Senators Concerned About Biden Nominee Are Deemed ‘Anti-Muslim’
[AmSpectator] A coalition of faith groups joined with a Moslem American solidarity group known as the Shoulder to Shoulder Campaign to accuse Senate Republicans in a letter Monday of being motived by "anti-Moslem animus" in their hesitancy to confirm Biden nominee Dilawar Syed as deputy administrator of the Small Business Administration.

Their letter also implied the Republicans were violating the Constitution by using a version of an "ethnic or religious test" to prevent Syed — who would be the highest ranking American Moslem official in the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft
...knaves, footpads, and adjusters employed by the Biden Crime Family. They leave a trail of havoc everywhere they turn their attention, be it the nation's borders, the Keystone XL Pipeline, or epidemics, sometimes on purpose, most times through sheer arrogant ineptitude. They learnt this stuff in college, you know...
— from holding office. "No one should be denied the ability to hold office because of what they look like or how they choose to worship," they wrote.

The concerns of eight Republican senators on the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship — including Marco Rubio

(R-Fla.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), and Tim Scott (R-S.C.) — center around Syed’s involvement as a board member for Emgage Action, a Moslem American solidarity group that has drawn criticism for anti-Israel rhetoric and its support for the controversial Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel.

The Senate hearing to confirm Syed was April 1. But in a letter sent to the committee’s chair, Ben Cardin, on June 30, Republican senators explained that since that hearing, Emgage had released "incendiary" statements calling Israel an apartheid state and supporting House Democrat Ilhan Omar
...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...

terrorist organizations.

They requested that the committee hold another hearing to ask Syed about the statements, and ensure that his confirmation "would not jeopardize small businesses with close ties to Israeli companies or small businesses owned by Jewish Americans," emphasizing that confirming an individual who supports anti-Semitic accusations could harm Israel-American business relations.

In the absence of a second hearing, Senate Republicans boycotted a vote to confirm Syed on July 15, leaving the committee without the minimum number of senators required to vote. Cardin released a statement the same day expressing his support for Syed’s confirmation and accusing the GOP senators of "playing politics."

Sandra Parker, the Action Fund chairwoman of Christians United for Israel Action Fund, a pro-Israel advocacy group, had expressed her concern about the nomination shortly after Syed’s hearing.

"Dilawar Syed is the wrong choice for Deputy Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA)," she said. "His association with Emgage Action, which lobbies against anti-BDS legislation and has taken a range of other positions that are both outside the American mainstream and contrary to President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem mschine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family......
’s own policies, indicates poor judgment on Syed’s part."

The vote to confirm Syed has not yet been rescheduled.

#1 IMO an 'anti-Muslim animus' should be the default condition until proven otherwise.
