The rage of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is the best endorsement Zahid Quraishi could have received.
Note Zahra Billoo’s casual racism and supremacism: her use of the term “white Christian” to signify the lowest of the low is telling.
“Islamist Group Slams Presidential Appointment of First Muslim Judge to Federal Court,” by Benjamin Baird, Providence, June 23, 2021:
In a historic June 10 vote, the US Senate confirmed Judge Zahid Quraishi’s appointment to the US District Court for New Jersey, making him the first Muslim federal judge in American history. Although the nomination received bipartisan support, an unlikely source sharply criticized Quraishi’s appointment: a leading civil rights organization that claims to speak on behalf of Muslim American interests.
According to Slate, a senior leader from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was “furious” following President Joe Biden’s decision to appoint Quraishi, joining a pair of anonymous sources in protesting the nomination.
“I would much rather have a white Christian judge with progressive values,” said Zahra Billoo, head of CAIR’s San Francisco branch, a supposedly non-partisan Islamic civil rights group. “It’s not enough that he is Muslim. In fact, it’s insulting,” she added.
Billoo and her allies would prefer a civil rights trailblazer, someone from an apparent “list” of “20 to 50 Muslims who have been in the fight” for social justice. CAIR’s history of civil advocacy work includes defending cop killers and terrorists, making Quraishi the “wrong” Muslim for the job.
“We don’t know what his stances are on civil rights because you can’t find one article or anything that he’s written publicly about the Muslim struggle in the last 20 years post-9/11,” an unnamed Muslim politician told Slate.
A matter of pride for most civil servants, Quraishi’s history of public and military service is alarming to CAIR, which has promoted anti-government conspiracies and vilified American service members. Specifically, Quraishi’s role as a “Detention Operations Legal Advisor” for the US Army in Iraq has “sparked concern” among CAIR officials, who issued a press release suggesting that the nominee may be guilty of underwriting prisoner abuse….

boohoo billoo should hope she never is brought before his court due to her use of slander and libel…as well those “anonymous” complainers should hope.
mozlums are only satisfied if they get everything they want….and in this country, they have yet to do that, so they are constantly finding fault, complaining, whining, lying, committing hoaxes, etc.

I try not to be too prideful, but I have no shame in saying, “I’m White and Christian…at least the first part without doubt, and constantly working on the second part to make it as true as possible in imperfection.”
boohoo billooo wouldn’t like me either if I had a bench from which to judge her actions.
Clive Delmonte says
CAIR is always FURIOUS at something. I don’d pay any attention any more.

Hamas-linked CAIR enraged at Muslim federal judge: ‘I would much rather have a white Christian’
………….
I guess Quraishi is “insufficiently Islamic”.
James Lincoln says
If one is a “high profile” muslim, and even CAIR doesn’t support you, one thing is for certain:
You’re not a very devout muslim…
Hoi Polloi says
Well, a racist attack by a muslim. Imagine that? And the first actual incident of islamophobia; of course, also from a muslim. They’re willing to go quite a long way to prove islamophobia happens.
Mike says
with this being said by CAIR this is an clear cut example that Muslims was a Shera Law judge and not follow the American laws. So be warned
PRCS says
“I believe it’s the wrong guy,” said one Muslim former elected official in New Jersey, who asked not to be named because of the political sensitivity of the nomination. “Ask any African American how happy they are about Clarence Thomas. It’s a very similar perspective at a bunch of different levels,” he said.
Oh, the propaganda, and all those who will blindly accept such a ridiculous notion.
SKA says
I had never heard anything for good or ill regarding Judge Qureishi. But I am guessing from CAIR’s outrage that this is a juriss who takes his oath to protect, preserve and defend the Constitution seriously and who does not allow the “intersectional” accidents of ancestral ethnicity or religion to define who he is and what his vocation is. Bravo!

A lot here to digest. Much.

“I would much rather have a white Christian judge with progressive values…It’s not enough that he is Muslim. In fact, it’s insulting…”.
I expect to hear that Judge Quraishi is “worse than a Jew”. That’s how one Muslim insults another.
OLD GUY says
CAIR; ” CONVICTING ANOTHER IRRATIONAL RADICAL”. Now there is a good idea for you.
Otis says
Even appointing that judge in itself is still a gross mistake. We have learnt how deceptive Muslims are and one of them is this.To me this is one of the stealth ways of making sure that the candidate doesn’t face opposition from kafirs since the reason will be that if he faces rebellion from his own he might not be following Islamic diktats.What if the Judge decides to be Islamic enough? Americans you’re being played.Removing Muslims from Western nations will require only the battle- hardened and salt-of- the- earth knowledgeable individuals of the threat Islam poses.If Muslims succeed in subjugating the West then the rest of the world will be in darkness and superstition.

Thats the problem with the religion of peace in a nutshell…too many Billoo’s and not enough Quraishis.
