Identity politics is the greatest scourge manipulated by Leftists against the West. No federal judge or candidate for any political office deserves to be in a position because of his or her identity, race, or religion, but solely on the merits of the candidate’s qualifications, competence, and commitment to the rule of law, as well as to human rights and freedoms.
“In their letter, Meng and the two legal organizations cite the nearly 400-year history of Muslims in the American colonies and the United States. The first Muslims in what is the now the U.S. were trafficked to the colonies as slaves stolen from Africa.”
To claim that Muslims have a 400-year history in America is wildly exaggerated. Also, did the letter cite Islam’s role in the transatlantic slave trade? Of course not. Nor does it say anything about the ongoing Islamic genocide against Christians in Africa. Anything about the black slavery that still persists in Libya, Mauritania, Algeria and Sudan? No.
The letter was intended for ignorant Leftist social justice warriors who have no clue about Islamic history, and who, instead of educating themselves, prefer to indulge in a victimhood narrative and wallow in guilt over things for which they were not responsible, comforting themselves with an unjustified feeling of moral superiority. All the while, they aid and abet Muslim Brotherhood interests.
Meng apparently could not name which Muslim judges she would recommend or why they might be good for American interests. As long as they are Muslim, that’s qualification enough for her.
“Meng urges Biden to appoint country’s first Muslim judges to federal bench if elected,” by David Brand, Queens Daily Eagle, October 13, 2020:
U.S. Rep. Grace Meng is using her influence among national Democrats to push for the appointment of Muslim judges to the federal bench for the first time if her party wins back the White House.
Meng, the vice chair of the Democratic Party, delivered a letter to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign Oct. 9 asking him and running mate Kamala Harris to publicly commit to the appointment of Muslim judges to the federal judiciary should they win next month’s presidential election. The letter was drafted by the Muslim Bar Association of New York and signed by the South Asian Bar Association of New York.
“The judiciary today does not reflect the America it presides over,” the letter states. “As of 2020, there is to our knowledge no appointed member of the federal judiciary who identifies as Muslim, nor has there ever been.”
In their letter, Meng and the two legal organizations cite the nearly 400-year history of Muslims in the American colonies and the United States. The first Muslims in what is the now the U.S. were trafficked to the colonies as slaves stolen from Africa.
Today, roughly 3.5 million Americans identify as Muslim, according to a 2018 Pew report.
Representation is crucial as Americans demonstrate for equity and against discrimination, including anti-Islamic prejudice, Meng and the bar associations told Biden….

Representative Grace Meng: Stupid is as stupid does.
Lion heart says
She is useful idiot
mortimer says
Party-propaganda-soaked Grace Meng should live in Afghastlistan, Pornistan or Soddy Barbaria before making such remarks. She will see how minorities and women are treated there, but her mind does not run on facts and logic.
I’ve seen a number of Leftards lose their enthusiasm for Islam once they are shocked to see how Muslims treat ‘others’ in Muslim-majority countries.
Propaganda-soaked leftards like Meng has a fantasy, sugar-coated version of a ‘benign’ Islam. It is a myth.
Jedothek says
Further, if a Muslim were up for approval for a federal court bench, certainly no democrat , and perhaps no republican, would ask them the key questjon: Would you, in the case of any conflict, set aside Sharia in favor of U.S. law?
Orville P. Cosmoski says
I would agree, however if you ask a Muslim if they wouild put aside Sharia they would in my opinion say yes but keep inmind they will use ‘Taggiza’ to promote the advancement of Islam. In plain English they will lie.
gravenimage says
Orville, your point is quite correct. Just for future reference, though–this is “Taqiyya”.
mortimer says
Agree with GI that the response to any question about putting Sharia law first would be ‘taqiyya’ … a bald-faced denial or subterfuge to avoid admitting the primacy of Sharia for the Muslim. What other answer would they possibly give?
Only a Muslim who has secretly become an apostate would be able to put the US constitution first, but a Muslim who is practicing may not put the US constitution first.
SHARIA LAW IS UPPERMOST for a practicing Muslim.
Christopher Watson says
We, in the west, are governed by two philosophies: Christianity and the Rule of Law which in the case of the United States is the Constitution. Whether one is a Christian or an Atheist is irrelevant. We believe in the Christian ethic. A moslem follows the Koran. It is totally at odds with Christianity. At one time the United States would not allow entry to anyone who could not swear allegiance to the Constitution.
PRCS says
Thant’s not true, Christopher.
Though many of our citizens believe in the Christian ethic, a great many do not. Hindus, Sikhs, and others for example.And atheists.
Unlike Islamic nations like Afghanistan, the First Amendment prohibits the establishment of a national religion.
We are governed by the Constitution and relevant U.S. law.
gravenimage says
The US Constitution is indeed based on Judeo-Christian ethics. This is very different from establishing a state religion.
PRCS says
Christopher said:
“We, in the west, are governed by two philosophies: Christianity and the Rule of Law”
We are not ‘governed’ by Christian philosophy.
Abortion is ‘the law of the land’. That’s not a Christian philosophy.
albertayyc says
This makes sense. One percent of the population requires a muslim SC jurist?
BTW, one percent is already too much.

Yes–and the Muslim population is *under* 1%.
Billy Chickens says
I’m saying the bleeding obvious here: A dedicated Muslim could never be a United States Supreme Court judge since Sharia Law is totally incompatible with Western law, not to mention our Constitution.
Meng has no clue. Not a one. Democrats have no logical coherent thought process, and this is the perfect example of saying that a dog can be a cat, i.e., Al Azhar turns out qualified American Constitutional lawyers and judges fit to sit on our Supreme Court.
Keith O says

Orville P. Cosmoski says
Meng does not have an understanding of Islamic supremacy and “Sharia” Islamists are here to overtake our democracy from within. Meng should in my opinion Study Islam and what is happening in other parts of the world where the so called religion of peace is committing genocide in Africa. Everywhere Muslims are reaching the majority non -Muslims suffer harassment, slavery, rape, murder and the complete breakdown of non-Muslim societies and their religion. We do not want this in America. No Muslim should EVER be on the Supreme Court or a candidate for presidency. If that should ever happen Meng will be among those useful idiots who will ‘vanish’….
Walter Sieruk says
That politician, Grace Meng has much gall to call on Joe Biden , if he actually becomes President, God forbid, to appoint Muslim judges to the Federal bench. Nevertheless Biden is so weak and feeble minded that he would be easily manipulated into installing Muslim judges to the Federal bench .
Furthermore, Joe Biden has terribly caved in to the influences of the Red/ Green Alliance
To make matters even worse Biden , no doubt , must like that Marxist- Islamic alliance.
Biden is really a dangerous possible threat to the safety and security of the American public , as for example his evil goal of defunding the police , Furthermore Biden under the control of the forces of the stealth jihadists with they goal for the advancement of Islam and the enactment of Sharia law in the USA
So Biden as president who would be a threat to the every foundation of America, the US Constitution .
Moreover, all this is a strong reminder of the wise words declared by Theodore Roosevelt in a speech. “There can be no fifty –fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only one hundred percent Americanism , only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”
Thus there should be no room in the Office of White House for such an awful un American man as Joe Biden
Indy says
If she like Muslim so much should move to Pakistan or Saudi so she can get taste of sharia law
Anna Yelena says
When I thought a person couldn’t possibly be more deranged here comes this woman. Who elected her? More uninformed people in her district who are no different than the ones who elected AOC, Omar and TLaib. She said Muslims were brought here as slaves. I may be wrong but the Arabs are the ones who sold Africans. From what I read, she’s one ignorant ——-, add your own adjective. It’s a wonder she didn’t end he idiotic request to Biden: Inshallah! In God we Trust to save us.

Biden will pick whoever his” political handlers ” tell him to pick. The man could not order lunch off a menu by himself at this point without help. It is sad that the democrats pick someone with dementia. Harris will be in charge in no time a political hack glad to pander to the Moslems ,the PC cheerleaders ,BLM , communist ,anarchist , green new deal swindlers ,hucksters anyone who hates western civilization.

A7E.Pilgrim,

A7E.Pilgrim
Sounds like you’re with the “Golden Dragons.”
I have the highest possible respect for A7E Naval Aviators. As the base flight surgeon, I got a chance to fly in the back of a TA-7C trainer at NAS Lemoore. The pilot in the front went on to become the skipper of an F/A-18 squadron.
Thank you for your service!
A7E.Pilgrim says
I was a Dragon from 1974-1976 and 1982-1985. I left in 1985 right after VA-192 got orders to deploy to MCAS Iwakuni, Japan to join the Marine Air Group there. When they returned to Lemoore they transitioned to F/A-18s.
PRCS says
I was a PR1 in VS-38 during the ’78 Enterprise WestPac. One of our pilots (a tall man nicknamed ‘Wookie’) transitioned to the A7 community some time later. Impacted terrain at the Fallon range I believe–(target fixation?). Was a great guy.
A7E.Pilgrim says
I was Air Operations Officer on Enterprise 1985-1987. Flinging one’s aircraft at the ground at 45 degrees dive angle is not a natural act. It takes intense concentration.

somehistory says
These slimy idiots just keep coming out of the woodwork…like migrating termites….bent on the destruction of their own home.
This woman is a fool of the worst kind. Did she tell the public before she was elected…imagine how many fools it took in that district to elect such a fool as she…that she was a secret moslim, or that she secretly held the views that moslims hold, such as the subjugation of women and little girls…and even little boys…to the sexual lusts and whims and “urges” of the dirty, hairy, filthy, evil moslim males?
Did she inform the public that she would try to have moslims seated on the “bench”…the seat where they can do a whole, heck of-a-of of damage?
She has an idiot’s look about her. And since she is using her elected office to promote a “religion,”…one over another…she should be thrown out of office for the evil she is inside, and the virtual breaking of the Law of the Constitution. After all, since she is a “rep” in Congress, she is not allowed to place one religion above another. But, since any msolim would do, she is promoting islam over other religions.
Every time someone is nominated for the office of president, or for the “bench,” their religion comes up as a matter of concern….recall when JFK was running for President and his being a Catholic was an issue….because people don’t want to be “ruled” or “judged” on the basis of another person’s belief or “faith.”
Hint for those who worry when a person believes in Christ and is running for office: the person who has not “belief or faith,” will still use their personal views to make decisions. It’s human to do so.
Now this fool and backstabber of women, children and all non-moslims, is trying to use “religion” to have someone appointed. She ***wants*** a moslim to be making decisions based on islam….because they can’t do otherwise.
Kick her to the pavement.

What a dhimmi fool. She likely has no idea what Shari’ah law is–and she has opposed the “Muslim ban”, apparently having no idea that limiting the Muslim invasion keeps Americans safer.
She has applauded the EU’s designating Hezb’allah a terrorist group–but probably has no idea that this Jihad terror is orthodox Islam.

Patriotliz says
It’s very scary that with all this talk of “religious” freedom no one defines “religion” nor takes into account the sinister, intolerant, supremacist ideology that has the misnomer of “religion” but is a clear threat to America and our freedoms. Democrats love the so-called “religion” of Islam because they both want to destroy Western Civilization. That’s what we get for our “extreme tolerance” of anything historically called a “religion” w/o defining “religion.” The Founding Fathers were too naïve and should have known better when they didn’t define “religion”…did they think Islam would never reach our shores?
gravenimage says
Islam is a religion by every definition–it is also an *evil* religion. The First Amendment does not give Muslims the right to murder Infidels or impose Shari’ah law.
And the Founding Fathers were *not* naive–Adams and Jefferson had already had direct experience with Jihad against Infidels with the Barbary pirates, as well as their attacking and enslaving non-Muslims on Islamic grounds.
You may want to throw out the First Amendment, but it actually protects our rights to freedom of speech.
