HUGE VICTORY FOR INFIDELS: COURT AWARDS ATTORNEYS’ FEES AGAINST THE CITY OF DEARBORN, MICHIGAN FOR VIOLATING A CHRISTIAN PASTOR’S RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Robert Muise, my lawyer in a number of free speech cases, has triumphed in one of America's sharia
hotspots, Dearborn. Muise had a big battle win in the long war against islamization and civilization jihad. Muise, the attorney for ChristianPastor George Saieg, was awarded $103,401.96 in fees and costs for successfully challenging the City of Dearborn’s restriction on theChristian’s right to freedom of speech at the 2009 Arab Festival held in the City. The City enforced the blasphemy laws under the sharia and refused to allow a Christian to hand out religious literature at the Festival.

The City enforced the blasphemy laws under the sharia and refused to allow a Christian to hand out religious literature at the Festival.
“The award of attorney fees in this case,” noted Muise, “is critical in the lawfare againstCivilization Jihad and dhimmitization, or subjugation, of an entire municipality in Michigan. Dearborn has a long record of this kind of illegal, heavy-handed treatment of Christians as an attempt to placate Dearborn’s sharia-faithful. The court’s ruling today demonstrates that this kind of behavior will come at great cost.”
Robert Muise will be speaking at our historic CPAC event: Islamic Law in America, on February 10, 2011. More here
This victory bodes well for our AFDI/SIOA lawsuit against the city of Dearborn. We won our case when SMART (Dearborn transit authority) refused to run our freedom ads designed to help Muslims escape mortal threats. They still have not run them despite the courts ruling. It was painful to read of Jessica Mokdad's honor killing the week they were scheduled to run. We will be bringing this to national attention in the first-ever human rights conference dedicated to exposing the plight of women under Islamic law in Dearborn, Michigan on the anniversary of the honor murder of Jessica Mokdad: the Jessica Mokdad Human Rights Conference. If you can be in Michigan on April 29th - come. More here.
Today, a U.S. Magistrate Judge in Detroit, Michigan recommended that Robert J. Muise, the attorney for Christian Pastor George Saieg, be awarded $103,401.96 in fees and costs for successfully challenging the City of Dearborn’s restriction on the Christian’s right to freedom of speech at the 2009 Arab Festival held in the City. The City, not wanting to offend its large Muslim population, would not allow the Christian to hand out religious literature at the Festival.In the order, the federal judge stated, “In this case, the Plaintiff received the full relief he sought — an invalidation of the leafleting restriction and a permanent injunction barring its enforcement. . . . Because this result ‘cannot fairly be labeled as anything short of excellent, [Plaintiff] is entitled to a fully compensatory fee.’” AFLC Senior Counsel Robert J. Muise represented Pastor Saieg in this successful free speech case. At the time, Muise was Senior Trial Counsel for the Thomas More Law Center. The City has 14 days to appeal. [Read order here]“The award of attorney fees in this case,” noted Muise, “is critical in the lawfare against Civilization Jihad and dhimmitization, or subjugation, of an entire municipality in Michigan. Dearborn has a long record of this kind of illegal, heavy-handed treatment of Christians as an attempt to placate Dearborn’s sharia-faithful. The court’s ruling today demonstrates that this kind of behavior will come at great cost.”Muise recently won acquittals for charges of “disturbing the peace” brought by the Dearborn prosecutor against a group of Christians following their arrests by Dearborn police in 2010 for the same kind of peaceful free speech activities. Muise and David Yerushalmi of the American Freedom Law Center, along with attorneys from the Thomas More Law Center, currently represent these Christians in a civil action arising from these arrests.
