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.”

Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt’s military — even as Cairo’s security forces massacre anti-government activists.
[by “anti-government activists” is meant church-burning jihadists]
“We cannot paint all of Islam with that brush”
He is talking about 1 in 1000. So what do you do with the other 999 who want to murder us?
When the majority of terrorists bombings/killings of innocent people are attributed to the Amish or some other radical group, I will relegate Muslims to a lower rung on the pole.
If Christie is on CAIR’s good list, He isn’t on mine (wasn’t anyway, just one more reason.)
Coming soon to a mall in New Jersey?
After this weekend’s multi massacres the world is really REALLY feeling the love for eeslam
Rand Paul is dead wrong on this issue unless he knows something the rest of us don’t know
THe new frontman/fatman for an anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collective? KKK or CCC Chris Christie Collective
Christie is on my list.....my $hit list.
Cognitive dissonance.
