Anti-Muslim Activists Named on “Radical Right” List

HeadlineMay 25, 2012

The Southern Poverty Law Center has included three prominent anti-Muslim activists and writers in their list of “30 new activists heading up the radical right.” The list includes Frank Gaffney, head of the Center for Security Policy; David Yerushalmi, founder of the Society of Americans for National Existence; and Pamela Geller, who has called Islam “the most antisemitic, genocidal ideology in the world.” The Southern Poverty Law Center also noted in their report that so-called “Patriot” hate groups opposed to the federal government have grown explosively in recent years, while anti-LGBTQ groups have grown highly vicious in their propaganda.
