The saying is “All’s fair in love and war.” This has been proven to be true time and time again. Our sworn enemies, Muslim terrorists, are attacking the U.S. with assorted techniques.

Very few, if anybody, relish the thought of being sued. The idea of being sued conjures up negative emotions of frustration, aggravation, inconvenience and possibly huge expenses. If you knew you might be sued for speaking out, would you?

Muslims across the world, even in the United States, are employing legal action to gain control. Their desire is to intimidate people to give in to their wishes. Their ultimate goal is to change our living environment to conform to their religious beliefs and customs.

On March 31, 2004,the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) filed a defamation lawsuit against Andrew Whitehead, one of the founders of Anti-CAIR, for making multiple libelous remarks about CAIR. Whitehead acknowledges he made statements such as “Let there be no doubt that CAIR is a terrorist supporting front organization that is partially funded by terrorists, and that CAIR wishes nothing more than the implementation of Islamic law in America.” And “CAIR is a fundamentalist organization dedicated to the overthrow of the United States Constitution and the installation of an Islamic theocracy in America.”

On June 20, 2005 CAIR reduced the number of the alleged libelous statements to just two. Then on March 23, 2006 Whitehead reported that CAIR’s lawsuit has been dismissed. Whitehead also stated “The policies and procedures of Anti-CAIR have not changed in any way as a result of the CAIR lawsuit settlement.”

On March 29, 2007 The Detroit News reported that a Muslim woman, Ginnah Muhammad, filed a lawsuit against Judge Paul Paruk. Ginnah claims the Judge violated her religious rights. There was no mention of her civil rights.

Muhammad had gone to court, in October 2006 in a dispute with a car rental company. Judge Paruk said she could not testify unless she removed her veil. Ginnah refused to remove the veil of her hajib that covered her from head to toe except for her eyes. From her picture this writer could not tell if she was a man or a women no less which woman.

On March 29, 2007 thirty-five Bosnian Muslims filed a lawsuit, in St. Louis, claiming the U.S. government is unlawfully delaying their applications to become United States citizens.

On November 21, 2006 six Imams were ejected from a US Airway plane in Minneapolis. An Imam can simply be a highly respected individual or a teacher or a religious leader.

One or more passengers alerted the crew that the Imams were spouting anti-American rhetoric. The airplane crew and an air marshal claimed that the Imams did not take their assigned seats but separated into groups of two and took other seats. Imams who did not appear to need larger seat belts requested seat belt extenders. As a result of these suspicious actions the six Imams were asked to leave the airplane.

Subsequent to this event CAIR assisted the six Imams in filing lawsuits against the airport, US Airways and the crew. Furthermore they have threatened to sue the passengers who complained. The Imams claim it was discrimination against them for praying in the airport.

On March 21, 2007 The Washington Times reported that Dr. Zuhdi Jasser told The Washington Times his group would raise money for legal fees for passengers if the Imams sue them. Dr. Jasser, is a Phoenix-area physician and director of American Islamic Forum for Democracy (www.aifdemocracy.org)– a group founded in 2003 to promote moderate Muslim ideas.

Dr. Jasser has also stated “Organizations like CAIR and the Muslim American Society began whipping up the drums of victimization the very next day.”

Fred Thompson former United States senator from Tennessee. Has stated that the passengers’ only offense was reporting suspicious behavior by the six Imams. If the lawsuit goes forward, airline passengers will be far less willing to share information that might prevent another 9/11 terrorist tragedy.

Thompson said this problem pales in comparison to what’s going on in much of Europe today where the courts are being used to criminalize politically incorrect debate about Islam. One notable victim was Italian author and ex-resistance fighter, Oriana Fallaci. A Swiss court ordered her arrest for criticizing Islamic violence. Later, an Italian court ordered her tried as well.

Thompson further stated a bill was introduced in the House of Representatives to protect passengers from being sued for reporting fishy behavior. The good news is that the vote will help keep America’s courts from being used to squelch free speech. The bad news is that 121 U.S. representatives opposed it.

So what are we looking at? A devious enemy who is using our legal system in an attempt to intimidate Americans into silence. The questions are. Are you going to look the other way? Or, are you going to help defend the USA and our freedom?

It is up to you. Remember Never Again.
