Debbie Schlussel: Three Cheers for Andy Kennedy: Ole Miss Basketball Coach Fights Back Against Muslim Cab Driver
On Thursday, Cincinnati Muslim cab driver Mohamed Moctar Ould Jiddou claimed that Ole Miss men's basketball coach Andy Kennedy assaulted him and made anti-Muslim slurs against him, including calling him "Bin Laden" and "Saddam Hussein" (which authorities are calling "racial slurs"--hmmm, they're the same race as Kennedy). Because authorities generally take everything Muslims say as the gospel, Kennedy was charged and could face up to six months in jail. He pleaded not guilty.
I don't believe Jiddou's story for a second. And I'm glad Andy Kennedy is fighting back. On Friday, Kennedy filed a lawsuit against both Jiddou and a valet and said that what actually happened is that the Muslim cabdriver yelled racial slurs at Kennedy's Black assistant coach, Torrey Ward. All four of Kennedy's assistant coaches were with him at the time and back up his version of events.

In his first lengthy statements to local media since being arrested and charged with simple assault in Cincinnati, Ole Miss men's basketball coach Andy Kennedy said he was grateful for the university's support and explained why he countered the charges with a civil lawsuit."A man takes his whole life to establish credibility," Kennedy said. "And I cannot stand back and allow my credibility to be (ruined) based on false allegations. That was the purpose of what I had to do yesterday."
What we have here is a case of yet another Muslim using the system to soak people and/or silence them.
Attention Muslim litigation jihadists: Some Americans actually do fight back against your attempts to use the legal system to destroy them.
