Islamic fundementalists simply tell us their goals and the process they plan to undertake to attain them. Those of us who have ears and brains of our own don’t really need others groups to tell us what we should fear.

The Center for American Progress report sounds like fearmongering towards those who actually believe the islamo-fascist promises.

Keep your head on straight and perhaps you won’t lose it.

The uber-rich and corporatists have one goal in mind: to distract the people and keep them fighting amongst eachother over trivia such as skin color and religion. All the while they rape the country and the people of everything they have.

What is worse, is that the more they gain, the more money they can direct toward themselves and away from the people. It is a never-ending cycle and as long as the people continue to fall for the trap (of divisiveness and infighting) instead of understanding what is really going on, it will continue to get worse.

The strategy is successful and unfortunately I don’t see an end to it anytime soon.

Might I add that the foundations listed in the post fund many mainstream projects, such as PBS programs and the like, hopefully they will learn to keep a better watch on where their grants go.

Richard Farnsworth,
Are you really incapable of distinguishing between supporters of a major world religion and people who systematically spread slanderous lies about that religion?
And who has said anything at all about the “evil White Man” in relation to this topic?
As a person of northern European descent, it has been my life-long experience that the only people who complain about about “unfairness to Whites” are RACISTS who resent being called out for their racism.

So glad these haters are being exposed, and that SPLC is getting some help doing it. You know what they say: sunshine is the best disinfectant.

Matthew Bright,
I think what is happening, in re Murdoch’s and Saudi Royal…they are helping the people of hate speech become their own victims of self-destruction. Most people from other countries know or at least think, that all Americans want is money, power, sex and drugs. To kinda explain this, remember when OBL said that we would end up bankrupting this country with the wars in the ME. That is what is happening, is it?

But wait, there’s more, see this story, Kashmir vs. West Bank, http://hurryupharry.org/2011/0.....west-bank/ and to think that it stops at Murdoch, you know that Beck has a ‘tv’, here is something else (***note, I have not looked at this, but you may want to) “British National Party Television,” http://bnptv.org.uk/2011/03/eu.....o-marxism/ here a speech was given by Nick Griffin, and lastly, here is something else (***note, I have not read this either, I usually don’t pull up pdf files) “How a BNP government would impoverish, divide and bankrupt Britain,” http://www.nothingbritish.com/.....report.pdf and while you’re at it for hurryupharry see the story, “Repairing Richard Silverstein’s World on 8-24-2011, and you will see the racist comments this blogger said about Jesse Jackson Jr. visiting Israel, this blogger is in Seattle. As the commenter above, Hugo, said about Jim Crow, this blogger made some horrible remarks about this. You’d be surprised by what is really going on, that is why I read SPLC and hurry up harry, because this is bigger than you think! It doesn’t stop or begin at OUR waters edge.

I’m not a conspiracy freak, but consider that the largest shareholder of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corps, besides Rupert Murdoch himself, and which provides the most important outlet for these purveyors of hate speech, is a member of the Saudi Royal family.

Stirring up hate has always been a tool for the both the world’s super rich and the Republican Party in the US, and I suspect that if the Saudi government and Arab despots around the world didn’t have an Israel to blame for the necessity of their vicious and underhanded juntas, they’d have to invent one.

Vast right- wing conspiracy? No: highly concentrated, intensely focused, fearsomely organized, forethoughtfully malicious, RICH conspiracy. What do they REALLY want? Why do they think they’ll get it this way? Figure that out, and you may have done this country the greatest service since the Union won the Civil War.

It’s not been a full day yet and Think Progress has already been “attacked” by David Horowitz, who called Think Progress “fascistic” but did not offer any logical rebuttal of the Center for American Progress’s (CAP) findings beyond the same brand of conspiracy-mongering speech he’s used.

Robert Spencer has also chimed in and called the CAP report a part of the “Islamic Supremacist Propaganda Machine,” as reported on Think Progress.

Obviously, CAP hit a nerve with these cranks. Sadly, it’s further proof that you can get people to say ludicrous – and in this instance, patently threatening – rhetoric if you give them enough money.

The hatred being incited against Muslim Americans is rising to almost a fever pitch. As an African American, I recognise the parallels to the Racial hatred incited against my people during the era of Jim Crow. I refer to the progressive dehumanising of Muslim Americans by people who should know better. People like David Yerushalmi a Jewish American who should not do to Muslims, what has been done against Jewish People for centuries.
During Jim Crow, the open public hatred of African Americans made it easy for white mobs to riot, lynch and murders us. It was Jewish Americans and other White Americans standing side by side with us that put that shameful era behind us. I call on Black Americans and White Americans to stand beside Muslims Americans and not allow others to deny them their Civil Rights given to ALL Men by our Creator.
