‘Draw Mohammed’ Contest Winner Will Be Added to SPLC ‘Hate’ List

Posted on Comments

Attacked by Islamic terrorists and listed by the SPLC:

Bosch Fawstin, a former Muslim who won the Muhammad cartoon contest at the Texas free speech event attacked by two gunmen Sunday, will soon be added to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) list of hate groups.
Mr. Fawstin won $12,500 in prize money at the event, sponsored by Pamela Geller’s American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), for a drawing that showed a sword-wielding prophet in a turban shouting, “You can’t draw me.” In reply, a cartoon bubble portrayed the artist as writing, “That’s why I draw you,” Reuters reported.
The SPLC, which already includes AFDI on its annual list of U.S. hate groups, plans to add the artist to its 2016 report, Heidi Beirich, who leads SPLC’s Intelligence Project, told Reuters on Monday.
Ms. Beirich said Mr. Fawstin would have been listed before Sunday’s attack, but the center did not know his location. The organization has since learned that his website is registered in New York City, Reuters reported.
“He’s like the artist of the movement,” Mr. Beirich said, calling his website “virulently ugly.”
“His views, they are hate views,” she added.

Much like being sued by Brett Kimberlin, having your name on the SPLC’s hate list is becoming a badge of honor.

  1. “The Southern Poverty Law Center monitors hate groups and other
    extremists throughout the United States and exposes their activities to
    law enforcement agencies, the media and the public. We publish our
    investigative findings online, on our Hatewatch blog, and in the Intelligence Report,
    our award-winning quarterly journal. We’ve crippled some of the
    country’s most notorious hate groups by suing them for murders and other
    violent acts committed by their members.

    Currently, there are 784 known hate groups operating across the country, including neo-Nazis, Klansmen, white nationalists, neo-Confederates, racist skinheads, black separatists, border vigilantes and others.” And Dr. Ben Carson. He was rather hastily removed after being listed on their extremist files in Oct. 2014. LOL

  2. SPLC reminds me of the two rightwing Schenectady greengrocers who actually DID run the Hollywood blacklist.

  4. The man qualifies for his own Wikipedia page. He didn’t currently have one so I made a stub. I wonder how long it will take before the first attempt at deletion happens?

  5. I don’t wish it on anybody either, but I’ve reached a point lately where I know that people are going to make stupid decisions, they won’t listen to reason, and so be it. It takes an act of God to come to Him (John 6:44), and who am I to question the will of the Lord? We knew there would come a time when He would give people over to their own deception, and maybe that time is now. Or if not now, then it fast approaches.

    Scottish pastor Richard Cameron: “It is the Lord’s will and good is the will of the Lord; He has never wronged me.”

  6. Somehow, I ended up on the SPLC mailing list and they send me prepaid envelopes so I can make a donation. I send them little notes about how happy I am to waste their money. And truly, it makes me very happy

  9. Not long. Wiki is nothing if not a consistent source of leftard lies. Only those things that are not controversial can be given a modicum of trust, but you’d better verify. They would even let Jerry Pournelle correct an entry on his Doctoral Dissertation without changing it within minutes.

  11. John 6:44 is true, but the interpretation in context is often lacking. Calvinists normally take it as being something determined from eternity past, which does not mesh with the rest of scripture. God knows who will respond to the Gospel, but people get a chance, and if they reject because they are scoffers, or don’t want to accept the “great spaghetti god in the sky” then they can forget it. The wooing of the Holy Spirit will no effect.

  12. You know what is really offensive. Dogs. Muslims hate dogs. Its in the Koran that they are unclean. I think that disseminating that piece of information could be very helpful with the leftist. The trouble is getting them to believe it. Its like they are all putting their fingers in their ears and singing lalalalalalala

  16. So, howze about this – drinking beer, with his dog at his feet in a topless bar and live music.

  20. Is it okay to just say the Southern Poverty Law Center has shown themselves to be the biggest fucking hate group I have ever seen?

    Yeah, call Bosch Fawstin a hater, not the mutherfuckers who will fucking kill you over a goddamn cartoon.

    Every fucking member of the SPLC is 100% welcome to eat a Texas-sized bag of shit. With Floyd Corkins on the label.

  27. 1.) Muslims shoot at people.
    2.) The SPLC lists those people as evil.

    We’re only one small step away from flip-flopping the order of those events and then we can call the Muslims the SPLC’s “muscle.”

  28. So, in hopes of inspiring someone at the next contest, we have the happy Prophet drinking beer at a topless gay bar with his dog at his feet and eating a ham sandwich. That about cover it all?

  29. I wonder why Andres Serrano, the “artist” responsible for Piss Christ, was never added to the SPLC Hate List. Such a mystery.

  32. Wait. So you’re telling me the guy running SPLC is some rich white liberal? I’m shocked.

  33. Alphabet soup in these lines
    We need a GOP that will fight
    No justice, no peace
    Until the SPLC
    Sees a RICO case
    From the DoJ

  35. SPLC shows once again how utterly shameless and despicable they have become. SPLC was once an honorable organization. Those days are long gone. Fawstin is a perfectly decent and honorable former Muslim, most of whose relatives are still Muslim. Does he hate his own relatives? Of course not. It’s not the ex-Muslims who reject their own relatives do to difference of opinion – it’s always the other way around.

  36. This is really odd but the SPLC has been on my “hate list” for decades.

    Wouldn’t it be ironic if some right-wing, crypto-fascist, Bible-thumping, gun-totting nut bag showed up in their office with a bag full of organic granola some day….

  44. Usually the vultures would have tried a takedown already. It’s still up with only one minor quibble so far (citation related) that was easily fixed.

  47. Okay, even without your avatar we can tell you’re white.

    Painfully so, in fact. Get some SPF-100.
