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

Linda Sarsour solicits donations for “Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund” that’s actually Leftist activist group

Aug 30, 2017 4:53 pm By Robert Spencer

Shameless indeed. And while we are on the subject of shameless and questionable financial dealings by Linda Sarsour, where is the $100,000 Sarsour raised for a Jewish cemetery?

In her own defense after controversy began over this, Sarsour tweeted out a list of organizations to support, including the Islamic Circle of North America.

The Islamic Circle of North America: “ICNA has close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, the ideological forebear of all radical Islamic movements — including Hamas and al-Qaeda. Documents show that Hamas officials have participated in previous ICNA events. ‘The ICNA’s hatred of the Jews is so fierce,’ writes Emerson, ‘that it taunted them with a repetition of what Hitler did to them.’ In his book American Jihad, [terrorism expert Steve] Emerson expounds: ‘The ICNA openly supports militant Islamic fundamentalist organizations, praises terror attacks, issues incendiary attacks on western values and policies, and supports the imposition of Sharia [Islamic law].’ ICNA was named in a May 1991 Muslim Brotherhood document — titled ‘An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America‘ — as one of the Brotherhood’s 29 likeminded ‘organizations of our friends’ that shared the common goal of destroying America and turning it into a Muslim nation. These ‘friends’ were identified by the Brotherhood as groups that could help teach Muslims ‘that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands … so that … God’s religion [Islam] is made victorious over all other religions.’”

“SHAMELESS: Linda Sarsour Solicits Donations For ‘Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund’ That’s Actually A Leftist Organizing Group,” by Hank Berrien, Daily Wire, August 30, 2017:

On Monday, leftist icon Linda Sarsour used the tragedy of Hurricane Harvey to funnel money to a leftist political group with no obvious connection to the victims who were traumatized by the hurricane.

Sarsour tweeted:

…The site for Sarsour’s chosen charity, the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund, which is a project of the Texas Organizing Project Education Fund, writes:

Rebuilding in areas impacted by Harvey will be most challenging for marginalized communities. Nearly a quarter of Houstonians live in poverty — approximately 550,000 people. We also estimate that there are 575,000 immigrants in the Houston metro area. We will work to move the material aid the most vulnerable hit by Harvey to ensure their access to critical services — from first response and basic needs to healthcare, housing, transportation, immigration. Together we will organize and advocate for our devastated communities, shining a spotlight on inequalities that emerge in the restoration of lives, livelihoods, and homes, amplifying the needs of hard-hit communities, and providing legal assistance for residents wrongfully denied government support.

The Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund is supported by the left-wing groups SEIU and MoveOn.org, among other groups. The Texas Organizing Project Education Fund’s parent organization, the Texas Organizing Project, was an organization morphed into by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), the radical group that was allegedly implicated in voter-registration fraud, vote-rigging, voter intimidation, and vote-for-pay scams. ACORN was disbanded in 2010, but at least 15 former ACORN employees were convicted of voter fraud-related activities, according to Discover the Networks.

    Google is also running a donation site….it popped up on google home page….said it was going to Red Cross, thru another organization….I hope that it was not the Sarsour group.

      When the earthquake hit Haiti the international ted cross collect 500 000 000 dollae to builting houseing. They only built 6 houses total costing 500 000 000 dollar. They built mansion for wealthy people.

      • gravenimage says

        Aug 31, 2017 at 9:57 pm

        “Brian Hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–as usual manages to get things wrong, as well as to mangle English grammar.

        Firstly, this criticism was not of the “international ted cross”–or even the International Red Cross–but of the American Red Cross.

        But such criticism does not understand what it is that the American Red Cross does. It does not provide long-term rebuilding–it is there to provide relief in the immediate aftermath of a disaster, and it does.

        After that point, all money–including that earmarked by donors for specific relief efforts–goes into the general kitty, to be used for the next disaster.

        This has *always* been the case, and anyone contributing to the Red Cross through their web site is notified of the fact.

        There were similar criticisms after 9/11 and after Hurricane Katrina–again, misunderstanding the purpose of the Red Cross.

        But that is not what is happening here with Linda Sarsour–contributions to the “charity” she is flogging do not go to Hurricane victims at all, short term or otherwise.

        This is, in fact, quite common with Muslims in general–so often, “Zakat”–mistranslated as “charity”–often goes to fund violent Jihad instead.

        Note that “Brian Hoff” has no concern about hurricane victims at all. And why would he? They are mostly “filthy Infidels”, after all.

        Muslims rarely make charitable contributions–even in Dar-al-Islam, most charities are run by caring Infidels.

        Many people react emotionally and do not think. That is how the “Progressives” or “Left”, and Islamics manage to advance their agendas. They people to react emotionally without thinking.

      Too many naive fools believe that supremacist and terror-linked CAIR is a civil rights group.

      • StacyGirl says

        Aug 30, 2017 at 8:19 pm

        Even if CAIR were a civil rights group, they are not in a position to deliver direct emergency aid. This is a new low, even for Sarsour.

        • Sons of Liberty says

          Aug 31, 2017 at 12:34 am

          It is a new low for Sarsour but what can we expect from a believer in taqiyya , to lie to the infidels . I give to Samaritans Purse , a group that gives over 88% of all donations to the people that need it.

        • karl anglin says

    Aug 30, 2017 at 5:19 pm

    Donate to a trusted relief agency, with a proven record of account and a strong moral compass. Following that criteria automatically excludes fakes like Sarsour.

    Samaritan’s Purse worked in New Orleans for months after Hurricane Katrina, relieving the suffering of local residents. They repaired damaged homes, provided medical care and fed countless people. Now the Christian non-profit is operating hospitals in some of the most dangerous regions in the world, where ISIS is actively slaughtering people. Christian Charities like Samaritan’s Purse does more than talk, they do what very few other non-profits do. They stay and serve people long after the journalists have left, and their is no more donations to be made.

    What has Sarsour done for people in need and in existential danger? Anything? Well, I mean, except bitch about the USA and whites and men and Christians?

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 30, 2017 at 6:51 pm

      Yes–be sure that your donations go to a reputable charity.

      • JawsV says

        Aug 30, 2017 at 7:23 pm

        I’ve donated to the Houston SPCA. Easy to find on the ‘net and to donate.

          Yes–we gave to them, too, Jaws. They take care of lost and abandoned pets, and work to reunite them with their owners. They just air-lifted a lot of critters out of the flood zone.

      The Clinton Foundation took in millions for Haiti but delivered pennies in comparison to the people ! A Haiti representative was set to give evidence on the FRAUD , but was found dead under very suspicious reasons. You know the typical suicide note, or accident of so many that have died trying to reveal the truth about the Clintons. I doubt Sarsour will be prosecuted ,..but she should be.

    What Linda Sarsaur is actually doing by taking money under false pretenses is a crime called “theft by deception.” How unconscionable of her . One way she might be able to rationalize this despicable deception that she is engaging in is by her Islamic mindset which included the Muslim doctrine of MURUNA which is the teaching in Islam that “It’s appropriate to do evil if its for the greater good.”
    Which She, no doubt, believes is the cause of Islam Doing evil for the “greater good” The Marxists of the last century also had the idea of “Doing evil for the “greater good.”
    Linda Saraur might also be practicing the doctrine of TAQIYYA which is the Islamic concept of creating deception of the advancement of Islam.
    Islam : what a deceptive and insidious religion it is !

    • Brian Hoff says

      Aug 31, 2017 at 1:26 pm

      They are helping the people in the hurricane hit area but to help the real poor like black and other minority groups.

        Aug 31, 2017 at 10:13 pm

        Proof? Again, I will not be holding my breath.

        Also, “Brian Hoff’s”–really, “DefenderofIslam’s”–claim that only minority groups are poor in Houston is, of course, quite false. But what else would one expect from a Mohammedan?

  8. Wellington says

    Aug 30, 2017 at 7:10 pm

    Bottom line: Linda Sarsour is looking for new recruits to her “cause” via that temporary ally, the Left.

    Count on it.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 31, 2017 at 10:16 pm

      Yes.

      If you want to see what Muslims do to their Leftist allies if they gain full power, just look at the brutal liquidation of the Communist Tudeh Party by the Mullahs in the early 1980s in Iran. A good–but very harrowing–book is “Letters to My Torturer” by Houshang Asadi, one of the few to survive the purge.

      • Donald R Laster Jr says

        Sep 1, 2017 at 5:11 am

        Totalitarian ideologies, and Islam like Communism is one, always consume their allies. It is the nature of beast.

    The Cockroach again? “Sarsour” means “Cockroach” in Arabic. Why doesn’t she scurry back into the woodwork? In addition, she doesn’t give a cr** about Infidels! Reminds me of Muslims calling Hurricane Katrina “Sergeant Katrina” because she killed a whole bunch of Infidels which pleases Allah. Sarsour’s all about Islamic deception.

  10. RonaldB says

    Aug 30, 2017 at 7:35 pm

    Leftists just LOVE getting ripped off by affinity-scamming con-artists. Sarsour might be able to siphon off some of the funds going to the SPLC or ADL. They’re all going for the same cause, so the karma has not really changed. I would like to think that the exposes on Jihad Watch would have some effect, but we all know leftist ideologues are fact-free.

    Aug 30, 2017 at 8:12 pm

    One must always know who and what an organization is. Giving to any group that is associated with the “Left” or the government of Islam is stupid. These types of organization will always use people and the money to advance their agenda. Look at how many organizations associated with the “Left” really have kept most money they raise for themselves over the years. Haiti is just one example.

    And he is a question. How many of the “immigrants” are actually illegal aliens?

    Muslims think they’re cute with the constant premises that Americans are racist/bigoted, Europeans are racist/bigoted, white people are racist/bigoted, our societies are “unequal” (and thankfully so, although drastic inequality is harmful, some inequality is healthy and is evidence of a merit-based society initiating and rewarding excellence and productivity) and need Muslims’ aid in becoming the anti-capitalist places they’ve fled from, that our societies need help in becoming the theocracies they’ve fled from, the deeply, deeply misogynistic places they’ve fled from, and that our societies need their help in becoming the lawless places they’ve fled from.

    We see you. It’s not happening. Over 50% of Brits now report feeling your religion is a threat to the West writ large, and the recognition is only growing. All the ISNA, ICNA, CAIR, FUBAR stuff is noted by many as being the subversive theocratic entryist intellectual vomit it is.

        Exactly, Donald.

        Christians–and Jews, and other Infidels–regularly provide charity.

        The United States and the rest of the West are the most charitable nations–even when the disaster is elsewhere in the world.

        The *least* charitable? Dar-al-Islam. This is true even when adjusted for income.

        Here’s the lowdown on the most commonly cited Islamic charity:

          And note–“DefenderofIslam” is only pretending that Muslims are charitable because they haven’t taken over yet.

          Does ISIS pretend to be charitable towards the “filthy Infidels”? Boko Haram? Al Shebaab? Of course not.
