Christie is shamelessly pandering to New Jersey’s Muslims: “An exclusion without exceptions would violate the cultures and traditions of some communities in New Jersey based on religious traditions.”
Back in 2011, Christie said: “This Sharia law business is just crap … and I’m tried of dealing with the crazies.” He was ridiculing the idea that there was any attempt to bring any aspect of Sharia into the United States. Now he is enabling Muslims who are trying to do just that.
“Christie Vetoes Bill That Would Outlaw Child Marriage In NJ,” by Steve Birr, Daily Caller, May 12, 2017:
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie conditionally vetoed legislation Thursday that would have banned all underage marriage in New Jersey.
The bill aimed to change current New Jersey law, which permits 16- and 17-year-olds to get married with parental consent and those under the age of 16 to marry with the approval of a family court judge. A republican sponsored the bill, but Christie stood in opposition, citing religious freedom and noting the age of consent in New Jersey is 16, reports Politico.
Unchained At Last, a non-profit group that seeks to help women in arranged and forced marriages, estimates there have been at least 3,600 marriages in New Jersey involving someone under the age of 18 between 1995 and 2015 and 166 of those involved children 15-years-old or younger.
“The shocking truth is that child marriage is legal right now in New Jersey, and it’s shocking that thousands of children have been married here recently, most of them minor girls married to adult men,” Fraidy Reiss, executive director of Unchained at Last, said in a committee hearing, according to Politico….
“An exclusion without exceptions would violate the cultures and traditions of some communities in New Jersey based on religious traditions,” Christie wrote in the veto message, according to Philly.com. “Judicial oversight would permit consideration of these factors in the 16 and 17-year-old timeframe.”

mortimer says
Is Christie in FAVOR of child marriage? honor killings? beheading? Dhimmitude? political assassination? vigilante killing of blasphemers?
Yes/No.
Permitting Sharia to be implemented is a ‘YES’ to Sharia.
Jim says
Oh, come on! The law permitting marriages of 16 and 17 year olds was already on the books. Christie says that if 16 is the age of consent for sex, and you take away the right to marry, then what options are available to a pregnant 17 year old? Abortion and having the child out of wedlock would be her only legal options. This law wasn’t written to accommodate Muslims. Sometimes these things happen in Christian homes, too, and, while it’s not the optimal time to get married, if a young, expectant couple wants to marry, and they have the support of their parents, it can work out to be the best solution. Families deserve to have the option to make that decision. And everything said in these comments about how terrible it is for Muslim girls to be coorced into forced marriages is just as true at 18, 19, and 20. They are no more able to stand up against their communities at any age.
Jamie says
Yeah, people’s rights to religion and tradition, that they’ve carried over from other countries, are definitely more important than the welfare of a child.
Jamie says
It’s not just America that’s at risk of being taken over by Islamic/Sharia religion.
We have a Muslim woman from the Brotherhood in Canadian politics and she has just passed a bill to do with finding “islamicphobes” in Canada that borders on blasphemy laws, say the press.
A public school board near Toronto is also now allowing Muslim children to prey unmonitored weekly, yet they don’t even sing Christmas carols at Christmas and aren’t supposed to host any religion.
Our Prime Minister is just like this Christie! He is so ignorant of Islam and the intentions of this culture in general! All they do is complain because they know we will give them everything! I’ve never seen a group so entitled!
I don’t like some things about Trump but he’s our only hope at this point. These people are taking over the world and we’re letting them. And that will be a dangerous thing. We will lose our countries and freedoms.
They are becoming the majority in Toronto, too.
People need to stop thinking about their “religious” rights for two minutes and start thinking about our own safety. Before it’s too late.
Stop letting them in to our politics!!!
Ben Kennedy says
The people of New Jersey had better check with the citizens of England, France and Germany, to see how they like their government sharing power with the Mohammedan “religion of Satan”. While the so called chickens have not come home to roost with those governments who willfully share power with Satan’s disciples, the people living under those government are suffering greatly. The people of New Jersey are being led into slavery by their governor and must stop it before the gate closes behind them. Meanwhile, all Americans need to sit up and take notice of these things. The moslem’s are at war against civilization. Who do you think is winning?
Bruce Crichton says
Chris Christie is Democrat scum, totally devoid of intelligence and morality.

Is Chris Christie INSANE? Is Chris Christie in FAVOR of child marriage? THAT’S PEDOPHILIA, CHRIS!
DOES CHRIS CHRISTIE FAVOR PEDOPHILIA?
Does he?
vlparker says
No, he’s not insane, he’s a politician looking out for himself and only himself. Nothing new here. Christie is a slimeball and always has been.
mortimer says
Christie supports Sharia laws provisions:
1) FGM 2) Political assassination 3) Dhimmitude 4) Censorship 5) Child Marriage 6) Cousin Marriage 7) Rape of married captives 8) Slavery 9) Cruel Punishments 10) Plundering 11) Slandering Kufaar 12) Honor killing of one’s children and grandchildren 13) Jizzya tax 14) One-party Islamic state under dictator 15) Wife-beating.

Terry says
Christie -as a federal prosecutor- investigated Kushner’s father – and because he (Kushner’s father) hired a hooker for his brother-in-law ( and taped it) Christie went after the elder Kushner, for campaign financing violations– and sought maximum jail time. Mr. Kushner, the elder, did serve time.
His son is married to Ivanka Trump. Christie was bounced form the Trump transition team; he lsot a shot at becoming the US Attorney General.
And before, Kushner bought the web blog that broke the story of the tie ups on the George Washington bridge to punish a mayor who did not support his re-election.
Jeanette says
Christie has likely received a fat payment from the Saudis to push Islam in New Jersey.
It’s going to be very interesting watching NJ earn the reputation of being the Pedophile State, when the Muslims start bringing their little girls into the state to marry them off to the pedophiles.
Wellington says
Chris Christie is massively ignorant of Islam and I strongly believe he intends to remain so. He is, of course, part of the problem. His kind are a very big part of the problem.
Terry says
He was critical of Trump in the beginning of the primary season, calling him a bully. Then when he saw that he (Christie) had no support, he became an advocate for Trump-my guess, hoping if Trump would win, get a top level job. See my above post-re Christie and Kushner.
But Christie also embraced Obama- and spoke favorably about him, also.
Wellington says
Looked at your above post and thank you for it, Terry. I do think Christie has all along been telling the truth about “Bridgegate,” that two or three of his aids did this without his knowledge, including one Bridget Kelly (yeah, can you believe her first name?), but on the matter of Islam the man is appalling and, as I already wrote above, he will never learn.
Christie is highly intelligent and has done good things for New Jersey (e.g., standing up to the way too powerful teacher’s union), but, in the final analysis, he was meant to be a Governor and nothing more. Personally, while I acknowledge his high intelligence and competency as a lawyer, he is still deficient in ways that, long term, would not benefit America. In short, he’s a sharp politico but America doesn’t need any more sharp politicos (they’re all over the place) but rather people of tremendous moral intelligence and greatness. Christie falls short here.
Bill W. says
He is dead man walking, made enemies in both parties, I see in his future real estate lawyer in house sales. Move along little fat man your day in the sun is done , do you really think the Islamics will hire you now?
Jeanette says
You don’t have to be a scholar on Islam to understand pedophilia.
gravenimage says
So true, Jeanette. This should be a no-brainer for any decent Westerner–you don’t have to understand why Islam sacralizes pedophilia in order to oppose it.
ensitue says
And to think he was almost our President, such a lose (for Islam)
Lucia Bartoli says
Well the Governor certainly sealed his future political aspirations. Or is he also a patron at the Pedo-Pizza place? This is such distressing information when one considers that the so called marriages are between grown men and CHILDREN as young as 9 and can be consummated at puberty–often 11 or 12. I cannot imagine anything more career-suicidal than this. If our POTUS considers this numb-nuts for any really important position, I will protest that vociferously.
Paul Attah says
paedophile is an Islamic tradition their satanic prophet slept with a 9 years old girl this thing called religion in US is known to be a cult (secret cult ) for that matter supported by other sinister and occultic organizations called Liberals
eagle says
CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood will have a real problem with this law. I would expect the Governor would have more guts and stand firm against Sharia law. His concern for a religious exception is concerning to the American people. He is listening too hard to the Muslim movement. The Governor is scared. The Muslim migration is now becoming the majority in New Jersey. This country is going to hell soon if something isn’t done soon.We need leaders with guts to stand up for the Judaeo-Christian core beliefs of the American people.The Muslim threat movement has been censored in the news media for too long a time. The truth about the Muslims is shameful and embarrassing to the American people so the censorship will continue. No Sanctuary cities. Please support President Donald Trump’s agenda.
Vyx says
The vast majority of politicians favor Islam. It is their favorite minority and they will do anything– even sanction pedophilia– to curry favor with this group.

The Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act. The following: https://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2017/04/25/doj-shakes-down-culpeper-county-for-mosque/
is a perfect example of what is going on all across the country. This Act needs to be repealed or amended. The abuse of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act by CAIR that allows a Muslim mosque to be placed in any town against the town’s people’s core beliefs and zoning laws or face a massive law suit the towns people cannot afford. A Mosque in any town, every town paid for by the Islamic society will over run this country. The American people need to have their peace. A mosque forcibly placed in a predominately Christian town regardless of a town’s zoning law and the will of the majority of the people. All issues Islamic lead back to immigration, CAIR and George Soro. The news media continues to censor this news from the American people.
Jeanette says
All issues lead back to the globalist elites, who INTEND to destroy western civilization, and have imported Muslims to do just that.
We don’t target those elites often enough, so they are getting off the hook for their MASSIVE guilt.

He is a disgrace to the name he uses. He should quickly stand before a human judge and change it to something more moo ham ed ish. Something befitting his choices, his attitudes, his leanings, his goals, his aspirations.
One day, he will stand before The Divine Judge and answer for his crimes against the children.
underbed cat says
It never ceases to amaze me how the leaders can be so clueless….about the MB, outreach agenda’s from the mosques, understanding of Islam and sharia, OIC, the purge of the words from the 9/11 Comm Report and HLS…how the schools teaching our children are promoting Islam is unreal. So he has in fact found nothing odd about the Haddiths, Quran….or just never read anything on the computer .afraid of being called a racist and deplorable….and may have feared outing of information…by media…which is exactly how Sharia gets into states under the cover of religious freedom…just does not know about stateless Islam and their laws that call for jihad. We are in a fix until the leaders get it…know it.
Joeyn says
So sad to see that Islamists, Leftists and all sorts of con-men have infiltrated both the Democratic and Republican parties big-time. Hoping earnestly that Donald Trump is not one of them and he drains the swamp off all these crooks.

Steve Klein says
Did anyone here watch President Trump’s National Security adviser Gen. “H. R.” McMaster give his press conference today; all the untruths he told the nation about Israel and Islam? Devout Muslim pervert the peaceful teachings of Islam. Muslim want to live side by side Israel in peace and security? This administration is morphing into a George W. Bush II presidency? Does anyone here appreciate the eight year nightmare Bush gave the nation in the aftermath of all his betrayals and dishonesty? Welllington? Where are you? Anyone? Is this what you want to follow President Trump?
Berengaria says
Thanks Steve, McMaster is one nasty piece of Islamist work, & I can’t believe that President Trump would put this Disciple of “Prayer Rug Brennan” into his Cabinet.
As long as McMaster holds power in any GOV Position, ISLAM will be Championed over American Interests. “WIN THE HEARTS & MINDS OF THE ISLAMIST ENEMY” is the motto that he lives by & he will push that Agenda on Others to the Detriment of the USA.

Yes–McMaster is an idiot.
Kiki says
No matter what religion somebody is part of…it is not all right to allow child marriage!
For Pete’s sake, of course there will be sickos who will take advantage of this loophole to marry 11 or 12 year olds! Christie should put children’s safety and well-being over politics.
Anyone in New Jersey should write to newspaper editors about this, share it on social media, demand change from the state government. This isn’t something that should be swept under the rug.
“Judicial consent would permit consideration of 16 and 17 year olds.”?? There’s a huge flaw with that….how can Christie be sure those 16 or 17 year olds are not being forced into a marriage?
Jeanette says
And how are we to know that the judge involved isn’t being paid off to rule in favor of the pedophile that is after the child?
Max Publius says
Secular states don’t recognize the “sacredness” of marriage, that’s for churches, etc. For a secular government, the institution of marriage is only recognized for tax purposes. Marriages to minors hurt the state in numerous ways, so the state has no obligation to recognize them.

As I see it, there are just two logical options for the New Jersey voters now: to dethrone Christie or to rename their state into New Sudan. Probably neither would happen, I guess (like in California, New York and other ready-for-Sharia states)…
Gary Hamilton says
Christie is ‘unprincipled’.
At one time I admired him as a person who could manage a cloud.
I conclude that he is merely a bully.
It was contemptible that he sucked up to Obama.
Lord forbid that he be appointed as FBI director.
Hector Archytas says
Child marriage is about produce weapon as suicide bombers in mass production. It is a crime against our civilisation as well as against the child. Culture have a meaning. They are not to be respected when the meaning is aimed to exterminated us.
We should learn how to judge foreign culture in relation to our survaval interest. In fact, it should be the number one criteria to take a decision.
Survival is a divine duty and not an option !!!!!!!
Anne Smith says
What on earth is happening to America?
I find it very hard to believe that the country which won WWII and saved Europe has jettisoned all its principles and the high standing which it once enjoyed.
We had hoped President Trump would clean up the mess but I suppose Obama has left such an enormous cesspit that it would daunt anyone and will take a long time.
Jeanette says
It wasn’t just Obama; Clinton let a mess, too, and remember Bush’s refusal to consider dealing with illegal aliens until his 8th year in office?
So that’s between 19 and 20 years of damage to America (minimum) that Trump is trying to undo. I doubt he (or anyone) could manage it in eight years.
Jeanette says
Excuse me – that’s between 23 and 24 years of damage to America.
Troybeam says
Each and every elected officials needs a huge reminder on what the Constitution states about protect, defend and preserve portion, then they need a full course on why sharia law is exactly that, a legal system for Muslims only, repeat for Muslims only.
Finally, both federal and states need to make it clear that the Constitution is the nations legal system, if any Muslim wants sharia they must leave the nation and seek it in another nation with all passports taken away and never allowed to return to USA, make English the nations language, no more press 1 for English, 2 for Spanish BS,
I rather like the idea of shutting down Mosques, they all teach sharia (fiqh), the land Mosques are built are considered an Islamic state, not American owned, that’s fuel for thought.
Islam with its sharia law is a plague upon America, spreading to end our freedom and enslave the nation, remember Adolf Hitler praised Islam and Islam took part in the concentration camps. Do your research.
Margie says

This man is not worthy of being a Republican. He has no ideology. He is interested only in himself. He is consumed by ambition and will do and say anything to rise in power.
George says
New Jersey has allowed 16 year olds to marry for years – probably since the 1700’s. Why should they change this long standing public policy because of what Muslims do?
Try reading beyond the headlines and the propaganda of advocacy groups. Try a little thought.

WTF? What a monster. I can’t believe he would condone the rape of children–and he *acknowledges* that this is because of “religion”–i.e., Islam, which sacralizes pedophilia.
Kudos to Fraidy Reiss fro bringing the bill.
