Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has nominated Ontario judge Mahmud Jamal to the Supreme Court of Canada.

Jamal, who would be the first person of colour to sit on the top court, was a longtime litigator before becoming a judge of the Ontario Court of Appeal two years ago.

Canada gets its first Muslim on the Supreme Court. How long before Biden tries to follow?

Take a number after the black women who will replace Breyer.

Wait ‘til Clarence Thomas has an unexpected accident. Any day now.

Why do moslems not speak out against slavery?

Canada gets its first Muslim on the Supreme Court.>>>>>>

I am OK with it , as long as we do not have any Alahwahoo Whackbar, Sharia Law based juris imprudence.

He looks Caucasian to me. How is he a person of color?

[rdl6989]

Yep.

“ Apparently, he converted to the Baha’i faith.”

Apostate muslims get murdered, don’t they?

[BillyBoy]

He is Ba'hai, NOT Muslim.

This "person of color" looks a bit like Keith Olbermann though:

In Islamic countries under Sharia law, yes.

More like Eugene Levy to me. :)

Now that you mention it, I can see that too!
