The Council on the American Islamic Relations (CAIR) excoriated many of its critics in their "Islamophobia" report, but the group also had a "Best List Inductees" which included New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
CAIR says the list was compiled as a way to recognize those who "deserve recognition for their outstanding contributions to pushing back against Islamophobic trends in 2011 and 2012." The report says Christie is receiving the accolade primarily for his nomination of a Muslim judge and statements in the ensuing controversy:
Following Islamophobic criticism of his nomination of Sohail Mohammed as a New Jersey Superior Court judge, Christie pushed back. Commenting on the baseless fear some were spreading about Islamic religious principles Christie bluntly stated, "This Sharia law business is just crap. It's just crazy, and I'm tired of dealing with the crazies." Of the nominee, Christie stated, “He is an extraordinary American who is an outstanding lawyer and played an integral role in the post-September 11th period in building bridges between the Muslim American community in this state and law enforcement.”106 At the height of the Park 51 controversy during the summer of 2010, Christie spoke admirably about the Muslim community in the United States, stating, “We cannot paint all of Islam with that brush. We can’t paint all of Islam with the Muhammad Atta brush. We have to bring people together.”(continued)

That’s yet another strike against him. He’s a self-righteous prick.
I bet he is so proud. snark
That means he will be our next president ... continuation of a trend.
What do you expect when he has a Muslim boyfriend?
Chris Christie’s ties to Islam will finish him off just as effectively as Marco Rubio’s devotion to Amnesty killed his Presidential fantasies.
And the GOP wonders why an increasing number of voters stay home on election night.
One can but hope.
the kiss of death, politically speaking
Muslims: human Africanized bees with great PR firms: all credit goes to FReeper tumblindice for that on-target characterization of the enemy.
“One can but hope.”
...and we can help push it along..
Chsitie is, unfortunately, living proof that fat weakens brain cells and values held.
Yu, Christie for the ROP! They’ve been for peace since....
Chris Christie supports Islamic Terrorism....he attacked the folks trying to stop the 9/11 Terrorist Shrine Mosque planned for Ground Zero...so CAIR supporting him no surprise
We’re fighting Islamophobia too! Will we make the list?

This reads like a Sandusky pedophile denial case. To have deaf ears like this is riiculous.
worse part is Islamofascists know we are right and that Christy is an idiot, and I know this because as a foreign student I have seen them smile to the like of the focernor onlt to turn around sneer at the low self esteem, in total anticipation of screwin them.
So there is at least one pig that jihadists like.
