In a letter sent Via Facsimile to Ron Robinson (Young America's Foundation) CAIR's Attorney has threatened to initiate a law suit should Robert Spencer address YAF's 29th Annual National Conservative Student Conference. today at George Washington University.
Last evening when this letter was brought to our attention, a letter was sent by e-mail to Joseph Sandler, Esq. alerting him to the fact that CAIR has previously threatened others with legal action in an effort to stop events from taking place. In our letter we write, "...An Attorney should not be accepting employment when he knows or it is obvious to that person that desires to hire him, desires to institute an action merely for the purposes of harassing or maliciously injuring another." EC 2-29
An Attorney has an Ethical Duty to refrain from behavior such as this and once we learned of this, we sent a copy of our e-mail to Katherine Mazzaferri, Esq. of the District of Columbia Bar Assn. "The integrity of the legal profession can be maintained only if conduct of lawyers in violation of Disciplinary Rules is brought to the attention of proper officials." EC 1-4
Robert Spencer who has addressed other groups has previously argued that todays Terrorists and Islamic Extremists have targeted American interests adding, "The texts of Islamic Jurisprudence says its incumbent upon the Islamic community to wage war against non-Muslims until they submit or convert." (Heritage Foundation Lecture, November, 2006)
CAIR is litigious and has frequently used the Courts in the past to harass and intimidate others, for example in 2004 CAIR filed suit against Andrew Whitehead in Virgina (CAIR v. Andrew Whitehead, Case No. CL04-926) in which CAIR's law suit was dismissed. In Court filings that we have reviewed, the Court was advised about CAIR's long and undistinguished activities in which they have been involved in over the years.
Michelle Malkin has written today in her Blog, "Where are all the free speech activists when you need them? Well, when it comes to protecting the free speech of those who criticize the jihad and its apologists, the free-speech protectors are hiding under their bed covers..."
Urban Grounds Blog has written, "...CAIR is threatening legal action...Its nothing more than an attempt to stomp on free speech rights..."
From 1986-1989 Joseph Sandler served as Staff Counsel for the Democratic Natl. Committee (DNC) and from 1989-1993 he handled campaign and election law matters for the DNC and from 1993 through the present, he serves as Staff Counsel for the DNC now through his law firm.
When you lie down with Dogs, you get up with Fleas. Democrats are in bed with CAIR the apologist for Islamic Fascists and supporter of Terrorists organizations like Hamas.
