A decade after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, a second wave of anti-Muslim hatred is being propelled by a small cadre of activists who are exploiting Americans' fears of Islamic extremism, according to the latest issue of the Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Report, released today.
Are we safe from the threat of right-wing terrorism? As the Patriot movement comes roaring back and hate groups soar to record levels, is the American population being protected adequately?
A student group that claims to defend "Western civilization" and is hosting its first national conference this week in the Washington, D.C., area, has a history of associating with racist ideologues and espousing racist beliefs, according to a report issued today by the Southern Poverty Law Center (ÈËÊÞÐÔ½»).
The Southern Poverty Law Center today urged the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to reassess the resources it devotes to investigating non-Islamic domestic extremism. The request came as the ÈËÊÞÐÔ½» published an interview with a former top DHS analyst who charged that the department effectively dismantled the unit he once headed following the political right’s unjustified criticism of a 2009 report on right-wing terrorism.
Now, more than ever, we must work together to protect the values that ensure a fair and inclusive future for all.
