Hamas-linked CAIR enraged over Biden’s handlers’ Muslim judicial nominee

CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements about how Islamic law should be imposed in the U.S. (Ahmad denies this, but the original reporter stands by her story.) CAIR chapters frequently distribute pamphlets telling Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement. CAIR has opposed virtually every anti-terror measure that has been proposed or implemented and has been declared a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates. CAIR’s Hussam Ayloush in 2017 called for the overthrow of the U.S. government. CAIR’s national outreach manager is an open supporter of Hamas.

Opposition of that quality speaks well of Quraishi.

“Muslim Brotherhood group comes out against Biden judicial nominee,” by Kyle Shideler, Center for Security Policy, May 3, 2021:

A recent Biden judicial nominee, Zahid N. Quraishi, who would be the first Muslim American federal judge with a lifetime appointment, has come under fire from an unusual source, U.S. Muslim groups, some with ties to Islamist groups.

Biden, who went out of his way to court Islamist groups during the 2020 presidential election, has apparently frustrated them with this most recent announcement.

In an article for left-leaning Slate, a number of named and unnamed detractors raised questions about Qurashi, claiming that “notable Muslim organizations” such as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) were not consulted for the decision.  CAIR is an organization with extensively documented Muslim Brotherhood links and terror ties.

Quraishi joined the U.S. Army in 2003 and served as a Captain in the Judge Advocate General Corps, which included time as a legal advisor for Detention Operations. Quraishi also served as Counsel in the Department of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush.

CAIR’s Zahra Billoo publicly questioned Quraishi’s military service.

“He joined the military after 9/11, after that Iraq war began…This was at a time when Abu Ghraib was open. The government was suggesting the law didn’t matter, that they were above the law. So, was he advising them on how to skirt the law? What was he doing? It’s just a gaping hole. We don’t know,” Billoo told Slate

Billoo has a long track record of maligning the U.S. military, including infamously accusing them of “terrorism” on Memorial Day in 2015 and calling for the celebration of convicted cop killer Jamil Abdullah Amin as a “Black liberation soldier” instead.

Asra Nomani, a former Wall Street Journal reporter and counter-Islamist activist, indicated she recognized the hallmarks of Islamist smear tactics in the article about Quraishi.

“I don’t know Biden judicial appointee Zahid Quraishi, but I do know a character assassination by the Council on American-Islamic Relations,” Nomani wrote on Twitter, “Slate should not have published this hit piece, quoting so many unnamed assassins.”

“I would much rather have a white Christian judge with progressive values,” Billoo went on to say. “It’s not enough that he is Muslim. In fact, it’s insulting.”…
