Maajid Nawaz

Maajid Nawaz is a British Muslim reformer and co-founder of the Quilliam Foundation, an organization dedicated to combating Islamist extremism. Previously labeled an 'anti-Muslim extremist' by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), Nawaz has been a vocal critic of the organization, arguing that it engages in corrupt practices. He gained notoriety for winning a defamation lawsuit against the SPLC, where he was awarded a $3.375 million settlement and a public apology. His recent comments have emphasized the SPLC's alleged funding of extremist groups.
