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

NYC giving $10 million to Linda Sarsour, hate-filled supporter of Palestinian jihad

Apr 3, 2016 1:26 pm By Robert Spencer

“The Arab-American Association of New York, a Brooklyn-based nonprofit run by Linda Sarsour, was selected as one of 14 groups by the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York to receive $10 million over five years…” Linda Sarsour likes to posture as an outsider, struggling against The Man in solidarity with all the other Oppressed People, but in reality she is the quintessential establishment figure, now that the hard-Left and Socialists are firmly ensconced in the corridors of power. Her cynical and disingenuous victimhood posturing and effective clearing-away of obstacles for violent terrorists are completely mainstream these days. The real outsiders and voices of the oppressed who are fighting against authoritarians who do all they can to silence and discredit them are the foes of jihad.

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.

Sarsour is also 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.

“City gives $500K to activist at center of Palestine-Israel Twitter war,” by Rich Calder, New York Post, April 2, 2016:

City First Lady Chirlane McCray is handing over more than $500,000 to an Arab-American activist who came under fire for denouncing critics on Twitter as “Zionist trolls.”

The Arab-American Association of New York, a Brooklyn-based nonprofit run by Linda Sarsour, was selected as one of 14 groups by the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York to receive $10 million over five years to integrate mental-health services into their community programs. McCray oversees the fund.

Sarsour, a longtime ally and vote-getter for Mayor de Blasio, got into a Twitter war last October with Queens Councilman Rory Lancman, who is Jewish, when she posted a picture of a Palestinian boy clutching rocks in front of Israeli soldiers, labeling it “The definition of courage.”

After Lancman replied, “No, the definition of barbarism,” Sarsour tweeted, “The Zionist trolls are out to play. Bring it. You will never silence me.”…

    Mental health services for Muslims? This is a joke, right? Get your face out of the Koran and off of the prayer rug, then go outside and get some air. There’s some free mental health advice.

      What can you expect ??? Muslims model themselves on mad Mohammed of Mecca, who they consider to be the most perfect man that has ever lived.
      If the insane, mass murdering, child raping, thief Mohammed were alive today, he would be permanently committed to a mental asylum for the criminally insane.

      Parents should be also suing states that are indoctrinating their children in public schools with Islamic teachings. That’s also an “execution” of our children sanity to be taught barbarism.

      Why does the US support Israel’s right to exist and at the same time support those who have declared their goal is to exterminate Israel?

      Is this not the definition of ‘counterproductive’?

    Oh, I’m sure she came under fire for worse things.

    The Arab-American Association of New York has no understanding of what made New York and all of America great in the first place. Again can be seen that Islamic parasites prey upon those who establish freedom and other good things, like equality under the law for all and a true Golden Rule for all, only to eradicate these achievements by man if given the opportunity.

    Linda Sarsour serves as a poster girl for this truth. Big time. And she might as well be wearing a swastika as wearing that ugly headdress of hers. Yes, might as well. Indeed, and for all intents and purposes, the hijab (the burqa and skull cap too) = a swastika.

    Really, someone needs to ask this limited and deceptive woman pointblank if she supports the First Amendment of the American Constitution, to wit, that one can criticize or even mock a religion and that this is something she does not object to and will actually vigorously support. She should also be queried about her take on the Fourteenth Amendment’s equality under the law provision considering that wherever Islam dominates it sets up a Jim Crow system based not on race but on belief. Yes, she should be asked all this, but the current, extremely foolish mayor of New York, guaranteed, will never ask her this. Nor will the The New York Times editorial board. Nor will anyone in the Democratic Party. Nor will most anyone in the Republican Party. Nor will Western academia en masse. Nor will…….. Nor will…….. Nor will…….. Oh yeah, the West is in deep feces, courtesy of Islam and ignoramuses and “fraidy-cats” galore, who will not challenge Islam for being the spiritual fascism which it is.

    Pathetic. Yes indeed, all of this nonsense. Time for a beer.

      There is no equality under Sharia law.

      Linda Sarsour works for a society where she could not have a job.

    (NYC giving $10 million to Linda Sarsour, hate-filled supporter of Palestinian jihad).

    This is another proof that Western governments are directly funding all forms of genocidal islamic jihadists while totally ignoring the victims of the global jihad. Remember America has just spent over 500 million dollars in funding islamic jihadists in Syria and very few people in the US are even talking about this or even care about these things. CAIR is another evil jihadist front and their aim is to further the global islamic supremacist agenda by playing the victim card and through other means of stealthy jihadist disinformation and propaganda.

    This insane grant by NYC must in some way be illegal and should be stopped in court. Where is the outcry from Jewish leaders and Christian supporters of Israel?

    Rory Lancman is to be commended for speaking out. The outcry should be deafening.

    Mayor de Blasio is helping to destroy the one free democracy in the Near East. He is despicable if he does not rescind this absurd grant immediately.

    De Blasio supports genocide against Jews.

    As usual, Leftist cultural Marxists, like de Blasio have not read any of the many Islamic source texts…Koran, Sira, hadiths, classical commentaries or Sharia law manuals or Islamic history…and yet, preposterously, they present themselves as pre-eminent authorities on Islam! This would be like a sophomore who has not even read the first year reading list presenting himself as more of an authority than the heads of the faculty.

    De Blasio and his party all believe, without completing the basic Islamic reading list, that they ‘know’ Islam is just a religion only and that pure Islam is not a supremacist, political party. To say that Islam is a ‘supremacist political party’ is in their mind the equivalent of ‘racism’ in some way that they are unable to explain. Islam is coddled and shielded by the Left from criticism and given a ‘protected status’ that they will not extend to any other religion, especially Judaism and Christianity.

    The Left is apparently implementing a program of ethnic cleansing for Jews and Christians.

    ‘seems the defenders of the Alamo were given some free acres as a thank you for their efforts. These annoying Muslims should also be given a piece of American land. I reckon the size earned should be six feet long by two feet wide and ten feet DEEP.

      That’s not a big enough hole Steve! Hahahahahahaha! Isn’t there some isolated island somewhere we could ship them all off to and let them live happily kiling each other for the rest of their lives?

      • Jay Boo says

        Apr 4, 2016 at 12:11 pm

        Imagine that — Muslims on some isolated island somewhere.

        Muslims would look around and realize they have no one else to blame for Islam’s spiritual emptiness.

    This is a terrible development. Our current government both local and national democrats are supporting terror against all of us.

    Most Jews these days support the so-called “palestinians” and are embarrassed by their heritage as well as the Jewish state. Don’t suppose this will backfire on de Blasio or the Dems.
