This is excellent news from Act for America concerning the prevention of Islamists from suing American Writers in foreign courts and expecting enforcement in America.
Foreign Court civil suits were one way Islamists were trying to silence American writers who publish in America from exposing Islamism.

In America Islamist organizations similar to CAIR use litigation to throw down First Amendment Free Speech by the intimidation of it costs money for lawyers to stand by the truth. Is there a time when litigation becomes irrelevant and the First Amendment is revoked by Judicial Tyranny by making the truth a felonious crime known as hate speech?
That is what is happening to a British Blogger known as Lionheart who is a plane to jolly old England certain to be arrested for hate speech for blogging about Islamic Jihad.
I am growing weary of Islamic organizations whining about prejudice and hate when Western writers and bloggers are merely reporting what is in Islamic sources or public record. These Islamists or these Mohammedans or these Mohammedan organizations utilize Western Laws to effectively squelch Freedom of Speech and silence Western critics of the reality of violence inherent in that Theo-political cult known as Islam (I prefer Mohammedanism after their psycho-prophet).
In America Andrew Whitehead successfully withstood litigation intimidation with CAIR. When CAIR sued Whitehead for making false statements on his website Anti-CAIR, Whitehead’s lawyer asked for discovery documentation from CAIR about donations among other items. CAIR chose not to give up that information and dropped the suit. Speculation would assume the reason for not giving up the Discovery Requests is because it would connect terrorism to CAIR.
On the other hand foreign Islamists with a ton of money have found a way to circumvent American litigation laws. Sheikh Khalid Bin Mahfouz of Saudi Arabia sued American author Rachel Ehrenfeld for using his name (which was documented) as a funder of terrorism in her book American published book, Funding Evil. Bin Mahfouz did not sue in America where the burden of proof would be on him, he went to the UK where the defendant in litigation has to prove the plaintiff wrong. The hypocrisy of it all is the Funding Evil was never published or marketed in the UK however a number of books (like approximately seven) were purchased on the Internet. Ehrenfeld is an American and NOT a British citizen and felt no legal obligation to pour money into lawyers (or in the UK’s case – barristers) to satisfy a litigious Islamist.
Bin Mahfouz won by default for the Ehrenfeld no show. Ehrenfeld has since written an exposé on the Muslim Brotherhood. American Publishers won’t publish it for fear of offending foreign Muslims who might litigate in foreign courts. Ehrenfeld is not the only American having their First Amendment Rights squelched by foreign courts – READ HERE.
Ehrenfeld tried to use the New York State Judiciary system to protect her First Amendment rights from foreign courts; however at the Appellate level she was shot down claiming the State Judiciary had no jurisdiction. Ehrenfeld has other options which include fighting bin Mahfouz if he has the audacity to collect in American Courts the judgment leveled by the dhimmi judge in the UK.
