Meet Zahid Quraishi, the first Muslim in U.S. history to serve as a federal judge
Joining hundreds of firsts that Muslim Americans have seen in the past five years is Judge Zahid Quraishi. He was confirmed by the Senate on Thursday to a lifetime seat on a U.S. district court, making him the first Muslim American federal judge in U.S. history.
Senators voted 81-16 to confirm 46-year-old Quraishi to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
