Despite thousands of protest emails, phone
calls and petition signatures, Best Buy continues to hide behind
diversity-speak in defense of their "platinum sponsorship" of the
Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) – support first documented by Islamist Watch. Best Buy should be in
the business of selling televisions, computers and washing machines, rather
than supporting radical groups tied to Hamas by the United States government. Their obstinacy is stunning.
Dr. Zuhdi
Jasser, a leading voice for moderate Muslims, appeared on the Fox News
Channel, May 12, 2012, to discuss the growing protest movement against
Best Buy and the problems with Islamist groups such as CAIR.
Fox News
Channel, The Jerusalem Post and The Daily Caller are the latest media outlets to cover
the story, which went viral after activists on the Islamist
Watch email subscriber list got the ball rolling. Please sign this boycott
petition which has already garnered over 11,000 signatures.
"Like" the petition link on Facebook and/or forward the address to
friends and family.

**Update** CAIR's Lawfare Fails:
After the Fox News segment, PetitionBuzz.com was
threatened with a lawsuit unless they removed the boycott
Best Buy petition. In fact, the petition was removed for a number of
hours. But when it was proven that the facts were true (truth is an absolute
defense in defamation lawsuits), PetitionBuzz.com put the petition back up.
Lawfare is a common tactic used by Islamists to silence
their critics. They file baseless, predatory lawsuits that are eventually
dismissed. But the cost of defending against them is often prohibitive – just
the threat of a lawsuit can be an effective bullying tactic. The Middle East
Forum's Legal Project
promotes free speech by assisting in the defense of lawfare victims.
