Remember: there are people who watch this nonsense and believe it. Sarsour is probably referring to the three young Muslims recently murdered in North Carolina, which she and her allies (including Barack Obama) are working hard to portray as a “hate crime,” despite the fact that the murderer was a hard Leftist whose political views, aside from his militant atheism, probably differ little from Sarsour’s. Also, his Facebook page showed no anti-Muslim sentiment, and his wife said he had none, but what do people like Linda Sarsour care for the facts when those facts interfere with her narrative?
“Hyperbolic Maddow Guest Claims Muslim ‘Kids’ Being Executed in US,” by Jack Coleman, NewsBusters, February 19, 2015 (thanks to Claire):
Hardly a week passes that we don’t learn of another mass execution committed in the Mideast by the medieval Islamist thugs in ISIS.
But did you know that Muslims children are being executed in the United States? It must be true because I heard it last night on “The Rachel Maddow Show” and, no, it didn’t come from defrocked anchor Brian Williams.
Maddow was talking about the “Countering Violent Extremism” summit at the White House with Linda Sarsour, “advocacy and civic engagement coordinator” at the National Network for Arab American Communities, when Sarsour made the startling claim —
MADDOW: Do you feel like in the fight right now over how best to combat ISIS overseas, as that’s being debated in terms of both mil-, I mean, one of the things that was interesting today was the president was talking about, yeah, this is a military fight but it’s also all these other different types of fights and it’s a way that America has to use our soft power abroad and we have to sort of like project our values abroad in a way that’s going to help defeat this, beyond just what we’re doing militarily.
Do you feel like that discussion is constructive or that is also basically over-reductive and it isn’t taking account of how we’ve been acting?
SARSOUR: I mean, if we want to uphold our values and we want to show the rest of the world how wonderful we are, well, we need to start here at home. While we’re talking about partnering with Muslim communities and you are a partner and you are part of the fabric of our society, our government operates massive surveillance program, unwarranted surveillance in Muslim communities, chilling free speech, making people feel afraid.
I mean, a lot of Muslims have come to the United States to get away from regimes where they feel like their freedom of speech is infringed on, where some people don’t have freedom of religion. We come to the US, 22 states with anti-sharia bills trying to ban us from practicing our faith, mosque oppositions, we’re fighting, you know, zoning boards across the country, our kids are hearing this rhetoric, we have people, mosques being vandalized, kids being executed, Islamophobia, leaders on national television saying that, you know, holy wars and these people want to take over America. I mean, it’s just, it doesn’t, for me, reflect what we do stand for as a country and the minority in our country who are the loudest voices are reflecting what we are, and that’s not who we are as a country.
I’m an American, I’m a Muslim — should I cut myself in half? What side am I on? I’m born in Brooklyn, I can’t take that away and no one can take that away from me, I can’t be deported anywhere. So it’s just a really hard conversation to have with young people, especially young Muslims, who don’t know what side they’re supposed to be on. I’m on the American side. I’m on the right side, I’m on the side of justice. That’s the only sides that I’m on.
This from a professional Islamic apologist who believes “nothing is creepier than Zionism” (not even genital mutilation forced on Muslim girls around the world?) and who claimed that a foiled attempt to detonate an underwear bomb on an airliner was a “CIA plot”?
On an actual news program and with a scrupulous journalist sitting across from her, Sarsour would have gotten this bare minimum in pushback — those Muslim children being executed, or “kids” as you describe them — where is this happening …?…
The Doctor says
Notice how she snuck the “kids being executed” in there in the middle of things that actually happening – mosques are (VERY RARELY) being vandalized, and according to the jihadists “Islamophobia” is real, but I defy her to present a legitimate case of kids being _executed_ because they are Muslims. The parking dispute in North Carolina does _not_ count.
jihad3tracker says
FIND A CONTACT PATH TO RACHEL MADDOW — THERE ARE SEVERAL — AND TELL HER IN YOUR OWN WORDS THAT THIS WAS THE MOST DISGUSTING PLATFORM FOR LYING MUSLIM PROPAGANDA THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD.
ABSOLUTELY NO — NONE — ZIP — ZERO PUSHBACK ON THE FACT THAT SHOOTER CRAIG HICKS WAS, AS ROBERT SPENCER WRITES, A HARD LEFTIST . . . AND FIND A PATH TO MADDOW’S EMPLOYER TOO, TELLING THE SAME THING ABOUT COMPLETE NON-PROFESSIONALISM.
Alissa says
@Notice how she snuck the “kids being executed” in there in the middle of things that actually happening
Yes just like Anjem Choudry and other muslim boneheads. It’s an effective strategy. And then they won’t shut up. The interviewer who may or may not catch it, doesn’t have a chance to stop her and address it.
jihad3tracker says
Hello Alissa — Rachel Maddow DID HAVE A CHANCE to interrupt Linda Sarsour. She could have said “If you are referring to the 3 Muslims shot by Craig Hicks, his motive has NOT been established as anti-Muslim”.
But Rachel Maddow has been given the full bitch-slap by every Leftist who is scared to death about Obama’s absurd “terrorism conference”. I truly would NOT BE SURPRISED if she and Sarsour rehearsed the conversation we see in this video clip, just to be sure the lies got clearly articulated..
Jaladhi says
She is is not on the “American side” as she proclaims – she is only on the Muslim side – America is only secondary!!! The usual Muslim taqiyya!!
Nicu says
Why the head scarfs may spread these lies on TV ??
Whats about the killed kids by ISIS ??? – ah , they are only infidels …
katnis says
Interesting, Linda Sarsour. Please tell us more about the muslim children being executed in the US. I am very interested in hearing about this, as most JW readers will be.
Further, now that you have the public’s attention, why don’t you use your energy to lead a reform of islam? One that removes all instances of violence, child molestation, murder, rape, terror, etc from the koran and sends an unmistakable message of love and peace? Once that is done, and muslims have assimilated, Americans might be comfortable having you as a neighbor or a co-worker.
P.S. – Lose the headscarf. That would be a great first step.

Linda Sarsour worries about a chilling for free speech in the Muslim community.
I don’t see any chilling of speech in the American Muslim community. Not here in my state at any rate.
“JEWS, GET BACK IN THE OVENS!”
allan carr bryan says
This Muslim bitch is spouting the same old shit we hear all the time about the poor Muslim scumbags getting raw deal. The part about leaving where their Homelands to seek a better life is bollocks, because in the next sentence she spouts drivel like “kids being killed, mosques being vandalised, restriction of Sharia Law, stopping Muslims from practising their faith (do it in your own homes as they do in Cuba, not ram it down peoples throats at every opportunity”). Not one mention of Isis committing countless atrocities in the Middle East. And do they have respect for the Constitution? Not on your life, we hear countless times they only respect Muslim Law…ie Sharia.
Joseph says
I’m an American, I’m a Muslim — should I cut myself in half? What side am I on? I’m born in Brooklyn, I can’t take that away and no one can take that away from me, I can’t be deported anywhere.
The “I can’t be deported” sounds like an “IN YOUR FACE” threat. I can commit crimes and the worst you can do is put me in prison.
We come to the US, 22 states with anti-sharia bills trying to ban us from practicing our faith, mosque oppositions, we’re fighting, you know, zoning boards across the country
Sure you come to this country to escape that “SHIT HOLE” you called a country, but then you turn around and try to implement the very laws you say you are fleeing from.
YOU ARE A LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DON”T PISS ON MY BACK AND TELL ME IT IS RAINING.

Olivrer says
22 states trying to pass anti- sharis bills.
That is– reality check– anti–sharia bills for THE ENTIRE STATE. IF A MUSLIM WANTS TO FOLLOW SHARIA LAWS IN THEIR OWN HOME ( SO LONG AS IT DOES NOT CO-OP OR BE AGAINST AMERICAN AND STATE CIVIL 9AND/OR CRIMINAL) LAW, GO AHEAD.
Mnay Jews, especially the Orthodox, religious Jews practice Jewish laws — where there is no conflict with the civil laws. (Divorce is one example-if a Jewish couple–in the US divorce, and want to remarry-in the faith, the wife needs to get/the husband issue a “get”. This has nothing to do with a civil diivorce, which is obviously needed, if to remarry). Noboody ( that is not involved) should object.
I would see the same with sharia.
But the muzzies want sharia to be superior- that is where the bills are correct.
Bezelel says
( our kids are hearing this rhetoric, we have people, mosques being vandalized, kids being executed,)
She must be kidding
somehistory says
Fighting zoning boards: something any business or church, etc. must do if they insist on putting a building for their operations in a certain area *not zoned* for that particular enterprise. Each city has zones and this is necessary if the city is to be organized to keep heavy traffic away from homes and schools. And to keep places of business that might be considered unsavory out of the sight and reach of children. But, muslims fight every time they are told *no* you can’t build here because of the zone.
And who, just who, is trying to quell free speech? muslims and those in favor of islam being dominant over others.
And the *I can’t be deported* is letting everyone know that she doesn’t feel marginalized or afraid, even though she claims muslim kids….just how old were those *kids*…are being murdered. Those *kids* in NC were college age (23, 21, 19) 2 were, married and planning a trip….some have said….to Turkey to help *refugees* with dental needs. *Kids* do those things? Wait….there are *children* being *married* off to old men in many muslim lands. But they don’t get to attend college or fly off to Turkey.
She used *free speech* to spread falsehoods, proven by the fact she was speaking freely and claiming that her free speech was being taken away.

Jay Boo says
Why didn’t Obama hold a “Countering Violent Extremism” summit after the bombings in Boston.
Could it be because every mosque in the country was saying “hey not our problem ” and “nothing to do with Islam”?
Three Muslims were killed by a nut-case and suddenly there is now a violent extremist problem that requires a summit. Every mosque in the country is now saying that this is their problem out of concern that the years of unchallenged BS could potentially lead to a backlash of a coup load of chickens all converging to come home to roost.
Champ says
Rachel, the only thing that’s “spooky” is Linda Sarsour and how gullible *you* are to everything Linda Sarsour said! Namely, that we have “unwarranted surveillance of muslims in this country”. Unwarranted? Bologne! And then Sarsour really revealed her taqiyya artistry by using the “islamophobia” term …and then this gem from Sarsour, that she’s on the side of “justice” …oh, sure, justice for muslims ONLY! Sarsour is a lying snake. Plain and simple. And Rachel you’re too dumb to see it.
traci94 says
Thank God there are 22 states trying to pass anti-sharia laws; I didn’t even know there were that many. If they do pass sharia laws, they will undoubtedly, at some point, try to make those laws binding on non-Muslim Americans as well. Sharia is NOT democratic.
And, why are the media letting people like this spew lies like “Muslim kids are being executed”. I wish that Maddow would have asked her where this is taking place. Obviously, she is talking about the case in NC, which is where I live. The authorities have found absolutely NO evidence that this is a hate crime, pure and simple. So people need to stop trying to make it one. What about the guy who stabbed 2 people in Michigan (Minnesota?) because they were non-Muslims? She failed to mention that hate crime. The audacity of people spewing this kind of rhetoric is absolutely unbelievable.
Everyone Else says
FAKE GRIEVANCE MONGER
Here are the FBI hate crime statistics for the year 2013 (link below).
As you can see, there is 5 times as much hate crime against Jews as against Muslims.
Of the 1,223 victims of anti-religious hate crimes:
– 60.3 percent were victims of crimes motivated by their offenders’ anti-Jewish bias.
– 13.7 percent were victims of anti-Islamic (Muslim) bias.

Oliver says
RE: the 13.7% anti-Mulsim bias.
Does that include Muslim vs. Muslim and items like the Brooklyn, NY Muslim who murdered his wife because she served him lentils– and “in his country”–he has lived in the US 20+ years as I recall- that would not have happened (wife would have listened to him)-so anti Muslim bias-his wife was too Americanized.
And the father (I think in Texas) who murdered his daughters? (or, was it one daughter, and the plural the man? in Italy?).
Just asking.

Dave J says
“We can’t be deported”. Now she is taunting us, in addition to the deception and old-fashioned lying.
“Chilling free speech” – that would be Muslims, almost entirely.
“On the side of Justice” – if we still had Justice all the proselytizers of jihad would be locked up and the Koran banned as hate speech.
Patrick White says
When Muslims form the minority, they are obsessed with ‘rights’.
The moment they become the majority, there ARE no rights.
Brian says
Linda Sarsour
I am so glad you opened with your love of America and your love of the right to free speech, here’s mine.
In my opinion any man who would marry a six year old, have sex with her when she reached the ripe old age of nine, is no man to be revered, all moral codes we try to live by and all laws we should be obeying tell us that this man was a pedophile, no more, no less
traci94 says
I wanted to just add something to my comment above. I don’t understand why Muslims have to have Sharia laws passed in order to practice their religion. We have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to assemble. And why don’t I hear folks screaming separation of church and state; that’s something Christians hear all the time. I can’t imagine the outcry if a Christian tried to pass some laws so she/he could practice her/his faith. Everyone would be talking about that being a violation of the separation of church and state. Besides, we have the three things we mentioned above, and that’s all we need.
Beagle says
We often understate the danger of this type of propaganda. In Islamic theology if the ummah comes under siege it becomes incumbent upon all Muslims to wage ‘defensive’ jihad.
This grievance-mongering deception is terrorist recruiting, plain and simple.
Sam says
Well if Muslims are so uncomfortable here in the USA. why don’t they leave for Syria, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Libya or Somalia and others? Poor Muslims again, If people believe these blatant lies they deserve what Islam is bringing to them.

Bassam says
Sarsour, An Arabic word that means cockroach , if you don’t like it in the US, go practice Sharia in an Islamic country such as Iran or Saudi Arabia. You admitted that Muslims had come to the US because they wanted to run away from the lack of freedom in their Sharia law countries, so how come you want to bring them the f**king Sharia Law?
Angemon says
In essence, Linda Sansour is saying that her religion has a political side that must be enforced on non-muslims. Because that’s what sharia is – a set of laws rulling not only all aspects of one person’s life, but also national and international politics.
I’m going to go on a limb and say that the problem here isn’t the zoning boards, it’s the muslims who want to impose their will on the American people and consider themselves to be above the law. If a zoning board doesn’t want you building a mosque in a specific place then you build it somewhere else.
I’m quite certain that more non-muslim kids are “executed” than muslim kids. Where’s her sympathy for them?
Ah, the made-up mental illness used to silence critics of islam.
Who said that?
That might have something to do with things like muslims shouting “Death to America” (even if they don’t mean it).
Mirren10 says
I understand Rachel Maddow is a lesbian, and works for LGBT rights ?
How ironic then, that she is so sympathetically interviewing a mohammedan supremacist female, who, if she had the power, would make sure people such as Maddow were severely punished, if not executed, for exercising their sexuality !
I wonder if Maddow is aware that today, in most of the Islamic world, homosexuality is not socially or legally accepted ? And that in In Afghanistan, Brunei, Iran, Mauritania, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Somaliland, Sudan and Yemen, homosexual activity carries the death penalty ?
Getting back to the ghastly sarsour bint; I know we should all be inured by now to mohammedan outright lies, and/or deliberate twisting of the truth, but I must admit to being seriously shocked that this evil woman is such a barefaced liar. muslim kids in America being *executed* ? Dear God.
Where was she raising her voice and protesting the ‘palestinians’ using women and children as **human shields**, and using ‘palestinian’ kids to build their foul tunnels, where many of them died ?
And she has the gross, vicious **hide** to assert that decent Americans are **executing muslim children** !
Alex says
Right to the point Mirren10 !!!! I don’t get it any more how dumb the TV host is and had no single question that would shut the mouth of this liar.
I wish this could to be addressed back to Sarsour and she should be asked to back up all the claims and specially about “children being executed in US” !!!! How can anyone say that? Where is this happening??? I still believe the whole situation in today’s world is just a dream and I would like someone to wake me up finally!!!!
Andrew GB says
Lady Mirren10,
As usual, accurate, concise and insightful. Lets pander to the oppressed muslims! What a tool the interviewer is. Appart from the parking rage incident i’ve not heard of any muslim killings in the US and I’m sure the whole world would have been told if there was.
I have however heard a lot about Muslim atrocities towards non muslims. Another tool.
Anyway super muslima hasnt got her bandit mask on! ISIS will think she’s on the game!!!

Kathy Brown, Esq. says
Mega-dittoes Gay and Mirren. I noticed something else too:
Didja notice how extra-exercised ol’ Rach was? She had a serious case of the hots for baghead Linda, looked like to me…
Mirren, apropos of your remark about thinking you couldn’t be shocked anymore: I’ll go you one better. With sickos like Maddow? I literally can’t even possibly IMAGINE what motivates a far-Left radical lesbian like this creature to sit and talk with a pro-Hamas, pro-jihad muslim.
Linda may sound assertive and intellectual on this show but that’s all it is, literally: A show. When baghead goes home she goes home to a ‘husband’ who beats her and considers her as chattel. In the event she has children, she has no say whatever over them, raises her sons to be murdering suicides, and for her daughters, presides over the same FGM SHE had, oh, about age 7 or so.
Infinitely sick, diseased, depraved. The two of them.

“I’m born in Brooklyn, I can’t take that away and no one can take that away from me, I can’t be deported anywhere. ”
Yeah, but you SHOULD be deported, you’re a traitor to your country and gender. My theory is by forcing their women into these headbags and body tents, it overheats the women’s brains causing permanent damage.

An unhinged commie TV hack and a deranged Muslim revert feeding nonsense to a dumbed down audience.

That’s funny. She forgets that we live by “man made laws”, not by the law of allah. We can change our laws to make deportations possible for Muselmaniacs who would be much happier amongst their own.

Linda Sarsour is a perfect example of a Muslim woman who has bumped her head at least one time too many on her prayer mat to ever recuperate from pre-frontal lobe brain damage.

PRCS says
Does Rachel know what happens to lesbians in countries where the shari’ah is THE law?
And if she does, does she think such punishments are ‘perversions’ of Islam?
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
PRCS: Let me tell you how we ‘knew’ things when we were Libs like Rach. In my case, the issue was abortion, not islam. But the principle’s exactly the same:
We knew abortion was wrong; we knew it was a baby; we were nurses; we had the emotions of love and protectiveness for our babies literally inundate us (as does every pregnant woman courtesy of the God-given ‘hormone of pregnancy’, progesterone). But it was too much trouble; there were so many really cool, nice people, who said the opposite; they were our friends, not the psychos who said the reverse.
So we climbed up on the table, spread our legs and said, ‘Get this fucking thing out of me!’. So excellent was the Leftist PR that it was nearly 20 yrs. before we felt the GUILT (a good thing, boys and girls!) about having killed our own helpless, longing-to-live, babies.
Thus with islam.
Leftists like Maddow, Barack Insane, etc.: They know. Like I knew. They ignore the screams of the mutilated little girls; the crucified Christians, jews. They torture the animals, they brutalize their little boys to raise the next generation of islamic monsters.
But they hear those screams. And this is what makes them so horrible, so unthinkable. It’s not that we can’t all sin, all be deceived. It’s that, hearing the cries of agony, they walk away.
And later, when they’re asked? They say what Peter said about Jesus: ‘I HAD NO IDEA. I NEVER SAW THIS GUY. LEAVE ME THE FUCK OUT OF THIS SHIT.’
Take it from me: When you’ve done that, and you carry that, you can’t do anything but lie, lie, lie on top of the original crime.

Muslims; always the victim. Sarsour is just another fine example of an Islamist posing as a “moderate”. Her complaining about the Shari’a being opposed in the West proves that she is not a moderate, but an Islamist and extremist.

Oh, but I don’t suppose Ms cockroach would consider the victims of the jihadist at Fort Hood to have been executed by a muslim, nor the brave woman in OK who refused to convert to the religion of crimes against humanity and was beheaded for her trouble.
Did anyone consider the fact that a mentally unstable man had a habit of harassing people with a gun about parking issues, and these people were the straw that broke the camel’s back for him? No pun intended.

Demsci says
When a controversy, like here between America and it’s values and practice and results and those of Islam, she may remain aloof, and neutral, OK. But she should honestly compare the two and judge with single standards for both, but she is so one-sided in her criticism, and criticizing the more civilized and responsible side, IMO.
she appears to be too perfectionist and appeal to some imaginary ideal society, that does not exist anywhere yet. Else, can she name countries, that are doing better than America, in real practice? And who would do better than America in similar circumstances? Certainly NOT Russian Federation, China, Iran?!
Of course America is imperfect, but she should COMPARE, all the countries in the world. And then it would be exposed how she is whining about ” anti-Sharia, the occasional murder, mere surveillance”.
These complaints do not match the severe raw complaints of murder, suppression, lawlessness in ISIS-territory and Islamic countries. Who by the way do all they can to shield disadvantages.
She should COMPARE honestly and explain why Muslims voted with their feet by going to America. And wny there is NO temptation for Muslims to go back. Perhaps there is only the temptation for some to go to the Islamic State!
She should not buy into the idea that “people should start changing the world at home first”. Because “at home” there will always be something imperfect, which can be used not to look-judge-intervene abroad.
She should hold ALL humans equally accountable, but by pointing so excessively to Americans, she seems to treat other humans, who also, and more, caused injustice, oppression, as if they were somehow not to be held accountable, as if these were children, or animals. Thereby she inadvertantly puts Americans on a higher pedestal and she is guilty of double standards.
Oliver says
Reading the comments made by Sarsour, I got the impression that i was (did not see the video-confession)– that i was hearing a conversation (or lecture) by a not to bright 11 year old girl.
Like,” I mean”, – at the start of EVERY paragraph (or, at l;east those I noticed) looked for ” duh’ and ” you know” but did not see them. had they been there, I would NOT have said a not to bright, I would have said stupid, who cannot say a coherent sentence, that makes sense.
Not that her ramblings make much sense.

Both of them are dumba$$es!
Lawrence Beerbower says
She is not being denied to practice her faith. She is being denied to practice religious law.
The United states has it’s own laws and social values. one of our values is humanitarian treatment even of those who cause harm onto us. We do not practice an eye for an eye or the cutting off of a hand for stealing. Those are barbaric practices which we as a free society has grown away from. we are not currently a land of colonies, but a land from colonies. we have grown to 50 States all bound by one common law. That law is the Constitution of the United states. That is the law of the land and the only acceptable law within this land. All others shall be abandoned and nullified upon the land of the United states. We do not kill babies as this hypocrite claims. It is shari law that does kill babies and mistreats women as property and not human beings capable of independence from the man the law that stones a woman for acting independently. these laws affect all aspects of life for a Muslim and are unacceptable here in a free country. We do not keep slaves nor do we persecute for your faith. You are allowed the Right to practice your faith so long as it does not infringe upon the same rights of others. That’s the line you are crossing when you attempt to force sharia law in a place that has their own laws and multiple faiths. So you follower of Muhammad need to learn tolerance and accept the fact we will never allow sharia law to take over America and we will get to a point enough is enough and will rise up without prejudice and remove those who oppose our freedoms.
Oliver says
Lawrence B.
On Feb 19th, (in my computer, under older comments) I made (what I consider) a valid point.
Basically, some Jews, especially religious/orthodox Jews, often follow WHEN IT DOES NOT CONFLICT WITH CIVIL LAWS, Jewish laws.
One example, divorce. After a (civil) divorce, for a Jewish woman to remarry (in the faith) also needs a Jewish divorce ( called ” a get”).
This IN NO WAY conflicts with the civil divorce.
There are other examples.
She, and every other Muslim can practice their religious laws, as far as I am concerned AS LONG AS IT DOES NOT CONFLICT WITH THE CIVIL AND CRIMINAL LAWS OF THE U.S. AND THE SPECIFIC STATE.
What she seems to want, is only THEIR (MUSLIM) law.
