Thank you Oorang.

OPINION: Speaking of fatwas, maybe the authorities will go visit “Mufti Khalid Shah” and have a little discussion with him regarding his fatwa. That would be nice.

“Charity Drops Suit Against Terrorism Analyst”
By JOSH GERSTEIN
Staff Reporter of the Sun
August 16, 2007

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “In April, Kinder USA, formally known as Kids in Need of Development, Education, and Relief, Inc., sued Matthew Levitt over a brief passage about the group in his book, “Hamas: Politics, Charity and Terrorism in the Service of Jihad.””

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “On Tuesday, Kinder USA moved to withdraw the case with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled.

“I conducted three years of careful research for Hamas, and the book was the subject of academic peer review,” Mr. Levitt said in a statement issued yesterday by the Washington Institute, which he returned to this year after a stint as a top Treasury Department official. “I am pleased that this suit has been dismissed with prejudice, vindicating my free speech rights.”

In the passage that led to the suit, Mr. Levitt wrote: “Even after the closure of the Holy Land Foundation in 2001, other America-based charities continue to fund Hamas. One organization that has appeared to rise out of the ashes of the HLFRD is Kinder USA.””
