Brian Levin, founding director of CSUSB’s Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism, was interviewed for an article about the increase in hate crimes targeting Muslims. Levin noted that anti-Muslim hate crimes have surged in recent years, even as the number of hate groups has dwindled.
That's because hatred has found a new home in the mainstream, rendering niche groups such as Islamophobic outfits increasingly obsolete, he said.
