An extreme leftist organization has issued what critics contend is a “starter kit” for jihadists and a “hit list” that paints a target on the backs of a dozen high-profile women who are outspoken in their opposition to jihad and Shariah law.
The list, which includes unflattering sketches of the ladies it vilifies, is titled “Women Against Islam” and was compiled by Mark Potok and Janet Smith of the Southern Poverty Law Center, or SPLC.

“Who appointed the SPLC the judge of what is a hate group and what isn’t? Its listing about me is made up of one lie after another, and that is no surprise,” [Pamela] Geller told WND.
“The SPLC is the real hate group, using that label to demonize and stigmatize all who don’t share their hard-left agenda. The SPLC smear machine does not profile jihad groups but they target and libel patriots, veterans, tea-party orgs and other groups that work in defense of freedom.”

“Publishing this list of names – along with artist sketches, birth dates and home towns – is a call to the jihadist enemy to target and attack the 12 of us,” she said. “With this list, the SPLC has aligned itself with Islamic law on slander, a capital crime, which is defined by Shariah as ‘anything that would offend a Muslim,’ including speaking truth about Islam. …
“At a time when champions of our First Amendment like Pamela Geller need 24/7 armed protection – just to stay alive – in America! – due to death threats from the Islamic State and other fifth-column jihadis living among us, for the SPLC to collaborate with that enemy, against our rights as American citizens freely to speak truth, is reprehensible.”

[Megyn] Kelly called SPLC “a careless organization that cares not at all about the safety of the people it condemns, nor reputations, nor the truth.”

In August 2012, 28-year-old homosexual activist Floyd Lee Corkins II attempted a mass shooting at the headquarters of the Family Research Council, a group that promotes traditional Judeo-Christian beliefs about the family and homosexuality.
Corkins said he intended to kill “as many people as I could.” He admitted he chose FRC because the organization was listed as an “anti-gay” hate group by the SPLC on its website.

A 2000 Harper’s Magazine article by Ken Silverstein reported that SPLC “spends twice as much on fund-raising – $5.76 million last year [1999] – as it does on legal services for victims of civil rights abuses.”
In 2010, Silverstein added, “The SPLC operates on the same basis today. Oh, except its treasury is now up to $175 million or so, bigger than the GNP of some of the world’s smaller nations.”
According to Charity Navigator, SPLC’s 2013 outlays fell into the following categories: program expenses, 65.4 percent; administrative expenses, 12.7 percent; and fundraising expenses, 22 percent.
Some of SPLC’s donors include the Anti-Defamation League, Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Democratic National Committee, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Hillary for America, Museum of Tolerance, United Farm Workers, United Negro College Fund, the NAACP, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, EMILY’s List.
SPLC Founder and trial lawyer Morris Dees – whose multi-million-dollar mansion is reportedly dripping with luxury – has contributed money to: John Edwards, John Kerry, Ralph Nader, Bill Clinton, Tom Harkin, Julian Bond, Ted Kennedy and Jimmy Carter.

Also in 2013, SPLC President Richard Cohen brought in $359,300.
“So what makes the SPLC the steward of those disadvantaged in our country? The SPLC is nothing less than a wealthy bunch of ambulance chasers that spew their own form of hate,” Hinners wrote on her website, DailyRollCall.com.
