Chris Christie’s attorney general appoints Islamists to advisory panel
Daily Caller ^

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s appointee picked four Islamists for an advisory panel intended to improve relations between the government and the state’s small but growing community of Muslim immigrants and settlers, according to a new report by RadicalIslam.org.

Christie commissioned the 10-member advisory panel in the spring when Islamist and progressive political groups objected to routine surveillance by New York police of nearby Muslim neighborhoods.

Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa, a Christie appointee, set up the panel, which met for the first time in September.

The panel meets with state police and political leaders, giving Islamists an opportunity to push their top-level demand that Muslim neighborhoods be allowed to govern themselves by their own rules, including Islam’s Shariah law. After a recent meeting, a spokesman for the New Jersey attorney general would only say that the gathering was “productive” and that “several issues were raised.”

The police checks on New Jersey Muslim communities began after the Sept. 11, 2011, atrocity, in which 19 Muslims killed 3,000 Americans in September 2001. Since then, numerous Muslims, imams and Islamist activists have been jailed or deported for harboring or providing aid to Islamic radicals or jihadi groups.

The names of the 10 panel members were on a list of attendees at the September meeting. The list was discovered by the RadicalIslam.org site.

The four Islamists appointed by Christie to the outreach panel include the controversial Imam Mohammad Qatanani, who is facing deportation for trying to hide his ties to the Islamist terror group Hamas.

Wouldn't this be a government (Sharia) within a government? That's what they're doing in certain areas of England now, I believe. I'm no authority on this, just wondering.
