Legal Victory Against CAIR and the South Florida Jihad..
How this author shut down the Florida Muslim Conference and defeated their lawsuit. June 3, 2025. By Joe Kaufman.
In a major win for national security and free speech, this author has successfully defeated a federal lawsuit filed by the South Florida Muslim Federation (SFMF), the Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and the Muslim Legal Fund of America (MLFA). The lawsuit stemmed from this author’s lead role in exposing and ultimately shutting down the 2024 Florida Muslim Conference.
This legal victory is not merely a personal triumph – it is a critical win in the broader struggle against the infiltration of jihadist ideology into American civil society. It reaffirms the right of individuals and communities to speak out against Muslim extremism, even in the face of coordinated legal retaliation.
Exposing the Extremism Behind the Florida Muslim Conference.
The 2024 conference, organized by SFMF, titled “Lighting the Path,” was originally scheduled for January 2024 at the Fort Lauderdale Marriott Coral Springs Hotel & Convention Center. On the surface, it was presented as a family-friendly Muslim community event. In reality, it served as a platform for individuals and groups with deeply troubling histories of support for terrorism, antisemitism, and other radical activities.
This author conducted an exhaustive investigation into the backgrounds of the event’s organizers and speakers, all laid out in a scathing article published by the Middle East Forum’s (MEF) Focus on Western Islamism....

Council On American-Islamic Relations.
The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) is an “Islamic advocacy group,” based in Washington, D.C. that describes itself as a “nonprofit, grassroots civil rights and advocacy organization” and “America’s largest Muslim civil liberties organization.”
While the group’s stated mission is to “enhance understanding of Islam, protect civil rights, promote justice, and empower American Muslims,” the group lobbies on national, state, and chapter levels for various anti-Israel initiatives.
CAIR regularly issues “action alerts,” encouraging readers to send prepared letters to United States Members of Congress on various issues and pieces of legislation. The group also puts out press releases, writes op-eds and offers speakers as well as videos and studies meant to be used by the media.
As part of its activities, the group has fought against the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act (AAA), promoted the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, demonized Israel, and attempted to diminish American support for Israel.
CAIR has also partnered with a wide variety of other anti-Israel groups, including Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and American Muslims for Palestine (AMP).
The group was founded “in 1994 by several leaders of the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), a now-defunct organization that was once described by the U.S. government as part of ‘Hamas’ propaganda apparatus.”
Many of CAIR’s leaders have also expressed hatred of Israel and Zionism.
In November 2014, CAIR, along with the Muslim American Society (MAS), was reportedly listed as a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Why the Anti-Israel Movement Loves Hitler.
July 16, 2025.
https://canarymission.org/campaign/Why_The_Antiisrael_Movement_Loves_Hitler
Thugee was an Indian religion that practiced theft and human sacrifice. The Mayans and Azetecs had religions that practiced Human Sacrifice as part of their Religion. The Druids of Britain practiced human sacrifice burning people alive in large wicker cages shaped like a Man. (Memorialized by the modern "Burning Man" Festival.)
Muslims are allowed entry because they are a "religion." In fact they are an Arabic based criminal imperialist enterprise that utilizes a god-prophet myth and heavy handed reward punishment system. They believe in Sin and a God and Damnation, and one of the Highest forms of Atonement for a sinful Muslim is to Die in the act of jihad in which they Kill Non Believers to obtain Forgiveness and to enter the Islamic Heaven.
Understood correctly, this must be viewed as an act of human sacrifice of the non believer and self. This can be directed at any Westerner who does not believe at any time. This is something that probably should be emphasized as a reason for their exclusion from immigration, that the un-changable teachings of Islam provides religious approval for the murder of western existing citizens. We understand this and its implications, but Democrats and Liberals will not.
CAIR will, of course, sue.
I look forward to discovery!
The real question is how to stop them, a law doesn’t mean a rats a$$ to the muslims, that Haji Mayor in Dearborn has said that assimilation is meaningless to them and don’t care about any melting pot. Next move?
It doesn’t matter if liberals/Demoncrats understand the danger of Islam or not. They’re a minority, getting smaller every day. The only reason they win elections is due to theft; that is why they hate Voter ID, they need fake voters and non-citizen voters to win anywhere.
Islam is an ideology of war and conquest, it’s that simple.
L.J., and this is true!
Europe is surrending to Islam. Other than a few countries like Hungary and Poland. Don’t know about Italy, might by okay.
