Since the early aughts, FSM has served as a mouthpiece for anti-Muslim and far-right figures, giving them a web platform to promote their ideas as well as amplifying conspiracy theories cultivated in the greater anti-Muslim movement 鈥� all in the name of 鈥渘ational security.鈥�

Founded in 2003, FSM originally worked in close partnership with Frank Gaffney鈥檚 Center for Security Policy (CSP). In the early years, FSM was essentially a de facto arm of CSP, another anti-Muslim hate group, disseminating the group鈥檚 material and ideas to a broader audience. CSP specifically hoped to use FSM to reach the then-burgeoning 鈥溾�� demographic 鈥� a women鈥檚 movement focused on national security that was born in the post-9/11 era.

At the time, FSM鈥檚 founder and longtime leader Carol Taber was a in 鈥渟ecurity mom鈥� circles. Taber admitted to being inspired by Gaffney鈥檚 work and the two recognized a mutually beneficial partnership. Taber and Gaffney also most certainly found in racist 鈥渂irther鈥� conspiracy theories about President Barack Obama. In 2005, FSM became its own independent entity, however, the rhetoric promoted by the group remained the same.

鈥淲e've had an absolutely fantastic run,鈥� the FSM staff wrote on its farewell , 鈥渨e have met important, committed and consequential people in this fight to preserve western civilization.鈥�

Over the years, FSM has published thousands of articles from dozens of authors. Some of which being from well-established anti-Muslim luminaries like Brigitte Gabriel, Ryan Mauro, Robert Spencer and Clare Lopez. All of whom used the platform to promote everything from about Muslims in America to for racial and religious profiling.

In a 2015 , Daniel Greenfield, an employee of the David Horowitz Freedom Center and a frequent FSM , wrote, 鈥淭rump isn't a threat to national security. Muslim immigration is.鈥�

FSM has also featured work from lesser known contributors. The rhetoric from these authors, however, has been no less deplorable.

One of the contributors over the years has been , a former government relations executive and two-time U.S. electoral college member. In a 2016 , Hollrah wrote, 鈥淔ighting and attacking others with knives and other sharp objects appears to be in the Muslim DNA.鈥�

In 2007, Philip Atkinson, another FSM contributor, , 鈥淭he wisest course would have been for President Bush to use his nuclear weapons to slaughter Iraqis until they complied with his demands, or until they were all dead.鈥�

FSM has also featured the writings of white nationalist Robert Weissberg, an emeritus professor of political science at the University of Illinois. Weissberg is a regular speaker at white nationalist events, including the annual American Renaissance and H.L. Mencken Club conferences. Rhetoric that would be popular at such conferences was prevalent in Weissberg鈥檚 articles at FSM. In a 2009 , he engaged in demographic alarmism, lamenting that 鈥淲estern civilization is slowly disappearing as better educated people fail to reproduce themselves.鈥�

鈥淚n much of Western Europe,鈥� Weissberg added, 鈥渢he fertility rate is less than 1.40 and this low figure already includes impoverished, large-family immigrants from Muslim nations who seem unwilling or unable to assimilate into the prevailing First World culture (and some who wish to destroy it altogether).鈥�

Now, more than a decade after the 鈥渟ecurity mom鈥� first appeared on the scene, FSM is closing up shop.

鈥淏ut for now, it's time for the next generation to step up to the plate,鈥� FSM staff concluded their goodbye blog. 鈥淎nd we welcome their arrival with open arms.鈥�
