A Few Things You Should Know About Chris Christie
By Janet LevyNew Jersey Governor Chris Christie held an Iftar dinner in the Governor’s Mansion in 2012 and invited his “friend” Imam Mohammed Qatanani, a self-admitted member of Hamas and a defender of a charity that provided funds to children of suicide bombers. Christie referred to Qatanani as “a man of great good will” and defended him when the Department of Homeland Security attempted to deport him for not disclosing his arrest and conviction in Israel in 1993 for involvement with Hamas. Qatanani publicly ranted against Jews and in support of Hamas on the eve of his deportation hearing.
Christie has also publicly defended Sohail Mohammed, the lawyer who
defended Qatanani, who is a board member of the American Muslim Union,
an organization whose leadership is linked to Hamas. In 2011,
Christie successfully pushed for Mohammed to become a Superior Court
judge.
The New Jersey governor has derided anyone who perceives shariah
law as a threat in the U.S. despite the fact that 23 states have already
used shariah as a factor in their deliberations.
Chris Christie called for an investigation into the NYPD’s
counterterrorism procedures when they conducted surveillance of mosques
and a Muslim student group – the Muslim Student Association (MSA) – an
identified front for the Muslim Brotherhood. He was also vocal in his
support for the Ground Zero mosque at the graveyard of 9-11.
Last week, Governor Christie told those who support amnesty for
individuals who are in the United States illegally, that he will pass
in-state tuition rates for illegals during a lame-duck session.
For his last gubernatorial race, Christie accepted campaign
contributions from several liberal sources, including George Soros’
hedge fund and UC Berkeley. He has been steadfast in his support for
the Obama administration.
NOTE: Chris Christie was New Jersey’s Attorney General during the
investigation of the massacre of the Armanious Coptic Christian family
in Jersey City in 2005.
