris seems to believe that they've raised so much money from so many radical leftist donors that they have been forced to veer off in this direction. In any event, as long as they have Hirsi Ali on that list, in my mind, they occupy the lowest rung of hell.

Exactly right. You don't go through the legal process all the way to settlement negotiations over a "simple mistake".

Other organizations should be running to the court house. With any luck, these people get put out if business.
