Hate Speech Connected to Terrorism?

Hate speech is the first step in the process of de-humization. You must hate to segregate, to intentionally disadvantage; and, finally to kill. A review of over 500 websites that promote hate reveals some interesting links. And, questions?

• Why are White Supermacists adopting the term Jihad?
• What code words and symbols indicate hate?
• How are websites, forum, blogs and other e-media dissementating hate?
• Are hate sites intentionally, or unintenionally aiding terrorists?

I have posted an interesting PowerPoint Presentation - with a good primer on Hate Speech and Hate Crimes. Perhaps more importantly, it contains 80 hyperlinks to a variety of hate sites. View the PowerPoint and Surf the sites. You decide.
