CAIR Legal Jihad Going to Trial

Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America is a 2009 book by U.S. State Department-trained Arabic linguist and former U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations special agent Paul David Gaubatz, and investigative journalist and Hoover Institute fellow Paul Sperry.

It proves the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to be a subversive organization allied with international terrorists.

The book is based on a six-month undercover investigation of the Washington-based CAIR by Chris Gaubatz — son of co-author Paul David Gaubatz — who posed as a convert to Islam. The book uses documents Chris Gaubatz obtained as a CAIR intern to prove the book's assertions that CAIR is a front for the Muslim Brotherhood, and that CAIR supports international jihad against the U.S.

The book prompted endorsements from a number of writers and requests by members of the United States Congress for investigations into CAIR's terrorist links and undue influence.

One of the best books I have EVER read is “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That’s Conspiring to Islamize America”. The book is the result of the private undercover work of Chris Gaubatz who transmitted info Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) did not want to be made public. The CAIR-info demonstrates the Muslim-American organization is an agent of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB). The MB is a transnational Islamic organization designated a terrorist group by numerous nations (including the MB home nation Egypt), but for some beyond reason decision not by the USA.

Paul Sperry and Chris’ father David Gaubatz authored the book “Muslim Mafia” from the clandestinely acquired info. The book was published in 2009. CAIR has done everything within its legal power to either discredit, squelch the book’s existence and/or destroy the Gaubatz family since 2009.

Legal Jihad/Lawfare is the tactic Islam uses to intimidate critics and individuals actively exposing Islamic designs for the West. You can Google the term for yourself, but this 113-page pdf from the Center for Security Policy bring to light some insight on this Muslim litigation tactic:

Lawfare – the use of litigation and other judicial instruments to achieve policy outcomes – has long been employed by the U.S. progressive movement. In recent years, it has become a favored weapon of the Left’s allies in the Muslim Brotherhood and other parts of the global jihad movement in America.

Organizations in this country that front for the Brotherhood and its Palestinian franchise, Hamas, such as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), have wielded lawfare both strategically and tactically. Their focus typically involves efforts to create and promote victimization narratives for Islam. They seek to silence their critics and put the American public and policy-makers on the defensive in the face of the global and domestic threat from a jihad or holy war, driven by the dictates of the Islamic supremacist doctrine known as shariah.

In advancing this agenda, the Muslim Brotherhood uses our own laws and courts for such purposes as intimidating and otherwise suppressing any who dare challenge Islamic supremacism. A steady stream of lawsuits filed by Muslims in this country works to achieve such outcomes and to normalize shariah by: insinuating it incrementally into our legal system; advancing the claim that Islamic law ought to be treated as superior to our basic freedoms; and gaining acceptance for anti-constitutional Islamic tenets related to equality, women’s rights, free speech and more. (OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE LAWFARE: FIGHTING CIVILIZATION JIHAD IN AMERICA’S COURTS; Civilization Jihad Reader Series volume 7; CENTER  FOR  SECURITY  POLICY; 10/16/5)

CAIR has lost numerous legal challenges to the Gaubatz family. Yet they keep the lawfare going. It is obvious CAIR has been doing a great job in draining the Gaubatzs of their money to break them. Think about this: Lawfare is also costing CAIR legal fees. What is their source to keep this flowing? I can’t believe that CAIR’s exaggerated and ever decreasing member rolls are donating the kind of money needed to keep their Lawfare objectives active.

Here we are in 2017 and CAIR has chosen to take the Gaubatzs all the way to a civil trial. Frankly when that Gaubatz defense team nails CAIR with hiding discovery or catches the organization in a lie, I suspect CAIR will settle. There is no way I can believe CAIR can win such a lawsuit unless the Judge is bought or is an extremely complicit Multiculturalist to the point the rule of law is ignored to benefit CAIR. Much like President Trump is experiencing with lawless activist Judges so far.

Below is a WND article that touches on some old news and includes some relevant updates on CAIR’s civil suit against the Gaubatz family. But first here are a few blog posts I have made since the 2009 Legal Jihad began:






****************
Top First Amendment lawyers defend breathtaking infiltration of terror front

April 3, 2017

A former federal investigator enlists his son to infiltrate a Muslim front in the nation’s capital that had routinely collaborated with the White House and federal law-enforcement agencies as a “civil rights” group.

The daring undercover operation results in the capture of 12,000 pages of incriminating internal documents along with audio and video recordings, attracting the interest of the FBI and congressional investigators.

The evidence is compiled in one volume that draws the praise of a member of Congress who declares: “Now we have proof – from the secret documents that this investigative team has uncovered, coupled with the ones recently declassified by the FBI – that [radical Islamic] agents living among us have a plan in place, and they are successfully carrying out that subversive plan.”

But the Muslim front group, funded by wealthy Saudi donors and other foreign sources, files a lawsuit against the investigators, charging its “reputation” was damaged. Lacking any grounds to rebut the overwhelming evidence that it actually is a Muslim Brotherhood front, the group amends it complaint then prolongs the case through frivolous motions until finally, after eight years, a trial is set to be scheduled.

While it might sound like a Hollywood script, it’s the true story of a WND Books co-author and his son who have been sued by the Washington, D.C.-based Council on American-Islamic Relations in a case that has moved to a trial likely to begin this fall in the nation’s capital.


No defense

CAIR filed suit in 2009 against former Air Force special agent David Gaubatz and his son, Chris Gaubatz, after their findings were published in “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That’s Conspiring to Islamize America.

 Serving as an intern, Chris Gaubatz gathered some 12,000 pages of documents that were headed for a shredder at CAIR’s national office in Washington, just three blocks from the U.S. Capitol building. The information published in “Muslim Mafia,” co-authored by David Gaubatz and investigative journalist Paul Sperry, demonstrated CAIR’s connection to the Muslim Brotherhood, the group that spawned al-Qaida and Hamas and stated in writing its intent to put America under Islamic law and the authority of the Quran.

In the lawsuit, however, CAIR has never defended itself against the book’s claims.

The release of the book was kicked off with a Capitol Hill press conference in which several members of the Congressional Anti-Terrorism Caucus cited the research in the book as a national security concern.

It was then-Republican Rep. Sue Myrick of North Carolina who hailed the book as proof of a “subversive plan” by the Muslim Brotherhood to, in the words of a Brotherhood document submitted in a terror-funding trial in which CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator, “destroy Western Civilization from within.”

CAIR’s motions in the “Muslim Mafia” case showed its aim was to squelch any further distribution of the documents and instill fear of the book among any potentially curious reporters.

Meanwhile, as attorneys representing the Gaubatzes were preparing to honor a court order to return documents obtained during operation, FBI agents served a warrant on a Washington, D.C., law office for the same documents, suggesting the agency wanted to see the papers and examine the recordings as part of its interest in CAIR and its Hamas terrorist links.

To defend its author, WND Books hired, among others, famed First Amendment defense attorney Martin Garbus, known for the Pentagon Papers case, and Daniel Horowitz, known for his high-profile clients and legal commentary on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News.

The legal team soon demonstrated that CAIR did not even legally exist as the Washington, D.C., corporation it claimed to be, operating a corporate “shell game,” forcing CAIR to refile its lawsuit.


The FBI already had cut off ties to CAIR in January 2009 after the group was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case in Texas, the largest terrorism-finance case in U.S. history.


FBI wiretap evidence from the Holy Land case showed CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad was at an October 1993 meeting of Hamas leaders and activists in Philadelphia. CAIR, according to the evidence, was born out of a need to give a “media twinkle” to the Muslim leaders’ agenda of supporting violent jihad abroad while slowly institutionalizing Islamic law in the U.S.

A federal judge later determined that the Justice Department provided “ample evidence” to designate CAIR as an unindicted terrorist co-conspirator, affirming the Muslim group had been involved in “a conspiracy to support Hamas.”

In addition, CAIR leaders have made statements affirming the aim of establishing Islamic rule in the United States.

The Islamic organization long had accused WND and others of “smearing” the Muslim group by citing a newspaper account of CAIR founder Omar Ahmad telling Muslims in Northern California in 1998 that they were in America not to assimilate but to help assert Islam’s rule over the country. But WND caught CAIR falsely claiming that it had contacted the paper and had “sought a retraction,” insisting Ahmad never made the statement. Three years later, the issue arose again, and WND found CAIR still had not contacted the paper.

CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper also has expressed a desire to replace the U.S. system of government with an Islamic state.

“I wouldn’t want to create the impression that I wouldn’t like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future,” Hooper said in a 1993 interview with the Minneapolis Star Tribune. “But I’m not going to do anything violent to promote that. I’m going to do it through education.”

Media hijack

Horowitz told WND on Wednesday that despite being named by the United States as a co-conspirator to Hamas and being designated a terrorist group by the United Arab Emirates, CAIR “continues to hijack the media, acting like they are a Muslim civil rights group.”

“They filed this case in a jurisdiction very favorable to their group, and if they win, they will use the case to prove to the world that they are a legitimate group that represents American Muslims,” he said. “If we win, they will be unmasked in a very public way.”

Horowitz explained that the case has gone on so long because CAIR has hid under different corporate names “to obscure a lot of their wrongdoing.”

“We had to petition the court to tie them down to their real identity,” he said.

Also, Horowitz noted that the court shot down CAIR’s claim that its reputation was damaged by an undercover investigation that alleged it was a front for the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.

Horowitz has insisted that “exposing CAIR as a criminal organization does not give them the right to sue for being exposed in that manner.”

“The case is a vendetta by CAIR against people who exposed their Muslim Brotherhood connection,” he told WND in 2015. “They seem have unlimited foreign money, but we have an unlimited will to resist.”

Horowitz said Wednesday that CAIR’s tactics to prolong the case have included not cooperating with court orders to meet and confer.

“They have filed vicious personal attacks, once accusing me of being Islamophobic because I was ‘David Horowitz,'” he said, referring to the widely cited conservative writer and activist who founded the think tank the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Horowitz said that at the trial, he expects to see complete exposure of CAIR’s founding by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Evidence, he said, will trace CAIR’s support for radical jihadists and its donations from foreign entities.


The trial also will spotlight CAIR’s post-9/11 solicitations of funds for 9/11 victims that actually went to Hamas-based groups, and its subversion of the FBI and law enforcement, employing, he said, “the Muslim civil rights persona the way a wolf wears sheep’s clothing.”

Horowitz cautioned that while CAIR doesn’t have a case, the Saudi-funded group “can chill the First Amendment by making it so expensive to speak against them that no one can challenge them.”

He warned that WND must continue to be vigilant: “In the end, CAIR can just keep getting more and more money from overseas and burn out opposition with lawsuits.”

Legal fees paid by WND, besides those paid for by insurance, total hundreds of thousands of dollars before the trial.

“WND has carried the burden of these costs not because it is a party named in the lawsuit,” explained Joseph Farah, founder, editor and chief executive officer of WND.

“Instead, we have done so because no one else stepped forward to do so – to defend the Gaubatzes personally, to take the fight to the Muslim Brotherhood front group CAIR, to defend any attacks CAIR might direct toward the integrity of our book, “Muslim Mafia,” and, more generally, to stand up for the First Amendment.”

Free-speech defender


Garbus, who has appeared before the U.S. Supreme Court along with trial and appellate courts in more than 100 cases, told WND in 2010 he sees the “Muslim Mafia” case as a “continuation of a struggle being carried out throughout the world” to guard freedom of speech.

“I think a book has a right to be out there, and any attempt to stop the book, I think, would be violating the First Amendment,” he said.

Garbus has been in the thick of numerous groundbreaking and highly controversial First Amendment cases over the past five decades, from Daniel Ellsberg’s battle over the Pentagon Papers during the Vietnam War and Lenny Bruce’s famous obscenity charges to radio host Don Imus’ lawsuit against CBS after he was fired for his remarks about the Rutgers women’s basketball team.

Other clients have included activist Cesar Chavez, actor Robert Redford, actor Al Pacino, director Spike Lee, writer Samuel Beckett and Czech playwright Vaclav Havel. Later, when Havel became president of the Czech Republic, Garbus was invited to help write the nation’s constitution.

One of his many seminal cases was Ashton v. Kentucky, in which the Supreme Court ruled in 1966 that libel could no longer be criminally prosecuted.

Garbus believes Americans have an interest in exposure of the CAIR documents, because they are relevant to federal law enforcement officials’ concerns about the group’s ties to terrorist operatives that threaten the nation’s security.

Garbus has said the Gaubatz lawsuit has similarities to his defense of legal author and CNN commentator Jeffrey Toobin, who allegedly violated a confidentiality agreement with Iran-Contra investigator Lawrence E. Walsh in the early 1990s when he published a book about his experience as a member of the prosecution team. Garbus won the case on First Amendment grounds.

‘This book will shake you’

The highlights of “Muslim Mafia” include:

o   New evidence that CAIR was launched to support the Hamas terrorist group and has transferred tens of thousands of dollars to a group convicted as Hamas’ top fundraising arm in the U.S. – money that ended up aiding terrorist attacks on Israelis and Americans;

o   Internal documents showing CAIR, despite claims of cooperating with law enforcement, actively works behind the scenes to mislead and deceive the FBI on behalf of terrorism suspects – and has even cultivated Muslim moles inside law enforcement who have tipped off FBI terror targets;

o   CAIR is more closely tied to al-Qaida than previously reported;

o   CAIR claims to represent all Muslim Americans; however, it has victimized some 100 indigent Muslims in a massive fraud and threatened them when they tried to go to the media; and internally, personnel complaints reveal CAIR discriminates against Shiite Muslims and Muslim women within its own headquarters;

o   CAIR and its sister fronts are funded by foreign Muslim Brotherhood sources;

o   CAIR leaders share the Muslim Brotherhood’s ultimate goal to replace the U.S. Constitution with Shariah law:

o   The Muslim Brotherhood investment in corporate America will be used to pressure U.S. companies into compliance with Islamic principles.

The book has been praised by retired Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin, former U.S. deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence, who has played a role in almost every recent major American military operation, serving in Grenada, Somalia and Iraq.

“There’s a recent book that came out called ‘Muslim Mafia,’” he told a conference in 2010.

“Have any of you read this? Have any of you ever seen it? I encourage you to get this book – ‘Muslim Mafia.’ This book will scare you. This book will open your eyes. This book will shake you. What this book says is frightening,”


Rogues gallery of terror-tied CAIR leaders

As former FBI agent Mike Rolf acknowledges in “Muslim Mafia,” “CAIR has had a number of people in positions of power within the organization that have been directly connected to terrorism and have either been prosecuted or thrown out of the country.” According to another FBI veteran familiar with cases involving CAIR officials, “Their offices have been a turnstile for terrorists and their supporters.”

The list includes:

o   Ghassan Elashi: One of CAIR’s founding directors, he was convicted in 2004 of illegally shipping high-tech goods to terror state Syria and is serving 80 months in prison. He was also convicted of providing material support to Hamas in the Holy Land Foundation terror-financing trial. He was chairman of the charity, which provided seed capital to CAIR. Elashi is related to Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook.

o   Muthanna al-Hanooti: The CAIR director’s home was raided in 2006 by FBI agents in connection with an active terrorism investigation. Agents also searched the offices of his advocacy group, Focus on Advocacy and Advancement of International Relations, which al-Hanooti operates out of Dearborn, Michigan, and Washington, D.C. Al-Hanooti, who emigrated to the U.S. from Iraq, formerly helped run a suspected Hamas terror front called LIFE for Relief and Development. Its Michigan offices also were raided in September 2006. In 2004, LIFE’s Baghdad office was raided by U.S. troops, who seized files and computers. Al-Hanooti is related to Sheik Mohammed al-Hanooti, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

“Al-Hanooti collected over $6 million for support of Hamas,” according to a 2001 FBI report, and was present with CAIR and Holy Land officials at a secret Hamas fundraising summit held in 1993 at a Philadelphia hotel. Prosecutors added his name to the list of unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land case.

Although Al-Hanooti denies supporting Hamas, he has praised Palestinian suicide bombers as “martyrs” who are “alive in the eyes of Allah.”

o   Abdurahman Alamoudi: Another CAIR director, he is serving 23 years in federal prison for plotting terrorism. Alamoudi, who was caught on tape complaining that bin Laden hadn’t killed enough Americans in the U.S. embassy bombings in Africa, was one of al-Qaida’s top fundraisers in America, according to the U.S. Treasury Department.

o   Siraj Wahhaj: A member of CAIR’s board of advisers, Wahhaj was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The radical Brooklyn imam was close to convicted terrorist Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman and defended him during his trial.

“Muslim Mafia,” citing co-author’s Sperry’s previous book “Infiltration” as well as terror expert Steven Emerson’s research, reports that Wahhaj, a black convert to Islam, is converting gang members to Islam and holding “jihad camps” for them. With a combination of Islam and Uzis, he has said, the street thugs will be a powerful force for Islam the day America “will crumble.”

Wahhaj was a key speaker at CAIR’s 15th annual fund-raising banquet in Arlington, Virginia, in 2009.

o   Randall “Ismail” Royer: The former CAIR communications specialist and civil-rights coordinator is serving 20 years in prison in connection with the Virginia Jihad Network, which he led while employed by CAIR at its Washington headquarters. The group trained to kill U.S. soldiers overseas, cased the FBI headquarters and cheered the space shuttle Columbia tragedy. Al-Qaida operative Ahmed Abu Ali, convicted of plotting to assassinate President George W. Bush, was among those who trained with Royer’s Northern Virginia cell.

o   Bassam Khafagi: Another CAIR official, Khafagi was arrested in 2003 while serving as CAIR’s director of community affairs. He pleaded guilty to charges of bank and visa fraud stemming from a federal counter-terror probe of his leadership role in the Islamic Assembly of North America, which has supported al-Qaida and advocated suicide attacks on America. He was sentenced to 10 months in prison and deported to his native Egypt.

o   Laura Jaghlit: A civil-rights coordinator for CAIR, her Washington-area home was raided by federal agents after 9/11 as part of an investigation into terrorist financing, money laundering and tax fraud. Her husband Mohammed Jaghlit, a key leader in the Saudi-backed SAAR network, is a target of the still-active probe. Jaghlit sent two letters accompanying donations – one for $10,000, the other for $5,000 – from the SAAR Foundation to Sami al-Arian, now a convicted terrorist. In each letter, according to a federal affidavit, “Jaghlit instructed al-Arian not to disclose the contribution publicly or to the media. “Investigators suspect the funds were intended for Palestinian terrorists via a U.S. front called WISE, which at the time employed an official who personally delivered a satellite phone battery to Osama bin Laden. The same official also worked for Jaghlit’s group. In addition, Jaghlit donated a total of $37,200 to the Holy Land Foundation, which prosecutors say is a Hamas front. Jaghlit subsequently was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the case.

o   Nihad Awad: Wiretap evidence from the Holy Land case puts CAIR’s executive director at the Philadelphia meeting of Hamas leaders and activists in 1993 that was secretly recorded by the FBI. Participants hatched a plot to disguise payments to Hamas terrorists as charitable giving. During the meeting, according to FBI transcripts, Awad was recorded discussing the propaganda effort. He mentions Ghassan Dahduli, whom he worked with at the time at the Islamic Association for Palestine, another Hamas front. Both were IAP officers. Dahduli’s name also was listed in the address book of bin Laden’s personal secretary, Wadi al-Hage, who is serving a life sentence in prison for his role in the U.S. embassy bombings. Dahduli, an ethnic-Palestinian like Awad, was deported to Jordan after 9/11 for refusing to cooperate in the terror investigation. (An April 28, 2009, letter from FBI assistant director Richard C. Powers to Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz. – which singles out CAIR chief Awad for suspicion – explains how the group’s many Hamas connections caused the FBI to sever ties with CAIR.) Awad’s and Dahduli’s phone numbers are listed in a Muslim Brotherhood document seized by federal investigators revealing “important phone numbers” for the “Palestine Section” of the Brotherhood in America. The court exhibit showed Hamas fugitive Mousa Abu Marzook listed on the same page with Awad.

o   Omar Ahmad: U.S. prosecutors also named CAIR’s founder and chairman emeritus as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land case. Ahmad, too, was placed at the Philadelphia meeting, FBI special agent Lara Burns testified at the trial. Prosecutors also designated him as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood’s “Palestine Committee” in America. Ahmad, like his CAIR partner Awad, is ethnic-Palestinian. (Though both Ahmad and Awad were senior leaders of IAP, the Hamas front, neither of their biographical sketches posted on CAIR’s website mentions their IAP past.)

o   Nabil Sadoun: A CAIR board member, Sadoun has served on the board of the United Association for Studies and Research, which investigators believe to be a key Hamas front in America. In fact, Sadoun co-founded UASR with Hamas leader Marzook. The Justice Department added UASR to the list of unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land case. In 2010, Sadoun was ordered deported to his native Jordan. An immigration judge referenced Sadoun’s relationship with Hamas and the Holy Land Foundation during a deportation hearing.

o   Mohamed Nimer: CAIR’s research director also served as a board director for UASR, the strategic arm for Hamas in the U.S. CAIR neglects to mention Nimer’s and Sadoun’s roles in UASR in their bios.

o   Rafeeq Jaber: A founding director of CAIR, Jaber was the long-time president of the Islamic Association for Palestine. In 2002, a federal judge found that “the Islamic Association for Palestine has acted in support of Hamas.” In his capacity as IAP chief, Jaber praised Hezbollah attacks on Israel. He also served on the board of a radical mosque in the Chicago area.

o   Rabith Hadid: The CAIR fundraiser was a founder of the Global Relief Foundation, which after 9/11 was blacklisted by the Treasury Department for financing al-Qaida and other terror groups. Its assets were frozen in December 2001. Hadid was arrested on terror-related charges and deported to Lebanon in 2003.

o   Hamza Yusuf: The FBI investigated the CAIR board member after 9/11, because just two days before the attacks, he made an ominous prediction to a Muslim audience. “This country is facing a terrible fate, and the reason for that is because this country stands condemned,” Yusuf warned. “It stands condemned like Europe stood condemned because of what it did. And lest people forget, Europe suffered two world wars after conquering the Muslim lands.”

CAIR Lawsuit against Gaubatzes is DENIED as Moot



John R. Houk
© February 15, 2010


Have you been following CAIR’s Legal Jihad against the father/son team that collected some smoking gun damning evidence that CAIR’s unindicted co-conspirator status with the Holy Land Foundation’s (HLF) secret agenda to funnel money to Islamic terrorist group Hamas is just the tip of the iceberg to the fifth column wickedness of that American-Islamic organization?

Well it is apparent the Judge in CAIR’s civil suit against David and Chris Gaubatz is a judge that likes to explore all the merits of a case. Judge Kollar-Kotelly initially forced the Gaubatzs’ to return all the undercover acquired material back to CAIR. This minor legal victory by CAIR gave the Islamic organization some credibility in denouncing the book The Muslim Mafia co-authored by (Paul) David Gaubatz and Paul Sperry as spurious.

The FBI must realized that there was some material acquired pertaining to Homeland Security acquired by private citizens that potentially demonstrate criminal culpability by CAIR. Thus the FBI got a Federal Judge to override Kollar-Kotelly order to return material to CAIR. The Federal Judge issued a subpoena to allow those material documents to be diverted to the FBI.

Oops, that was a major dent in CAIR’s Legal Jihad.

Another minor dent in CAIR’s Legal Jihad occurred when attorney David Horowitz found a technicality in the CAIR lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed under the name that most Muslims and kafir that CAIR is known by; viz. Council on American-Islamic Relations.

The twist that Horowitz found was that CAIR legally changed its non-profit name to Council on American-Islamic Relations Action Network. (Hmm … Wouldn’t the new acronym be CAIRAN – pronounced like Karen? No wonder CAIR is still displayed. CAIRAN has a female connotation. Misogynist Muslims cannot have a female connotation implied to male dominated Islam.) Since the lawsuit was filed under the name of CAIR which doesn’t legally exist, then the lawsuit should be dismissed, right? CAIR changed its name because of the unindicted co-conspirator association with HLF.

I have found from an email alert from WorldNetDaily (WND) that Judge Kollar-Kotelly has denied CAIR’s lawsuit err … Legal Jihad as moot.

Here is the WND news e-alert concerning the dismissal:

‘Denied as Moot’
Federal judge upholds First Amendment, denies CAIR's attempts to legally intimidate, impoverish investigators who exposed its entrenched terror ties.

WorldNetDaily E-News Alert
Sent: February 15, 2010 12:18 PM


WASHINGTON) Feb. 15, 2010 -- A federal judge dismissed the Council on American-Islamic Relations' latest legal maneuver to re-file a lawsuit against the father-and-son team that investigated and documented the group's far-reaching links to terrorist networks.

Defense attorneys hailed the decision as a victory for the First Amendment in thwarting CAIR's alleged plan to "chill" free speech critical of the organization through an avalanche of court cases and legal costs.

After numerous briefings and counter-briefings that proved very costly to the defense of Air Force special agent P. David Gaubatz and his son Chris Gaubatz, who infiltrated CAIR as an intern and recovered thousands of damning documents, the organization's latest lawsuit intend to start the process all over again.

"But the new lawsuit didn't have anything substantively new," said Daniel Horowitz, one of the three lawyers for the defense. "And yet, that's their whole goal. They know they can't win the case, but they can chill the First Amendment by making it so expensive to speak against them that no one can challenge Saudi-funded CAIR. In the end, they can just keep getting more and more money from overseas and burn out opposition with lawsuits."

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia “denied as moot" CAIR's request to re-file the case.

According to the judge's decision, CAIR now has until March 1 to re-file "an appropriate motion for leave to amend."

"In terms of the First Amendment, it's a powerful ruling," Horowitz continued, "because it recognizes that by chilling free speech, you undermine it, even if you lose the case in the end. CAIR was trying to exploit that to the max, and the judge said no."


To interview attorneys Martin Garbus and Dan Horowitz or publisher Joseph Farah or obtain a review copy of Muslim Mafia, contact Maria Sliwa at (973) 272-2861 or (212) 202-4453 or media@wnd.com.

Posing as a young Muslim convert, in 2008 Chris Gaubatz served a six-month CAIR internship. Though told to shred certain documents, he instead retained them, providing key evidence for the book Muslim Mafia, published last fall by WND Books.

CAIR originally accused Chris Gaubatz of obtaining its property under false pretenses. But Joseph Farah, WorldNetDaily.com CEO and publisher of Muslim Mafia, however, asserted the material was legally obtained by Gaubatz, who had been asked by CAIR officials "to shred documents he believed might be criminal evidence … and involve matters of national security."

Furthermore, Horowitz argues, the documents were returned—and subpoenaed by the FBI to go before a federal grand jury.

Most tellingly, CAIR never disputed the book's claim that the self-described Muslim civil-rights group is a front in a conspiracy by the Egypt-based mother organization of leading worldwide terrorist groups, the Muslim Brotherhood, to pave the way for Saudi-style Islamic law in the U.S.

Horowitz noted to WND that normally, if a party believes a book is deliberately false, it will sue for defamation. In yet another blow, Horowitz argued that CAIR has no claim because it does not legally exist. The group changed its name to the Council on American-Islamic Relations Action Network almost immediately after it was named by the Justice Department as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror-finance case in U.S. history.

"Now CAIR will have to either try to explain to the court why it used a fake name to start the case, and show it was honest mistake," Horowitz continued, "or they will have to try to argue that the new lawsuit is somehow different from the old lawsuit, which I don't think it is."

Some key smoking-gun revelations detailed in Muslim Mafia include:

    • CAIR is more closely tied to al-Qaida than previously reported;

    • CAIR and its sister fronts are funded by foreign Muslim Brotherhood sources;

    • The Muslim Brotherhood investment in corporate America will be used to pressure U.S. companies into compliance with Islamic principles.

Recognize the Deceit of CAIR



John R. Houk
© February 3, 2010


If there are any devious organizations operating in America the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is certainly one of them. Critics of (radical) Islam have long associated CAIR with Islamic Terrorists (primarily Hamas) and have shown theundermining influence of the Muslim Brotherhood (aka Ikhwan) in a global conspiracy to utilize Western political and economic modes of operation to make Islam dominant and all non-Muslims submissive. The logical implication is that CAIR is a Non-Government Organization (NGO) with all the legal hoops given to a non-profit organization which CAIR uses to duplicitously establish Islam not only as a State religion but also force Islam as the moral foundation for the rule of law in America.

This unnamed agenda is shared by several other American Islamic organizations who also have links to the Muslim Brotherhood or Islamic terrorism or both. All the American Islamic organizations purport to be stalwart supporters of the American rule of law yet words and actions tell a different story.

In the case of CAIR the Muslim Brotherhood element is established by the paper and people trail its founders and leadership viewable by any who does even a little tracking. As to Islamic terrorism CAIR has been named as an unindicted co-conspirator of Muslims convicted for using the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) to funnel money to Hamas.

Typically CAIR has used legal jihad as the favorite Western judicial method of moneyed Muslims to economically terrorize critics into silence. CAIR’s latest legal jihad target are the father and son Gaubatz’s who have meticulously and clandestinely gathered smoking gun documents which expose CAIR in the tradition of the mafia and fifth column operations in America.

The unindicted co-conspirator to Hamas has used the American legal system to hinder damage by the Gaubatz and Sperry book entitled, “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America.”

I was consternated when CAIR pulled a legal maneuver to force the Gaubatz’s to return the acquired documents which were collected after Chris Gaubatz was told to destroy them. By the way that does not sound like theft, it sounds like clandestinely removing something from the trash. The police and identity thieves do that all the time. Fortunately the FBI got a Grand Jury to issue a warrant for the CAIR/Gaubatz documents before they could get their cover-up hands on them.

Now that you have this tidbit of rehashing CAIR vs the Gaubatz’s, you need to share the outrage WorldNetDaily (WND) founder Joseph Farah feels toward the major media outlets (which includes FOX News). You should be outraged along side Farah that the Mainstream Media (MSM) news networks have not reported on CAIR and their legal jihad against the Gaubatz’s.

Farah claims the shows have had CAIR mouth pieces on the news but not David or Chris Gaubatz nor co-author Paul Sperry. Is it fear of legal jihad? Is it fear of political correctness (PC)? PC would a critical analysis of CAIR might be hate-speech or Islamophobic bigotry. OR is there something even more heinous in the major news networks ignoring the Muslim Mafia and the CAIR civil suit?

When I say, “heinous” I am implying the major news networks might receive a few dimes from interested wealthy Muslims which either makes the networks reluctant to expose an Islamic fifth column or are potentially in cahoots in a capitalistic venture. I am all for capitalism; however if a few corporate capitalists are willing to sell-out American culture or allow government subversion to take hold, in that case I would be furious. As an American on the Left, Right or the degrees of in between, you are outraged at American businesses making money at the expense of American culture and American Constitutional rights, aren’t you?

CAIR is the Enemy of Everything American

All Mainstream Media (MSM) outlets (including FOX News) have been failing to report on one of the most obvious National Security and cultural threats to America since the defunct Marxist/Leninist Soviet Union attempted a Fifth Column infiltration. That failure has to do with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and its connections to West hating Muslim Brotherhood and violent Jew-hating terrorist organization known as Hamas.

CAIR was infiltrated on a non-law enforcement sting by the Gaubatz family who were able to collect damning evidence covertly of CAIR’s subversive activities against America in favor of a radical Islamic agenda. Gaubatz son and daughter were able to pull off a fake conversion to Islam and amazingly became privy to files of CAIR’s inner workings of which many are illegal.

The Father - Dave Gaubatz - teamed up with author Paul Sperry to disseminate the covertly acquired data into the book “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld that's Conspiring to Islamize America.”

The media failure is in ignoring the verifiable data in “Muslim Mafia.” The enormity of this failure increased when CAIR attempted to use the wealthy Muslim tactic of Jihad Lawfare (aka Legal Jihad).

Because of this media failure whenever I come across a good essay or update concerning the “Muslim Mafia” I will post it. Here is one such essay entitled, “Much Ado About CAIR.”

Much Ado About CAIR

By Deborah Weiss

Is it a mainstream Muslim civil rights organization, an illegal lobbying firm, a terrorist front group or all of the above?

In the eye-opening new book titled Muslim Mafia, former federal investigator Dave Gaubatz and Paul Sperry (author of Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives Have Penetrated Washington) provide an inside look into the controversial tax-exempt organization known as Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

In a brazen display of courage, Dave’s son, Chris, feigned conversion to Islam and loyalty to its radical tenets. After winning over the trust of CAIR’s top leaders and inner circles, Chris Gaubatz aka David Marshall became privy to the private meetings and secret documents of this notorious organization. Muslim Mafia tells the story of what Chris and his cohorts discover when they infiltrate the infiltrators.

During a six month sting operation, during which time he earned an award from CAIR, Chris was tasked with shredding confidential documents. But instead, he brought them home for examination. He taped conversations, researched court documents, and investigated the organization’s finances, goals, strategies and key players. What he found is both fascinating and frightening.

Muslim Mafia portrays CAIR as nothing less than America’s fifth column. It is part of a network of organizations including ISNA, NAIT, MSA, and others which front for the Muslim Brotherhood and conspire to incrementally Islamize the west. The Muslim Brotherhood’s goal is to sabotage the United States from within, and its main weapon is deceit.

The book demonstrates that CAIR is anything but a true civil rights organization. Rather, it constitutes a turnstile for terrorist-supporters and victimizes mainstream Muslims who seek its aid. It has penetrated major US institutions, derailed counterterrorism training programs, placed moles in law enforcement agencies, and advised mosque-goers to remain silent in the face of FBI investigations.

Sadly, political correctness in collusion with Islamic radicalism has weakened America’s national security. Indeed, some in the FBI notified CAIR in advance of its raids, rendering the raids useless. And until recently, the FBI and other law enforcement agencies employed CAIR to provide “sensitivity training” to their agents, teaching them how to refrain from offending terrorist suspects held in custody. Field agents complained that higher ups seemed more concerned about appeasing organizations with terrorist ties than actually investigating them.

Recently, in the largest terrorism trial in the US, where several defendants were convicted and sent to jail, CAIR and ISNA were named unindicted co-conspirators. Despite this, aspects of law enforcement persist in “Muslim outreach” to these same organizations.

Political correctness is also causing America to lose control of framing the issues for the war on terror. And generally, those who frame the debate win it. Yet, succumbing to Islamist propaganda, the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center have distributed memos to their employees dissuading them from using a host of words and phrases ranging from “jihad” to “Islamic terrorism”. If America can’t name her enemies and discuss them, neither can she produce a strategy to defeat them.

It is progress that the FBI finally cut ties with CAIR subsequent to the Holy Land Foundation trial. It is also encouraging that some Congressmen are calling for an investigation of CAIR. However, much work remains. Muslim Brotherhood fronts are still infiltrating other areas of society including corporations, banks, courts, academia and media. Their persuasion tactics range from political donations and carefully crafted public relations messages to lies, propaganda, economic boycotts, name-calling, bogus lawsuits and veiled threats.

For example, CAIR affiliates have managed to obtain congressional staff positions. CAIR still works closely with some congressional offices, drafting legislation and otherwise targeting key committees to influence policy. Among its goals are to strip America of her counterterrorism tools, eliminate immigration restrictions from high risk Muslim countries, outlaw profiling, criminalize criticism of Islam, abolish aid to Israel, and withdraw US troops from both Iraq and Afghanistan. Some politicians share CAIR’s anti-freedom and anti-national security sentiments. Others have been the recipients of purposeful disinformation campaigns by various Muslim Brotherhood front groups that pose as mainstream.

The Pentagon’s Muslim Chaplain program exemplifies another Muslim Brotherhood success story. It was started by Alamoudi, then-head of the Muslim American Society, while he simultaneously raised money for Al-Qaeda. The program provided the Pentagon’s stamp of approval to radical imams. Though Alamoudi now sits in jail, the program he started remains in place.

The Treasury Department and Wall Street are the next targets for Islamists. They are pushing for sharia-compliant financing, the instruments of which are precluded from dealing with alcohol, pork, and any business with Israel. Dispute resolution must be handled by sheiks who are expert in sharia law, rather than by the SEC. The goal is to create a parallel financial system at odds with American values and lacking government accountability. Worse, a portion of the earnings from sharia-compliant financing goes to “Islamic charities” many of which are questionable at best. Never-the-less, the Treasury Department offered its first course titled “Islamic Banking 101” earlier this year.

Allowing Muslims and others of all faiths to immigrate to America and enjoy her way of life is the American way. But America cannot not allow her freedom of religion to be turned on its head and used against her. She ought not accommodate radicals who demand respect for the intolerant, attempt to reduce national security, restrict freedom of speech or ultimately seek the merging of mosque and state.

America must do more than merely defend herself from her enemies. She must be pro-active. America cannot not wait for another 9/11 or until CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood front groups achieve their objectives. She must act now before it is too late.

Muslim Mafia is a fascinating read which, at a minimum, raises critical issues that demand to be asked and answered. To support its claims, it details copious citations from court records, declassified FBI documents, interviews with government officials, counterterrorism expertise, and internal CAIR memos. Get the book and become informed. America’s freedom and national security depend on it.

CAIR Resorts to Legal Jihad – Again



John R. Houk
© November 4, 2009


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...

World Net Daily
Sent: 11/3/2009 10:21 AM


(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.

To book Sperry, contact Tim Bueler (530) 401-3285 media@wnd.com. For more details, visit http://www.muslimmafia.com/.

"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."
