New Jersey governor Chris Christie has nominated a Muslim lawyer who defended Islamic terror suspects after 9/11 for a spot on the state’s top Court.



Sohail Mohammed “worked in the aftermath of the attacks to try to foster trust between American Muslims and law enforcement, particularly federal officials,” reports The New York Times.

Christie apparently met him at an annual Ramadan dinner at the American Muslim Union some time ago, and spoke very highly of the Muslim lawyer.

Mohammed gained noteriety while defending The Fort Dix Six, a group of would-be Islamic terrorists from Yugoslavia and the Middle East who plotted to shoot up the Fort Dix military base back in January 2006.

”If these people did something, then they deserve to be punished to the fullest extent of the law,” Mohammed said of his clients at the time. “But when the government says – ‘Islamic militants,’ it sends a message to the public that Islam and militancy are synonymous.”

“Don’t equate actions with religion,” he said.
