Daily Caller: The controversial Southern Poverty Law Center has reached a settlement to anti-extremist organization Quilliam resulting in an apology and a $3.375-million payment for wrongly naming the group and its founder as anti-Muslim extremists.
The SPLC originally placed the organization and president Maajid Nawaz in a list directed for journalists named the Field Guide for Anti-Muslim Extremists.
“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,” SPLC president Richard Cohen said in a statement.
The money from the legal settlement will be used to “fund work fighting anti-Muslim bigotry and Islamist extremism,” according to a statement from Quilliam.
“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.” more
HAHAHAHAHA! Fuck those Soros funded commie bastards!
SPLC would have fought to the death if the plaintiff was named Wilson or Smith. They were just afraid that a car bomb would be driven through the front doors of their HQ.
The damn SPLC can afford it; those limp-dicks have almost as much cash as Morris F*#kin Deeds !!

Hopefully this will be a precedent for a landslide of lawsuits against this vile operation.
Someone at the SPLC googled the Quilliam foundation and saw Tommy Robinson worked there and knee jerked off and it cost them 3 mill. Wonderful.
SPLC is a bigoted group.
How cool that, now that they’ve turned into a hate group, their tactic of suing is turned on them!
The award was peanuts. The SPLC has over $250 million parked in offshore accounts. That is quite a slush fund.
