Misleading statement by Dr. Pipes...

Dr. Pipes:

You state in your weblog that CAIR is described in a recent court case as "a terrorist supporting front organization that is partially funded by terrorists, and that CAIR wishes nothing more than the implementation of Sharia law in America." In point of fact, this "description" is an *accusation* by Andrew Whitebread and Anti-CAIR. ...

[But] the whole point of legal pleadings and discovery is competing advocacy. How can one expect a complaint or discovery requests to offer an impartial analysis of an issue? On the contrary, they're inherently and necessarily one-sided, and any accusations therein remain accusations until and unless proven. Impartial analysis is the court's/judge's job. ...

Respectfully,

Amjad M. Khan, Esq.
