    Attorney Edward's son and Rana Abbas BFF, The Iron Sheik Will Edward Youmans  Rana Abbas's head, Imad Hamad's Hat        Now Comes Warren David's Brother in Law and the Father of Rana Abbas's Friend: Edward Youmans' Threatening "Cease and Desist" Letter and Email Not Tres Chic from the father of the Iron Sheik                                  A Divisive Issue of Public Concern The sexual harassment allegations against Imad Hamad and ADC have engendered division and ill feelings. It has divided the community and torn apart ties of friendship. By its very nature, the issue is divisive. There is no neutrality when you see that a person and an organization are being accused without direct or circumstantial evidence. You examine ...

           Harassing Email Possibly in Violation of 18 U.S.C. 875 d The Manufactured Crisis- 15 year old claim, 8 year old claim From day one of the manufactured crisis against Imad Hamad and ADC I stood by Imad Hamad and ADC.   Rana Abbas and Rashida Tlaib accused Imad Hamad, former ADC regional director, of sexual harassment and accused ADC of condoning this harassment. Rashida’s claim is 15 years old. Rana’s claim is 8 years old. The fact that Rana Abbas, one of the accusers of Imad and ADC, used to be a family friend and was my wife’s best friend until this unfortunate episode, did not deter me from questioning the allegations   and providing ongoing legal commentary on the subject as it unfolded and evolved. Rashida Tlaib is not a stranger either.   Michigan State Representative Tlaib and I were on cordial terms and were acquaintances for more than ten years.   In fact   my wife and I d...

" Fatima Ahmed lol, trying to find one that doesn't look crazy"   Harassment and Thuggery: The anti-ADC Crowd Turn their Hate on Me   I have written about the Rashida Tlaib/Rana Abbas accusations of   Imad Hamad/ADC   since the story broke out. As a result, some people got upset with me. How dare I not take the accusations at face value or at least stay away from the issue?   I experienced the thuggery of the anti- ADC mob on my Facebook page by uninvited thugs: Omar Baddar and Fatima Ahmed. There is overlap of connections on Facebook and as a result Fatima Ahmed and Omar Baddar were able to comment on a story I posted on my Facebook page. One of my childhood friends asked me a question on my Facebook page, I responded on my Facebook page about the issue and out of nowhere two anti- ADC thugs invaded my page and engaged in verbal thuggery directed against me on my own wall violating all norms of self respect and decency. See ...

Rana Abbas and Imad's hat           All Smiles- In the Picture: Rana Abbas’s Head, Imad Hamad’s Hat       I have written a blog entry questioning the broad smile to the camera of alleged victim Rashida Tlaib. Rashida was protesting ADC’s event at DC while cracking the biggest of smiles. The picture brought some thoughts to my mind that I shared with a blog entry. See http://ihsanalkhatib.blogspot.com/2013/11/rashida-tlaibs-flippant-protest-of-adc.html   As a result of that blog entry I got all kinds of personal attacks from the friends of the accusers and a who’s who of fellow travelers and ADC haters.   But- there is more.   All this commentary is about raising reasonable questions about the motivations of Rashida and Rana in orchestrating the anti- Imad Hamad and anti ADC campaign.  15 years after the alleged events. 8 years after the alleged events. Why now? This is...

The precious smile of a "victim"                                                                 Nothing to Smile About: Rashida Tlaib, Sexual Harassment, and ADC     Imagine this. You feel that you were wronged by an organization. You wait 15 years to come forward with your grievance. You feel that you are wronged and you have waited too long because it is too painful to come forward and you are fearful of the stigma and the reaction you would get from your Arab and Muslim community. But in pursuing what you feel is justice you end up undoing years of the work of well-meaning people who had nothing to do with that perceived wrong. Normally you wo...

Susan Dabaja The Dearborn City Council Elections:   Susan Dabaja for Dearborn A Candidate with the Best of Two Worlds- Fully Arab, Fully American I am a former resident of Dearborn. I can’t vote in the city council elections this Tuesday. But if I were to vote- If I could only vote for one person in this city election, it would be Susan Dabaja. And not because she is Arab American, a Lebanese, a Muslim and a woman. These are all extras. Susan Dabaja is a lawyer. Lawyers have an unfortunate and undeserved negative reputation. However, Susan Dabaja is a lawyer with an excellent reputation. She has a reputation for being highly competent, fair and pleasant. Susan reminds me of the title of one of the annual banquets of the American-Arab anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) banquets- the banquet was entitled “fully American, fully Arab.” Fully American and fully Arab describes Susan Dabaja. The work ethic, the family values, honesty, and integrity. ...
