_Citizen Warrior_
(https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2015/active-anti-muslim-groups)
was designated a "hate group" by the
_Southern Poverty Law Center_
(https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/ideology/anti-muslim)
(SPLC). But since we shared the
designation with the likes of _Political Islam_
(https://www.politicalislam.com/) ,
the _Tennessee Freedom Coalition_
(http://www.citizenwarrior.com/2011/07/tennessee-freedom-coalition.html) and
the _Center for Security Policy_
(http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/) , we feel pretty good about it.
Fred Fleitz, senior vice president for policy and programs with the Center
for Security Policy, wrote _an article_
(http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016/02/19/what-do-ben-carson-frank-gaffney-share-both-are-victims-left-wing-s
mear-machine.html) with some interesting facts about the SPLC. Here are
some excerpts from his article:
This week, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) named my organization,
the Center for Security Policy, a “hate group” because of our work
highlighting the threat from radical Islam.
The SPLC is best known for its work decades ago fighting legal battles
against segregation in the South. But it long ago morphed into a far left
group with one purpose: manufacturing material to slander conservatives for
use
by the news media and on the Internet.
The SPLC is not a civil rights organization — it is a far left advocacy
group that tries to discredit its political enemies on the right with
incoherent hate lists that wrongly associate them with notorious bigots to
advance
a liberal agenda. This is consistent with #12 of Saul Alinsky’s “Rules
for Radicals”: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
”
SPLC also demonized conservatives with bogus hate charges because it has
found this kind of fearmongering to be very lucrative. According to the SPLC’
s 2014 tax return, _this non-profit organization had $54 million in
revenue and $315 million in assets_
(https://www.splcenter.org/sites/default/files/990-10-31-15.pdf) .
Back in 2000, an investigative report into the SPLC’s activities was
published by Harper’s Magazine titled _The church of Morris Dees: How the
Southern Poverty Law Center profits from intolerance_
(http://harpers.org/archive/2000/11/the-church-of-morris-dees/) . It described
the SPLC and its
activities as “essentially a fraud” that “shuts down debate, stifles free
speech,
and most of all, raises a pile of money, very little of which is used on
behalf of poor people.”
Perhaps the main reason the SPLC has been able to raise such huge sums
because its president, Morris Dees, is so skilled at using scare mongering
mailings for fund raising that in 1998 he was inducted into the Direct Mailing
Association Hall of Fame.
Based on its 2010 tax return, the liberal website Daily Kos _criticized
the SPLC in 2012 for its enormous wealth, offshore bank account in the Cayman
Islands, and ownership in several foreign corporations_
(http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/8/27/1124823/-SPLC-238M-assets-Bermuda-acct-co-owns-foreig
n-firms) .
The author of this article asked, “What I’m very curious to learn is how
keeping hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars in assets, several offshore
bank accounts and part ownership in foreign financial firms in any
substantive way addresses poverty in America.”
I believe the SPLC’s new focus on Islamophobia is because the organization
has identified attacking critics of radical Islam as the ultimate money
pot. For example, Saleh Abdulla Kamel, a Saudi banker believed to have been a
financer of Usama bin Laden, gave $10 million to Yale University in 2015
to build an Islamic law center.
Given the SPLC’s lack of scruples, greed and offshore operations, I
believe it is very likely that this group is receiving funding from Gulf state
billionaires like Kamel to discredit anyone who criticizes radical Islam and
the global jihad movement.
The news media must stop being manipulated by the SPLC’s calumny of its
political enemies.
Reporters should realize that an organization which attacks all critics of
radical Islam as Islamophobes, refuses to mention the extremism and
intolerance of radical Islamist groups, and is silent on the growing
anti-Semitism on the left and violence against Jewish university students
cannot be
considered a neutral and authoritative source.
