The free speech rights of authors, researchers and journalists writing on issues of public security and national concern are increasingly under attack through both violent and non-violent means. An important non-violent challenge to free speech has emerged in the form of “Islamist lawfare,” the use of the law as a weapon of war to silence and punish free speech about militant Islam, terrorism and its sources of financing.

The strategic end of Islamist lawfare is to further the goals of the Islamist movement, one of which is to abolish public discourse critical of Islam and punish anything deemed blasphemous to its prophet, Mohammad. Another goal of Islamist lawfare is to impede the free flow of public information about the threat of Islamist terrorism, thereby limiting our ability to understand it and destroy it. In this way, Islamist lawfare takes the form of a complementary legal campaign to terrorism and asymmetric warfare.

Lawfare: The War Against Free Speech– written by two of America’s experts in this field– describes this phenomenon and gives practical guidance about navigating this new terrain to journalists who wish to speak truthfully about the national security threats we face.

This book is a must-read primer on the First Amendment, and should be reviewed by anyone writing about the most controversial topics of our time.

Aaron Eitan Meyer and Brooke Goldstein present Lawfare Against Free Speech: A First Amendment Guide to Reporting in an Age of Islamist Lawfare, the first book of its kind aimed at giving practical tips to journalists when writing about these topics.

Review written and submitted by Paul Manning

This is a must read for people who care about protecting and preserving human rights. The authors begin with a step-by-step explanation of relevant parts of the Bill Of Rights, beginning with free speech. They focus on the salient points of defamation of character - true defamation as opposed to unfounded allegation - and smoothly go on to myriad other twists and turns applied by those who attack and demonize innocent people through bogus legal procedures. The anarchy known as Sharia Law - which contains all of the most violent applications imaginable - is exposed in all its horrific detail. It makes the bloody fist of Marxism look like a sock puppet. These actions - from treatment of women to the condemnation to death of those who disagree with their religion being most notable - are now slowly being applied throughout the world. Israel is in greater danger than ever. Europe is teetering before our eyes. The United States is in the cross hairs, and some shots fired have hit their target. And American politicians and sworn officers of the courts are complicit with victories won, especially in the propaganda war. The installation of the Islamist extremists into the protected class of American Political Correctness is frightening beyond words. And Americans blithely go about their business, unaware of the certainty of annihilation spreading all around them.

Authors Brooke Goldstein and Aaron Eitan Meyer have researched and skewered both the perpetrators of this new attempt at world domination, and exposed the foolishly pacifistic "leaders" in the West who are allowing it to happen. They are courageous beyond words, and beacons to the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars A true gem
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2011

Brooke and Aaron have hit the mark with this ground-breaking gem, a seminal work that offers a comprehensive yet concise look at recent threats to free speech by opponents of freedom and liberty. Meticulously researched and cited, Lawfare serves as a rich resource for attorneys and a usable guide for journalists and free speech proponents. It is recommended reading for Americans and our allies in democracy and human rights, to bring the world up to speed on this component of the virulent threat facing our way of life.

I don't believe anyone, except our enemies will be disappointed by reading this book.

This book explains one of the more esoteric of the operational arts, which is legal subversion. Originally authored as a contextual legal resource, the book picks up speed using illustrative chapters later in the book to drive home the reality of this phenomenon. The contemporary sampling of threats is substantial and always grounded in American Constitutional principles. Those looking for rhetorical Islam bashing will not find it here. Instead, readers will find a thoughtful book, which has been organized to maximize its utility for Legislators, Policy Makers and Intelligence Professionals working in the National Security domain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Free Speech and Lawfare
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2012
Verified Purchase
This book is a must for anyone who believes in free speech. The assault on free speech has generally been kept out of the public eye through the use of lawfare. The result has been a stifling of public discourse on the issue of Islamism leading to political correctness and self censorship by publishers and the media in general for fear of being labelled racist or Islamophobe. Only through education and the free flow of ideas and opinions can the public be kept informed. I highly recommed this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lawfare is a Sham
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2024
The Lawfare project, or so the author's new venture is called, is a sham organization. Probably geared towards fundraising and paying its staff but not geared towards addressing violence directed at Jewish persons out of bigotry. I contacted them. After I was attacked, stabbed and paralyzed by a swastika-adorned man who didn't care for a Jew moving into his town. I emailed the Lawfare website numerous times before I got a little testy, which finally produced a response. The details of my attack are as shocking as they come. I won't describe them here, but I did describe them to the Lawfare project, which wasn't able to provide me with contact information for a single attorney associated with them who is practicing in the State of New York. Doesn't that seem odd? It did to me. And of the two attorneys they did provide contact information for, one in Colorado and one in Seattle, neither contacted me. But I guess this is nothing new: there's a lot of money out there to be made in the name of tragedy, without ever having to combat any tragedies.
