CAIR Savages the First Amendment
War Of Wits ^ | December 10, 2007 | by Jayme Evans

And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers. Qur'an: Sura 2:191

Together, the 1st and 2nd Amendments make up the last line of defense between the American people and tyranny, whether it be the tyranny of foreign invaders, international and homegrown terrorists, or our own federal government. By calling for irrevocable freedom of expression in the very 1st amendment, The Founders obviously made clear that they held the free exchange of information in highest esteem.

Americans recognize there are many forms of expression such as MoveOn.org hit pieces in the New York Times, KKK rallies, gay pride parades, and myriad other ways to exercise free speech that we may not necessarily agree with, but we take the good with the bad and tolerate even the outlandish, as long as nobody slanders, advocates violence or gets hurt.

Without unhindered freedom of expression, there can be no criticism.

His case sounds weak.

The idea was to get them into court and under oath.

Then in discovery, ask for all the stuff that was asked for in this action:

"The Anti-CAIR website, www.anti-cair-net.org, reports a “mutually agreeable settlement,” the terms of which are confidential. However, Whitehead notes that he issued no public apology to CAIR, made no retractions or corrections, and left the Anti-CAIR website unchanged, so that it continues to post the statements that triggered CAIR’s suit. Specifically, CAIR had complained about Whitehead calling it a “terrorist supporting front organization … founded by Hamas supporters” that aims “to make radical Islam the dominant religion in the United States.” It also objected to being described as “dedicated to the overthrow of the United States Constitution and the installation of an Islamic theocracy in America.”
