| Oriana Fallaci, RIP, was a prime example of this abuse of Western legal institutions against us. This is an important topic... another vector of the pathogen and one that can silence those with the stones to inform the dullards. Jeff does a nice job. |

| #9 Can't these countries keep busy enough enforcing their laws inside their own countries? Probably, but it doesn't help when US leftist legal teams file their lawsuits in European courts in order to attack US national security measures. |

| #8 Doesn't this pair up with German "universal jurisdiction" on war crimes? Can't these countries keep busy enough enforcing their laws inside their own countries? |

| #7 "Surrealism" is the wrong word. "Fascism" is the right one. Hokay. Works for me. |

| #6 A US-UK agreement on process abuse by aliens should be in the works or this use of UK courts to advance Wahabi aggression and enable confiscation of profits from US writers, will never end. Never happen. The British politicos would have to side with the US against Muslims to do it. |

| #5 Surrealism has now entered the courtroom. This is nothing short of intimidation or silencing of those authors who have the courage to expose questionable or dangerous practices. "Surrealism" is the wrong word. "Fascism" is the right one. If you hold unpopular views and give a speech on campus, the college-aged thugs will shout you down, assault you, and you will be blamed. If you hold unpopular views and write a book about it, the better-financed and older thugs will sue you even if they have to have your book shipped across the world to find a friendly court. |

| #4 UK lawyers are notorious for coercing results for corrupt clients, by filing endless pre trial Motions. Not only do these cost money, work time loss costs jobs. Imagine filing a trans-Atlantic affidavit, being cross-examined on same, returning home, and then facing a Motion to squelch the Affidavit. And any victory would be subject to endless appeals. A US-UK agreement on process abuse by aliens should be in the works or this use of UK courts to advance Wahabi aggression and enable confiscation of profits from US writers, will never end. |

| #3 Oh, they'll push gun control verging on confiscation before pushing this issue too much further I think. |

| #2 Surrealism has now entered the courtroom. This is nothing short of intimidation or silencing of those authors who have the courage to expose questionable or dangerous practices. Islam is a prime candidate and it is quite obvious that its proponents are utilizing England's Victorian libel laws in an attempt to stifle exposure of same here in the United States. If American courts refuse to stand up for our constitutional rights, they had better be prepared for some extreme civil disobedience. |
