Four "Hate Groups" in NM

From santafenewmexican.com - The 11th Hour Remnant Messenger is one of four hate groups in New Mexico, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.  The others include two "aggressive Christianity" or anti-Muslim groups in Berino, south of Las Cruces, and in Fence Lake, south of Gallup; and the United Northern and Southern Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, for which no locale is given.  The state with the most hate groups is California with 84, followed by Georgia with 65, Florida with 55 and Texas with 45.  The Southern Poverty Law Center, a Montgomery, Ala.-based civil-rights nonprofit founded in 1971, has listed the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan., as a hate group for years. Eleven of the new groups on the hate map were listed for anti-gay bigotry. But the law center said the largest growth in recent years has been in the Patriot movement, "which is composed of armed militias and other conspiracy-minded organizations that see the federal government as their primary enemy."  More News New Mexico
