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)

LIFE IS GOOD
CAIR should be bankrupted under the RICO statue as should their twin accomplice, the Anti-Christ Lunatic's Union.
Viewing the facts alleged in a light most favorable to the plaintiffs, the motions will be denied. This goes to a jury.
Rubbish. If they don't allege ties to Al Queda, it goes on a motion to dismiss. If they do allege these ties, they don't have evidence to back it up and lose on summary judgment. Go back to law school.
A khalerye. The personal attack was unwarranted. Unless you plan on starting a flame fest, quit violating FR rules.
Unlike the ALCU, Al-Qaeda doesn't hand out membership cards to its affiliates. We do know that Hamas is tied to Al-Qaeda and CAIR has been a primary promoter of the objectives of Hamas within the U.S., both politically and financially. If this is a civil RICO attack, we're looking at the actions of all of the spokes on the conspiracy wheel, i.e. the plaintiffs' burden is easier. The judge might bounce the action but it isn't the slam dunk you portray on CAIR's behalf. To the contrary, what is alleged has a good chance of making it to a jury.
BTTT
About time...
I know there's atleast a dozen more groups that need their feet held to the fire as well...
And to think they are continuing their fundraising to support operations around the world is still going on...
hmmmmmm...
FOX had some "ex-CAIR" moslem guy on this AM who was talking about his new ".org" that's raising money for the Tesumani victims. Supposedly his whole family was wiped out. At least that's what he said.
