An otherwise unremarkable hearing in the Fairfax County, Virginia, general district court last Thursday marked an ominous trend with respect to the cherished American judicial principles of the rule of law and equality before the law. The hearing on four misdemeanor charges against Dr. Mustafa Ahmed Abbasi featured all of the usual players — judge, bailiff, clerks, prosecutors, police officers, criminal attorneys, and defendant — but with one notable addition to the judicial drama, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).I know. So what else is new?
CAIR’s intervention in the Abbasi case is a manifestation of a larger campaign against law enforcement to use political alliances and legal threats to intimidate police in cases involving Muslim defendants and to establish separate and preferable treatment for Muslims in the American legal system....
Nevertheless, read the Patricke Poole's entire article HERE. Is CAIR harassing the Fairfax County Police Department? And what's going on in your local police department? Does CAIR has a presence there?
Lately people have been celebrating the exit of some of the major players in CAIR, as if it signals the breakup of CAIR.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so.
I think we are seeing a mutation.
CAIR seems to be at the beginning of a new direction.
A mutation perhaps. May Brad Thor forgive me, but CAIR could mutate or spawn a newer better prepared faction, FAIR (Federation of American Islamic Relations)or some such, keeping the original contacts without any of the negative labels following.
ReplyDeleteI think that's what we're seeing here, Babba.
