Anti-FGM activism and and reformist Islam have both been labelled hate speech according the SPLC:

While Twitter bans criticism of the left using the NPC meme, @dbwrf, a pro (yes they exist) FGM group is not only still up but also running a Twitter ad campaign supporting FGM.

That story just illustrates how insane things have gotten.

Maajid goes "hey I'm a member of this group, I want to improve our culture/religion" and is labeled an extremist.

Meanwhile others from this group are raping children and the only thing that is said is "oh it's their culture, don't be so racist".

Blows your goddamn mind.
