2. Detained Detroit Muslim cleric seeks political asylum
- www.wsws.org
- On July 9, Rabih Haddads attorneys appeared in Detroit before Immigration Court Judge Elizabeth Hacker to petition for his political asylum in the US. Haddad, a co-founder of the charity Global Relief Foundation (GRF), was arrested nearly seven months ago on an alleged minor visa violation. The government is seeking to deport Haddad and his family to Lebanon. This was the first public hearing for Haddad since he was arrested at his Ann Arbor, Michigan home on December 14, 2001. ...
- Like the approximately 1,200 Arab and Muslim immigrants rounded up in the governments dragnet since September 11, Haddad was arrested by Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) agents, spirited away and held incommunicado from his family, lawyers and friends. ...
- Haddads case has become emblematic of the governments vendetta against Arab and Muslim immigrants because of Haddads stature in the community as well as the widespread support he has received from those concerned with the governments attacks on democratic rights.
- Nubani said Haddads religious beliefs could cause him problems in his native country. ...
- The Justice Department, however, continues to press for the right to close Haddads trial along with those of other immigrant detainees.
- On August 6, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals is expected to hear the governments petition to close Haddads upcoming trial to the public. ...
- In another affront to his civil liberties, Haddad was not allowed to be present in the Detroit courtroom, but remained in prison and was viewed via video hook-up from Chicago.
- Haddads lawyer, Ashruf Nubani, spoke to the World Socialist Web Site outside the courtroom. ...
- Kristine Abouzahr, chairperson of the Committee to Free Rabih Haddad, also spoke to WSWS while picketing outside the courthouse. ...
- Despite the governments attempts to suppress all information about the Haddad case, US District Judge Nancy Edmunds ordered the transcripts of Haddads earlier immigration hearings released to the public in March. ... Failing in their secrecy attempts, the government then focused on a smear campaign, charging Haddad with established links to Al-Qaeda and with falsifying his income.
- One example of the flimsy basis of the governments charges, reported uncritically in the media, was Judge Hackers use of an apartment application to claim that Haddad lied about his employment and income, knowing that immigrants with a tourist visa are barred from employment. To secure an apartment Haddad stated he earned $29,500 a year and was employed by GRF. Haddad feared the managers would reject someone who lived on charity.

- Yvonne Haddad: America’s Islam “Sensitivity” Trainer.
- When White House officials briefly used the word “crusade” to express American resolve in the war on terror, Yvonne Yazbeck Haddad, professor of the history of Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations at Georgetown University scolded them. ...
- But when the media recently reported American Muslim football teams using such names as “Mujahideen,” “Intifada” and “Soldiers of Allah,” Haddad rushed to defend the team titles, saying, “Who cares? Why are people so sensitive? Intifada is something that Muslims and Palestinians all approve of. ...
- In fact, although Haddad has made a name for herself advocating “sensitivity” in the dialogue between Orient and Occident, hers is a one way street, where it is only the West that possesses a deficit of cross civilizational understanding, contrition, and deference. Haddad’s double standards are embodied in the very mission statement of Georgetown’s Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, which she helps run, proclaiming, “Regrettably, it continues to be imperative to counter the misunderstanding and ignorance of Islam. ... ” As Haddad would have it, between Occident and Orient, it is exclusively the West that is in desperate need of remedial education.
- Haddad’s preoccupation with Muslim sensitivity extends to other domains, especially concerning U. ... For example, when the US intervened in Afghanistan in the fall of 2001, Haddad reportedly explained, “many Muslims were offended by the U. ... ” Haddad added that liberating Afghan women was counterproductive to U. ... In other words, regardless of national security interests (which never figure in Haddad’s commentary on U. ...
- Similarly, Haddad’s quest for greater sensitivity towards Muslims prompted her to castigate virtually every domestic response to the Al Qaeda threat. In a speech last spring, Haddad condemned the Patriot Act, saying (falsely) “It basically lifted all legal protection of liberty for Muslims and Arabs in the United States. ...
- True to multiculturist form, Yvonne Haddad would have the West respond to its present security challenges, not with statecraft or decisive force, but with apologies. In a forum discussing Pope John Paul II’s visit to the Holy Land in 2000, Haddad fixated on what she called an “apology deficit” from the West. ... In addition, Haddad called on “somebody like the chief rabbi of Israel” to apologize to Palestinians. ...
- Haddad’s case is important because it is symptomatic of what is wrong in much of the academy where matters Middle East and Islamic are concerned. ...

- Jury favors Haddad in tax suit.
- Haddad Motor Group and its owner, George Haddad of Pittsfield, are now awaiting a judge's ruling on a key portion of their lawsuit against Karp, Ackerman, Skabowski and Hogan, the Hudson, N. ...
- Haddad claims that Paul Hogan, a member of the firm, gave the company incorrect tax advice in connection with the sale of BankBoston stock, and sued for $224,569, the sum of federal and state taxes owed and penalties.
- However, the judge must still rule on Haddad's claim of "unfair and deceptive practice" on the part of Hogan, which could come sometime this month. ...
- Haddad Motor Group has auto dealerships on Pittsfield-Lenox Road in Pittsfield and State Road in North Adams.
- According to court documents, Haddad retained Hogan's firm as its tax consultant in 1998. Haddad then began discussions with Hogan about changing its corporate status from a "C" corporation to an "S" corporation to receive certain tax benefits.
- As a C corporation, Haddad Motors paid income taxes not only on revenue earned, but also on any dividends distributed to shareholders.
- By converting to an S corporation, Haddad Motors would be taxed in a similar manner to a sole proprietorship or partnership, so that the income was only taxed once as it was passed through to shareholders. According to Haddad's complaint, the company asked Hogan whether Haddad could sell BankBoston stock without incurring any additional tax liability.
- Haddad, who was borrowing against the value of the stock, asked his accountant whether it was better to wait and continue to pay the interest, or to sell the stock and eliminate the interest liability.
- Haddad said he was told by Hogan that there was "no financial or tax benefits to waiting to sell the stock. " Haddad sold the stock in February 1999, and in December of that year, the company converted to an S corporation.
- Later that month, Haddad learned that the company faced a combined 42 percent state and federal tax liability on the sale of the stock, leaving the company with a combined $139,000 tax liability.
- Haddad claimed that the company would not have sold the stock if it was aware of the tax implications, in which the sale was treated as a "built-in" capital gain, because the sale occurred within 10 years of converting to an S corporation. The amount of taxes owed "greatly exceeded" the amount of interest Haddad would have had to pay if the company waited until 2008 before selling the stock.
