CAIR Files Lawsuit Against Anti-CAIR
Founder
On March, 31, 2004, the Council on American Islamic
Relations (CAIR) filed suit in the City of Virginia Beach, VA against Andrew
Whitehead, one of the founders of Anti-Council on American
Islamic Relations (ACAIR).
In the lawsuit, CAIR is suing for libel
and has asked for One Million Dollars in compensatory damages and Three
Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars in punitive damages.
In addition, unspecified costs, attorney fees and interest are asked
for. CAIR
has requested a trial by jury.
ACAIR founder Andrew Whitehead issued the following
statement:
“We believe
that the truth is an absolute defense against a charge of defamation and
we fully intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these charges. We look forward to having our day in court.”
Anti-CAIR intends to continue our mission
of exposing
CAIR’s connection to militant Islam.
