Here is an additional blurb they are putting out on Moreno. The wording is highly illustrative.

Introducing Leading Civil Rights Attorney Linda Moreno
(ANAHEIM, CA, 4/20/11) -- The Greater Los Angeles Area Office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-LA) invites you to the Conference reception and dinner on Saturday, April 23, featuring Keynote Speaker Linda Moreno, a leading national civil rights attorney who has represented Muslim defendants in high profile cases involving national security.
The dinner will be held at the Anaheim Marriott, following the daylong "Transforming Our Communities" 2011 Leadership Conference in key areas such as civic engagement, rights and empowerment, public speaking, and media relations, among others. Take a moment now to register for the daylong conference [Dinner featuring Ms. Moreno's keynote address is included in the registration for daylong conference].
For those who are not able to attend the all-day conference but are still interested in attending ONLY the dinner portion of the program can buy tickets at $35 per person here.
Ms. Moreno represented Dr. Sami al-Arian, a Palestinian professor, in the case described as the seminal test of the Patriot Act in United States v. Sami Amin al-Arian, et al. Attorney General John Ashcroft had said the outcome would show the "success of the Patriot Act." After a 6-month trial, which garnered international attention, the jury refused, in a 53-count indictment, to return a single guilty verdict against Dr. al-Arian and acquitted him of several of the most serious charges. Ms. Moreno also represented the chairman of the pre-eminent Muslim charity in America in both federal trials of U.S. vs. Holy Land Foundation, et. al., in Dallas.

The statement on al Arian is far from complete. He, did, in fact, go to prison. Here is the Wikipedia entry on al Arian.

The ("pre-eminent") Holy Land Foundation trial in Dallas eventually ended in guilty verdicts. This is the trial which established that several Muslim charities have been funneling charitable contributions to terror groups in the Middle East. It has again splashed into the news based on revelations that the current Justice Department has squashed efforts of the US Attorney's Office in Dallas to issue more indictments against...guess who....CAIR!

In addition, Florida-based Ahmed Bedier is speaking in Anaheim. Here is what terrorism expert Steve Emerson's Investigative Project on Terrorism has to say about this gentleman.

Truly an all-star lineup.
Here is yet another example of the general acceptance of lying in the Muslim community as long as it benefits Muslims.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading CAIR's description of Ms. Moreno and then the actual facts that you documented afterward, it seems that misrepresentation and even flat out lying is interstitial within the Muslim culture.
You see it here, with the Yorba Linda episode, the UCI MSU defense of the disrupters, the lies about the fortilla, the situation in Gaza, and the other misrepresentations about Israel.
