Over the weekend, rallies were held across the country protesting a perceived threat that Sharia law was having a growing influence in American politics.
The rallies, dubbed March Against Sharia, were organized by the group, ACT for America, which has been labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. One of these rallies was held at the site of the 2015 terror attack in San Bernardino, and police were forced to separate rally attendees and counter protesters
Brian Levin, Director of Center for the Study of Hate & Extremism at Cal State San Bernardino attended that event and talked to A Martinez about it.
