If he's got the right skills to do the job who the hell are they to object on the basis of a previous post?

It would be the association with terrorism linked with Muslims that causes them concern. As far as I am aware none of the allegations refer to extremism in terms of terrorism but rather than of a hard-line version of Islam where women are segregated and so on. They're just worried about the terrorist conflation even though that may not be what was intended in his appointment.
