On January 31, 2008, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) posted a press release from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

http://www.eff.org/press/archives/2008/01/30-0

In the press release, CAIR Legal Counsel Hadhira Al-Khalili stated: “Michael Savage’s frivolous and baseless lawsuit is a direct attack on First Amendment freedoms and on any citizen’s right to comment on public issues…his suit is an abuse of the judicial system and a transparent attempt to punish those who challenge his hate-filled rhetoric.”

While we welcome CAIR’s newly discovered respect for the First Amendment; we wonder where CAIR’s respect for civil rights was when CAIR sued Anti-CAIR founder Andrew Whitehead for defamation back in 2004? Or do “civil rights” only apply to Muslims whom support the overthrow of the United States government? We’d ask Al-Khalili, but as in the CAIR defamation lawsuit, we’re sure she wouldn’t be up to the challenge of defending CAIR. Given CAIR’s proven ties to terrorists and terrorist groups, how can she? What could she possibly say about CAIR that would mitigate the proven truths about CAIR’s associations with known terrorists and terrorist groups?

CAIR will never defeat Savage in front of a jury; CAIR’s best hope is to find a sympathetic judge who will dismiss the case before it comes to trial. Failing that, CAIR will run away from this case, just as they did in their lawsuit against Anti-CAIR’s founder.

But will CAIR be able to run from this case?

Our reading of Savage’s material leads us to beleive that Savage would like nothing better than to see CAIR in court, in front of a jury. Somehow we doubt that Savage would be happy with anything less than the total demands he is making. CAIR is in a bind; if it pays Savage to settle, it loses. If this goes to the jury, it will lose as well.

Savage’s attorney, Daniel Horowitz, has a “bull dog” reputation; would he have taken Savage’s case if he thought he couldn’t win? Horowitz can afford to pick and choose his cases, he obviously believes in Savage or he could have easily turned this case down.

In response to the EFF’s support of CAIR, Anti-CAIR sent the following e-mail to EFF:

——————–

Dear Ms. Jeschke,

My name is Andrew Whitehead, I am the founder and director of Anti-Council on American-Islamic Relations (Anti-CAIR); a small group of concerned citizens united in exposing the relationship between the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and various Islamic terrorist personalities and groups. I invite you to visit our web site, www.anti-cair-net.org for more information on our work.

For the several years we have been fighting and exposing CAIR’s bigotry, anti-American rhetoric, and support for Islamist terrorism (along with CAIR’s proven links to same), one thing we have learned that your organization apparently has not: CAIR is not what it seems to be. Beneath the colorful logo, the friendly handshakes, the photo-ops with various political leaders and community representatives is a group that is working, every minute of every day, to advance the radical Islamist agenda in North America.

The following list is proven true:

“Let there be no doubt that the Council on American-Islamic Relations is a terrorist supporting front organization that is partially funded by terrorists, and that CAIR wishes nothing more that the implementation of Sharia Law in America.”

CAIR has proven links to, and was founded by, Islamist terrorists. CAIR actively supports terrorists and terrorist-supporting groups and nations.”

CAIR is an organization found by Hamas supporters which seeks to overthrow Constitutional government in the United States and replace it with an Islamist theocracy using our own Constitution as protection.”

“CAIR is not in the United States to promote the civil rights of Muslims. CAIR is here to make radical Islam the dominate religion in the United States and convert our country in an Islamic theocracy.”

“CAIR receives direct funding from Islamic terrorist supporting countries.”

I introduced this list by saying, “The following list is proven true”.

How do I know for a fact that it is true? Simple, CAIR sued me for making these statements (additional statements are on the web site). When CAIR sued me, my legal team requested a jury trial. In preparation for trial, we went through the discovery process. Just before trial was at hand, CAIR dropped the case, “with prejudice” (meaning they cannot sue again for the same truths I wrote). Wouldn’t you like to ask CAIR why they dropped the lawsuit? You would like to know why they couldn’t defend themselves, wouldn’t you? I know the answer: My attorney, Reed Rubinstein, was too close to the truth in our discovery questions. CAIR knew we had the goods on them and that a trial would expose them to the whole world for what they really are: an Islamic terrorist front group.

Go ahead, put these questions to CAIR; see if you get a better answer. You won’t. Instead, they’ll call me “Islamophobic, xenophobic” and a whole host of other words…all in the hope that you will forget the original question…because you don’t want to appear to be “mean”, you’ll go along with it. How do I know? Because I’ve seen them do it a million times before.

CAIR has lately claimed that I paid them to drop the lawsuit. Would you care to ask them just how many pieces of silver it takes to get them to swallow their so-called “honor”?

Don’t be surprised when your question is ignored.

Personally, I’d rather die than give up my honor…but then I am not an officer in CAIR; where “honor” is just another word in the dictionary.

By running from the lawsuit they instigated, CAIR has confirmed that every word I ever wrote about them is true.

We, among many other anti-radical Islamic groups, have pointed out CAIR’s attacks on our civil liberties, CAIR attempts to bully organizations and government agencies into submitting to radical Islam, and CAIR’s siding with Islamic terrorists in North America.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation is siding with an organization that actively supports those who will shut you down the very moment they take power. You have very little idea of just how this will affect your group long-term; I can tell you from personal experience that North Americans do not respect organizations that stand with CAIR.

I have included those CAIR members you have posted to your web page, http://www.eff.org/press/archives/2008/01/30-0. In addition, please feel free to publish this e-mail or share it with CAIR.

Unlike CAIR, I do not fear the sunlight.

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have regarding CAIR, I can promise a truthful response. I also invite you share any further communications we may have in future with CAIR or anyone else.

Respectfully,

Andy

When CAIR loses the Savage lawsuit, will CAIR share its rock with the EFF?
