CAIR Resorts to Legal Jihad – Again

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a litigious deceptive Islamic-American organization with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and terrorists such as Hamas.

The one thing CAIR hates is when non-Muslims expose this reality concerning CAIR. This is where the word “litigious” enters the picture. CAIR has taken a page from the Leftist ACLU to use large economic resources to intimidate people who criticize their organization. This concept is known as lawfare, legal jihad or libel terrorism. The intimidation’s goal is to force a retraction or economically ruin the defendant.

In the case of CAIR two people come to my mind. They are Andrew Whitehead and Joe Kaufman* (*although Kaufman was sued by CAIR likeminded Muslim-American organizations.) of Anti-CAIR and CAIR Watch (Americans Against Hate) respectively. Whitehead and Kaufman successfully beat down lawfare intimidation.

Now it appears to be the turn of Dave Gaubatz and son Chris Gaubatz who were instrumental in the research documentation of the new book Muslim Mafia. CAIR is going after the Gaubatzes with some legal jihad claiming the two are in breach of contract, theft of documentation and trespassing.

World Net Daily (WND) is promoting the Muslim Mafia has sent an update concerning this legal intimidation tactic.

CAIR Sues Investigators Behind 'Muslim Mafia'
But doesn't refute reporting that ties it to terror...

(WASHINGTON) Nov. 3, 2009 – A nonprofit Islamic organization with a notoriously litigious history—once even encouraging suing U.S. citizens who reported suspicious activity on an airplane—is suing the investigators whose popular book is exposing its ties to terror.

The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) filed a federal lawsuit against P. David Gaubatz, who co-authored "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America," with investigative journalist Paul Sperry. CAIR is charging Gaubatz and his son, Chris, with conspiring to carry out a six-month uncover operation in which they secretly recorded meetings and "stole" thousands of pages of sensitive documents from the Washington, D.C.-based Muslim group.

Published by WND Books, "Muslim Maifa" (sic) presents first-hand evidence that CAIR is acting as a front for the Muslim Brotherhood – the parent of al-Qaida and Hamas – to infiltrate the American system and help usher in the rule of Saudi-style Islamic law over the United States.

In the lawsuit, CAIR seeks punitive damages from the Gaubatzes for trespassing, breach of contract, conversion and breach of fiduciary duty. But it does not defend itself against the book's claims.

WorldNetDaily reached out to readers to help support the Gaubatzes' legal defense.

"At issue is the 12,000 pages of incriminating internal documents Chris Gaubatz collected during the 6-month internship," writes David Kupelian, WorldNetDaily vice president and managing editor, in an open letter to readers. "CAIR says he stole them. But as WND founder and CEO Joseph Farah has previously explained in a letter to Congress, the CAIR material was legally obtained by Chris Gaubatz, who had been asked by CAIR officials 'to shred documents he believed might be criminal evidence ... and involve matters of national security.'"

"On advice from counsel, he collected those documents and preserved them. None of the documents were 'stolen,'" Farah said. "They were, in fact, handed to him by CAIR employees for destruction. All of the documents are available for review by appropriate law-enforcement authorities and, in fact, some have already been provided to them."

Based on scathing findings from a six-month undercover investigation—where Chris, posing as a recent Muslim convert, salvaged 12,000 sensitive CAIR documents from the shredder—"Muslim Mafia" is stunning in its timeliness, breaking news that:

• The FBI severed ties with CAIR for its role in the largest terror-finance case in U.S. history;

• CAIR's legal strategy in the recently settled "flying imams" case advised lawsuits not just against the airline that expelled the imams for odd and threatening behavior, but also against the concerned citizens who reported the behavior;

• CAIR's support for an imprisoned cop killer who directs a violent Islamic sect in Detroit—whose local leader was recently involved in a deadly shootout with federal agents.

Scrutiny is emanating from Congress and the public after "Muslim Mafia" brought these and other startling revelations to light.

"Muslim Mafia," featuring a foreword written by U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick, co-founder of the Congressional Anti-Terrorism Caucus, is packed with pages of recently declassified government documents and evidence, including thousands of e-mails, faxes and internal memos that were never meant for public viewing.

Some of the key smoking-gun revelations detailed in the book include:

• How CAIR debated launching a smear campaign against Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer of California after she cited concerns over its associations.

• Means CAIR employs to excuse, protect and prevent police from prosecuting Muslim men who beat their wives, decreeing such beatings are OK for American Muslims so long no mark remains.

The courageous work of the investigators and infiltrators makes "Muslim Mafia" a gripping read, and reveals that these radical Islamofascists are working in the U.S. to:

• Gut U.S. anti-terrorism laws;

• Loosen U.S. Muslim immigration policies;

• Infiltrate the government and institutionalize Shariah law;

• Hinder FBI investigations of terrorist suspects;

• Tip off terrorist suspects prior to raids.

"The evidence found in the investigation is incontrovertible, after all, it's their own documents laid bare," said co-author and investigative journalist Paul Sperry. "With more than 12,000 pages of support documentation, more than 40 pages of footnotes and an appendix containing more than 50 pages of exclusive confidential documents, "Muslim Mafia" offers hard proof of the Muslim Brotherhood's subversive strategy against America."
