#1 If one side is wrong, there is no requirement that the media provide sympathetic coverage half the time in fairness ... but CNN will probably try. The would grant Adolph Hitler a favorable interview if they could get the Oiji board tuned properly.

It is interesting that the lawyer isn't asking for a blackout. He says he wants limited coverage, but he doesn't. He wants a big show. He is grandstanding. If the judge blacked the whole thing out he would leak and leak and then complain about all the leaking.

#2 As with the Anti-CAIR lawsuit, I hope like Hell that the defense requests proctological levels of discovery. The background, funding and known associates of these Islamic scumbags need to be put under a microscope and dissected with tweezers. Islamic lawfare is already commonplace as it is. We need to make it extremely uncomfortable for Muslims who seek to play the Islamophobia card on the public's dime.

#3 And like the DC judge who sued for $56 million for lost trousers, let them pay court costs for their silliness. BIG court costs.

#4 "While it is regrettable that anonymous individuals have threatened violence, the Court Security Officers will insure that the United States Courthouse here in Minneapolis is secure."

Secure until you get two steps from the stairs, that is.

#5 These gleeful fools thought that they could use the courts to pull the pants of the infidels down and make a quick buck. Apparently they have never heard the saying that, "You enter court as a pig, you leave as sausage."

#6 "While it is regrettable that anonymous individuals have threatened violence, the Court Security Officers will insure that the United States Courthouse here in Minneapolis is secure."

As secure as the basement of the Dallas Police Headquarters. Right Lee?

#8 "Mohammedi said he and his clients have received death threats, partly because of biased coverage by most media outlets."
That may be, but I am willing to bet the larger part of the threats is simply because the general American public sees these douchbags for what they are: douchbags. (apologies to all good law abiding douchbags everywhere)

#9 Omar Shahin and the Islamic Center of Tucson
In examining the Nov. 21 incident more closely, we find that among those removed, Shahin, heads a particularly intriguing organization. Founded in 1971, the ICTs $1.5 million mosque was funded largely by the Saudi government through the North American Islamist Trust, a Saudi-backed Wahhabist group that controls a majority of the most radical mosques in North America.

According to Washington-based terrorist expert Rita Katz, the Islamic Center of Tucson included what was basically the first cell of Al Qaeda in the United States. The connections between Al Qaeda and the ICT include Wael Hamza Jalaidan, a former ICT president, believed to be an Al Qaeda founder, and Hani Hanjour, who attended the mosque while a student at the University of Arizona and who later flew American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon on 9/11. Wadih El-Hage, a personal assistant to terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden, was active with the ICT in the late 1980s where he is alleged to have established an Al Qaeda support network, according to the FBI. In 2001, El Hage was convicted by a federal judge in New York of planning the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

Besides nurturing ICT activists who have gone on to become bone fide terrorists, the Islamic Center of Tucson has played a prominent role in raising money for terrorist front groups. The ICT raised money for the Holy Land Foundation, whose assets were frozen by the U.S. Treasury in 2001 for alleged ties to terrorist groups. Following the treasury action, ICT Imam Omar Shahin continued to defend the organization and its charitable intent. Further, Shahin had been a representative of KindHearts, an organization that made contributions to Hamas-related groups and was also shut down by the U.S. government for alleged connections to terrorist causes.

#10 Tnak you for the important reminder, ed. Small wonder these turds are receiving death threats. Let's all hope that they are incredibly stupid enough to comply with the discovery phase. Any takers on this whole case folding during discovery?
