"The number of hate groups in the U.S. has grown each year for the past 11 years, according to a new report from the Southern Poverty Law Center. In 2000 the center reported that there were 602 hate groups; in 2011 that number had climbed to 1,018.
Anti-Muslim hate groups tripled from 10 to 30 last year, and anti-gay hate groups increased from 17 to 27.
Potok attributes the rise in anti-Muslim groups to the debate over the ground zero mosque in 2010 and to “opportunistic politicians and activists.”
“It was a completely artificial thing,” Potok said. “That anti-Muslim wave is the work of propogandists and nothing more.”
In regards to the rise in anti-gay groups, Potok believes it is likely the result of desperation that public opinion is not on their side."
