| #2 Without seeing the confidential agreement it is almost pure speculation to claim this as either a victory for terrorists or a defeat for terrorists. The imans may have won a few thousand dollars (or maybe only a few hundred). If so, it doesn't begin to cover their legal costs. There was no apology from any of the defendants and that is a good thing. There doesn't seem to be a payment to the imans attorneys and that is also a good thing. Probably both sides will go back to the drawing board. The law enforcement side will look to do a better job of documentation during their actions and will have to avoid using the word 'arrest'. The imans will look at a way of terrorizing infidels without goading Congress into passing another anti terrorism measure. |

| #1 --- After a congressional bill – drawn up specifically in response to CAIR's and the imams' insistence on suing regular citizens reporting suspicious activity – was passed, the passengers were dropped from the case. But Awad wasn't too happy about that, condemning the bill's sponsor, Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y. "Now the allegation is that we are targeting innocent civilians," Awad said. "What we are trying to do is target those that knowingly made false allegations because of their anti-Muslim sentiments. Terrorists always attack innocent civilians, otherwise they are not worthy of that designation. Allegations of anti-Muslim sentiments are an essential weapon of Muslim terrorists. For ONCE, Congress came through on the side of good sense. --- If everyone is sued, then everyone also gets a chance to force 'discovery', by subpoenaing everybody else remotely connected to the case. |
