Reader comment on item: Gov. Christie's Strange Relationship with Radical Islam

Gentlemen/Ladies; I am a former NJ State Senator very well known for exposing corruption in this state for the last 15 years. Gov. Christie is aware of who I am. As the Former NJ U.S. Atty, I sent numerous letters to him containing information about corruption. He noted that during a speech in Southern Jersey. As such when I requested formal permission to testify at the Judiciary Committee hearing re: the Sohiel Mohammed appointment, I was never called. I had been a member of the Judiciary Committee. They cancelled the hearing at which I was to speak and then held it while I was away. They claim they forgot to call me and apologized. I did not accept the apology and told the Committee Aide it was deliberate, not an oversight.

There were a few who testified against Sohiel Mohammed. However, all of the NJ Press knows of my background and my testimony would have carried weight. I am very unhappy with this nomination but even more disturbed at Christie's response calling those against Mr. Mohammed "crazies." I submit that Gov. Christie actually knows very little about Sohiel Mohammed; even less about the structures of Jihadist leaning organizations. Thus, Christopher Christie has unwittingly or deliberately aided and abetted Jihadist- leaning organizations. It makes perfect sense, that when an individual is accused of terror activities in N.J. their atty will chose an Islamic leaning N.J. Judge.

The only thing to do now is to monitor Judge Mohammed's rulings and catalog whom goes before him; how Judge Mohammed rules. I have traveled worldwide and met with women living under Islamic rule. They have very hard lives. We, in this country would never have permitted such practices. Mark my words, under Judge Mohammed, those arrested for terrorism or violence against their women will be judged innocent. It is clear that Christopher Christie's national ambitions have colored his actions. He is playing to the many Muslim votes in Northern Jersey. Finally, it is essential to note that under strong Islamic rule overseas, women do not fare well at all. I would like U.S. Women's organizations to take up their plight. Alene S.

Christie's appointment of Sohiel Mohammed, I plan to remove that registration and become Independent. 856/429-0844
