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.”…
Keith O says
Something that pissed off cair? who cares?
The more that terrorist loving organization is angry about the better.
Simple fact is, no matter what anyone does, short of total submission to sharia, will make these turds happy. So, screw em!
CogitoErgoSum says
So Biloo would prefer a progressive Christian? Yes, I’m sure he would prefer a dim bulb like Joe Biden. Still, it would be great to see Biloo’s reaction if Quraishi were to announce he had become a Christian. You think many Muslims would have a problem with that?
gravenimage says
A small point, but Zahra Billoo is female. She is head of the San Francisco chapter of CAIR, and we see all too much if her out here.
And by “progressive Christian” she means some self-hating fool eager to grovel before Muslims.

“not consulted for the decision”
This is the arrogance of mozlums….they believe they have the legal rights that no one else has. Why should they be “consulted” before someone is nominated for a position?
In reality, cair should not be consulted on anything. The only thing they should be asked is, “Do you have your own attorney?”, and “How do you plead?”
Certainly, the only thing they “care” about is getting rabid mozlums in who will rule for islam at every turn.
And she, boo-hoo-hoo biloo, is much mistaken. There is no such thing as a “progressive Christian.”
If one is truly Christian, they don’t go any further than what Jesus commanded. Everything a Christian needs to be a faithful servant of God is right in the Bible. Progressing as a Christian would mean getting ever further away from what this mozlum creep wants.
Raja says
Somehistory,
I agree with you about being “progressive Christian”. This must be a ploy of the Left. Was Jesus a progressive? of course yes, he opposed social dogma prevalent then, opposed religious fanatics of his time. This is akin to saying the a scientists need to be progressive…
Emilie Green says
Even apart from the criticisms of this nominee by other Muslims, having a Muslim as a lifetime judge is frightening in and of itself. So he has views that these Muslim groups don’t like as of today. Once in office, he can easily flipped on his views, and become a “devout Muslim” (a scary descriptor). Muslims are notorious for their duplicity.
Infidel says
Pretty much agree. We’ve seen GOP-appointed judges flip once they got on the bench, and almost invariably, the shift is leftwards. Same thing could happen in this case, where he could, in the process of becoming more progressive, also become more islamic
somehistory says
John Roberts ring any bells?
Infidel says
Or even Kavanaugh and Amy Barrett
somehistory says
Roberts seemed so sincere when being questioned. I can’t recall how many times he has voted for the “conservative” side…but it doesn’t seem like many or even any.
After several years of him, I quit believing any of them would actually be what they claimed and were said to be. Including the ones you named.
Who knows, this guy cair hates just may not be as bad as Roberts.
Back a few years ago, the non-mozlum NJ judge ruled in favor of the mozlum scum who raped his wife…and his ruling had to be overturned due to his stupid error…evidently not knowing the law. He didn’t apply it if he did know it.

That’s my concern, Emilie.
PRCS says
How ever is he able to control himself with that leggy harlot sitting behind him?
James Lincoln says
A “white Christian judge with progressive values” would be either a:
1. Democrat.
2. RINO

Hamas-linked CAIR enraged over Biden’s handlers’ Muslim judicial nominee
…………….
This from Biden is pretty depressing.
But the reaction from “Islamists” is just more proof that no amount of appeasement can *ever* be enough. They also sense weakness from Biden, and so are demanding more and more.
PRCS says
CAIR, ever duplicitous CAIR, exercises an overt sleight of hand as it simultaneously defends Qurashi:
From the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, this:
CAIR Op-Ed: What Senators on the Judiciary Committee Should Know About “Sharia Law”
https://cairnational.medium.com/cair-op-ed-what-senators-on-the-judiciary-committee-should-know-about-sharia-law-ced00e3f33c8
Given that the term sharia law is a misnomer, an erroneous description of sharia (the straight path; defined and controlled by ISLAMIC LAW), it is so easy for Muslims like the article’s author to mock those who use it.
Muslims must surely laugh at every NO SHARIA LAW HERE sign.
notnolib says
CAIR is a terror organization. Its officers, its members, and its supporters are terrorists. Straight up. This “islam” that these terrorists support is what is commonly known as a “gutter cult”. Those that follow it are known as “gutter cultists”. Little known fact……”islam” was invented by a peodphile and pig-faced dog they call “mohammed”. He also invented their moon-god they call “allahahaha”. This mohammed also wrote the muslim terror guide they call “the koran”. It’s typically used for target practice and cat box lining by those that understand islam.
The best thing about islam is it serves as a bad example for human behavior.
OLD GUY says
Since when is C.A.I.R. a part of the American government that they need to be consulted about anything. C.A.I.R. is about as useful in our society as the NAZI party. They represent the ENEMY of America and should have no say in any decisions of our government.
