abstract | - The most extreme examples of Hate Groups would be those we have come to know as terrorists, such as Al Qaeda & the Islamic State- as well as outlawed groups such as the Ku Klux Klan: these groups engage in exceptionally violent acts and as such are under constant monitoring by authorities as high up as the military (in the case of terrorist groups) and organizations such as the FBI or CIA (for outlawed groups). However a great many groups classed as Hate Groups are not outlawed, this makes it extremely difficult to deal with them and the topic is controversial as such groups have a right to exist under freedom of speech: yet many of these groups have been involved in violence or at the least have supported the use of such and for this reason they are often targeted by authorities and public alike, who push for them to be outlawed.
