| CAIR Files Lawsuit Against Anti-CAIR Founder | |
| 2004-04-03 | |
On March, 31, 2004, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) filed suit in the City of Virginia Beach, VA against Andrew Whitehead, one of the founders of Anti-Council on American Islamic Relations (ACAIR). In the lawsuit, CAIR is suing for libel and has asked for One Million Dollars in compensatory damages and Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars in punitive damages. In addition, unspecified costs, attorney fees and interest are asked for. CAIR has requested a trial by jury. ACAIR founder Andrew Whitehead issued the following statement: âWe believe that the truth is an absolute defense against a charge of defamation and we fully intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these charges. We look forward to having our day in court.â Anti-CAIR intends to continue our mission of exposing CAIRâs connection to militant Islam.

| #11 We have our documentation, proof that CAIR has ties with Hamas and other terror organizations, as well as "good friends." CAIR will rue the day when they find out what we know and what damning evidence we have against them. |

| #10 Yeah, but the jury's only 12 people, and women are 1/2 of men - won't work. Gee, I wonder what Americans would think if the jury is made up of 12 muslim men? |

| #9 CAIR will have to prove thatdamage to their reputation or some kind of harm to them will have been done. Also they will have to show actual malice on the part of the defendent, which means that the defendent knowingly broadcast or published innacuracies about the plaintiff. Armed with the truth, the defendendents should stomp their asses. Picking a jury should be interesting. I'm sure that CAIR would like to stack the jury with Muslims. Heh heh. This may be a golden opportunity to expose CAIR for who they are. |

| #8 Isn't the discovery phase what scares most of these nefarious operators from going through with libel suits? |

| #7 Counter-sue Andrew....you have the documentation on your side from a number of sources. Hope you gets lots of money but, the humiliation factor is the top prize. |

| #5 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought punitive damages are supposed to be the higher amount, not the other way around. They must be using Saddam's French lawyer...... |

| #4 Adriane - Overlapped with you... You're right: truth doesn't mean shit to Islam, but going to jail prolly does. Particularly for people who live the good life that CAIR's leadership does. The biggest benny would be exposing these cretins for terror-enabling assholes so the US Gov't agencies stop relying upon them. Insane, but true. *head shake* |

| #3 Right on, Frank... being under oath is a dangerous game for CAIR reps. I hope Hooper (Hmmm, did the term asshat come into existence after someone got a good look at this 'tard?) gets burned - he really pisses me off -- a traitorous version of our buddy Saeb Erakat. I went throughout the ACAIR website and I don't see where CAIR has a legal leg to stand on - the proof has been accumulating too long. I hope ACAIR is well funded - you know CAIR has a bottomless bucket 'o Saudi petrodollars at its command. |

| #2 Why would it matter to them? Lying to infidels for the advancement of Islam is an acceptable part of their religion. |

| #1 CAIR has opened a can of worms here and will undoubtedly drop this once they realize they might have to be deposed under oath. Should be fun |
