We have a new development in SANE’s effort to counter the
convergence between the Western Elite who would destroy national existence for a
transnational or even supranational one world order on the one hand, and the Shariah-driven
Muslim mujahideen fighting and “striving” for a one world order of their
own—the Caliphate. The convergence between these two very real forces is personified
and given effect in the current administration's domestic and foreign policies.
The SANE Board of Trustees has just recently authorized a more
invigorated and focused legal assault on both of these converging fronts by establishing
a public interest law firm in association with the Law Offices of David Yerushalmi,
P.C. As it is, Mr. Yerushalmi has dedicated a huge portion of his firm’s resources
to these legal battles pro bono. A list of just the most recent pro bono
work is impressive:
- Murray v. Geithner
et al. (U.S.
District Court, E.D. MI): Lawsuit against the Treasury and Fed challenging
its takeover of AIG on the grounds that tax payer funds are going directly to
support Shariah in the form of AIG’s Shariah-compliant insurance businesses.
- Lopez et al
v. CAIR/Saiyed v. CAIR (U.S. District Court, D.C.): Now three
separate fraud-racketeeribng cases against the Council on American-Islamic Relations
(CAIR), the Hamas-Muslim Brotherhood front group operating in the U.S. as a fund
raising arm for global jihad.
- Stop the Madrassa v. Almontaser (NY App. Div. 2nd
Dept.): Defamation action by NY grass roots community coalition suing
the former principal of a NY “Arab language and culture” public school,
who sought to silence the school’s critics with false allegations of criminal
behavior. The school Almontaser designed was in effect a CAIR-Muslim Brotherhood
incubator.
- Representing former CIA agent and now Iranian
expert researcher against subpoena issued by agents of the Iranian government.
- Representing Customs and Border Protections
Officer in whistleblower disclosures when Obama administration issues policy directives
for officers not
to connect the terror dots.
- Representing
local law enforcement first responders throughout the U.S. when sued or charged
with Islamaphobia by Muslim Brotherhood allies.
- Representing
several policy think tanks when confronted with threatened legal action by groups
aligned with Leftists and Muslim Brotherhood organizations.
In
the coming editions of the SANE Email Update, we will develop this idea of SANE
as the first public interest law firm with the distinct focus on national existence
and the battle against the convergence of the Elite and the Shariah-faithful. In
the meantime, following is a press release on the most recent lawsuits filed against
CAIR:

January
13, 2010 – Washington, DC: Five former clients of the Council on American-Islamic
Relations (CAIR) have filed two separate lawsuits in federal court alleging criminal
fraud and breach of fiduciary duty against CAIR, a self-described Muslim public
interest civil rights law firm. These two lawsuits follow an earlier lawsuit which
had also alleged that CAIR’s fraudulent conduct amounted to racketeering,
a federal RICO crime. In that case, the court dismissed the RICO counts concluding
that CAIR’s conduct as alleged was fraudulent but not a technical violation
of RICO. The plaintiffs in that case have appealed and are awaiting the Circuit
Court’s briefing schedule.
The two new federal civil complaints were
filed in the federal district court for the District of Columbia on January 6,
2010, and served on January 13, 2010.
Both lawsuits arise out of the same facts.
The lawsuits allege that Morris Days, the “Resident Attorney” and “Manager
for Civil Rights” at the now defunct CAIR MD/VA chapter in Herndon, Virginia,
was in fact not an attorney and that he failed to provide legal services for clients
who came to CAIR for legal representation. CAIR knew of this fraud and purposefully
conspired with Days to keep the CAIR clients from discovering that their legal
matters were being mishandled or not handled at all.
While attorney David
Yerushalmi represents the five plaintiffs in these two lawsuits, three of whom
are Muslim Americans, the complaints allege that according to CAIR internal documents,
there were hundreds of victims of the CAIR fraud scheme.
According to the complaints,
CAIR knew or should have known that Days was not a lawyer when it hired him. But,
like many criminal organizations, things got worse when CAIR officials were confronted
with clear evidence of Days’ fraudulent conduct. Rather than come clean and
attempt to rectify past wrongs, CAIR conspired with Days to conceal and further
the fraud.
To this end, CAIR officials purposefully concealed the truth
about Days from their clients, law enforcement, the Virginia and D.C. state bar
associations, and the media. When CAIR did get irate calls from clients about Days’
failure to provide competent legal services, CAIR fraudulently deceived their clients
about Days’ relationship to CAIR, suggesting he was never actually employed
by CAIR, and even concealed the fact that CAIR had fired him once some of the victims
began threatening to sue.
“The evidence has long suggested
that CAIR is a criminal organization set up by the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas
to further its aims of stealth Jihad in the U.S.,” Mr. Yerushalmi said referring
to the fact that CAIR has been named by the federal government as an unindicted
co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror financing trial. In addition,
several of CAIR’s top executives have been convicted of terror-related crimes.
As a result, the FBI has publicly announced that it has terminated any outreach
activities with the national organization, which bills itself as “America's
largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization.”
“As
it turns out, CAIR is America’s largest Muslim criminal organization whose
criminal activities know no bounds,” Yerushalmi continued.
“According
to the facts as carefully laid out in both complaints,” Yerushalmi explained,
“CAIR has engaged in a massive criminal fraud in which literally hundreds
of CAIR clients have been victimized and because of the CAIR cover-up they still
don’t realize it. The fact that CAIR has victimized Muslims and non-Muslims
alike demonstrates that CAIR is only looking out for CAIR and its ongoing effort
to bilk donors out of millions of dollars of charitable donations thinking they
are supporting a legitimate organization.”
The complaint also alleges
that in addition to covering up the fraud scheme, CAIR forced angry clients who
were demanding a return of their legal fees to sign a release that bought the client-victims’
silence by prohibiting them from informing law enforcement or the media about the
fraud. According to the agreement, if the “settling” clients said anything
to anyone about the fraud scheme, CAIR would be able to sue them for $25,000.
This
enforced code of silence left hundreds of CAIR’s victims in the dark such
that to this day they have not learned that Days was not an attorney and that he
had not filed the legal actions on their behalf for which CAIR publicly claimed
credit. Days has since died of a lung complication.
The original RICO complaint
now on appeal, filed on behalf of four of the five current plaintiffs, identifies
CAIR as a racketeering enterprise under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act (RICO), which is a criminal racketeering statute that allows
victims to sue defendants in civil court. In addition to damages, the plaintiffs
sought injunctive relief under this and other statutes to shut down CAIR and to
prevent the individual defendants from engaging in public interest legal work in
the future.
Mr. Yerushalmi, who is also handling the appeal of the RICO
claims, believes the chances are good for a reversal: “The judge dismissed
the RICO counts but specifically allowed the refiling of the fraud and breach of
fiduciary duty claims. We believe that we will win the appeal and will then be
permitted also to proceed on the racketeering charges.”
While the new lawsuits
only name the Council on American-Islamic Relations Action Network Inc. (dba CAIR),
the RICO suit also names Nihad Awad aka Nihad Hammad who serves as executive director
of CAIR National; Parvez Ahmed who was the chairman of the board of CAIR National
during the relevant time period; Tahra Goraya who was the national director of
CAIR but who has since resigned; Khadijah Athman who is the manager of the “civil
rights” division of CAIR; and Nadhira al-Khalili, Esq., who is in-house legal
counsel for CAIR.
According to the complaint, CAIR’s in-house
Washington, D.C.-based attorney Al-Khalili was directly involved in taking the
legal files out of the CAIR Virginia office and concealing them in the D.C. office.
Also named as defendants in the RICO complaint are Ibrahim Hooper
and Amina Rubin, CAIR’s director of communications and coordinator of communications,
respectively. According to the complaint, these two were directly responsible for
issuing fraudulent press releases about the fraud scheme, thus aiding and abetting
the CAIR cover-up.
