CAIR Named as a Defendant in 9/11 Terror Lawsuit
Pipes weblog ^ | Jan. 2, 2005 | Daniel Pipes

This is from a December 30 e-mail and very important - know the enemy!

CAIR Named as a Defendant in 9/11 Terror Lawsuit A class action lawsuit in the name of John P. O'Neill, Sr., stemming from the 9/11 atrocity, has named the Council on American-Islamic Relations as a defendant. (For those confused about the multiple 9/11 court cases, there is help on the way at http://www.september11terrorlitigation.com/.) Here are the paragraphs dealing with CAIR's role in the events of September 11, 2001, from the second amended class action complaint, filed today:

86. Council on American Islamic Relations and CAIR Canada (collectively, CAIR), have aided, abetted, and materially sponsored and al Qaeda and international terrorism. CAIR is an outgrowth of the Hamas front group the Islamic Association of Palestine. The FBI's former associate director in charge of Investigative and Counter-Intelligence Operations described the Islamic Association of Palestine as an organization that has directly supported Hamas military goals and is a front organization for Hamas that engages in propaganda for Islamic militants. It has produced videotapes that are very hate-filled, full of vehement propaganda. It is an organization that has supported direct confrontation.

87. CAIR and CAIR-Canada have, since their inception, been part of the criminal conspiracy of radical Islamic terrorism. These organizations play a unique role in the terrorist network. They emanate from the notorious HAMAS terrorist organization and like so many of the terrorism facilitating charities named and indicted by the United States government they are engaged in fund raising under the guise of assisting humanitarian causes they are, in reality, a key player in international terrorism. The unique role played by CAIR and CAIR-Canada is to manipulate the legal systems of the United States and Canada in a manner that allows them to silence critics, analysts, commentators, media organizations, and government officials by leveling false charges of discrimination, libel, slander and defamation. In addition, both organizations have actively sought to hamper governmental anti-terrorism efforts by direct propaganda activities aimed at police, first-responders, and intelligence agencies through so-called sensitivity training. Their goal is to create as much self-doubt, hesitation, fear of name-calling, and litigation within police departments and intelligence agencies as possible so as to render such authorities ineffective in pursuing international and domestic terrorist entities.

88. The role of CAIR and CAIR-Canada is to wage PSYOPS (psychological warfare) and disinformation activities on behalf of Whabbi-based [Wahhabi-based, DP] Islamic terrorists throughout North America. They are the intellectual "shock troops" of Islamic terrorism. In the years and months leading up to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 these organizations were very effective in helping to ensure that North American law enforcement and intelligence officials were sufficiently deaf, dumb, and blind to help pave the way for the attacks on the United States. The role played by these entities is an absolutely essential part of the mix of forces arrayed against the United States as they help soften-up targeted countries so as to facilitate and enhance the likelihood for a successful attack.

Comment: (1) This filing explicitly ties CAIR to "the criminal conspiracy of radical Islamic terrorism" that carried out 9/11, a first to the best of my knowledge.

(2) If the suit is successful, CAIR (1) will have been legally tied to Al-Qaeda and (2) will be partially responsible for damages amounting to US$100 billion.

(3) This filing, when added to Anti-CAIR's counter suit, suggest that despite CAIR's growing litigiousness, it will find itself legally more on the defensive than the offensive in coming months. (December 30, 2004)

Best news I've read this week. Thanks for the post. I'm sick and tired of CAIR suing everyone who enlightens the public about CAIR's support of Islamoterrorism.

I believe CAIR was the organization that developed the Muslim curriculum for that school district in CA -- the school district that eventually had to drop the course because of outraged parents.

I'd guess it is a money issue. Like Al Sharpton, Hooper is probably judgment proof. If I were litigating this issue, I'd attack CAIR under RICO. Once judgments were obtained against CAIR and its local chapters, I'd go after the individuals involved relying upon the RICO precedents established.

Regardless, bankrupting CAIR will defang Hooper and his ilk. Op-eds in the NY Times by them won't have the same effect as raising millions to support Islamoterrorists.

Is this John O'Neill the same former FBI agent that died in the WTC on 9/11?

I'd guess civil RICO...not criminal indictments. The latter would require the Bush Administration to declare war on TROP apologists and their MSM allies. Not likely given that the administration keeps giving lip service to the idea that Islam is a religion of peace.

CAIR uses the same MO that all other terrorist groups use. If you start screaming loud enough about racism, profiling, discrimination, libel, etc., you have the ACLU and the PC crowd coming out defending them. They manipulate the media and the politicians this way and are able to go on exporting and funding terrorism. Let's hope this lawsuit sticks.

It is also troublesome that the ACLU is always taking on causes on behalf of CAIR.

Oh, it's a civil suit and not criminal. Darn. I should have read it more closely. Got my hopes up.

Hmmmmm.... the msm missed reporting that. Every time the CAIR spokesman has been sprawled across the wide screen, the newsies failed to indicate the Hamas-CAIR connection. Deliberate deception or disingenuous reporting from the MSM?

Wasn't there a report about a year ago of the CAIR hdq in Virginia or that geographical vicinity being searched by the FBI?

Anytime CAIR can get dragged into court it is a good thing. Hopefully any publicity about what kind of organization it is will educate the public and change policy towards it and groups like it.

CAIR is a sophisticated (and very evil) branch of al Queda which seeks to use an army of lawyers and the very laws of the USA to destroy this nation (just like the ACLU). CAIR is extremely dangerous and must be defeated at all costs.

Their website is seductive and deceptive for young heads-full-of-mush muslims:
