Mr. El-Mouelhy is suing Ms. Smith for defamation over a number of online videos she presented for the Q Society, another anti-Islam group affiliated with the Australian Liberty Alliance.

“When you make false exaggerations I have every right to sue and sue everybody that has supported her and paid for her video,” he said.
