A Web site operated by the Alabama Department of Homeland Security identified gay rights organizations and anti-abortion groups among those that could include terrorists.
That Web site has been removed from the Internet after the agency received complaints about the site.
It had listed different types of terrorists, including "single issue terrorists," which it said can come from groups that rally behind specific causes.
Those listed as possibly spawning terrorists:
Environmentalists.
Anti-genetic activists.
Animal rights advocates.
Opponents of abortion.
Anti-war activists.
Gay rights supporters.
Well at least they got the "Opponents of abortion" part right....

Alabama Dept. of Homeland Security Plans to Replace Web Page Without Identifying Groups
MONTGOMERY, Ala., May 27, 2007 —
A Web site operated by the Alabama Department of Homeland Security identified gay rights organizations and anti-abortion groups among those that could include terrorists.
That Web site has been removed from the Internet after the agency received complaints about the site.
It had listed different types of terrorists, including "single issue terrorists," which it said can come from groups that rally behind specific causes.
Those listed as possibly spawning terrorists:
Environmentalists.
Anti-genetic activists.
Animal rights advocates.
Opponents of abortion.
Anti-war activists.
Gay rights supporters.
The department's director, Jim Walker, says his agency received a number of calls and e-mails from people who said they felt the Web site unfairly targeted certain people just because of their beliefs.
