California: Muslim hotel owner liable for trying to throw out Jewish group

Islamic antisemitism is still illegal in California. How long before Hamas-linked CAIR cries "Islamophobia"?

An update on this story. "California Hotel Found Liable in Civil Rights Case," by Michael Cieply in the New York Times, August 15 (thanks to Kenneth):

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — A jury in a state court here found the Hotel Shangri-La, an ocean-view stop for the Hollywood set, and Tehmina Adaya, its proprietor, liable in a case that accused Ms. Adaya of violating a California civil rights law by attempting to evict a Jewish group in 2010, people on both sides of the dispute said on Wednesday.

The case, which has been on trial in the Santa Monica division of the Los Angeles County Superior Court since late July, raised rare claims of anti-Semitism here.

In 2010, Ms. Adaya, who is a Pakistani-born Muslim, ordered the shutdown of a poolside event sponsored by the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, but eventually allowed the group to stay after insisting that signs and literature identifying its purpose be removed. In testimony by a former employee and others, she was said to have couched the order with an obscenity aimed at the Jews who had assembled for the event, and to have said her family members would cut off financing if they learned of the gathering.

In her testimony, Ms. Adaya denied those claims.

After deliberating for a week, jurors on late Wednesday found Ms. Adaya and a company that owns the hotel liable for the civil rights violation and for inflicting emotional distress and other violations. They awarded over $1.2 million to a group of plaintiffs that included 18 individuals and Platinum Events, a company that had worked with the hotel in setting up the event, said James Turken, a lawyer for the plaintiffs.

In her testimony, Ms. Adaya denied those claims [and denying the testimony of other witnesses who did not have a financial stake in denying the plaintiffs' claims].

*****

Since lying is an inherent part of Islam, Adaya's testimony should count for shiitte. Whenever a Muslim is cross-examined the concept of Taqiyya should be introduced during the process of impeaching the witness. For any lawyer NOT to do that is an indication of malpractice. Believe me, there are sets of questions that can be asked of the Muslim who is bound and determined to lie. He/she will give so many conflicting accounts of the requirements of Islam that no one will believe the witness.

After deliberating for a week, .....

A week!! Were these guys smoking something? It was an open and shut case!

Quasi-clowns! (That's because they at least reached the right decision to convict)

Slightly OT, but repeats the theme of "you're Jewish, so get out!"

Csanad Szegedi's grandfather was a forced labour camp veteran and that his grandmother was a survivor of Auschwitz.

So?

Well, Csanad Szegedi was the rising star of a Hungarian anti-Semitic party, but was forced to resign after he discovered his Jewish heritage!!

Just imagine his jack-booting, Hitler-saluting mates suddenly giving him the swerve!

Now he knows what it's really like to be Jewish! Ignored and expelled!

I laughed myself hoarse.

God bless Israel, the Jews and the IDF as well as all who are supporting the civilized against the savage (Robert, Pamela and friends).

"Rare" claims of antisemitism? Check what's going on the colleges nationwide; check what's happening any place there are Muslims; check what's happening where the neo-nazis congregate; check what's happening in our beloved president's former church.

Antisemitism is alive and well, not only in the US of A, but around the world.

From Inmates to statesmen to tyrants !

_____________________________________________

Absolutely, positively, 100% correct! In fact, with a little thinking, it ought to be possible to examine the Muslim witness in such a way as to get him/her to willingly admit to the "glories" of sanctified lying, itself.

It'll happen, sooner or later, and I will relish the looks on Jurors' faces when it does.

Exit question for you: What effect would such a scenario have on potential Muslim Jurors? Interesting, no?

Plainly and simply: islam has been the bane of all civilized nations ever since its invention by the criminal
mohammad some 1400 years ago.

Adaya got off way too cheaply. Why isn't there an award for punitive damage$ in this case?

As it stands, the attorneys take is somewhere in the ballpark of 30% with the remainder to be distributed among 18 individuals?

That award hardly demonstrates a sincere effort to discourage her racist temperament. A more suitable award would have that hotel up on the auction block to settle the monetary value of this hate-crime case.

Begad ! Methinks Islam has been hoisted with its own petard.
