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.

Saba Ahmed Says Yadda Yadda

On June 16th the Heritage Foundation held an event on the Benghazi consulate attack where two of the panelists, Frank Gaffney and Brigitte Gabriel addressed a question asked by the only Muslim in attendance, Saba Ahmed. Hannah Harris Green of  The Nation , a far left waste of web space, claimed that Gaffney and Gabriel ". . . promptly attacked her with an Islamophobic rant." It seems when conservatives answer a question with facts and historical content, leftists claim that they are ranting. When you see the video, you will agree that Ahmed's question was answered respectfully and in Gabriel's case, somewhat passionately; but certainly not as an attack. Judge for yourself by viewing the Benghazi Coalition Event video

Brigitte Gabriel

The Nation quotes one verse in the Qu'ran that says there is no compulsion in religion. "You can't force people to convert,"  Green writes. What she didn't tell you, either because she is clueless or doesn't want you to know,  is that there is a little thing in the Qu'ran called abrogation.

Abrogation is when one Koranic verse (I tend to spell Koran the American way not Qu'ran) is cancelled out by a latter one that usually contradicts it.

 Ibn Abbas, a Muslim scholar, is very clear when he addressed the verse Green referred to that states there is no compulsion in religion: "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah yadda yadda), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost [all spiritual good]" (3:85). 

If you know anything about the Koran, which I suspect Green is clueless, you know that all the latter [Medina] verses are not generally peaceful.

Green, clearly an appeaser, goes on to say "There are a lot of peace verses 60:08 . . . "

But the rule of abrogation, as I mentioned, came about in Mohammed's (peas be up in him) Medina period, when his army of terrorists increased from about 250 terrorists when they were formed in Mecca, to around 10,500 by the time they killed their way to Medina. 

And just because the sura  Green cited is 60:8, this doesn't mean it came later in time. Sura 2, or "The Sura of the Sword" came later in Mohammed's history. 

The Koran is not laid out chronologically but in terms of the length of the suras--the longer ones are placed first in the Koran, followed by shorter verses, and they have nothing to do with when they were written. Oh, and by the way, they were written by a scribe for Mohammed because he was illiterate. And oh, the scribe often made suggestions to fix inconsistencies which Mohammed agreed needed fixing. So how could the Koran be the word of Allah if a lowly scribe could fix it? Oh, I almost forgot, then Mohammed had the scribe killed when he started asking the same questions.

But back to Saba Ahmed. 

Back in 2006, the then 26 year old Beaverton,Oregon woman (who grew up in Pakistan, which Obama pronounces "Pahkeestahn") made a run for Oregon's vacant congressional seat. Her website featured an Islamic prayer in Arabic. At that time, Ahmed said she was studying for an MBA and a law degree. However, in 2004, she was pursuing a double major: electrical engineering and physics at Portland State University. 

She is a family friend of Mohamed Mohamud (no relation to Mohammed Mohamad Mahammad).

 Mohamud is the Somali teenager who attempted to light up the Portland Christmas tree lighting ceremony with a bomb. Luckily the plot failed but Saba currently denies knowing this terrorist wannabe.

In January of 2011, Ahmed was featured in the local news after she was reported missing by her family. They explained to the police that she was diagnosed with a mental disorder and that she disappeared when she was scheduled to check herself into the Providence St. Vincent Medical Center.

Ahmed claimed she was not diagnosed with a mental disorder but she had a family dispute at the time and attributed the "lie" to that. On her blog, Ahmed explained that it all had to do with a complicated story about her involvement with a romantic involvement in Florida for which she was "unfairly arrested" for stalking and simply being trapped in the home of another man who had two wives (Mohammed had 12, peas be up in him).

Several nights ago, Saba discussed the Heritage Foundation "attack" on her, on 

Hannity She didn't stick to the issue and attacked Brigitte Gabriel instead of actually discussing Sharia law and its effect on women. 

Anyway, the good news is, Saba Ahmed's campaign was as successful as Obama's outcomes--she got less than 1% of the vote. There is a God, but His name isn't Allah, that's the moon god.
