The legal proceedings, Pipes noted in a FrontPage Magazine column, open CAIR to the discovery process.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I would contribute to a defense fund.

[SAJ]

GMTA, exactly what popped into my head. CAIR must be bloody stupid to try this, because discovery these days knows no practical limits. Hope these filth are ready for a really first-class and way past due colonoscopy.

And this may be the main reason Michael Graham was fired from WMAL630 AM in Washington, DC.

This Michael Graham issue shows how much influence Islam has on the media. This goes way beyond political correctness, this is becoming a confrontation on several fronts: judicial, military, political, and religious. Michelle Malkin has a good posting on Michael Graham.

CAIR is an "organization founded by Hamas supporters which seeks to overthrow Constitutional government in the United States and replace it with an Islamist theocracy using our own Constitution as protection."

Using the ACLU model for it's approach.

After the next "9/11" event in this Country is proven to have been tied to "American arabs", there will be such a citizen revolt against the muslins living here, that they won't be able to get out quick enough. We have been patiently waiting for the muslims to clean up their own mess, but if it doesn't happen, the American people will clean it up for them. It will get ugly and many "innocent" muslims will get caught in the middle but in the paraphrased words of GWB, "You are either with us or against us". The members of cair are clearly in the latter group.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations has filed a $1.35 million lawsuit against the founder of a website that accuses the controversial lobby group of supporting terrorism.

Idiots. They've now opened themselves up to discovery. They would have been much smarter to just whine in the media (who loves them) and threaten legal action.

CAIR attorney Jeremiah A. Denton III

This wouldn't happen to be the son of Adm. Jeremiah A. Denton, Jr., the former Senator and VN POW?

[capt. norm]

Let it go to court. I'm not so sure that CAIR really wants to open up its records, etc. for the discovery process.

[mlc9852]

If the Patriot Act meant anything, they would have had to open their records a few years ago.

CAIR attorney Jeremiah A. Denton III

Somebody please tell me this guy's no connection to the Jeremiah Denton of Vietnam.

[Texas_Conservative2]

I'd counter sue for 1 billion.

I agree. Despite the media, CAIR, the ACLU, and our political elites, the American citizens are not buying the line that muslims are not responsible and not connected with the terrorists. If or when another 9/11 occurs, I seriously doubt that there will be enough politic ans and lawyers to protect members of the religion of peace from the American citizens, especially when they know that the government has done absolutely nothing concrete to prevent these attacks.
We can only hope that the ACLU type try to act as human shields to protect the muslims.

[aShepard]

Sounds like ACAIR needs a couple of good junkyard dog Jewish lawyers!

[LoudRepublicangirl]

I think we are going to have to have a rebellion in this country before we will ever get leaders in washington that are intelligent enough to follow that axiom.


I think you are right. That is why we must fight to keep our right to own firearms. I believe we will be fighting in the streets of this country within the next 10 years.

[Gritty]

CAIR is using US laws and intimidation to shut down any criticism of it. Imagine how the Nazi Party in 1942 or the Communist Party in 1950 would have fared with a stunt like this?

Unfortunately, these days our enemies have the ACLU, the MSM, oodles of money, the Liberals and plenty of judges in their pocket. And they are attacking a nearly penniless retired navy veteran with battlions of lawyers.

It's getting to the point we can forget about lawyers. What we will need are plenty of boxes of good stout ropes.

[Edward Watson]

Hmmm. It seems CAIR is following the footsteps of Scientology by using lawsuits and the threats of such as means to silence its critics.

Well, at least it's still better than the other Muslim groups that will behead (or murder in other ways) their critics.

[Edward Watson]

Anyone know how to get the ACLU involved on the side of ACAIR? After all, this is a clear violation of everything they stand for. Also, someone should tell them the owner of ACAIR is a flaming leftist liberal so they'll rush over to help. (I actually have no idea)

Hahaha.

[ZULU]

The problem isn't so much with CAIR in this instance as with a legal system that panders to these fanatics, as well as pedophiles and other vermin.

[tkathy]

Maybe he could sue CAIR for about $800 million.
