The hate from the violent white nationalist gathering that resulted in the death of an anti-racism protester in Charlottesville, Virginia, can be found anywhere, the Southern Poverty Law Center says.

The organization identified nearly 1,000 organizations that meet its criteria for being designated a hate group are currently active nationwide. And in New Jersey, 15 hate groups — from white supremacists to anti-Muslim and black separatist organizations — are active. Hate groups are defined by the SPLC as having beliefs or practices "that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics."



Watch: The Many Symbols Of the Modern White Power Movement The SLPC website has an interactive map showing the location of what it considers hate groups state by state.

Here's where the groups are active in New Jersey:

Confederate White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Toms River: Ku Klux Klan

National Socialist Movement (statewide): Neo-Nazi

Aryan Strikeforce, Phillipsburg: Racist Skinhead

Militant Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (statewide): Ku Klux Klan

AC Skins, Atlantic City: Racist Skinhead

Micetrap Distribution, Maple Shade: Hate Music

Forza Nuova (statewide): White Nationalist

New Black Panther Party, Newark: Black Separatist, New Black Panther Party

Israel United In Christ, Newark: Black Separatist

Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ, Jersey City: Black Separatist

Nation of Islam, Plainfield: Black Separatist

Nation of Islam, New Brunswick: Black Separatist

Nation of Islam, Willingboro: Black Separatist

Nation of Islam, Camden: Black Separatist

Nation of Islam, Newark: Black Separatist The SPLC's Hate Map is searchable by hate group and state.

The group listed the Nation of Islam, it says, for these reasons:

"Since its founding in 1930, the Nation of Islam (NOI) has grown into one of the wealthiest and best-known organizations in black America, offering numerous programs and events designed to uplift African Americans. Nonetheless, its bizarre theology of innate black superiority over whites — a belief system vehemently and consistently rejected by mainstream Muslims — and the deeply racist, anti-Semitic and anti-gay rhetoric of its leaders, including top minister Louis Farrakhan, have earned the NOI a prominent position in the ranks of organized hate."

New Jersey is no stranger to hateful acts. State police identified 367 bias incident offenses for 2015, a 2 percent decrease from the previous year, according to Gannett New Jersey. Crimes targeting Muslims and Jews, however, have spiked upward, according to the report. There were 13 bias crimes reported against Muslim New Jerseyans in 2011, nine in 2012, three in 2013, four in 2014 and 14 in 2015. Jewish New Jersey residents reported the most religiously motivated bias crimes at 113, Islamic residents reported 14 and other religions reported a total of six.
