“It is ridiculous and insulting, that because I nominated Sohail Mohammed — that people some how think that means I’m for Sharia Law. It’s crap.” Chris Christie sure talks a lot of crap. He has previously said that “this Sharia law business” — i.e., concern about Sharia in the U.S. — “is just crap.”
The problem with this outburst, which the mainstream media and Islamic supremacists like Hamas-linked CAIR’s hate-filled Hussam Ayloush are hailing, is that the objections to his appointment of Sohail Mohammed to a Superior Court don’t center around some secret plan Mohammed has to make rulings according to Sharia. They have to do with his associations and allegiances. Daniel Greenfield has noted that “Sohail Mohammed is a board member of the American Muslim Union, an organization that has interlocking leadership with groups that have fundraised for Hamas and hosted a Hamas speaker. The American Muslim Union is closely interlinked with Qatanani’s Islamic Center of Passaic County.” Sohail Mohammed was the New Jersey Imam Mohammed Qatanani’s lawyer. Greenfield adds: “Despite the fact that Mohammed Qatanani was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, the organization that is behind both Al Qaeda and Hamas, despite his own guilty plea to being a member of Hamas, and despite the fact that even in the United States, he had defended a charity that provided funds to children of suicide bombers (this is done as an incentive to reassure terrorists that if they die their families will be taken care of), Qatanani was not deported.”
Imagine if Christie had appointed a judge who had similar ties to the Ku Klux Klan. The mainstream media would not be hailing him then. But what exactly is the difference between Hamas and the KKK, other than that the Klan is not as violent?
“Christie deftly defends appointment of Muslim Judge at RJC meeting,” by Matt K. Lewis for the Daily Caller, March 31:
Speaking at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s meeting in Las Vegas on Saturday, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie responded calmly, but strongly, to a question about Sharia Law, taking the occasion to address lingering concerns about a Muslim judge he appointed in 2011.
“Sohail Mohammed knows as much about jihad as I do, being an Irish-American kid from Newark, New Jersey,” Christie said of the Indian-American judge who immigrated to America as a child. “It is ridiculous and insulting, that because I nominated Sohail Mohammed — that people some how think that means I’m for Sharia Law. It’s crap,” he said to applause. “And I will not ever apologize for making him a judge — in fact, I’m proud of it.”
“Sharia Law won’t come into New Jersey,” Christie continued, “and to suggest otherwise is nothing more than internet blog B.S.”
Much has been made of Christie’s gaffe about “occupied territories,” but I think this exchange was probably more instructive in the long run. If Christie runs for president, this is one of the lingering questions he will have to continue to address. And his ability to defend this appointment — in what might have been a challenging environment — speaks well of his political courage and ability to communicate. The fact that Christie actually garnered some applause is indicative of his ability to do just that.
Yes, he sure can bamboozle people with nonsense — always an asset for a 21st-century American politician.
RSAmerica says
You lie, Christie, you’re nothing but a bald-faced liar. How can you say that “Sharia Law won’t come into New Jersey, and to suggest otherwise is nothing more than internet blog B.S,” when it factually, indisputably, ALREADY has?
___________________________________________________________
From Creeping Sharia:
A New Jersey family court judge’s decision not to grant a restraining order to a woman who was sexually abused by her Moroccan husband and forced repeatedly to have sex with him is sounding the alarm for advocates of laws designed to ban Shariah in America.
Judge Joseph Charles, in denying the restraining order to the woman after her divorce, ruled that her ex-husband felt he had behaved according to his Muslim beliefs — and that he did not have “criminal desire to or intent to sexually assault” his wife.
According to the court record, the man’s wife — a Moroccan woman who had recently immigrated to the U.S. at the time of the attacks — alleged:
“Defendant forced plaintiff to have sex with him while she cried. Plaintiff testified that defendant always told her “this is according to our religion. You are my wife, I c[an] do anything to you. The woman, she should submit and do anything I ask her to do.”
In considering the woman’s plea for a restraining order after the couple divorced, Charles ruled in June 2009 that a preponderance of the evidence showed the defendant had harassed and assaulted her, but “The court believes that [defendant] was operating under his belief that it is, as the husband, his desire to have sex when and whether he wanted to, was something that was consistent with his practices and it was something that was not prohibited.”
______________________________________________________________
Fortunately, an appellate court over-ruled the moronic Judge Charles…but will sanity prevail next time? Or the time after that?

[Rand] Paul said the primary responsibility to deal with this problem [of the upsurge in attacks on Christians throughout the Muslim world] rests with moderate, peaceful Muslims…
Paul rightly blamed “a fanatical element of Islam,” rather than all adherents of the faith.

Surely we can do better than a pitifully slight tweak of the TMOE meme (Tiny Minority of Extremists).
Paleologos says
voegelinian,
While I am not completely happy with Rand’s comment,
below is what he said, with an obvious edit I added …
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul spent Friday morning telling stories to conservatives about the persecution of Christians across the world.
“Today I want to tell you about a war the mainstream media is ignoring,” the Republican lawmaker said Friday during the Values Voter Summit in Washington. “From Boston to Zanzibar, there is a worldwide war on Christianity.”
“You won’t hear much about it on the evening news because the answer is not convenient and does not fit the narrative we have been told about radical Islam,” Paul added.
Paul also said President Obama”tries to gloss over who is attacking and killing Christians.”
“But the truth is, there is a worldwide war on Christians by a fanatical element of Islam,” Paul said.
“Ever since 9/11, commentators have tried to avoid pointing fingers at Islam,” he said. “While it is fair to point out that most Muslims are not committed to violence against Christians,
[OF COURSE THIS CAN EXCLUDE “PEACEFUL MUSLIMS” WHO WISH TO SUBJUGATE, ENSLAVE AND RULE INFIDELS WITHOUT KILLING THEM, AND PARASITICALLY CONQUER THEIR CONTRIES THROUGH THE MONEY WEAPON AND THE muslim WOMB]
this is not the whole truth and we should not let political correctness stand in the way of the truth.”
Examples referenced by Paul:
Referencing an incident in Syria, Paul spoke of Islamic rebels storming into town and demanding everyone convert to Islam or die. “Sarkis el Zakhm stood up and answered them, ‘I am a Christian and if you want to kill me because I am a Christian, do it.’ Those were Sarkis last words.”
“Elsewhere in Syria, Islamic rebels have filmed beheadings of their captives and celebrated by eating the heart of an enemy soldier,” Paul said. “Two Christian bishops have been kidnapped and one priest recently killed.”
“In Zanzibar, a priest was shot in the head on his way to church by two Muslim youths,” Paul said. :A message by the Muslim Renewal said, ‘We thank our young men, trained in Somalia, for killing an infidel. Many more will die. We will burn homes and churches. We have not finished: at Easter, be prepared for disaster.’”
Said Paul: “In Kenya, motorcycle assailants hurled bombs into a Christian church injuring 15 people including the pastor who had both of his legs broken.”
“In Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation, three girls were beheaded on their way to their Christian school,” Paul said.
“In Guinea this year a Muslim mob attacked and killed 95 Christians and injured 130,” he said.
Paul said that, “In Egypt, 82 churches were recently attacked, leaving hundreds dead or wounded.”
“In Cameroon, recently, two Christians who had converted from Islam were murdered,” Paul said.
“In Iran, American pastor Saeed Abedini has been imprisoned indefinitely, facing physical and psychological torture at the hands of his captors who have demanded that he renounce his faith,” he said.
“In Libya, the country we freed from oppression, Benghazi militias raided a Christian church rounding up over a hundred Christians accusing them of being missionaries because they possessed Bibles and crosses,” Paul said. “Many were tortured and one Christian died while being tortured.”
“In Pakistan, last week 75 Christians were killed and several hundred injured in a church bombing,” Paul said.

Rand Paul rightly speaks of the war on Christians.

Christie is a shallow-minded lout, which may just be why he appeals to a large segment of the population.
I once knew a marketing guy who used to brag: “It’s not the depth of your knowledge that counts, but the height of your convictions.” A perfect description of why we elect bozos who get us into trouble.
Brazooka says
Christie’s assertion is that because Sohail Mohammed took an oath, then he must be loyal, as if no one ever breaks an oath. In fact, the first verse of Surah 9 of the Qur’an exempts Muslims from any promise they make to infidels:
“Freedom from (all) obligations (is declared) from Allah and His Messenger (SAW) to those of the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah), with whom you made a treaty. ”
To a believing Muslim, an oath of the type Sohail Mohammed took is worthless. He will comply with it for only as long as and to the precise extent that he believes it advantageous to himself and to the cause of Islam.
jj says
Christi is a lire and a traitor he appointed a Muslim who still lives and breathes his cult religion promoting child pedophilia. Christi is insane for this what kind of American would do such a criminal appointment.christi is a disgrace to humankind and to the Italian race what a piece of garbage.muslims are the cancer in the world trust none of them ever!

Wellington says
So, at least Christie appears to recognize that Sharia doesn’t work with such things as the American and New Jersey constitutions: “Sharia Law won’t come into New Jersey” he said. Two problems here: 1) Sharia Law has already creeped into New Jersey, as RSAmerica has detailed; 2) counting on a Muslim not to bring Sharia Law into a non-Sharia jurisdiction is a fool’s errand.
No Muslim, not one, should be trusted when they say they will honor the basic freedoms outlined in the American Constitution. Here’s why: such a person is either a bad Muslim or a liar——-and how can you count on someone who doesn’t understand what they believe in or who, understanding full well what they believe in, profess something to the contrary?
Conclusion here: Christie is deeply, I mean profoundly, ignorant about Islam. But I have little doubt that his ignorance is invincible and that he will almost certainly never learn. He represents in microcosm what all the West, and not just America, faces in today’s world, i.e., the complete failure of present Western elites to understand, to inform themselves, about the one major faith which is inimical to the best of what Western Civilization has, with so much difficulty over the centuries, established above all other civilizations, i.e., liberty and equality under the law.
Indeed, while one could find other ideologies that are as much of an enemy of freedom and equality under the law as is Islam, no one could find any ideology more so. About all this, Christie, actually a very bright and talented man, continues utterly clueless to this day. I wish I could say his erroneous pronouncements about Sharia, et al. was due to stupidity, but the fact that they aren’t demonstrates the larger problem, to wit, that highly educated people (like Christie) can say and do enormously incorrect and harmful things. If history teaches anything, it teaches this.
Damn sad and a damn enormous problem, not that the Christies of the world will ever figure this out. Again can be seen that the facilitation of evil by the ignorant is actually a worse problem than evil itself. Christie is a front and center example of this. And I predict he will never realize this.
Jay Boo says
Wellington,
It is worse
Christy’s ignorance is willful ignorance
Judi says
Unfortunately, he seems to have won the audience over with this cringing speech. At the end they were all clapping and laughing.
Wellington says
Yes, an audience like that is part of the problem too. It is indeed a very big problem, i.e., the continued refusal by way too many in the West to realize that Islam is lethal to Western values, freedoms and laws. Enormous problem. None bigger.
Jay Boo says
Christy is a slick operator
Christy never truly answered the original question; he just put up an elaborate smokescreen.
First, Christy played the victim card and then set up his (long) well rehearsed holier than thou American dream / Islamophobia survivor story to appeal to Muslims and leftists and to shift the blame on his critics.
NOTICE for his grand finale he ended with Sharia (won’t happen) while he is Governor
But this is the same as saying that he is actually against sharia or he would in fact do everything in his power to stop it.
pdxnag says
Is it as if Nidal Hasan went to law school rather than medical school? The same loyalty conflict between Sharia and all else would grate on a Muslim judge applying anything other than Sharia law. Will he snap, or become an apostate?
Pity anyone that has him as a judge. Can they demand another judge?
Christy sure emphasizes his stubborn idiocy, as if stubbornness and idiocy are virtues, along with calculated blindness.
He cannot simultaneously plead 100 percent ignorance of Sharia and Islam while insisting that there is 0 percent risk of anything bad from having a Muslim jurist render opinions in an arguably infidel court. He sounds like a teenager prone to exaggerations.

He’s nasty! It’d be a cold day in hell freezing over before he’d ever be president, no way. I’d rather see a well-meaning, physically fit, true patriot (with some short comings mentally) Sarah Palin as POTUS. Chris Christie can’t be trusted. He’s an apologist d*bag and eats too much.
Frank95054 says
Chris Christie is so out of touch with reality about Islam that he would be a National Security threat should be be elected President of the United States. What a hypocrite, and ignorant man. For some crazy reason, he is the poster boy for the GOP too. I don’t get that! I would never vote for Christie under any circumstances.
Norman Moffatt says
Christie said I know nothing about Sharia law, no there a dereliction of duty right there, ten’s on millions of Muslims in America and this guy openly says he is ignorant. To have public officials so ignorant is an injustice to the American people. I love the way he pumped up the judge, I think the judge is practicing Taqiyya on the Dhimmi Governor.

Chris Christie sucks up to muzzies, nothing new. Welcome to the club dear American friends. Your politicians aren’t any better than our European pranksters. There are only a few exceptions.

His response, every time he is asked a question that shows people are thinking about his actions, is to say the defiling *c* word or call people stupid.

This is a real load of crap coming from Christie!!! Everytime they put a muslim in they get issues with them trying to mix American law or they just skip American law. They tend to go with the muslim argument!!! Check it out Christie!!!!
Dennis Trisker says
As a former NJ resident I was astounded that Christie could become governor. He is crass and unprincipled. If e appoints a Muslim judge he is getting something for it: re-election support or money. He should be impeached and not just only for this appointment.
