The Southern Poverty Law Center is full of crap, but they’re rarely held accountable for it. So this is pretty nice to see:

Congratulations, Maajid Nawaz!
Clearly not. Nor should you. The SPLC has gotten away with this crap for too long. Enough is enough.
Our website appears to have crashed due to traffic. Don’t worry. It’s all true. This ain’t no dream. We won #Solidarity ??

Well done @MaajidNawaz. The SPLC behaved disgracefully and I salute your courage in taking on such a powerful organisation. https://t.co/nzsFmQgAAg

Congrats. Hopefully SPLC smartens up a bit now.

Now that the SPLC has issued this apology, is it too much to hope that they’ll apologize to the many others they’ve slimed?

They have a few other apologies to give as well.

No kidding.
Congrats Maajid! Now @Ayaan !!

Any apology to @Ayaan?
— Michael A. Lowry (@mlowry) June 18, 2018
Now time for SPLC to apologize to @Ayaan and they need to make it right for the pain they caused
