PRINCETON: Gusciora eyed for judgeship in Superior Court

Democrat Assemblyman Reed Gusciora is being considered for an appointment as a Mercer County Superior Court judge, in a possible career change that would end a political career of one of the leading liberals in the Legislature.

A top Mercer County Democrat said Friday that Gov. Chris Christie wants to nominate Mr. Gusciora to the bench. Despite their political and philosophical differences, the Republican governor views Mr. Gusciora as a "good guy," the source said.

At the moment, there are four vacancies in Mercer County Superior Court. One judicial insider said two seats are Republican appointments and two are for Democrats.

Mr. Gusciora, a graduate of Seton Hall University School of Law, said Monday he would seriously consider an offer to become a judge and called it "an honor" to serve on the judiciary. He said he has not been contacted by the governor about the appointment.

A spokesman for Gov. Christie did not respond to an e-mail seeking comment Monday.

Mr. Gusciora, 54, is the deputy majority leader in the Assembly, where he has served since 1996. He represents the 15th Legislative District, which includes parts of Mercer and Hunterdon counties.

If nominated, Mr. Gusciora would have to be confirmed by the state Senate. State Sen. Nicholas Scutari, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, could not be reached for comment Monday.

Should he become a judge, his departure would open an Assembly seat. It comes with fellow Democrat and 15th-district Assemblywoman Bonnie Watson Coleman running for the U.S. House seat being vacated by the retiring Rep. Rush Holt. She is expected to win in the Democrat congressional district, an outcome that would produce a second vacancy in that district.

Mercer County Democratic Chairwoman Liz Muoio, asked about the possibility of both of them leaving, said Monday that she is focusing on the Nov.4 election.

"Ive heard all sorts of rumors about possible vacancies," she said.

Democrat Islamists can be solution for global extremism

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 13 (Bernama) -- Democrat Islamists can be a solution to curb extremism worldwide as they provide a moderate approach in today's global world through the ballot box, said academicians and politicians.

International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) lecturer Dr Maszlee Maliksaid Democrat Islamists, made famous after the Arab Spring, allowed Muslims to control their fate through the ballot box rather than war or in the hands of leaders who are dictators, thus end any grievances they might have.

"The idea of democrat Islamists has existed for a long time. Radical groups emerge because they found there was no hope for Muslims to enjoy justice, human rights and good governance," he said at a roundtable discussion on Democrat Islamists organised by the Global Movement of Moderates (GMM) together with IIUM's Fiqh Department, here today.

Chairman of London-based Al-Hiwar TV channel Dr Azzam Tamimi, said that the success of Arab Spring was a promising event that allowed for democracy in the Middle East and at the same time made the militant group Al Qaeda into an irrelevant movement.

"The success of the Arab Spring as we saw in Tunisia and Egypt was very promising, showing that this is the way forward. Some of the leaders of Al Qaeda were actually stressing fear that this model was succeeding, because it was proving them wrong," he said.

Dr Azzam also stressed that Democrat Islamist's definition still varies, depending on how people come into contact with the ideology and that the struggle for Democrat Islamists in the Middle East was still an ongoing process.

The GMM on its website stated that "Democrat Islamist" is a special term which refers to the new actors who seek to apply the Islamic principles to public policy within a democratic framework, including those in Morocco and Tunisia.

Meanwhile, PAS Research Centre Executive Director Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad noted that although Westerners were a little cautious of the ideology, Democrat Islamists like that of PAS were successful and have managed to exist for 60 years in Malaysia.

But he noted that Democrat Islamists had problems of balancing between being democratic and upholding the true values of Islam in order to be relevant in a diverse country like Malaysia.

"The Democrat Islamist party needs to come up with universal proposal that can persuade the people, both Muslims and Non-Muslims. Thus it must engage with the public, allow for forum of differences and be less judgmental," he said.
