CAIR Changes Suit - Give Us the Racists and We’ll Leave You Alone

After a huge amount of criticism was directed at the legal jihad of CAIR and the six non-flying imams, CAIR has decided to try another line of attack. Instead of suing everyone who reported the deliberately suspicious behavior of the imams, now CAIR says they’re only going to sue the racists.

That’s right; the hate-filled antisemitic leader of CAIR, who supports Hamas and Hizballah, is setting himself up as the judge of who’s “racist” and who isn’t, and plans to drag people into court who were simply trying to protect themselves in an age of Islamic terrorism. And he’s using the latest leftist multicultural lingo as cover for the intimidation. These people really are despicable.

A group of imams suing US Airways for discrimination amended their lawsuit this week to target only the “John Doe” passengers who they say are racist and falsely accused them of behaving suspiciously.

The six imams were removed from a flight in Minneapolis in November for disruptive behavior reported by passengers and members of the flight crew. The lawsuit filed earlier this month targeted “passengers who contacted US Airways to report the alleged ‘suspicious’ behavior of plaintiffs performing their prayer at the airport terminal.” The amended lawsuit identifies possible John Does as individuals who “may have made false reports against plaintiffs solely with the intent to discriminate against them on the basis of their race, religion, ethnicity and national origin.”

“The only individuals against whom suit may be raised in this litigation are those who may have knowingly made false reports against the imams with the intent to discriminate against them,” Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), said in a letter this week to the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, a public interest law firm. The Becket Fund had publicly condemned CAIR for supporting the case.

“The imams will not sue any passengers who reported suspicious activity in good faith, even when the ‘suspicious’ behavior included the imams’ constitutionally protected right to practice their religion without fear or intimidation,” Mr. Nihad said. “When a person makes a false report with the intent to discriminate, he or she is not acting in good faith.”
