Truth is an absolute defense in a libel case.

CAIR has no chance to win this one.

Go to the website for all sorts of good information, especially concerning the ongoing lawsuit, the counter-suit and the "items" that CAIR has dropped from it's lawsuit.

That's what I was worried about. Senator Jeremiah Denton is a great patriot. Hate to see the name besmirched.

"I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future," Hooper told the paper.

Jeez Louise. They admit it right therew. WHAT DON'T PEOPLE UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS??!!!??I breezed through the article, but does it say exactly what part CAIR says is wrong? The Hamas stuff? Rrr-ii-gg-hh-tttt.

Boy, wouldn't be nice if someone like Ann Coulter or Mark Levin would take the case?

Said the lawyer, with an happy smile, "Time for the Endoscope of Justice".

Come to think of it, that's the tag line of a med student on FR. What a team that would be, a FReeper lawyer and a female meddie wielding the "Endoscope of Justice", hopefully a very early Mark One model.

If you want to take a look at the portions of the complaint as filed and as amended where it outlines the *libelous* statements, here's a link: http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/006847.php


BTW, I like your tagline.

It is interesting what CAIR dropped from the lawsuit. This post quotes a 1-1/2 year old article. FrontPage has an update to the lawsuit here, including the following:

Why did CAIR drastically reduce its claims versus Whitehead?

It might have to do with Whitehead, admirably represented by Reed Rubinstein of Greenberg Traurig LLP, having responded to CAIR’s lawsuit with an extensive and well informed set of discovery requests and documents. These filings perhaps established for CAIR the depth of Whitehead’s knowledge and the soundness of his opinions. If so, then CAIR’s leadership concluded that the bulk of its case against Whitehead would collapse in court.

CAIR’s filing an amended motion has two apparent implications: that CAIR has tacitly acknowledges the truth of Whitehead’s deleted assertions; and those assertions can now be repeated with legal impunity.

We list here the key statements that CAIR no longer deems legally improper, followed by some speculations as to why it might have decided not to contest them in court.

· [CAIR is an] organization founded by Hamas supporters….
· CAIR was started by Hamas members….
· CAIR … was founded by Islamic terrorists.

For some really interesting reading, see Whitehead's counter suit against CAIR. The allegations, which correspond to my memory as far as that goes, are an astounding indictment against CAIR. In fact, rather than a counter suit in a civil trial, if it is all accurate maybe it ought to be an indictment in a criminal trial. Where is the FBI on this?

Michelle Malkin has a good posting on Michael Graham.....would you have that link!

They will use our freedoms and our laws against us. They will silence us in the courts when they can and on the streets if they must. Their stated goal is to make Islam the dominant religion of the world and Sharia the law of the land in the United States.

[armymarinemom]

Interesting that CAIR can say just about anything they want without being questioned?

[js1138]

I suspect this will get a lot of people stirred up, and be completely counterproductive. Win/Win.

I love your tagline.

Omar Ahamad
Co-Founder of CAIR

"Those who stay in America should be open to society without melting, keeping Mosques open so anyone can come and learn about Islam. If you choose to live here, you have a responsibility to deliver the message of Islam ... Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." - Omar Ahmad

I'm very familiar with it.

I'm glad you posted it.

[Fred Nerks]

thanks for the ping.

Get a loadda' this. This is a great opportunity! This should be high profile and on all the news networks, sent to Rush and Hannity and Elder and Coulter, et. al.

Anybody who is anybody in the Middle East studies community should be making every effort to get in on this and support the counter-suit!

The link to the current legal documents is halfway down the Anti-CAIR main page.

ACAIR needs a couple of good junkyard dog Jewish lawyers!

Unfortunately most of them are liberal @$$#*les.

ACAIR should get the lawyer who successfully defended Deborah Lipstadt against the Holocaust-denying scum David Irving.

The purpose of these lawsuits is not to win, but to wear down the critics with endless depositions, court costs, filing fees, attorney fees. CAIR has unlimited funds from the Wahabi Lobby.
