Hugh Fitzgerald: Muslims Helping Jews: The Case of Linda Sarsour (Part II)

Mar 4, 2017 12:23 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald

Jews and Christians in Victoria, Texas have been heartfelt in their eagerness to lend their churches and synagogue for use by local Muslims, while the local mosque, destroyed by fire, is rebuilt. Jews and Christians, and not just in Victoria, have also been generous in helping to raise more than $1.1 million to rebuild the mosque. And while this was going on, Muslims in turn have been raising money — $125,000 so far — to help repair two Jewish cemeteries that have recently been vandalized, the Chesed Shel Emeth Society Cemetery outside St. Louis, and the Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Philadelphia, where tombstones have been toppled. This Muslim effort has been mentioned several times on NPR, and gotten a lot of press, to judge by what has been posted online. It may be churlish to suggest, but the Muslim fundraising effort is not quite so guileless an effort as that in Victoria, Texas, because at the center of the Muslim campaign is Linda Sarsour, who has quite a history of heartfelt hate.

Linda Sarsour, the “Brooklyn Homegirl in a Hijab,” who has been made much of by the New York Times and, unsurprisingly, by Mayor Bill de Blasio, for whom she has consulted, is a longtime activist for the “Palestinian” cause.

Still, shouldn’t we be pleased that Linda Sarsour is raising that money to put those toppled tombstones back in place? Shouldn’t we take at face value her current claim that she wants “to send a unified message from the Jewish and Muslim communities that there is no place for this type of hate, desecration, and violence in America”? Alas, no. Linda Sarsour’s sincerity might not be questioned if she hadn’t spent the last decade working toward the same ends as Hamas, that is, the undoing of Israel. If there is “no place for this type of hate” – the toppled tombstones in the Jewish cemetery – there is a type of hate for which Linda Sarsour does manage to make space, and find a place. For any examination of her record shows quite an extensive display of hate – for the American government, for the C.I.A. and the F.B.I., for the New York Police Department, for Israelis and for those who support them. On her Twitter account she proclaims that “nothing is creepier than Zionism.” I take that to be a declaration of hate. She continues to insist, long after the truth was revealed, that a certain “Underwear Bomber was the C.I.A. all along.” This particular Underwear Bomber was a Saudi double-agent, and had nothing to do with the C.I.A. but don’t confuse Linda Sarsour with facts.

She accuses the American government of almost continuous campaigns of “genocide,” from the American Indians to the present where, we are given to understand, the latest targets are American Muslims. She has claimed that “Muslim kids are being executed” in the United States. She continuously attacks law enforcement for the monitoring of Muslims, as if there were no reason why some Muslims might need to be monitored, and convinced Mayor Di Blasio to disband the NYPD’s Demographics Unit, that kept close tabs on Muslim neighborhoods.

At a meeting of the Islamic Society of North America in 2010 Sarsour warned her audience to watch out for, that is treat with suspicion, rather than cooperate with, all the law enforcement and security services: “So I think that we need to be clear that when, in any case it’s not just the FBI that, really the resources are not in the FBI.…The resources are in our local communities and the NYPDs, LAPDs and the local organizations. So those black unidentified cars are probably 99.9 percent not FBI. They’re actually probably Intel. So I want to make sure that people understand that this is not a watch out for the FBI. It’s watch out for all law enforcement, whether they’re ICE, FBI, local NYPD.”

She claims that the American government was behind the killing of Malcolm X, for she wishes to exculpate Elijah Muhammad’s Black Muslims. And, above all, she denounces the Israelis every chance she gets for their “nothing-creepier-than-Zionism” Zionism, still refuses to denounce Hamas for any of its activities. She has lamented the death of Saddam Hussein because, however mass-murdering he may have been in Iraq, especially toward the Kurds and the Shi’a, according to Sarsour he supported the Palestinians like no other Arab leader, which makes him okay in her book.

She has cousins who are in Israeli jails because of their work for Hamas. She has met with a former Hamas financier.

And though given many opportunities to do so, Linda Sarsour has never denounced Hamas for anything, including the deliberate murder of children and babies, which is exactly what she baselessly accuses the Israelis of doing. She has described Sharia law as “reasonable” and further claimed that it “makes a lot of sense.” Many of those who have had to live under Sharia law, especially women and non-Muslims, will beg to differ.

While she was one of the organizers of the recent Women’s March on Washinigton, Sarsour is, according to Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a “fake feminist” whose loyalty is to Islam, that most misogynistic of faiths:

“Ms. Sarsour is hostile to me — and not because she knows me — but because she is a fake feminist,” Ali, a renowned author and activist who has appeared on the Women in the World stage, declared during an appearance on Fox News.

Ali was reacting to a recently resurfaced tweet from 2011 in which Sarsour, the executive director of the Arab American Association of New York, equated Ali with Brigitte Gabriel, the controversial leader of Act for America, a group that lobbies lawmakers to get tougher on terrorism and that critics suggest is anti-Islam. “Brigitte Gabriel = Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She’s asking 4 an a$$ whippin’. I wish I could take their vaginas away- they don’t deserve to be women,” Sarsour wrote on Twitter in 2011, in a tweet that’s now been deleted, long before she rose to prominence.”

Linda Sarsour is the woman who with a straight face proclaims she’s a feminist while denouncing real feminists who have the temerity to criticize Islam for its treatment of women. She’s spent her entire adult life denouncing Israelis and Zionism and Jews. She’s more than tender toward Hamas. She apparently saw nothing wrong with Saddam Hussein, because he supported the “Palestinians,” and besides, why should Linda Sarsour, an Arab, care what happened to the Kurds during the genocidal Anfal campaign? She’s got a good word to say for Sharia law, which for a putative feminist takes the cake. And now she has the sinister gall to claim that her fundraising to repair Jewish cemeteries is prompted by her sense of decency: “Through this campaign, we hope to send a united message from the Jewish and Muslim communities that there is no place for this type of hate, desecration, and violence in America,” and.”We pray that this restores a sense of security and peace to the Jewish-American community who [sic] has undoubtedly been shaken by this event.” A defender of Hamas and Sharia is not someone interested in any “sense of security and peace” for the “Jewish-American community.” She’ll do the minimum she deems necessary – a little well-publicized fundraising to repair toppled tombstones apparently will do it — to convince the terminally naïve that she’s all for convivencia.

As for her quality of mind, you be the judge of someone who tweets this kind of thing: “Brigitte Gabriel = Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She’s asking 4 an a$$ whippin’. I wish I could take their vaginas away- they don’t deserve to be women.” Yes, we all know standards have fallen, but this far? Can this beyond-belief vulgarity be tolerated? She’s not fooling you, and she’s not fooling me, and she’s not fooling Ayaan Hirsi Ali. It’s too bad that she’s still fooling NPR, and Mayor Di Blasio, and the organizers of the Women’s March On Washington.

    A very polished steath taqiyya tactic. She knows that clueless Leftists all around our country will now believe even more firmly the BIG LIE of “peace”.

    Dr. David Wood — the brilliant and funny expert on Islam — made a video several years ago that I have recommended many times here on Robert’s blog: “Three Stages of Jihad’.

    It runs almost 25 minutes, so watch when undistracted and not multitasking. He explains how Muhammad, when having no power against non-believers, used the same maneuver of cooperation with those he hated.

      For those of us who could use several more resources for truth about the religion of ending up in shredded pieces, here are three good ones:

      http://thereligionofpeace.com/pages/articles/quran-hate.aspx (A comprehensive commentary with extensive citations from the Qur’an.)

      http://www.citizenwarrior.com (Its item titled “The Terrifying Brilliance of Islam” is about a 10 – 15 minute read, but full of on-the-mark facts.)

      http://www.inquiryintoislam.com (Sharing some posts with Citizen Warrior, but also containing many lucid contextual articles by an array of authors.)

        I am writing this at about 7:30 Eastern US time, so all of Sunday still remains. For those of us who have that day (tomorrow) off of jobs, and spare time appears in your busy schedule, here is a favor to ask:

        COPY AND PASTE MY POST’S TEXT & LINKS ABOVE to clueless family, friends, personal faith leaders, state senators + representatives, and ESPECIALLY TV STATIONS in the small town or mid-size city where some of Robert’s JW readers live.

        We have a “multi-generational” war ahead (unforeseen decades and new presidents), so get started now if you have not already begun. Winning will be the difference between grandchildren slaughtered by Allah’s adherents versus a country without Islam’s pathology.

          I agree with jihad3tracker that Sarsour is part of a technique of ‘softening the hearts of disbelievers’ through bribery. Mohammed’s last command to his followers was to ‘continue giving bribes to emissaries as you have seen me do’. That means bribing the ambassadors and leaders of non-Muslims communities and/or countries. In this way, Muslims hope to make them more vulnerable to betrayal, subterfuge, extortion and attack.

          These are fifth columnist tactics.

    Thanks for the article Hugh. My thoughts precisely. You’d think her vile comments about Brigitte Gabriel and Ayaan Hirsi Ali would see her lose support but instead, she is lionized by so many on the left. Sarsour is definitely a bad seed.

      It’s horrifying, the cognitive dissonance among Leftists.

      Leftists say they’re for women’s rights, yet they have a double standard on female modesty. In their eyes, a modestly dressed Christian woman is “oppressed” but a modestly dressed Muslim woman is simply “practicing her religion” and we must “respect the Muslim culture,” even celebrate it.

      Leftists claim to be against homophobia…except when the homophobia is in the name of Islam. The Orlando nightclub massacre comes to mind.

      It’s useless to point out the hypocrisy to these people, though. They will just claim “Islamophobia.” Actually, I never thought about Muslims or Islam AT ALL until politicians and MSM started cramming the Islam narrative down our throats every time there is another terrorist attack. I’ve had to distance myself from a lot of people that I used to call friends, because liberals don’t seem to want to merely “agree to disagree” on politics anymore. Well, you can’t reason with an unreasonable person.

      While we ridicule (At least I do) the idea of a talking rock as the above quote would come from a rock, according to Mohammed, Christians believe in talking snakes, i.e. the one who told Eve to eat an apple.
      Rocks don’t talk and snakes don’t talk. To think so is somewhat foolish. But if they were to speak, what language would it be? What language did Adam and Eve speak? Was it any language now used or a language known only to them and used only by them—-and the snake.

      I consider Islam to be vile. I do not think Christianity as originally conceived is evil. But I do not believe in talking rocks or talking snakes.

        dogs don’t speak english or any other human language but we are still able to communicate with them,how is it so unbelievable that human at the time of creation could communicate with snakes , secondly the bible never uses the term snakes it says serpent which means deceiver or a deceiving entity.

    Just her ugly face makes me cringe. She certainly seems to have a fair bit of naive progressives wrapped around her finger. I don’t understand why people don’t see through her fake smile.

    She is scum of the earth.

    On January 21, some women’s rights groups organized “Women’s Marches” in many cities across the Unites States and around the world. The rallies largely targeted recently-inaugurated U.S. President Donald John Trump.

    One of the most prominent organizers of “Women’s Marches” is Linda Sarsour who is the head of the Arab American Association of New York and an Obama White House “Champion of Change,” who spoke at last month’s 15th annual convention of the Muslim American Society and Islamic Circle of North America.

    Linda Sarsour is very active on Twitter. She is pro Sharia law and a couple of her tweets even have a seditious tone to them where she glorifies Sharia law and hints at it taking over America whereby Americans will have interest free loans.

    The reasons why Linda Sarsour is one of the instigators are:
    DJ Trump declared he will only allow Muslims coming into the USA after they are fully vetted
    DJ Trump has declared TOTAL war against ISIS. No holds barred
    DJ Trump has promised to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the capital of Israel

    As far as Linda Sarsour is concerned DJ Trump is the enemy of Islam obviously and conveniently forgetting that Muslims and Islam have been and are the enemies of EVERY human being on Earth who is not a Muslim called Kuffar/ Infidels (currently 80% of none Muslim humanity). In fact Muslims had been active warring enemies of the American Republic since its birth in 1776.

    As a Muslima, Linda Sarsour suffers from the debilitating mental disorder that plagues ALL Muslim called “Blame the Victim” Syndrome.

    Dear Americans not a SINGLE female among the hundreds of thousands demonstrating against President Trump at the behest of Linda Sarsour and others has two brain cells of logic because under Sharia EVERY female on Earth is just one little step higher up the ladder of evolution than Domestic Animals.

    For those who are clueless about Islam, I am speaking of 750,000,000 Muslim females who are subjected to horrendous discriminatory male imposed rules including 125,000,000 who have so far suffered Female Genital Mutilation yet these utterly STUPID American women are demonstrating FOR Sharia.

    Since Linda Sarsour is Sharia compliant (like ALL Muslims), therefore she is FORBIDDEN from ever being LOYAL to the American Constitution (because it is not from Allah’s Sharia) nor can she ever be LOYAL to none Muslim Americans (called Kuffar/ Infidels; 97% of Americans)

    The title – Muslims helping Jews – as well as the efforts described (fundraising) in this article are laughable, at best.

    Soo many opportunities for comments in this article. The key takeaway is that Linda Sarsour is a fake who has somehow discovered a platform for her big, lying mouth. Keep telling the truth about this undermining, non-human.

    Please advise of the Women’s March, as organized by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. I will gladly attend a march on behalf of her causes.

    Hugh Fitzgerald wrote this…

    “She’ll do the minimum she deems necessary … to convince the terminally naïve that she’s all for convivencia.”

    …and I read that word “convivencia” as meaning she pretends to be for “getting along” (with the Jews), and then did a second take – thinking hey – wait a minute, that’s not English is it? The reason the word immediately took on meaning for me was because that “convivencia” is “getting along (with)” in my second language. I quickly Googled it, because now I was confused as I sometimes confuse words between English and my second language, and immediately saw that indeed it wasn’t English, then wondered to myself, why did Hugh choose to use a Spanish word? Then remembering that I had seen something that gave that word historical context at the top of the Google search results, I flipped back there once more and read it…

    La Convivencia (“The Coexistence”) is an academic hypothesis regarding the period of Spanish history from the Muslim Umayyad conquest of Hispania in the early eighth century until the expulsion of the Jews in 1492.

    The supposed “Golden Age”! Then realized – that was a very clever and subtle play on words! Congratulations for your cleverness, Hugh! I would never have noticed that if I didn’t speak the language. (all right – to be more precise, my second language is Portuguese and not Spanish, but the meaning of that word is the same in either of these two languages).

      “to send a unified message from the Jewish and Muslim communities that there is no place for this type of hate, desecration, and violence in America”

      Then there’s the special dispensation reserved for the worst of people in the Holy Land –

      “Remember that during the 19 years of Jordanian control over the Old City of Jerusalem 58 synagogues were destroyed, or used as urinals and stables. The ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mt. of Olives was desecrated. Jewish tombstones were used for latrines and to pave roads. Clearly, the Arabs have shown they hate the living Jews so much they even attack our dead.” – Emanuel A Winston (from HEBRON: “DIG UP YOUR DEAD & TAKE THEIR BONES WITH YOU”)

  10. mortimer says

    Mar 5, 2017 at 9:28 am

    Sarsour claimed on her Twitter account “nothing is creepier than Zionism.”

    Her conclusion is that Jews have no right to a homeland where they will not be a persecuted minority subject to the winds of anti-Semitism.

    The Koran actually gives Jews a duty to ‘dwell in the land’ (of Israel).

    The hatred of Israel cherished as if it is valid part of Islam, is actually a modern, political movement whose intention is to confiscate the territory of Israel and annex it to Jordan.

    The dishonestly wrap themselves in Islam, whereas, when the idea of a Jewish state was raised during WWI, there was little rejection of the idea from Muslim leaders and even some support for it.

  11. jewdog says

    Mar 5, 2017 at 11:08 am

    The Muslim strategy is to encourage Jews to feel safe in America but not in Israel, then after Israel is destroyed they will turn their malevolent attention to America.
    My message to Jews helping Muslims: Turning the other cheek and loving your enemies are not Jewish values.

  12. Lioness says

    Mar 5, 2017 at 12:30 pm

    I am going to vomit. Those idiotic Jews and Christians helping the enemies of Jews and Christians to destroy them, is the epitome of stupidity and lack of self preservation. When will they learn that islam is only going to (literally) stab them in the back?

  13. SK says

    Mar 5, 2017 at 8:36 pm

    Minor point: Sarsour argues that “Sharia” law is just her independently living by her religious practices. I know that it was on her Twitter.
