Let me be perfectly clear! I am NO fan of Gov. Christie. I will NEVER vote for him. I cannot forgive him for the the ill will he created by stabbing NJ Democrats in the back with his line item vetoes of budget items that he said he would support. He's been nothing but a pompous ass, except for this one exhortation of sanity.
We all know that Muslims in our country have been under attack the Republican + Tea Party Consortium's installation of fear against Sharia Law. Just go on YouTube and search Sharia Law, and you'll find all sorts of videos of members of Congress, the likes of Pat Robertson, and Fixed News all exhorting the fear of Sharia Law.
We all know that Muslims are like us, they just want to fit in. They are honorable people and some have paid the ultimate price in defending our country. Just like all Christians are not nut case extremists like Pat Robertson, not all Muslims are nut case extremists.
Below is video Gov. Christie's defense of his appointment of Sohail Mohammed, who is a Muslim, to the NJ Superior Court. Gov. Christie talks about Sohail Mohammed's activism in helping Muslims who were illegally detained after 9-11, as well as the fact that as a licensed lawyer and as a judge, Sohail Mohammed is sworn to uphold the NJ and US constitutions, and his record prooves just that.
While I will never vote for Gov. Christie, if I ever run into him I would buy him a drink and congratulate him for his eloquence on this subject! Kudos to you Gov., for putting this whole Sharia Law thing and a Muslim's honorable service to our state and nation into its proper perspective.
It may, however, cost you your chances of ever winning the Republican + Tea Party Consortium's nomination for President should you decide to run some day. And I'll give you kudos for that as well!
By the way, this video earned Gov. Christie a first time standing ovation on Lawrence O'Donnell's Last Word.
