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

Al-Arabiya slams Linda Sarsour as “Islamist activist” and Muslim Brotherhood ally

Dec 10, 2018 3:31 pm By Robert Spencer

“The Democrats battle against Republican control of the US Congress led to an alliance with political Islamic movements in order to restore their control on [sic] government.”

The Saudis can say that (al-Arabiya is a Saudi enterprise), but if you’re an American who says that, you’ll be smeared as a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.”

“Al-Arabiya slams Linda Sarsour as Muslim Brotherhood ally,” Jerusalem Post, December 9, 2018:

Linda Sarsour is an extremist who has “roots in [the] Muslim Brotherhood,” according to an English-language feature on Al-Arabiya, the Saudi Arabia based news channel. The article published in idiomatic English on Sunday accused the Brotherhood of “shaping the thoughts of American activist Linda Sarsour, [which resulted in] her declaring her ‘Jihad’ against US President Donald Trump.”…

Written by Huda al-Saleh, the article sought to expose what it called “details of calls to attack Trump by US ‘Muslim Sisters’ allied to the Brotherhood.” The article began by noting that two Muslim women, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, were recently elected to the US Congress.

However, “those sponsoring and supporting the two Muslim women to reach the US Congress adopted a tactic to infiltrate through their immigrant and Black minority communities in general,” insinuating that Muslim Brotherhood activists sought to drum up support for the Democratic candidates.

“The Democrats battle against Republican control of the US Congress led to an alliance with political Islamic movements in order to restore their control on [sic] government.” The piece asserted that the Brotherhood and “all movements of political Islam” are also tied to fighting against sanctions on Iran….

Under the headline “Sarsour activities with Muslim Brotherhood,” the feature detailed a series of events attended by the activist. It claimed she went to the International Network of Muslim Brotherhood in North America in 2016 which was “organized by the Islamic Circle of North America.” In 2018, groups in Canada raised concerns about Sarsour’s participation at another ICNA event, according to The Canadian Jewish News.

But Al-Arabiya pointed out that Sarsour appeared next to Samah Safi Bayazid, who had posted a photo with Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan on her Twitter account. In this roundabout explanation, the article sought to link Sarsour to Siraj Wahhaj, a “pioneering Islamic preacher in New York.” Unsurprisingly, the article then claimed that Wahhaj – “whom Linda Sarsour has admired and who in turn influenced her” – has been in the spotlight for being arrested in New Mexico.

Sarsour was also accused of using the term “jihad” during a speech about Trump. “These are terms used by the Muslim Brotherhood teachings and in the views of Sayyid Qutb,” the article claimed, going on to then link the same terms “used and preached also by [the] al-Qaeda terrorist organization.”

The article labeled Sarsour an “Islamist activist” for this speech, and asserted that her support of human rights is coded within use of terms that are also used by extremists. “What Linda Sarsour has said is not far from those [words] of Zainab al-Ghazali, one of the most prominent women of the Muslim Brotherhood.”

    UN figures show that out of the Top 12 countries for breaching/denying Human Rights to women, 11 of them are Muslim majority countries. Who would you believe – Sarsour or Mohammed’s Child Wife, Ayisha, when she said, “Nobody suffers like the women of the Believer.” [Sahih Bukhari]. Definitely in one of the hadith texts.

    But no doubt, as usual, the establishment media in the U.S. will continue to refuse to believe them.

    The MB has done a very good job of infiltrating, co-opting, and riding the coattails of American civil rights “activism”, the so-called “anti-Trump resistance” pile-on, and hence the recent momentum of cultural Marxist groups like Black Lives Matter and the pink pussy hats/nasty women so-called “feminists”; all with the full support of the mind-numbing establishment media, and with Antifa criminals and thugs as their henchmen; allowing them to successfully shut down counter-jihad gatherings and demonstrations.

    This has jettsoned LIttle Ms,.Cockroach into the limelight, and made a superstar out of her. Glad to see there is finally some pushback against this absolute fraud of a “feminist”, as light is finally being shed on her openly anti-semitic sentiments and objectives.

    Despite all of this, the treasonous mainstream, PC, establishment media will continue to spin their omissively fake news and poisonous lies, and ignore and obscure the increasingly hard-to-ignore-and-obscure reality on the ground.

    Linda Sarsour is obviously not bright enough to be a ring-leader of sewing circle. She is a puppet/poster girl for the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States. She is part of a CONSPIRACY to take over North America in the name of Islam.

    CONSPIRACY? Is the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD *CONSPIRATORIAL* ??? Yup.

    The whole Sarsour “thing” smacks of opportunism on her part (no doubt she’s being well taken care of financially for being the “poster woman” to make Islam more “Western”–in which case, it also smacks of taqiyya on the part of Islamists.

    Willfully ignorant progressives….they refuse to look closely at Islamic software and how it’s been forcibly downloaded over the past 1400 years.

    Associated with muzbro? And what? Barack Hussain and his sidekick, Iranian Valerie Jarrett, along with Hillary Clinton and her sidekick, Huma Abedin, John Brennan, Eric Holder… The list of muzbro thugs is long within the dim party. They’ve successfully transformed the dim party into the islammunist party. Media won’t even touch them, let alone law enforcement.

    Laws are for the Republicans and the little people.

    We live in interesting times. The ostensibly Catholic Pope embraces Islam and KSA shuns the Muslim Brotherhood and attacks Linda Sarsour.

    Here is some history which explains the latter. As a cradle Catholic I am too clueless and broken-hearted to explain the former.

How fortunate that they were able to spare the time from their current speaking tour. Anything for a friend, hey Hilly?

      I’m glad to see that Huma looks well…um, as well as ever. Skinny gal, with an expression like there’s a bad taste she can;t get out of her mouth. I hope she and Hilly both stay alert and watch their backs.

      Visionaries. It’s a vision from hell. Totalitarians and thieves. Worst of the worst. Jamal Khashoggi was not available to express his opinion.
      ……….
      Human rights in Saudi Arabia are intended to be based on the Wahhabi religious laws under absolute rule of the Saudi royal family. The strict regime ruling the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is consistently ranking among the “worst of the worst” in Freedom House’s annual survey of political and civil rights.

        Everything is relative. For centuries, the Arabs just wondered around Arabia in tribes as nomads. I would say that it was visionary of MbS’ grandfather to pull all the tribes together into one nation. Until his assassination in 1975, King Faisal was also trying to modernize the Kingdom. MbS has just gotten started. We don’t know how modern Saudi Arabia may be by the time he’s done with it. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Give him a chance. That confounded Khashoggi was Muslim Brotherhood who was buddies with bin Laden. Did anyone ever stop to think that the Crown Prince may have known more about Khashoggi than the public does? I haven’t heard anything about Khashoggi being canonized. Have you?

        • WPM says

          Dec 11, 2018 at 11:36 am

          There are no good leaders or Visionaries in your list it all want the same thing to be supremist over the west. They will fight over and kill each other to be top dog. Muslim brotherhood, Saudi Arabia, Khashoggi Moslem brotherhood operate .”Roman was not built in a day” if the Saudi “Crown Prince ” condemns Sharia law has religious freedom in his kingdom and does away with all blasphemy laws then maybe he will have something to build on. When he removes capital punishment for adultery, Homosexuality, and other minor offensives ,he can talk about moving to at lest the 19th century versus 7th century law. Moslem killing other Moslems for 1400 years because they are not Moslem enough .If they follow Islam they cannot be following modern civilized law.

          Dec 11, 2018 at 11:59 am

          WPM, right now, the Saudis have an absolute monarchy, so the citizens live or die at the pleasure of the Royal Family. Also, as someone posted on one of these stories, Hanbali Wahhabi Sharia Law is the rule in Saudi Arabia. That’s the starting point. I say give the guy a chance and let’s see what he does. Don’t discourage him before he even gets started.

        • gravenimage says

          Dec 11, 2018 at 9:35 pm

          Renate, I don’t think that assassinating critics is in in any way “modern”–it is, in fact, the same old savagery of Islamic potentates stretching back to the “Prophet” himself.

        • Renate says

          Dec 11, 2018 at 9:52 pm

          Khashoggi was more Muslim Brotherhood than he was a journalist. The Saudis knew that.

        • gravenimage says

          Dec 11, 2018 at 10:29 pm

          Yes–Khashoggi was Muslim Brotherhood–and as I have said I was *no* fan of this creep.

          But Muslims torturing their critics to death is not a good thing, either. And the Saudis did not torture him to death because of his adherence to Islam, but just because he backed a rival faction to their own.

          Moreover, the Saudis are not apt to stop at killing other fervent Muslims–they are as apt to target Infidels and more ‘moderate’ Muslims, as well.

          And here is a woman likely to have been tortured to death by the Saudis for the “crime” of witchcraft:

        • Renate says

          Dec 11, 2018 at 11:06 pm

          I don’t see the Muslim Brotherhood as just a rival to the Saudis. I think they were instrumental for years in violence against other Muslims and Infidels for their own ideological purposes. Khashoggi had pictures of himself and his buddy bin Laden taken around 9/11. He could have inspired another Arab Spring to get more people killed if he’d lived, too. He wasn’t an angel. I don’t see the Saudis indiscriminately killing people or trying to knock off everyone who doesn’t like them. If I were in an absolute monarchy, I think I’d try to comply with the laws of the monarchy. Unfortunately for that woman, the Saudis apparently didn’t update laws like those on “witchcraft”. The Saudis all used to be nomads. It was only in the last century that they even became a nation. Baby steps. You can’t constantly slap people down when they’re trying to get up.

        • gravenimage says

          Dec 12, 2018 at 12:22 am

          Actually, the Saudis regularly lop off the heads of their victims–this is not unusual there. And it is not that the Saudis are not updating their laws–they are imposing the savagery of Shari’ah law.

          No one would be happier than myself if Shari’ah were really modern, Renate–i.e., civilized–but alas it is anything but.

        • Renate says

          Dec 12, 2018 at 12:46 am

          If that’s what they want to practise in their own country, by international law, we can’t stop them. I don’t think I would like to live under Sharia law. The Muslim Brotherhood tries to bring it to the West by stealth jihad. Prior to MbS becoming Crown Prince, I think some Saudi princes funded Wahhabi mosques in other countries. MbS may not do that. He seems to me to be something like King Faisal who wanted to modernize Saudi Arabia. I certainly hope he does and if he does, I hope he lives for a VERY long time.

        • gravenimage says

          Dec 12, 2018 at 10:55 pm

          Renate, I did not say that we can stop Muslims from acting like barbarians in the lands they have conquered–we can’t. But we can still say that such barbarism is a bad thing.

          And I *hope* that Saudi Arabia has stopped funding Jihad Mosques; but I have not seen any indication that it has done so.

        • Renate says

          Dec 12, 2018 at 11:26 pm

          The thing is: Just last century, these were tribal people and fundamentalist Islam teaches them that their Prophet was the perfect man and that they should emulate him. Therefore, as far as Islam is concerned, no one needs to progress in any way past the 7th century. O.K. Fine and dandy for them, but it makes me wonder why OUR leaders want to inflict this medieval life style on US. All I can come up with is that the globalist elites are selling us out for their own profit and that is unacceptable, so maybe that’s what we should be addressing first and foremost.

      • Renate says

        Dec 11, 2018 at 12:25 pm

        Terry, Time has just named Jamal Khashoggi a “Person of the Year”. Time’s sources must be spewing taqiyya and so they will print FAKE NEWS.

    Anyone who has watched Sarsour would know that she is affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood.

    The MB have their tentacles well entrenched within western politics and those from Muslim communities that run for public office should have to be thoroughly vetted for any connection to the MB.

    The Muslim Brotherhood objective is to bring down the west from within and use our political systems and our freedoms as a way to achieve their goal.

    The MB are the ultimate trojan horse spilling their jihadi’s out of their shell of political credibility as elected officials and political advisors.

    The Muslim Brotherhood is an existential threat to our very existence and MUST be declared a terrorist organization and purged, in all its forms, from our political systems if we are to retain control of our politics and by extension our western way of life.

    According to Cockroach, she was ‘white’ prior to wearing a Hijab, and then a person ‘of colour’ when wearing one. Typical opportunist.
