http://www.newsweek.com/splc-nawaz-million-apologizes-981879 Honestly, kind of pathetic. For one thing, there isn't a chance in hell that the lawsuit would have held up in court; calling someone "an anti-Muslim extremist" is a statement of opinion, as opposed to a statement of fact. Under US law that isn't enough to get it into the courtroom. Nawaz and his whacky Uncle Tom-brand of Muslim "Reform" is deeply rooted in Islamophobia which is why he is a favorite "authentic" Muslim voice among neocons. Not sure where you draw the line at "extremist" but I'd certainly call him a bigot and an opportunist. Amith R.
