This title is rather disingenuous. The author is upset because the SLPC designates her as an "anti-Muslim extremist".
I wasn't familiar with her before, so I went looking at her Wikipedia page. And I immediately found
> In a 2007 article in Reason magazine, Hirsi Ali said that Islam, the religion, must be defeated and that "we are at war with Islam. And there's no middle ground in wars." […] She reiterated her position that the problem isn't just a few "rotten apples" in the Islamic community but "I'm saying it's the entire basket."
I don't know about you, but that sure sounds like anti-Muslim extremism.
Similarly, she brought up Brandeis University withdrawing an offer of an honorary degree. It turns out that it was withdrawn because she was accused of hate speech by multiple people and organizations, as well as Islamophobia. And so far it looks like this wasn't an unfair characterization.
I'm inclined to say that the Southern Poverty Law Center is in the right here.
