Ayaan propagated anti Muslim hate. SPLC should have stood their ground and provided evidence they refer to for their stance. They didn't have to settle.

No ground to stand on. Really glad for Maajid that they can’t defame him anymore.

I have sympathy for Maajid, and little for the SPLC, BUT — this piece is worth reading and gives me pause.https://twitter.com/popehat/status/1008750229623996416?s=21 …

Thanks for sharing. It does seem like in this case libel was pretty clearly proven. Free speech (written in this case) isn’t universally protected against libel or yelling fire in a crowded theatre and that seems like a good limit to me.

I totally agree. Maajid was defamed, in a way that could have threatened his life. If you don't want to be sued, don't defame people, and then you can have all the free speech in the world. Really, for the free speech argument to be trotted out here...pretty weak.

This is refreshing news. Thank you Maajid, Sam, Ayaan for continuing to stand for what is right.

Ayaan with her support for the hideous government of Trump doesn't stand for what is right.

I feel like this is the first regressive left stronghold to admit defeat/change their tune. It's like Kanye's Candice moment, a watershed of sorts.

Who are they paying 3.3 million dollars to? This was a scam to get money out of them just because you don't like someone's opinion doesn't mean it's wrong
-
It's a crime when that opinion is knowingly factually incorrect (i.e. a lie) and when sharing that opinion harms your reputation to the point of damaging your ability to work in your chosen field. It's called defamation. Look it up.

In the circles that he is in the so-called intellectual dark web them calling him islamophobe would be a badge of honor
