An Islamic extremist-turned counterextremist, chat show host, mayoral candidate, and liberal advocate of “secular islam” who grew up on the streets of Britain, Maajid Nawaz doesn’t fit a simple label, as the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) learned at their own cost.
On June 19, SPLC announced a $3.3 million settlement for placing Nawaz and his counterextremism organization Quillam on its “hate list” of anti-Muslim extremists.
