While you were enjoying your day at Six Flags on Sunday afternoon, we were outside Six Flags with a process server who served him with the citation attached to the lawsuit and a citation with the Restraining Order and Order to Appear in Court on next Monday at 8:30 a.m. for a public hearing. See details below. After he was served, Mr. Kaufman ignored the Restraining Order and held a sign calling that said "SIX FLAGS OVER TERRORISTS," and other defamatory signs. Also, today he posted on his website three Local Muslim Organizations: Islamic Society of Arlington, AKA Center Masjid; DFW Islamic Educational Center, Inc., AKA Dar El Eman Islamic Center; and Islamic Center of Irving, stating "Three Dallas-area Islamic institutions and their connection to the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), a government named 'Unindicted Co-Conspirator' of a Hamas trial dealing with millions of dollars in terrorist financing." # READ DALLAS MORNING NEWS COVERAGE OF THE PROTEST AT THIS LINK.
