Only if Jews, women, and all non-Muslims do not count as humans. My latest in PJ Media:
Video has surfaced of the hijab-wearing feminist heroine Linda Sarsour speaking in California in December, complaining about her education:
I went to public school. My parents couldn’t afford to send seven children to Islamic school … As I grew older, I realized that I got cheated out of my Islamic education. You know what I feel like I got cheated out of? Nobody told me that my beloved Prophet Muhammad was an activist. He was a human rights activist.
Muhammad was a human rights activist?
Only if Jews do not count as humans.
The Qur’an depicts the Jews as fabricating things and falsely ascribing them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181, 5:64); loving to listen to lies (5:41); disobeying Allah and never observing his commands (5:13); disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); and giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87).
It gets worse. The Qur’an accuses the Jews of wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); and being miserly (4:53).
And then there’s the bad stuff.
The Qur’an tells Muslims that Jews will be their worst enemies (5:82) and that they’re under Allah’s curse (9:30), and that Muslims must wage war against and subjugate them under the hegemony of Sharia, denying them basic rights (9:29).
Women’s March leader Linda Sarsour said Muhammad was a human rights activist?
Perhaps if women do not count as humans, either.
The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women, and should beat women from whom they “fear disobedience”:
Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them (4:34).
Muhammad’s child bride Aisha — she was six when forced to marry him — says in a hadith:
[Muhammad] struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: “Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?” (Sahih Muslim 2127)
The Qur’an likens a woman to a field (tilth), to be used at will by a man:
Your women are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth as you will (2:223).
The Qur’an declares that a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man:
Get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as you choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her (2:282).
The Qur’an allows men to marry up to four wives — and to have sex slaves:
If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two or three or four; but if you fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly, then only one, or one that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice (4:3).
The Qur’an rules that a son’s inheritance should be twice the size of a daughter’s inheritance:
Allah directs you as regards your children’s inheritance: to the male, a portion equal to that of two females (4:11).
The Qur’an allows for marriage to pre-pubescent girls, stipulating that Islamic divorce procedures “shall apply to those who have not yet menstruated” (65:4).
Islamic law (Sharia) stipulates that a man’s prayer is annulled if a dog, a donkey, or a woman passes in front of him as he is praying:
Narrated ‘Aisha: The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before me. They said, “Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman (if they pass in front of the praying people).” I said, “You have made us (i.e. women) dogs.” I saw the Prophet praying while I used to lie in my bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I would slip away for I disliked to face him (Sahih Bukhari 1.9.490).
A hadith depicts Muhammad saying that the majority of the inhabitants of hell are women:
I looked into Paradise and I saw that the majority of its people were the poor. And I looked into Hell and I saw that the majority of its people are women (Sahih Bukhari 3241; Sahih Muslim 2737).
When asked about this, Muhammad explained:
“I was shown Hell and I have never seen anything more terrifying than it. And I saw that the majority of its people are women.” They said, “Why, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “Because of their ingratitude (kufr).”
It was said, “Are they ungrateful to Allah?” He said, “They are ungrateful to their companions (husbands) and ungrateful for good treatment. If you are kind to one of them for a lifetime then she sees one (undesirable) thing in you, she will say, ‘I have never had anything good from you’” (Sahih Bukhari 1052).
Muhammad explained further in another hadith:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went out to the musalla (prayer place) on the day of Eid al-Adha or Eid al-Fitr. He passed by the women and said, “O women! Give charity, for I have seen that you form the majority of the people of Hell.”
They asked, “Why is that, O Messenger of Allah?” He replied, “You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religious commitment than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you.”
The women asked, “O Messenger of Allah, what is deficient in our intelligence and religious commitment?” He said, “Is not the testimony of two women equal to the testimony of one man?” They said, “Yes.” He said, “This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Is it not true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?” The women said, “Yes.” He said, “This is the deficiency in her religious commitment” (Sahih Bukhari 304).
Muhammad is depicted condemning wives who do not provide sex on demand:
If a husband calls his wife to his bed [i.e. to have sexual relation] and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning (Sahih Bukhari 4.54.460).
So Muhammad was a human rights activist?
Perhaps — if every single non-Muslim does not count as a human. Here are some more quotes attributed to Muhammad in the Hadith:
— I have been made victorious through terror (Sahih Bukhari 4:52.220).
— Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war. … When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them …
If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya (a tax on non-Muslims). If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands.
If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them (Sahih Muslim 4294).
— I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah, and he who professed it was guaranteed the protection of his property and life on my behalf except for the right affairs rest with Allah (Sahih Muslim 30).
— May Allah curse the Jews and Christians for they built the places of worship at the graves of their Prophets (Sahih Bukhari 1.8.427).

Ann Marie says
Interesting….her words mirror those said by followers and admirers of Hitler in the 1930’s who met their ‘beloved leader’ and followed his teachings to their deaths.
Perhaps Ms. Sarsour would be much, much happier if her life was spent in the land where her ‘beloved prophet’ Muhammed tread, lived, killed, raped, cheated, plundered…
We don’t need her kind here. She is as far away from being an American as Hitler was …

He was one of the biggest, if not theee biggest ‘human’ ‘rights’ activists for every form of CRIMINAL, every vile act of SIN, from pedophilia to sex slavery to butchery, torture, murder, corruption, stealing, the list goes on… but to them these are ‘human rights.’ Or should we say men’s ‘rights,’ since it’s all about plunder for men anyway in islam? And the exploitation of women? She would just be a poor, subjugated, oppressed, submissive, dominated, owned, beaten, sexually abused, and even tortured (fgm) female with no rights at all. If she dared to even entertain the thought, they would execute her to end her misery. But that is what she is advocating for, what she wants for all the women out there including herself…. you just can’t figure some people out.

Only the most dishonest people in the world could read the Qur’an and the hadiths, then come away thinking Muhammad was a human rights activist, or that, Islam is the religion of peace.
Mark Swan says
“Nobody told me that my beloved Prophet Muhammad was an activist.
He was a human rights activist.”
This ridiculous stunt should come back to haunt her—it is far
too late to attempt to cover-up Muhammad’s reputation.

“On December 2, 2018, Palestinian-American political activist Linda Sarsour spoke at the 2018 Salam Annual Banquet, held at the Salam Community Center in Sacramento, CA.”
Rather imagine the adoring audience simply ate it up.
Would she say the same things at a mixed audience? And if she ever does, would members of that audience challenger her assertions?
Emilie Green says
Muslim Americans?
Like unicorns, they don’t exist. Neither do Muslim British, or Muslim Canadians, or Muslim French, and so forth. So maybe they have in hand all the paperwork of superficial citizenship, but all of that would have been falsely, fraudulently, obtained through lying.
Muslims prove this point over and over again. And they state it over and over as well. Namely, that they are loyal only to Islam, and to nothing else. Affirmed by the Orlando shooter, by the Fort Hood murderer, by the Boston Bombers, by the Paris Bombers, by the 911 hijackers, the countless murders by Muslims in Europe (Lee Rigby, Charlie Hebdo, Bataclan, et alia) and on and on. Explaining why Muslims can never be trusted and never be considered loyal Americans, British, Canadians, French, Italian, Australian, and so forth. They represent an enemy living among us.
Here in America, as elsewhere, Muslims are out for colonization and conquest. They cannot be considered Americans because of their adoption of Islam, and their wish to impose it on us. By force, since they will follow their 1400-year practice, should we decline their we-won’t-be-taking-no-for-an-answer “offer” to adopt Islam. Shariah (total government) and American constitutional principles (government contained/controlled by the people) couldn’t be farther apart. To the Muslim no man-made law could ever be superior to the Shariah considered by them to come directly from their Allah.
Is it possible to conceive of a Muslim American? No way. At best and at most they can only be described as “Muslims who live in North America,” but they are not Americans in the heart, where it counts. I’m gladdened to see more and more real Americans are seeing Muslims for the danger that they are.
PRCS says
Thank you for your post, Emiile.
While I didn’t use the term “Muslim American” in my post, I have used “Muslims in America” in previous posts.
Yes, it’s possible to conceive of Muslim Americans, so long as neither they nor anyone is doing nothing more than U.S. law allows.No punitive amputations, thank you. No inhumane animal slaughter. No polygamy. Etc.
Of course, Sarsour does not fit that definition. As you may recall (though she has been careful to not cross the line) she’s made her beliefs quite clear.

Very true, Emilie.
Savvy Kafir says
I agree. The more I learn about Islam and Muslims, the less I trust any of them. It was unbelievably stupid to allow Muslims to immigrate to the West. And it’s a mistake we need to fix, before the West is swallowed up by Islam.

I feel cheated as well the reason I went to the public system and in Canada at that time they stopped teaching you to write and math was a complete joke.
RonaldB says
It seems leftists and traditional Americans are becoming separate species. The feminists love Sarsour as do the soy-boy leftist males. Leftists are immune to facts and logic. They don’t want to debate and if somehow caught in a situation where they’re in a discussion or listening to a factual presentation, they don’t care.
So, it’s actually a head count rather than a debate, which is why the Democrats push open borders over every other issue. The Democrats debate through invective and emotion, so they need to import more peoples who react on that level
Joe says
When they are presented with factual information, they start screaming that they feel unsafe, and immediately, they are victims with special needs. If the facts keep coming, they get violent.

As I grew older, I realized that I got cheated out of my Islamic education.

Don’t know what she’s talking about. Here’s Islam in one easy lesson: Muslims and Islam good; everything else* bad and deserving of death which you as a Muslim should do if you have the chance. That’s it.

The only human rights Mo cared about were his own and his most devout followers. The word to consider in her statement is “Human” for the only ones that Mo and his minions consider to be Human are devout Followers of Islam. Every one else is considered sub human in Islam i.e. “Jews are “monkeys”” to the Islamist.
So Sarsour, that hate filled Islamist, can take her opinion and shove it. As for it being a statement of truth, historical facts prove otherwise.

Spot on, Tom. In Islam only Muslims are considered to be human.

“My parents couldn’t afford to send seven children to Islamic school …” The ultimate no-return-on-investment education.
For someone who entered an arranged Muslim marriage at 17 and still supports Islam’s views on women – in complete contradiction to feminist values – it is surprising that Sarsour is allowed in the women’s movement let alone its leadership.
One can only surmise that Sarsour saw a young, weak, and failing leadership and realized an opportunity for notoriety and power by assuming it. She has dragged the movement into the anti-Semitism camp which can only be damaging to its image. One wonders how soon the other “leaders” will realize that they have been commandeered.

”I went to public school. My parents couldn’t afford to send seven children to Islamic school ”
Dear me. I take it ‘islamic school’ was so expensive her parents considered it was only worth sendiing her *brothers* there ? ; That is, if she *has* brothers- I wouldn’t know. So who went, hun ? Did anybody ?
So, Linda sweety, maybe the fact that you never went to ‘islamic school’ explains the fact that that you don’t know that your putrescent ‘prophet’ describes women as the majority population in hell, because of their stupidity ? Yes of course sweetheart, that exactly describes a ”human rights activist”. I can just never get over the moronic stupidity of these malevolent fools.

Robert Spencer: Linda Sarsour Says ‘My Beloved Prophet Muhammad Was a Human Rights Activist’
……………………..
This is only true if you consider oppressing, enslaving, and murdering unbelievers and raping women as “human rights”…
FYI says
Linda’s beloved “prophet” was a human rights activist?
Sure Linda…..
muhammed was also a champion athlete,was 10’2″ tall on his stilts and was the first man on the Moon{before he split in half}which he visited with his flying winged fantasy horse with a woman’s face and peacock tail,buraq.
It’s as true as buraq..
DHazard says
Salafist cockroaches all over the World have united to demand Linda Sarsour either change her last name or be banned from existence; “I can’t tell you how much it hurts to know that people are starting to think ALL sarsours believe in a caring Prophet (PHLOP). Muhammad (PHITS) and Allah (PHAHT) would NEVER care about human rights, other than a couple lapses, like with the inheritance thing”.
