American Security Rally of Montana

{{uspolitics}}{{islamophobia}}
The '''American Security Rally of Montana''' is an ill-informed, anti-immigration, [[Islamophobia|anti-Muslim]] hate group. On their website, they claim "This page is for the discussion of the Security of the [[United States]]. This page exists for no other reason." However, it takes very little investigation and research to determine that this [[Facebook]] page<ref>https://www.facebook.com/1amer2secur/?fref=ts</ref> isn't merely the "Patriot" movement they convey themselves to be.

==Background==
Founded in February 2016 as a likely response to possible [[Syrian]] refugee resettlement in [[Montana]],<ref>http://www.kulr8.com/story/31512462/refugee-resettlement-agency-will-return-to-montana</ref> the American Security Rally of Montana holds anti-refugee rallies and protests.<ref>http://missoulian.com/news/local/anti-refugee-protesters-at-missoula-rally-decry-government-sponsored-invasion/article_acc991ee-0906-5f7c-887c-05848d807b12.html</ref> It also coordinates with other hate groups in Montana, including [[Citizens for a Better Helena]], Montana Citizens Against Terrorism both Foreign and Domestic, and Montana Citizens Against Refugee Resettlement.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/antisoftlanding/?fref=ts</ref>

==Race and hate content==
Very similar to the content shared by nearby [[Islamophobia|anti-Islam]] hate groups, the majority of the content that the American Security Rally of Montana shares and promotes is usually directly tied to nationally recognized hate groups or nationally recognized [[extremist]]s.<ref>http://imgur.com/a/fpiQz</ref> Other articles and information encompass [[tabloids]], [[conspiracy]] websites,<ref>http://imgur.com/sePBOsL</ref> racist blogs, and the occasional credible news source with [[scare quotes]].

Refugee Resettlement Watch,<ref>http://imgur.com/UavYJWq</ref> founded by extremist Ann Corcoran,<ref>https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2015/07/13/lauded-racist-groups-refugee-resettlement-watch-founder-ann-corcoran-moves-further-right</ref> is a popular figure among [[white nationalist]] and [[racist]] websites and blogs. Racist groups that regularly share Corcoran’s work include the white nationalist group "Council for Conservative Citizens" and racist website [[VDARE]].

[[Pamela Geller]]<ref>http://i.imgur.com/XpgfSAF.jpg</ref> is yet another prominent extremist and figurehead of anti-Islam ideologists. Her website has been the source of many debunked conspiracy theories,<ref>https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/pamela-geller</ref> ranging from "[[Obama]] is a Muslim beholden to Islamic overlords” to "Obama is the love child of [[Malcolm X]]".

Front Page Magazine,<ref>https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2014/godfather</ref> founded by anti-black and anti-Muslim neoconservative conspiracy theorist, [[David Horowitz]], is another common source of hatemonger citations. Horowitz is often touted by the racist and [[white supremacist]] communities.

[[Gina Satterfield]], anti-Islam and [[wingnut]] extremist. [[Hate speech]] content by Gina is being touted all over Montana's racist and anti-immigration online community

ACT! For America,<ref>https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2015/acting-out</ref> a prominent anti-Islam movement and source of extreme hate speech. ACT! For America is led by Bridgette Gabriel, described by the [[New York Times]] as a "radical Islamaphobe" and by publicists as "extreme". Gabriel’s hate lies against the religion of Islam itself, not just "radical" Islam.

[[Ann Coulter]],<ref>https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2015/06/30/ann-coulter-cites-white-nationalists-anti-muslim-activists-and-other-racists-new-book</ref> questionably white supremacist author who cites anti-Muslims, white nationalists, and other racists in her publications.

[[Oath Keepers]],<ref>https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2013/07/25/oath-keepers-rally-reveals-radical-politics-group</ref> a right-wing extremist group set to defend the United States from the [[liberals]] and their "[[New World Order]]". Founded by Stewart Rhodes, many Oath Keepers even defended a member of theirs as a victim of a government conspiracy to silence the Patirots, before that member was convicted of [[Rape|raping]] his 7-year old daughter.<ref>https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2011/08/25/ex-marine-and-fugitive-tied-oath-keepers-arrested</ref>
