Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Hate-filled anti-American Islamic supremacist Linda Sarsour receives $164,050 in taxpayer money

Oct 23, 2015 10:50 am By Robert Spencer

Linda Sarsour is an energetic purveyor of the “Islamophobia” myth, and has hysterically claimed that “Muslim kids” are being “executed” in the United States. She was instrumental in prevailing upon de Blasio to end legal and necessary surveillance in Muslim communities in New York. She is also a frequent visitor to the Obama White House, and has claimed that the jihad underwear bomber was a CIA agent — part of what she claims is a U.S. war against Islam. She is a practiced exploiter of the “hate” smear against foes of jihad terror and Islamic supremacism, and has never apologized for using the Islamic honor murder of Shaima Alawadi to spread lies about the prevalence of hate crimes against Muslims in America. She is also an enthusiastic supporter of the “Palestinian” jihad against Israel. Given the general support for that jihad among Leftists, and the hard-Left tilt of the de Blasio regime in New York, it is not surprising that her hate-filled endeavors are taxpayer funded. But it is scandalous nonetheless: a grim sign of the times.

NYC adds Muslim holidays to school calendar

“Taxpayers should not be funding this anti-American hate-spewer,” by Andrea Peyser, New York Post, October 23, 2015:

…[Linda] Sarsour, a Muslim activist and ally of Mayor Bill de Blasio, blasted into the mainstream in August with a fawning profile published in The New York Times headlined: “Linda Sarsour is a Brooklyn Homegirl in a Hijab.” Although at age 35, the married mother of three who favors hijabs, or Muslim headscarves, is hardly a girl.

President Obama named Sarsour one of his “Champions of Change.” The daughter of Palestinian immigrants, who told the Times that she wed in an arranged marriage at age 17, is described on the White House website like this: “Ambitious, outspoken and independent, Linda shatters stereotypes of Muslim women, also treasuring her religious and ethnic heritage.”

But some observers got acquainted with Sarsour’s anti-Americanism two weeks after the politically correct Newspaper of Record lionized her. Sarsour, who serves as executive director of the generously city-taxpayer-funded Arab American Association of New York, based in her native Brooklyn, responded when Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz tweeted, “America is and remains a nation built on Judeo-Christian values.”

“Genocide & slavery?” she shot back….

Her outrageous online assaults sank to a depressing level this month, when Sarsour tweeted a picture of a small Palestinian boy standing before Israeli soldiers clutching rocks in both hands. She added the words, “The definition of courage.”

“No, the definition of barbarism,” Queens City Councilman Rory Lancman, 46, responded.

Sarsour has the right to free speech, however reprehensible. So says the US Constitution. But as she waged a social-media war with Lancman, first reported by The Post’s Rich Calder, she seemed unaware that he, too, enjoys the same right.

She tweeted: “city elected official attacking a constituent on foreign policy issue when they weren’t asked. Welcome to NYC Council.”

“You must be especially proud of the 13-yr-old Palestinian who stabbed the 13-yr-old Israeli,” Lancman wrote.

She replied: “don’t put words in my mouth. Shame on you. Using my tax payer $$ to attack people online. Go do your job.”

But this tweet by Sarsour turned the fight downright ugly: “The Zionist trolls are out to play. Bring it. You will never silence me.”

“This is a woman who supports violence and supports terrorists while at the same time proclaiming that this country is founded on Judeo-Christian values of genocide and slavery,” a prominent political insider, who led me to Sarsour’s nasty “genocide” tweet, told me.

“And somehow, she receives taxpayer money,” the insider said. “I think that’s a very sad commentary on where this city and society are right now.”…

Lancman, who is Jewish, put out a statement that read, “Attacking Jews in their homes, schools, supermarkets, cafes, buses, roads, synagogues and seder tables is barbarous, and enlisting children to commit those acts is even more so.”

But he would not comment further to me about Sarsour, or say whether he believed her organization should continue receiving city funds, which have totaled $164,050 since 2012.

Sarsour, a co-founder of the Muslim Democratic Club of New York, has said she’s considering running for the Brooklyn City Council seat that Vincent Gentile, 56, is to vacate in 2017 due to term limits.

The Times piece describes Sarsour as some kind of dynamo, celebrating her for helping to partly dismantle the city Police Department’s surveillance program of Muslims….

    Anybody admired by Obama is a candidate for jail: Jeremy Wright, Al Sharpton, Bomb boy, Sasour . . .

    It has nothing to do with free speech. Wake up. They are the enemy! Would we have given Hitler or Stalin the time of day to subvert our youth? Of course not. We are being brainwashed by academics that subversion of our own value system is free speech while we are being made to believe that the truth is islamophobia. Most of the People are being misled by these ridiculous academics. If we take it back to common sense, we might get some traction and, unfortunately, the violence we are seeking to avoid.

    This has gone on far too long. What a dangerous way to fight a war. Truth has been determined by socialists and the truth will not win out. This will be civil war when we wake up. Once that war is over, we can explain the truth . . . if we win. How long will we agonize?

      Oct 23, 2015 at 11:54 pm

      Jeremiah said,“Most of the People are being misled by these ridiculous academics.”

      Most academics fall into the Liberalism mindset that they have all the remedial answers to all that ails the world. Their most foolish approach is to usually use the resources of the enemy, the USA’s, to those that are of need cuddling and help; Islam’s adherents! Here is an example:

      The Center for Muslim-Jewish Engagement: A Partnership between the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, Omar Ibn Al Khattab Foundation, & USC Center for Religion and Civic Culture.

      This think tank is housed at the University of Southern of California campus. This organization has authored a treatise that honors the Jihad movement struggles. In this document it indicts the US as the perpetrators and the Muslims as the victims. In the text of this lying and inflammatory piece states that America has killed many more people than the Muslim’s have in their efforts to obtain their justice.

      http://www.usc.edu/org/cmje/articles/jihad-struggle.php

      These damn turncoats/traitors never see our defense efforts to obtain our nations citizens’ safety justifiable! NEVER!

    The absence of the Golden Rule in all Islam is not accidental. Normative Islam goes far beyond a mere lack of the Golden Rule (which Allah completely left out of his most important message to humanity). Islam officially teaches active hatred, not only of the culture of unbelief (kufr) but of the infidels (“kufaar”) themselves. Hatred of kafirs is the necessary motivation for Moslems to fight them and force them to accept Islam or be murdered like vermin.

    No supremacist doctrine (whether communism, Nazism or fascism) contains or teaches the Golden Rule, because supremacism needs the inferiority of ‘them’ to justify the repression of ‘them’ by ‘us’. Islam is a global, supremacist ideology similar to fascism, but with the religious endorsement of the Supreme Being. The goal of Islam is a political utopia without borders where only Islam is the state religion.

    Islam’s ethics are based on the political supremacism of Islam and the convenience for Moslems in achieving Islam’s utopian goal, i.e. the behaviour of Moslems is for the benefit and emolument of Moslems and the gradual conquest and subjugation of the non-Islamic ‘others’ under shari`a law.
    Islam’s ethics are thus opportunistic, emphasizing cohesion within the Islamic inner circle of believers and permanent enmity towards those outside of it. This doctrine is called “al-Walaa wal Baraa” (allegiance and dissociation). This Islamic APARTHEID is considered the second most important theological doctrine in Islam and is accepted by all four main schools of Islam.

      Islam has forgotten that there were wars fought before it existed by polytheists who were not fighting for their God’s objectives but rather supplicated their Gods for support. Only Islam’s Allah requires the slavery of all mankind to a pathological stasis.

      The opposite of Sharia is Freedom, a sufficient objective for war since the beginning of organized society. Even foolish liberals who wish to create an egalitarian society with other peoples means, will, in the end fight for control of their lives. The question at hand is will they be foolish until it is too late, or will they realize the fulfillment of their dream was a tyrannical tool, as damaging to society as past “isms” and a ready vehicle for Islam’s enslavement?

    Example of a typical ungrateful islamo parasite embedded within the host, which is clueless about how to deal with it. The genius of it is that the host is providing the resources to the parasite for its (host’s) own destruction. There are countless examples. It’s what makes Islam dangerous and devastating and unique. No gratefulness or appreciation let alone loyalty to anyone or anything but the false god Allah. And the US and Europe are importing more of this!

    Using the term genocide:

    If there is one group of people who should be familiar with that concept it is hers.

    I do not think that there was an awareness of the concept when America expanded and destroyed the indigenous peoples – This doesn’t justify it but it certainly explains why she sees it.

    Islam defines itself by this concept, and those who carry it out are perfectly aware of what they are doing – their genocide doesn’t discriminate – they hate and openly encourage those of their faith to practice it against anyone who isn’t of their faith, or subset thereof (Shiite vs Sunni )

    Women need to wake up to the facts of this “cult” about savage men and their wants and needs…are we going to revert to the 50s and early 60s???? Weren’t we already the suffragettes way back in time who fought for our freedoms and our equality to men???? WOMEN better wake up to it…this is about men wanting total control over us….and muslims who come here better wake up to the fact we wont do it…we WONT GO BACK!!!!!!!!!!

    Lies, lies. Islam was the leader of the slave trade, kidnapped non Muslims into slavery even white ones from Northern Europe, the Ottomans kidnapped children and made them into its Jannisaries, ie. its soldiers. Slavery is still practised by Muslims and ‘respectable’ Muslims who hire servants from other countries to work in their homes treat them ;like slaves, especially the women are often treated like sex slaves. Slavery is still practised in Islamic states notably Mauritania.
    So she is either ignorant of Muslim history or just pulling the wool over people’s eyes. Slavery is sanctioned in the Quran
