Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Ohio: Muslim claiming “defamation” drops suit against those who exposed his jihad terror ties

Sep 11, 2014 12:28 pm By Robert Spencer

aflcYet another bogus claim of victimhood from an Islamic supremacist falls flat, thanks to the intrepid legal minds of the American Freedom Law Center: “Muslim Claiming “Defamation” Caves In – Again,” American Freedom Law Center, September 10, 2014:

A former “Multicultural Relations” officer at the Ohio Department of Homeland Security (OHS), who was terminated for falsifying his background and for lying about being fired from an earlier teaching position at a community college for improper sexual relations with a female student, filed a notice today in Ohio state court dismissing his “defamation” lawsuit filed against several national security experts. In the lawsuit, Omar Alomari claimed that counter-terrorism experts Stephen Coughlin, John Guandolo, Patrick Poole, and Todd Sheets had defamed him by exposing his role as a former high-ranking official in the Jordanian government and his ties to terrorist organizations. The American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) represents the counter-terrorism experts in this litigation.

Alomari, a Muslim who emigrated from Jordan in 1978, claimed that the experts cast him in a “false light” by publishing false statements about him and, as a result of these statements, the OHS fired him. Just recently, however, a federal court determined that the OHS terminated Alomari because he lied about his prior relationships to undisclosed organizations on his OHS application for employment, and he also lied about the fact that he lost his teaching position at Columbus State Community College as a result of an inappropriate sexual relationship with one of his female students.

In Alomari’s lawsuit, he alleged that counter-terrorism experts Stephen Coughlin, John Guandolo, and Todd Sheets had defamed him during counter-terrorism workshops and training sessions conducted for the Columbus, Ohio, police department by exposing Alomari’s nefarious ties to terrorists. Alomari also alleged that Patrick Poole had published articles linking him to terrorists.

Alomari’s notice of dismissal came in response to a letter sent on behalf of the experts by AFLC Co-Founder and Senior Counsel David Yerushalmi. In his letter, Yerushalmi accused Alomari and his attorney of filing meritless and frivolous claims, and he gave them an ultimatum: either dismiss the frivolous claims by today or face a motion for sanctions. Alomari chose the former, and his dismissal is with prejudice, ending this long-running litigation.

Yerushalmi commented: “Alomari filed his original lawsuit in April 2013. After we filed a motion to dismiss, rather than respond to our motion and defend his lawsuit, Alomari voluntarily dismissed his complaint without prejudice. Under Ohio’s rules, this meant he could refile the lawsuit within a year. Not surprisingly, he waited almost a year to the day and refiled essentially the same complaint. This is classic Muslim Brotherhood lawfare doctrine: use and abuse the legal system to frighten anyone who might stand up to the Muslim Brotherhood and its ongoing effort to insinuate operatives into sensitive government positions.”

Robert Muise, also Co-Founder and Senior Counsel of AFLC, noted that this second voluntary dismissal is, by the court’s rules, with prejudice and finally brings this litigation to an end, remarking: “AFLC is the only public-interest law firm that focuses on representing counter-terrorism experts and others pro bono who are threatened with litigation by the many Muslim Brotherhood front groups operating in this country under the guise of Muslim civic organizations. AFLC has demonstrated time and again that when you confront Islamist lawfare with better and even more aggressive lawyering, the truth and the Constitution win out. We want the counter-terrorism experts outside the government and those whistleblowers working for the government to know that AFLC is ready, willing, and able to defend their legal rights. The time has come for patriotic Americans to stand up against the jihadist threat abroad and right here at home.”

    Well done, Mr. Yerushalmi!

    You prove the dictum that lawyers are the champions of freedom and truth.

    The truth shall prevail.

      More than that. He has allowed this creep’s background to be exposed – which in itself is a crime under sharia law!

      http://www.zoominfo.com/p/Omar-Alomari/1090718762

      “Alomari authored a brochure entitled, “Agents of Radicalization,” which promoted several Muslim groups as “organizations we [OHS] are working with. Several of these groups, which included CAIR and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), have been linked to terrorism by the Department of Justice and the FBI. In fact, CAIR and ISNA were unindicted co-conspirators in the largest terrorism financing trial ever brought by the Department of Justice. Thousands of the brochures were eventually destroyed after OHS discovered the misleading materials.”

      I hope someone kept some as evidence!

      “In 2005, the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s Office of Homeland Security (OHS) hired Alomari to work as a liaison between OHS and Ohio’s Muslim communities. In this capacity, and as a means for ‘EDUCATING’ OHS on Islamic “cultural competency issues,” Alomari wrote and published “A Guide to Arabic and Islamic Culture.
      In this document, Alomari defined jihad as “the BENIGN pursuit of personal betterment. In addition, Alomari wrote that jihad “MAY BE applied to physical conflict for Muslims, but ONLY in the arena of Muslims DEFENDING themselves when attacked or when attempting to overthrow oppression and occupation. Alomari also noted that “Jihad as a holy war is a European invention, spread in the West.”

    Nice to see a win chalked up on the board.

    Just one; but it matters, so long as it is followed up by *other* wins. Muslims have got where they are, today, within the West (and elsewhere) by the ‘ratchet’ method; but two can play at that game. We non-Muslims – on our own home turf – should be able to use our *own* laws, our own system, against them, to make our own slow, steady, incremental resistance and make it *stick*.

    Islamoaware Americans need to support organisations such as the AFLC – and ACT for America. Even if you can only afford a very small donation. As regards ACT for America, just becoming a financial member helps keep them afloat and lobbying in Congress; but if you have no money, you can always participate in other ways.

    *All* of us – American or not – can pop something in Mr Spencer’s tip jar, and support other awareness raising outfits, too, such as New English Review or, in Canada, Point de Bascule, or, in France, Riposte Laique.

    Outside of the USA: most of us are starting to see possible organisations and even political parties crystallising out, as Islamoawareness spreads among the ordinary citizenry and levels of intelligent alarm begin to rise.

    Australians can join Q Society.

    People in the UK can support Gavin Boby’s “Law and Freedom Foundation”, and join and support Paul Weston’s “Liberty GB”; and identify such politicians as are, for example, genuine friends of Israel (there *are* some; and such are usually educable on the subject of Jihad), and endeavour to further inform, educate and enliven them.

    Dutchmen and women can get in behind Geert Wilders and make him the head of a *very* large parade.

    Swedes can support the Swedish Democrats: by finances, by joining and participating, by voting, by relentlessly and patiently – among their acquaintance – telling the truth about Islam, jihad, sharia.

    Danes can support the Free Press Society and the Danish People’s Party.

    Norwegians can align with Siv Jensen and her party.

    I believe that there *is* hope. In all of the Lands of the Infidels, there *can* be effective pushback against all the forms of jihad that are being waged upon us; indeed, the pushback is in various ways beginning, and requires to be joined, and kept up.

    “One foot in front of the other
    One foot in front of the other
    as the little dog said

    when he went from London to Dover;
    and when he came to a stile
    jump! he went over”.

    Bravo Mr. Yerushalmi! And thank you for devoting your time and expertise to those who are watching out for America.
