The following report was posted earlier this month by Sharia TipSheet.
Muslim Judicial Nominee Won’t Answer Questions About Sharia Supremacy and Jihad
The Sharia TipSheet sent questions about sharia supremacy and jihad to Adeel Mangi, the first Muslim to be nominated for a seat on the federal appellate bench. The questions asked about the nominee’s personal beliefs on these matters and other incompatibilities between the U.S. Constitution and sharia law.
The questions were made more urgent by recent revelations the nominee sits on the board of the Alliance of Families for Justice, a left-wing group founded by a domestic terrorist which has campaigned for the release from prison of a half-dozen black nationalists convicted of killing police officers. The nominee has thus given the appearance by virtue of his board membership of condoning violence, which begs the question: Does he also condone jihad violence as a means of achieving Muslim world domination?
The questions were sent in early December to Mangi’s workplace, but there was no response. The TipSheet raised similar issues with regard to the three previous Muslim federal judicial nominees, but no public official — Democrat or Republican — has had the courage to put such questions to the nominees at their confirmation hearings or in questions for the record. Moreover, Mangi was not asked these questions at his confirmation hearing earlier this month, making him possibly the fourth Muslim to skate to the federal bench without the American public knowing whether he personally believes sharia law or the U.S. Constitution is the law of the land.
The TipSheet’s query letter and question set follow:
Questions for Judicial Nominee
To: Adeel Mangi
I publish the Sharia TipSheet at Liberato.US.
You are the fourth Muslim nominated for a federal judgeship.
The American people are entitled to know whether your personal beliefs would prevent you from honoring the oath of office which requires federal judges to perform all duties incumbent upon them under the Constitution and the laws of the United States.
Please answer the questions below. Your responses will be published verbatim in the Sharia TipSheet.

Questions for the Nominee
Given the numerous ways Islamic doctrine conflicts with the U.S. Constitution, the nominee should be asked the following questions:
It has been reported you are a Muslim. While there is no religious test for federal office, the Senate and the American people are entitled to know whether your personal beliefs are compatible or incompatible with U.S. law — law which, if you are confirmed, you will be asked to swear to uphold. As a preliminary question, do you as a Muslim affirm and adhere to Islamic doctrine from the Quran, hadith, and other authoritative Islamic sources?
Islamic doctrine holds that sharia law should be the supreme law of the land throughout the entire world. It further holds that sharia law is divine in origin and thus superior to any human-made law, including the U.S. Constitution. If confirmed, you will be asked to swear an oath you will uphold the U.S. Constitution, which by virtue of its Article VI, is the supreme law of the land. Do you renounce the portions of Islamic doctrine calling for the supremacy of sharia law and the subjugation of all human-made law to sharia law?
