Hamas-CAIR Chicago goes legal, claims it owns “my jihad” (lol)

55

CAIR Chicago is trying to stop our counter campaign to their bizarre jihad propaganda. Silence freedom of speech. Sharia enforcement.

I received a "cease and desist" letter from Hamas-CAIR's Ahmed Rehab (Mr. Jihad), claiming ownership of "my jihad." Tell that to the millions of Muslims waging jihad in the cause of Islam.

Litigation jihad — that's Ahmed's jihad, what's yours?

Story continues below advertisement

The imperialistic and supremacist group is claiming ownership of holy war and what amounts to a hashtag (#myjihad). Is that a first? They love using American law to crush American freedoms. In this case of parody (as in most things), Hamas-CAIR Chicago is overreaching and out of control, but there is always some hungry lawyer eager to line his pockets with myjihad dollars (and AFDI's).

Hamas-CAIR has been encouraging people to use the hashtag #myjihad — did they really think they could say who, what, where and when? Typical Islamic supremacism.

And yes, they will be hearing from our legal team, David Yerushalmi and Robert Muise, AFLC.

They can’t own words otherwise we would have to pay to use a dictionary. They interpretted the hash tag as being a meaningful word group. This opens opportunities for you. Some suggestions are #miJihad, #myyJihad, #whoCAIRs, #theirJihad, http://www.myjihad.fm, http://www.theirJihad.biz.
On myJihad.fm you could broadcast speeches on demand, recorded quotes of dipsticks in Egypt incriminating themselves interspersed with a licensed copy of a few select Pink Floyd songs like the entire “Wall” album.
This opens a door to drain their law department, thank you very much. http://www.theirjihad.biz would be a website of news stories that document how much Islam profits from murder and US govt. infiltration and how people can donate to help you.
God bless you.

Interesting, in a sense they’re also suing over the meaning of the word jihad. Since they could claim jihad means ‘inner struggle’. Either way, ‘myjihad’ is not unique enough to be considered a trademark, so good luck genociders.
Heck Pam in the rare cause you lose, you could always start a “TheirJihad” campaign. lol

Actually, the originator of the term #MyJihad is Adolph Hitler. He named his book “Mein Kampf”, which is a German translation of the Quranic term.
I do agree with Hamas-CAIR, though, that there is absolutely no difference between American Mohammedanism and Nazism.

What a stupid and arrogant bunch of dirtbags. It’s as if they’ve never lived among civilized people in their lives.
In the meantime, be sure to get them for a frivolous lawsuit, make them pay for the lawyers and court costs AND for damages/emotional distress, including an attempt to restrict your constitutional rights (First Amendment, obviously).
Make them PAY. It could cost them tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in the long run.
In fact, we should have a class-action lawsuit against CAIR for emotional distress, as their behavior causes me grief and pain every day, since I am VERY worried about the U.S. becoming Islamized and my children being enslaved under Islamic domination, as threatened by the Islamonazi scumbags at CAIR.
“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”
– Omar M. Ahmad, founder of Council on American-Islamic Relations (“CAIR”) July 4, 1998
“I wouldn’t want to create the impression that I wouldn’t like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future… But I’m not going to do anything violent to promote that. I’m going to do it through education.”
-Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR
“Ultimately, we (Muslims) can never be full citizens of this country…because there is no way we can be fully committed to the institutions and ideologies of this country.”
– Ihsan Bagby, CAIR
“Did Mohammed order the killing of Jews? He didn’t order it. Sa’ad ibn Mu’aadh (RA) ordered that punishment. It was a correct one.” –Dawud Walid, CAIR, via Twitter (6/4/12)
As a woman, I am HORRIFIED constantly by the blatant sexism and misogyny of Islam – it is evident every day, with attacks on women globally. I feel stressed and threatened by the mere existence of Islam – who can I sue? Seriously?
As someone who has Jewish relatives, I am also stressed by the rabid Jew-hatred, as in the CAIR quote above.
Let the lawsuits fly in the other direction. Drive these anti-American sleazebags out of their Islamosupremacist business once and for all.
Gee, CAIR, you just can’t understand why millions of Americans HATE YOU? Really? You’re SOCIOPATHS, that’s why, you fools! And it’s your Islamic dementia that’s causing it.
But thanks as always for showing the UGLY FACE OF ISLAM to everyone. We couldn’t ask for better stooges to display why we detest Islam. You play into it every day just by being demented Muslim fanatics – thanks!

Ahmed Rehab is a jew hating, obfuscating bastard. He is thought to write comments at the Jew hating (oops, I mean anti Zionist sarc/off) site Loon Watch. He writes comments there under the name ‘Chameleon’. Chameleon’s comments would do nazis proud, attacking Israel and Zionism, and using some nazi gene lie to call Israelis racists.
CAIR should be outlawed as a terrorist jihad spinning organisation. The irony is that if Ahmed Rehab were in Saudi Arabia or Egypt or Pakistan he would be beheaded for promoting a ‘heretic’ form of Islam.

With the sheer abuse of Executive Orders, the way current U.S. president is shutting up law-abiding citizens’ rights to bear arms to protect themselves, President Baraq Hussein Obama, Jr. would probably issue an Executive Order to punish anyone criticizing his own faith in diabolic tenets of Islam.

To stop someone using MyJihad, then MyJihad Inc have to establish that there is a potential for public confusion. Are they actually going to publicly press a case that Pamela is engaging in the same activities of “Educational services, namely, providing education and information on the subject of Islam and the American Muslim community”?

As Army Training Films said:”KNOW THE ENEMY” :
The Chicago Law Firm “Despres Schwartz,and Geoghegan'” is as LEFTY as it gets :
Leon Despres,is DECEASED.
Despres was a Chicago Alderman representing the 5th Ward,aka,Obama’s neighborhood for decades.
Despres was a contemporary and FELLOW TRAVELER of Saul Alinsky who made a CAREER of FIGHTING Mayor Richard J.Daley,the father,and the ,at that time ,ORIGINAL Chicago Democratic Machine.
Despres was a MIDWIFE of the “transition” from the “Old Left” to “The
New Left”
From the”Despres Schwartz,and Geoghegan” website””
“For four decades, the law firm of Despres, Schwartz and Geoghegan Ltd. has been providing superior legal counsel to unions, employees, and other plaintiffs who have had their rights as workers violated. Known for their skill in complex litigation, the lawyers of Despres, Schwartz and Geoghegan, Ltd. are experienced advocates for a wide range of plaintiffs, and have handled numerous civil rights lawsuits as well as cases ranging from product liability litigation to actions under the False Claims Act.
Located in the heart of the Chicago Loop, the firm is led by Thomas Geoghegan, an experienced labor litigator who has worked for the United Mine Workers and fought for union democracy within the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the United Steelworkers. Jorge Sanchez has spent time as a litigator and acting director for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund in Chicago and worked for the Cesar Chavez’s United Farm Workers.
The founder of the firm was the late Leon Despres, a longtime civil rights and labor lawyer who spent two decades as an alderman on the Chicago City Council, where he served as the chief foil to the Democratic machine and the administration of Mayor Richard J. Daley. Mr. Despres’ often solitary battles on behalf of civil rights and open housing earned him the moniker “the liberal conscience of Chicago” and made him a legend in progressive circles in Chicago and in his life-long home of Hyde Park.
Despres, Schwartz and Geoghegan Ltd. currently serves as primary counsel to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, in addition to trying numerous cases on behalf of workers and other plaintiffs. Over the years, the firm has represented local unions of nurses, auto workers, electricians, and city workers. The firm is experienced in trying class actions, and its lawyers are well known advocates in the federal district court located in Chicago and the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. They also appear frequently before labor mediation and arbitration panels. The firm has handled an unusually large number of suits under the WARN Act, which requires sixty days notice before the shutdown of plants.
The firm has also conducted a wide range of public interest litigation, including suits to protect consumers and to enforce election rights, including litigation to require popular elections when there are vacancies in the United States Senate. The firm also brought the first major class action against the handgun industry for creating a public nuisance through the spread of handguns in the Chicago public schools. Recently the firm obtained a settlement with the Advocate hospital system requiring it to provide charity care or reduced price care to uninsured patients.
In addition to its legal practice, the firm’s lawyers have always maintained strong ties to the community and are active in civic life throughout Chicago. The attorneys sit on the boards of several progressive advocacy organizations, including BPI and the ACLU of Illinois, and both Mr. Despres and Mr. Geoghegan are accomplished authors, having written five books between them about the labor movement, politics, and the legal system.”
CAIR using that “Progressive Pedigreed’ Law Firm is a complete manifestation of the JIHADI-LEFTY ALLIANCE.
Usually,the lawyers used by Chicagoland Muslim”groups” and Terrorist Jihadis are Chicago versions of Lamis Deek,Lynne Stewert ,Stanley Cohen,etc.

Pam, you should sue CAIR for 1400 years of Jihadi wars against non-muslims. In fact the whole Umma should be sued.
Let’s bankrupt all those Arab goat-faces Sheikhs from the billions they stole from non-muslims and still do today and use their petrodollars to fund more Jihad and terrorism globally.
We should have a class-action lawsuit against all these scumbags. Make muslims impoverished and it’ll turn into:
MyJihad is to panhandle so I can feed my Hooka habit.
MyJihad is to find a piece of cardboard to sleep on.
MyJihad is to get hope some non-muslim will hire me.

@Pamela Geller
Please take the legal threat seriously. I work in a law firm in Germany and with German trademark laws the situation would be obvious:
If the trademark “MyJihad” is valid and registered, your activity would violate their trademark rights and they could succesfully sue you.
As the US trademark laws from what i know are not fundamentally different, the legal risk is real. It might be that “MyJihad” cannot be a trademark, since its main component “Jihad” is an often used word, but whether this is the case should be discussed with someone knowledgable about US trademark law.
And this is independent of whether this attack is dishonest, stealth jihad or something else, these are the trademark laws and under these they have a good chance to succesfully sue you.
So please take this seriously.

America, can you imagine this happening to you in the USA? Being told to get out of the area, don’t walk near their mosque, get off your own streets because the streets belong to them (muslims)? Well, it is happening in London, and has been for a few years now, and what are the UK Police doing about it? Absolutely nothing. Our people are being intimidated by Muslim Patrol gangs and the UK Police are doing nothing – instead they have their noses pressed up against their computer screens, looking for people to arrest if they dare show any form of disgust at the heinous acts of islamic barbarity happening in the world today. Watch these young people being told to get out of the area, not to come back, not to walk on their streets, not to walk near ‘their’ mosque.
Watch the video, see for yourself, the video was made by a muslim.
