Petition: Remove 13 freedom fighters from the SPLC’s list of “anti-Muslim extremists”

Oct 30, 2016 6:36 pm By Robert Spencer

Some supporters of Maajid Nawaz and Ayaan Hirsi Ali have started a petition at Change.org, “Remove Maajid Nawaz and Ayaan Hirsi Ali from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)’s list of anti-Muslim extremists.” The clear implication of this petition is that Nawaz and Hirsi Ali are unjustly maligned by their inclusion on the list with “real bigots,” and that the rest of us deserve to be on the list. That not only unfairly maligns those who are on the list with Nawaz and Hirsi Ali, but is, as I explained here, self-defeating in granting the SPLC a legitimacy that it neither has nor deserves.

So I started another petition at Change.org: “Remove 13 freedom fighters from the SPLC’s list of “anti-Muslim extremists.” The text is adapted from the Nawaz/Hirsi Ali petition:

splc

Earlier this month, the Southern Poverty Law center, a money-making and incitement machine that purports to deal with hate crimes and discrimination, released a “Field Guide of Anti-Muslim Extremists.” This list identifies 15 different authors, scholars, and public figures and provides a brief description of each of them.

On the list were Maajid Nawaz of the Quilliam Foundation and Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born ex-Muslim human rights activist. Leftist, atheist, and Muslim reform groups have protested against their inclusion, claiming that the Southern Poverty Law Center is “a distinguished nonprofit organization” that has made a mistake by including Nawaz and Hirsi Ali, whom it terms “liberal reformists and human rights activists,” in its list of “anti-Muslim extremists.” Nawaz himself and his supporters have singled out others on the list for criticism, as if they were the “real bigots” and he is not. But his points attempting to make his case establish only that some have made decisions on how to deal with the jihad threat that differ from his, not that either he or they have ever engaged in any actual “bigotry.”

Nawaz and is supporters appear not to realize that the list itself is flawed. The 15 people on it are neither “anti-Muslim” nor “extremist.” “Anti-Muslim Extremists” list is just a tool to silence criticism of Islam. The Southern Poverty Law Center and its allies will smear anyone and everyone who discusses how jihadists use Islamic teachings to justify their actions as a bigot. The distinction Nawaz has tried to maintain between his work and that of the others on the list didn’t spare him from inclusion on the list. Nor will it spare anyone else who dares to speak the truth about these issues. Their fundamental confidence in the Southern Poverty Law Center demonstrates either inexcusable naivete, or fanatical attachment to the Left, or both.

Speak up for ALL of those who are fighting for freedom against jihad terror and Sharia oppression, and demand that the Southern Poverty Law Center remove not only Maajid Nawaz and Ayaan Hirsi Ali from their Field Guide of Anti-Muslim Extremists, but also Ann Corcoran, Steven Emerson, Brigitte Gabriel, Frank Gaffney, Pamela Geller, John Guandolo, David Horowitz, Ryan Mauro, Robert Muise, Daniel Pipes, Walid Shoebat, Robert Spencer, and David Yerushalmi, and apologize for equating them with Islamic jihadist “extremists”!

    Do you seriously think the SPLC gives a damn about this petition? I don’t; I think the SPLC will present the petition as evidence of their effectiveness.

    I can see it now. “The extremists have sent us a petition begging us [the SPLC] to stop calling them extremists.Well we won’t, and we see this petition as evidence of how these extremists are cowering in fear before the might of the SPLC and begging our forgiveness……..”

    Don’t play that game.

    Why aren’t you suing them and making them defend themselves in court? I think libel lawsuits against the SPLC would be far more effective in this case than petitions.

    Alternatively, why not use this SPLC actions against the SPLC? How about some of the named people getting together and announcing their pride at having been named “extremists” by a hate group like the SPLC? When a hate group like the SPLC hates you, then you must be doing something right.

    Shine a light under the rocks that the SPLC hides beneath and show the SPLC for what it really is.

      In reality, this petition has nothing to do with the SPLC. It is showing up the hypocrisy of those who are all upset about Nawaz and Hirsi Ali being on the list, but don’t care about the rest.

        Understood and signed. The question of the lawsuit, and it’s applicability in this matter, for Libel- is that doable and going forth?
        It seems on the surface that that would be a spendid place to lay out the evidence and force the courts to rule on the issue, via defamation of character. Or am I incorrect?

      • Mark A says

        Oct 31, 2016 at 3:54 pm

        OK. That’s a reasonable position.

        But when I clicked on the petition, I noticed it was being directed to the SPLC.

        Will a petition to the SPLC accomplish this objective of demonstrating the obvious hypocrisy and selectivity you mentioned?

    Some supporters of Maajid Nawaz and Ayaan Hirsi Ali have started a petition at Change.org, “Remove Maajid Nawaz and Ayaan Hirsi Ali from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)’s list of anti-Muslim extremists.”

    You know what? I genuinely hope they get what they’re petitioning for. That way maybe they’ll realize that SPLC reports are not based around a metric that allows for an accurate measuring of whatever it is they’re allegedly measuring but on, among other things, pandering and kowtowing to public opinion/pressure. Anyway, petition signed – the right one.

    Many Muslims would probably like to thank Mr. Cohen and his organization for the list, and hopefully remove HIM from their list of apes and pigs.

    • gravenimage says

      Oct 30, 2016 at 7:56 pm

      What is the foul Mubarak playing at here–as though pious Muslims are in support of critics of Islam or Muslim apostates like the brave Ayaan Hirsi Ali–or that they would cease hating Jews as a result.

      More meretricious claptrap, in any case.

          Oct 31, 2016 at 3:39 am

          No, Jay Boo.

          To spell it out:
          SPLC has created a hit list and a hate list useful for radicalized, hateful and revengeful Muslims when they want to justify their evil deeds.
          This is ironic since “The Southern Poverty Law Center is dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry and to seeking justice…”

          The President of SPLC is Jewish (Mr. Cohen), and according to the Quran he has family members among the apes and pigs – and Muhammad wasn’t into Darwinism – so one could suspect that Mr. Cohen, timid and dhimmified, wants to placate the Muslim community in the hope that they may understand, that even relatives to apes and pigs can be useful to Islam, and thereby defuse the contempt and even hatred towards him and his kinsmen the verse from sura 7, and other verses in the Quran, is bound to generate.

          Is that Greek to you?

          Oct 31, 2016 at 3:51 am

          To mubarak- As per your 3:39 am comment of Oct.31, 2016 what you refer to about the SPLC President and his “strategy” sounds like a big waste of time and also very devious. I find it hard to believe a lawyer in the US would go that way.

        • Mubarak says

          Oct 31, 2016 at 5:20 am

          I also find it hard to believe that a lawyer in the US would go that way, Linde. But if Mr. Cohen won’t/dare not speak up against the hate speech of the Quran in order to fight “hate and bigotry” the possibility certainly presents itself to reflective apes.
          But I hope my suspicion is ungrounded and that SPLC will consider removing the hate list they have generated.

          I know this joke:
          –”Good morning!”
          –”Axe handle”
          –”How are you”
          –”With a knife”

          Out of context it is nonsensical.
          The context: A deaf man is carving an ax handle with his knife when another man comes to greet him.

      I don’t see the logic in GI’s response to my comment, JB.
      If you say “Good morning!” to someone, you’d probably be confused if the person returns you greeting by saying “Axe handle.” -?

      There’s a lot to wade through from Mubarak here:

      “Good morning, Sir!” “Axe handle.”
      …

      I don’t see the logic in GI’s response to my comment, JB.

      But maybe you don’t have this saying in English?
      ……………………………….

      “Axe handle” is a crude reference to a part of a woman’s anatomy in slang English. Is this Mubarak’s reference? If so, it is *hardly* the crudest or most objectionable thing he has said here, given his constant apologia for Muslim rape and child abuse here.

      But there is nothing illogical in my last reply to his post, in any case–no amount of appeasement is apt to change Muslims on their Jew-hating stance, nor are pious Muslims fans of apostates who dare be critical of Islam.

      More:

      To spell it out:
      SPLC has created a hit list and a hate list useful for radicalized, hateful and revengeful Muslims when they want to justify their evil deeds.
      ……………………………….

      Muslims, of course, do not need justification from Infidels to violently target their victims.

      But yes–the SPLC providing them with a virtual hit list–as well as more fake “grievances”–is unconscionable.

      But why would Mubarak consider such targeting to be evil? After all, he is a constant apologist for Muslim rape. Why not other forms of violence?

      More:

      This is ironic since “The Southern Poverty Law Center is dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry and to seeking justice…”
      ……………………………….

      No, it’s not. The SPLC labels anyone who does not toe the “politically correct” line as “haters” and “bigots”.

      More:

      The President of SPLC is Jewish (Mr. Cohen), and according to the Quran he has family members among the apes and pigs – and Muhammad wasn’t into Darwinism – so one could suspect that Mr. Cohen, timid and dhimmified, wants to placate the Muslim community in the hope that they may understand, that even relatives to apes and pigs can be useful to Islam, and thereby defuse the contempt and even hatred towards him and his kinsmen the verse from sura 7, and other verses in the Quran, is bound to generate.

      Is that Greek to you?
      ……………………………….

      No, it’s not “Greek”–but it is also bs. The chances that Richard Cohen is aware of these verses and is specifically acting to address them are slim to none.

      He is simply following the hard Left line, that holds that those critical of a creed held in part by minorities must be “haters”.

      More:

      I also find it hard to believe that a lawyer in the US would go that way, Linde. But if Mr. Cohen won’t/dare not speak up against the hate speech of the Quran in order to fight “hate and bigotry” the possibility certainly presents itself to reflective apes.

      I abhor the nasty Richard Cohen, but unlike the vile Mubarak, I do no consider him an “ape”. *Ugh*.

          ………………………………..

          In other words, how *dare* I oppose his calling for us to be raped by his foul coreligionists? After all, Muslims have no problem with raping Infidel women and children–why would a Kuffar object?

          Of course Mubarak does not abhor him–this kind of dhimmitude is quite useful.

I have learned so much here from so many fine, clear thinking, logical people like yourself, as well as from others whose intentions are obscure and even malevolent. So again, thank you from my heart.

        Right now I have an ongoing “battle” with a dear person in my life who is Episcopalian and claims I should not condemn the Quran, but condemn the persons doing evil acts (based on the Quran) because of their misinterpretations of that work. Is there a name for that assertion? It is true each of us must account for our behaviors, but if our behaviors are based on a certain doctrine, then that signals pre-meditated motivation as opposed to a choice of the moment. But I never took a course in philosophy or logic so I am unsure. Any assistance you can give me to help clarify this point would be grrrreat! Take care dear graven, and kind regards.

    Not only is she a woman, but a dark skinned African woman who escaped from a misogynic arranged marriage? She has even proposed that Islam may be capable of reform.

    This proves beyond a shadow of doubt that your local imam is sending SPLC donations collected from their (Muslim congregations) along with laundered foreign blood-money.

    SPLC hates:
    Virtually all Christians and Jews
    Patriotic Republican voters
    Anyone who criticizes Islam

    Actually the SPLC is a ‘hate group’ of the hard left, anti-Americans. IMHO, it’s an HONOR to be listed by them, as it shows that those of you listed, courageous, honest scholars and those who actually stand up to the Islamo-fascists and the leftists wishing to destroy our nation, and take away our INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS as guaranteed by our Constitution and Bill of Rights, including our First Amendment, freedom of conscience, & impose oppression on women/homosexuals, etc. Those of us who are aware and awake, just need to keep telling the truth, everywhere we can. We MUST insist our congresscritters make a law: NO FOREIGN LAW in this country, including THE SHARIA. We are in WWIII, imposed globally by Islam on every kafir on earth, ‘until all religion is for Allah’. Learn Islam for yourselves. The best weapon Islam has against the west is our ignorance, PLUS the complicity of the media/ gov’t / and sadly the churches who cave to the TAQIYYA of the Interfaith movement.

    The ‘S’ in SPLC stands for SNEAKY

    Hoo -Ray!!
    SPLC has finally added a few additional token Muslims to their (Lone Wolf) list besides MOHAMED OSMAN MOHAMUD whom they sanitized

    However,
    Also, notice below how they lie by omission when they completely avoid mentioning that CODY SETH CRAWFORD — in the second paragraph– (whom they refer to as a “Christian warrior) was reacting to the Islamic inspired attack by the Muslim MOHAMED in the first paragraph.
    Yet both photos are currently posted in sequence.
    —————————————————————————–

    From the SPLC website

    — “MOHAMED OSMAN MOHAMUD is arrested in an FBI sting operation after attempting to set off what he thought was a car bomb at a Christmas tree lighting. He is charged with and eventually convicted of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction, although his attorney claims he was entrapped. Mohamud is sentenced in 2014 to 30 years in federal prison.”

    — “CODY SETH CRAWFORD allegedly firebombs the Salman Alfarisi Islamic Center in Corvallis just two days after a former Oregon State University student was arrested in a plot to detonate a car bomb during Portland’s annual Christmas tree lighting. Crawford had reportedly ranted about Muslims and describes himself as a Christian warrior after the arson. But complex legal questions surrounding Crawford’s mental health and actions of the prosecution delay the scheduling of a trial.”

      Nawaz–and the Quilliam Foundation–are pretty equivocal.

      But Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a brave Muslim apostate Anti-jihadist who has gone through the hell of Muslim death threats and attempts on her life–as well as smearing, harassment and being driven out of the Netherlands by dhimmi appeasers–in order to warn against the threat of Jihad.

      If someone does not consider Ayaan Hirsi Ali a hero, then the word has no meaning.

      • gravenimage says

        Oct 31, 2016 at 6:28 pm

        And Robert Spencer certainly considers the brave Ayaan Hirsi Ali to be a staunch Anti-Jihadist:

        In addition, putting newest first makes it difficult to see how a thread developed.

    I would have preferred the proposed supplemental petition simply describe Hirsi’s and Nawaz’s conduct as naive (or fundamentally flawed) and that it not suggest that the failure to include their fellow critics of Islam in their original petition was because the former are possessed of a “fanatical attachment to the Left.” That simply doesn’t ring true.

    I have long maintained that by demonizing all so-called leftists, RS’s effectiveness is undermined.He antagonizes many who would otherwise be more attentive to his scholarly analyses of all things Islam.
    In fact, most,if not all, attempts to define “left” at JW are tautological, i.e., a leftist is one who gives a pass to Islam and leftists are bad because they give a pass to Islam.

    Islamic ideology is bad because it prescribes a theocracy, one which abrogates fundamental civil and human rights. There is no freedom of speech or conscience. Homosexual acts, adultery, blasphemy and apostasy are capital offenses. Women and non-muslims do have have equality under the (sharia) law. The absolute barbarity of Islamic ideology is just as much an anathema to those who, under a sound working definition of the term, are leftists (or liberals, progressives, socialists, communists, atheists, etc) as it is to any others on the political spectrum.

    The definition of the term “leftist” (or liberal or progressive) IMHO has more to do with economic policy than it does with social issues such as abortion, death penalty, gay marriage, etc. All societies share a blend of socialistic and capitalistic properties to a varying degree. A lefty is one who might support less capitalism. Most Westerners are indoctrinated from childhood that communism is evil. People of good faith can argue about the ethics of the varying economic policies. People of good faith, when informed, can not argue about the barbarity of sharia law and Islamic ideology.

    SPLC is one of numerous groups with a high-sounding acronym for a title, while barely covering their agenda. I signed the petition, but with one caveat: I get the chance to repeat the ONE and only one thing that will stop the threat of religious tyranny – Amend the first sentence of the first amendment to the Constitution.

      How would you amend the first (and only) sentence of the first amendment to the US Constitution?
