CAIR is at war with the authors of Muslim Mafia, because they tell the truth about the organization. "Judge rules against CAIR: D.C.-based Islamic group trying to quash book exposing terror ties," by Art Moore for WorldNetDaily, January 9 (thanks to Doug):
A federal judge ruled against the Council on American-Islamic Relations today in its lawsuit against a father and son who carried out a six-month undercover investigation of the D.C.-based Muslim group, denying a request to conduct discovery - an examination of its opponent's witnesses, facts and documents - prior to hearing a motion to dismiss the case.CAIR is suing P. David Gaubatz and his son, Chris Gaubatz, for allegedly stealing sensitive internal documents and making recordings of officials without consent. Chris Gaubatz, who posed as a Muslim in an internship with CAIR's national office in Washington, took some 12,000 pages of documents destined for a shredder in an attempt, he said, to expose the group's ties to Islamic jihad and terrorism. His father is a former Air Force special agent with extensive Middle East experience who researches the spread of radical Islam in the U.S. and its threat to national security.
In her ruling today, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., canceled a court hearing scheduled for Tuesday and gave CAIR until Jan. 15 to reply to the Gaubatz's motion to dismiss the case.
The motion filed last month by Gaubatz lawyer Daniel Horowitz asserts CAIR has no claim because it does not legally exist.
Horowitz explains that just two weeks after CAIR was named by the Justice Department in May 2007 as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorist finance case in U.S. history, the organization changed its name to the Council on American-Islamic Relations Action Network.
"CAIR is not a valid entity and even if it were, the exposure of its inner workings is part of the price it pays for being a controversial group in a hotly contested arena," Horowitz declares in his reply to CAIR's lawsuit.
The FBI produced evidence at the trial of the Texas-based Holy Land Foundation in 2008 that CAIR was established as a front for the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
The material obtained by the Gaubatzes is featured in the book "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America," published by WND Books, an affiliate of WorldNetDaily.com. The book asserts CAIR is acting as a front for a conspiracy of the Muslim Brotherhood - the parent of al-Qaida and Hamas - to infiltrate the U.S. and help pave the way for Saudi-style Islamic law to rule the nation.
Horowitz said CAIR had hoped to draw WND Books into the legal battle so it could pull the book off the shelves. But the federal judge's ruling today prevents the group from any legal investigation of the Gabautzes or WND Books under the court's authority before the motion to dismiss the case is heard....
CAIR? Oh, are they still around?
I'll bet Dougie and his cohorts never saw this existential crisis coming...
I love the smell of roasted arrogance in the morning.
CAIR is taking a beating on a number of fronts...It won't be able to hide behind a name change for long...Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys...
They must be getting some heavy funding from somewhere in order to stay in the game. A wild theory... I wonder where some of'that'is coming from? Stimulus maybe? They do employ Mahoundians, and would like to expand their business and hire more. It's all about 'jobs'... A lot of that money went out to non existent destinations...Some of it may have landed on CAIRAN. (Another way to write that is CA-IRAN). Another wild guess is that Rasool Obama may be quietly sympathetic toward CA-IRAN...Maybe He thinks they do good in representing Islamic interests in the US, and entitled to funding with taxpayers money...I admit these are only theories and guesses, but I kind of like them...Rasool Obama works in strange and mysterious ways...Mostly strange and mysterious...
A tinge of logic and sanity (at last) to make me smile. Made my day..Thanks Robert!
Awww Judge do you realise that you hurt the feelings of Abe and you know what happens when you hurt hammas feelings.
The UN OIC mutts get involved.
Yes, they are still around and causing trouble. Their hypersensitivity to this book is pretty much indicative of that. The only problem is that they have really been overdoing it lately. Even the Obama Administration might eventually consider their interference to be too problematic for them under the present circumstances. CAIR's big problem is that it is not selective in what it takes on, and the result is that it stirs too many things up at once. Also, Mr. Hooper, their most prominent spokesman, comes across more and more as an extremist idiot during interviews, with the O'Reilly Factor only being the most recent example. He was reduced to claiming that Muslim feelings and convenience trumped a bunch of dead bodies. I have a feeling that even Mr. Hooper, without admitting it, was a bit uncomfortable with the CAIR stance on airport security. Such pronouncements will only bring on even more unwelcome scrutiny.
Where do they think they are, Pakistan? Or the Netherlands?
Chris and David Gaubatz,you deserve medals of honour.We need
more like you to infiltrate these organizations.
(I read it all)
The best line is later in the article at WND:
CAIR claims the Gaubatzes used CAIR property and personal information of CAIR's employees and donors to cast the group in a "negative, inaccurate light."
ummmm - I think that should be a "negative, accurate light."
This is a victory for the Gaubatz and all the people who have the courage to fight evil... too bad that the medias do not talk about important news like this judgment
