Lawsuits keeping things lively for CAIR, Michael Savage, Mark Steyn

So I'm skimming through Michael Savage's defamation complaint against CAIR (tailwag to LGF) and I hit paragraph 30 and I think, whoa, I gotta blog that:

30. As set forth herein, CAIR is not a civil rights organization but is instead a political organization designed to advance a political agenda that is directly opposed to the existence of a free society that includes respect and dignity for all people and all religions.

The copyright infringement herein is part of this plan. CAIR’s fundamental purpose is to be a lobbyist for foreign interests.

31. The Foreign Agents Registration Act requires registration as an agent of a foreign principal when an organization acts on the order, request, or under the direction or control of a foreign principal, or whose activities are directed by a foreign principal when that person engages in political activities for or in the interests of such foreign principal or acts in a public relations capacity for a foreign principal.

32. CAIR would have to register as a foreign agent if their activities were not hidden under the false claim that they are a civil rights organization that enjoys tax exempt status.

33. The theft of the copyright material from “The Savage Nation” and the publicity campaign associated with the theft is part of the deception by CAIR by which it seeks to avoid registration and attempts to keep its tax exempt status.

34. CAIR while claiming in its paperwork to be a civil rights organization was in fact co-founded in 1994 by Ibrahim Hooper, Nihad Awad, and Omar Ahmad, all of whom had close ties to the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), which was established by senior Hamas operative Mousa Abu Marzook.

ON THE OTHER HAND, looks like the Canadian equivalent of CAIR is suing Maclean's magazine over a Mark Steyn column, claiming Islamophobia.
