Third Possible Sharia Supremacist Nominated to Federal Bench, Republicans Yawn
Sharia TipSheet
October 2023
UPDATE: confirmed by the Senate 11/19/24
If confirmed, Mustafa Kasubhai would be the third Muslim federal district judge in the U.S. During his confirmation hearing, Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee pressed Kasubhai on his left-wing views on preferred pronouns, heterosexual relations (infused with ‘violence and control’), and diversity, equity, and inclusion. He refused to call the violence and destruction during a Black Lives Matter protest in Eugene, OR in 2020 a “riot”. He was asked to disavow the Marxist sentiments in his writings which, among other things, express antipathy towards private property.
But he was not asked to disavow the tenets of Islamic scripture advocating violent jihad or the supremacy of sharia law over the U.S. Constitution. Once again, Republicans lacked the courage to delve into whether a Muslim nominee’s personal beliefs are incompatible with appointment to the federal bench. Consequently, the public has no idea whether Kasubhai can possibly uphold the provisions of the oath of office requiring federal judges to faithfully perform all the duties incumbent upon them under the Constitution.
The Republicans have gone along with normalizing allowing Muslim judicial nominees to skate to federal judgeships without serious scrutiny of their personal beliefs and in reckless disregard of the likelihood the Republicans are bringing an enemy inside the wire, as a result.
Does Mustafa Kasubhai believe in sharia supremacy over the U.S. Constitution with violent jihad as the means to achieve it, in accordance with the dictates of standard Islamic doctrine? Where does he stand on beheading babies in the name of Islam?
Thanks to the Republicans who had an opportunity to find out but fell down on the job again, we will never know.
