Clock Boy's "hate crime" lawsuit dismissed

Ahmed Mohamed, aka "Clock Boy" is best known for bringing what looked to be a bomb to his Irvine, Texas middle school in September 2015 and scaring the hell out of the staff with a bomb scare. 

The kid was subsequently suspended from school.

Ahmed Mohamed's father, Mohamed Mohamed (I have a feeling I can guess dad's middle name) filed a defamation case against Jim Hanson and the Center for Security Policy (CSP) due to the suspension, and alleged that Islamophobia was perpetrated on young Ahmed Mohamed.

The American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) and local counsel Peter Rowe, filed a motion to dismiss the case which also named Glenn Beck and Beck's production company and the local Fox affiliate.

Mohamed Mohamed had sued Hanson and CSP for statements Hanson made on Glenn Beck's show and the connection between the Clock Boy bomb hoax incident, the media frenzy that followed created mostly by Mohamed Mohamed, the Counsel on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim Brotherhood-Hamas front group that promotes "civilization jihad" in the USA.

During the hearing, Judge Moore pressed Mohamed Mohamed's lawyer, Fort Worth attorney Susan Hutchison, to provide any facts that would suggest Hanson and the other defendants had said anything that was defamatory or false about Mohamed Mohamed or his son Ahmed during the TV broadcast on Beck's show.

Well, Susie shuffled off to Buffalo through papers and after a full 15 minutes came up empty. There was no evidence--it was like a Judge Judy moment. The courtroom was so quiet, you could hear a Koran drop.

After the hearing ended, Judge Moore took the matter under advisement but told the parties that she would rule by day's end.

Judge Moore dismissed the lawsuit against Hanson and CSP with prejudice.

David Yerushalmi, the lawyer for AFLC, on leaving the courtroom said: "This lawsuit filed by Clock Boy's father is yet another example of Islamist lawfare, which is a component of the Muslim Brotherhood's civilization jihad."

Yerushalmi said the purpose of these lawsuits, formally labeled Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPP) is to intimidate into silence those who might comment publicly on the connection between jihad, terrorism, sharia and Islam.

He added: "The Islamists employ the progressive mainstream media to label any public criticism of a sharia-centric, jihad-driven Islam as 'Islamophobic,' and they add fear and financial ruin to the equation by utilizing the legal system to file SLAPP actions."

CAIR charged with racketeering and fraud--who'd a thunk?

The un-indicted co-conspirator organization known as CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) is going to stand trial on charges of fraud and cover up for alleged crimes against hundreds of victims, according to a new ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

The original case against CAIR was dismissed by a federal judge but but was then unanimously overturned by the appellate court. Two cases are involved in the suit and have since been consolidated into one. Both involved racketeering, a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) crime.

The lawsuit claims that CAIR National knew that Morris Days, their "Resident Attorney" and "Manager for Civil Rights" at CAIR-Maryland/Virginia chapter in Herndon, Virginia (which is now defunct) was not an attorney and that he failed to provide legal services for clients who came to CAIR for legal representation.

The suit claims that CAIR knew of this fraud and intentionally conspired with Days to prevent their CAIR clients from learning that their legal matters were being mishandled or not handled at all. The complaints also allege that, according to CAIR's internal documents, there were hundreds of victims of the fraud scheme.

The original federal judge ruled that Days and CAIR's Virginia chapter were liable for fraud, but that CAIR National wasn't responsible for his conduct. The appeals court found upon review of the evidence, however, there was a direct relationship between CAIR National and Days.

How surprising coming from such a above-board organization that only wants the best interests of the Muslim community and the United States to be served . . . or not.

David Yerushalmi, senior counsel for the plaintiffs and co-founder of the American Freedom Law Center, said that "CAIR engaged in a massive criminal fraud in which literally hundreds of CAIR clients have been victimized." 

Yerushalmi also represented Pamela Geller in her cases against lawsuits initiated by CAIR against her First Amendment rights. Regarding the current case he added, "In his ruling, Judge Friedman [the original judge] inexplicably ignored material facts that establish CAIR National's liability and then engaged in a transparently disingenuous 'weighing' of the factual evidence he did address . . . We are thankful that the appeals court has rectified the trial court's errors. Now, at long last, our clients will go before a jury and get their day in court."

Anyone who follows the news and refuses to stick their head in the sand, or in other places, knows that CAIR has a long history of Islamist extremism. They have links to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood (as does Barack Ohama), and the U.S. Justice Department labeled CAIR as an "un-indicted co-conspirator" in the Holy Land Foundation trial that revealed Hamas-funding by the Muslim Brotherhood and that CAIR is a U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entity.

CAIR was officially designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates in 2014 and listed by the U.S. Department of Justice as part of the Muslim Brotherhood's covert "Palestine Committee" to support Hamas in the USA.

Federal judge chastises Hamas-linked CAIR

The Counsel on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) may finally be getting its comeuppance in a public trial. The Hamas-linked organization with close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood will get the exposure it so much wants to avoid if the trial takes place. Their biggest fear is for them to be exposed as an embedded, subversive Islamic front group.

Robert Spencer's blog Jihad Watch discusses the case in detail.

On Thursday Federal Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly denied CAIR's motion to reopen discovery in what has become known as the Muslim Mafia Trial.

CAIR sued the Center for Security Policy (CSP) and its employees back in 2008 for compiling a documentary to expose CAIR's Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas ties along with other illegal activities. 

In the documentary, Dave Gaubatz and his son, Chris, went undercover as CAIR interns and learned of multiple crimes committed by CAIR. From the information they gathered, renown author, Paul Sperry, wrote a book describing CAIR's crimes and terrorist connections. Dave taught Chris to work as a CAIR intern and gain access to the criminal evidence.

However, there was no investigation by the Department of Justice or the FBI. Instead, CAIR sued Gaubatz and his son for wiretapping and computer hacking and other charges. But even with the information they gathered against CAIR, the Obama administration has done nothing about it, and this gave the terror-linked group to open the lawsuit, and since the suit began, CAIR added more defendants including CSP which is headed by Frank Gaffney, a Reagan administration official.

The American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) founded and led by David Yerushalmi and Robert Muise, represents the CSP defendants. Yerushalmi has also represented Pamela Geller, the co-founder of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, in legal battles with CAIR.

Earlier this year, the federal court had ordered both parties to prepare for trial or mediate a settlement. CAIR, with its terrorist connections was in no position to settle and after months of delay, and its 12th lawyer for the case, Haytham Faraj, the Hamas-linked organization filed a motion to re-open discovery and allow CAIR's counsel to name experts who could testify about the reputational damages the poor dears suffered as a result of the publication of the book Muslim Mafia. 

Yerushalmi and Muise filed an opposition to the motion saying that Faraj failed to explain why the case should be further delayed and not ready for trial (since it had 7 freaking years to get ready).

The AFLC lawyers also pointed out in the opposition that CAIR had early on in the case renounced any claim for reputational damages, including any losses attributed to loss in donor income or the inability to lobby government officials, because CAIR didn't want its reputation placed center-stage in the litigation.

The Court agreed with AFLC and denied CAIR's motion:

Although a trial date has not yet been set in this case, the dispositive motions in this case are finally resolved, and it is now time to prepare for trial rather than time to reopen discovery, particularly when certain prior decisions of the Court were premised on the explicit disclaimer of reputational damages. Reopening discovery at this point, even for a limited purpose, would not serve a "just, speedy, and inexpensive" resolution of this matter. Accordingly, for all of these reasons, and given the long history of this case recounted above, the Court finds that Plaintiffs have not shown good cause to reopen discovery, and Plaintiffs' motion is DENIED.

The judge added a warning comment to CAIR and its new counsel:

The Court notes that this request to reopen discovery comes as Plaintiffs retained new attorneys--once again--purportedly to take this case to trial. While it is Plaintiffs' prerogative to switch jockeys mid-course, they may not rewind time and begin the race again. To do so would be neither fair nor efficient.

Both AFLC lawyers applauded the judge's ruling and are eager to expose CAIR as the "subversive Islamist front group" that it is.

CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator and Muslim Brotherhood-Hamas front groups by the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office in the Holy Land Foundation trials (HLF).

HLF was a fund raiser for violent jihad by Hamas and top CAIR leaders were part of the conspiracy. From this, the FBI publicly ended its outreach activities with CAIR and the United Arab Emirates has officially declared CAIR a terrorist organization.

In spite of this, however, president Obama continues to have a relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood, of which CAIR is an arm.

Pamela Geller's Ad Stays: First Amendment Wins

In spite of the fact that New York City mayor Bill Di Blasio is the most left-wing socialist the city ever had the misfortune of electing for the job, and a guy who isn't a big fan of the US Constitution when it allows someone to challenge his beliefs, the First Amendment won the day.

American Freedom Defense Initiative, headed by Pamela Geller, won a legal battle against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and their claim that AFDI's pro-Israel ad represents hate speech. The ad will be displayed on city buses and contains the phrase "Hamas Killing Jews," which is simply taken from Hamas' statements about Jews and their actually killing Jews for religious reasons.

The ruling came on Tuesday from Judge John Koeltl. He ruled that the ad is protected speech, although he added that he was sensitive to the MTA's claim that it could incite violence [from violent Islamists for being called violent Islamists].

On the other hand, he pointed out that no violence occurred in San Francisco and Chicago in 2013 when the same ads were posted on city transit.

"Under the First Amendment, the fear of such spontaneous attacks, without more, cannot override individuals' rights to freedom of expression," Koeltl said in a ruling, and stayed the effect of the decision for 30 days so it will have the opportunity to be appealed by such terrorist-supporting, anti-Semitic, homophobic, misogynist organizations like CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) and other arms of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Adam Lisbery, the MTA spokesman and a staunch Islamic appeaser or Dhimmi, said they were disappointed with the ruling and they will be reviewing their options [hoping in the interim that the anti-anti-Semitic ads do not provoke anti-Semitic violence].

David Yerushalmi, the attorney for AFDI said the decision "sends a strong message both to government bureaucrats who would restrict our freedom of speech based upon what they perceive to be a global jihadist threat, and it also sends a telling message to our enemies abroad and at home: their threats of violence will not prevent the courts from upholding the First Amendment."

It's always laughable how upset CAIR and other sphincters of the Muslim Brotherhood get when their so-called "holy book," the Koran, is quoted word-for-word and exposes the anti-Semitism, intolerance, and overt hatred Islam has for all infidels, especially Jews. 

Vermin never like sunlight or being openly exposed. Why not quote their holy book? What are they trying to hide?
