The Daily Caller reports that the $PLC has removed its website’s list of “anti-Muslim extremists.”
Why? Because one of $PLC’s victims might well sue.
The list is the fourth article in two months the SPLC has deleted over accuracy concerns.
The left-wing nonprofit first published the list in November 2016, offering it as a “field guide” to journalists.
In addition to [British Muslim reformer Maajid] Nawaz, the list included Somali-born activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who advocates against female genital mutilation, among other issues. Ali blasted the SPLC’s “deeply offensive smears” in an August 2017 op-ed for The New York Times.
The inclusion of Nawaz and Ali on the list sparked a backlash, including from establishment publications like The Atlantic, but the SPLC didn’t remove the page until Awaz took legal action. The SPLC did not return The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment by press time.
Awaz recently finished crowdfunding the initial legal fees for his lawsuit against the SPLC, which he first announced in June 2017. Nawaz retained the same law firm, Clare Locke LLP, that led the successful defamation lawsuit against Rolling Stone over the infamous UVA rape hoax.
Yet removing the list might not be enough. Nawaz said the legal war is just beginning.
$PLC also caved to legal threats from Max Blumenthal and other leftist writers, whom the hate-hunters accused of being involved with white nationalists.
The Remnant, Family Research Council and anyone else whom the $PLC has unjustly attacked should join the attack.
