Abe Foxman is an idiot who’d love to play the role of Max in the Sound of Music. But I’m not sure I can agree with critics of Christie for this. Even during the Spanish Inquisition, Muslims held high positions in Spanish society, such as judges, professors, and high ranking royal officials. (Contary to legend, The Inquisition only targeted people who claimed to be Christian.) The judge has sworn an oath to uphold the laws of America. I’m familar with Taqqiya, but I’d say judge him on his rulings and conduct. His clients *were* found innocent, and the accused deserve adequate legal counsel.
Or have I missed something? Is there something these articles have failed to explain? Has this guy ever expressed support for medieval Shariah law? Has he ruled like a leftist, activist?
As for Christie, and Sohail Mohammed, you have to wonder why Christie would select this man of all the legal minds in New Jersey; someone with, at very least, a questionable desire to represent some admitted Islamic terrorist operatives. Christie doesn't take the Sharia threat seriously, and seems to have little concept of the true nature of Islam. If he did, he would be reluctant to gratuitously appoint a man of Mohammed's obvious affinities to the bench. Here's an interesting article for you: http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=45393
