Linda Sarsour Asks Muslims To Form "Jihad" Against Trump, Not To Assimilate

Non-Muslims certainly need to know far more about Muhammed and his very effective strategic plan for dealing with non-Muslims.
All Muslims are thoroughly familiar with the details of Muhammed's life - his way of life. After all, knowledge is power.
But, OTH, ignorance is bliss - so ...

 

Perhaps a little visit by the FBI is in order...

 

I think there is enough evidence to lock her up a bit for calling upon terrorism. Hate speech, terrorism and so on...It's high time someone made example of those fanatics so others think twice before they do something stupid. Learn from our European failure, do not appease them. Nip them in the bud.

 

Anyone involved in a scheme to overthrow the elected USG is a felon.
Any American doing that is a traitor.

 

I don't think I need to read anything more at this point, 16 years after 9/11, to get the idea that their goal is either conversion or head chop. That's all I need to know. I don't need to argue theology with these guys.

 

The dominant themes of Islam are political and military not religious. Islam is almost all about military and political tactics and strategy. All Muslims know all the details.

Nevertheless, non-Muslims who have to interact with Muslims never both to read even the biography of Muhammed which is a detailed account of the model all Muslim's embrace as an ideal to be followed.

Hence this dangerous nonsense from our bipartisan ruling political class: "Islam is the religion of peace".

 

The primary definition in each reference you show is "holy war against unbelievers". That is also the definition used by radical Islamic terrorists.

It doesn't matter what context she is using the term in. It's what is called a "dog whistle", the thing that the left always accuses the right of using.

She needs to stop using the term altogether in *any* context.

 

What arrogance! You do not get to tell Muslim American speakers which words of THEIRS respecting their faith, and which meanings of those words are verbotim in this country , because Islamophobics like you , have decided you prefer the most inflammatory possible interpretation of everything they say. She was addressing other muslims in an audience here in the States and I doubt they had any trouble understanding which meaning she was using. You wanted to hear a dog whistle but that does not mean she blew into one.

 

Using the the word jihad is not the real problem the problem is the determined ignorance of its full meaning on the part of non-Muslims

 

Arrogance? You mean the left gets to tell me what terms I can use but I am arrogant for returning the favor?

The left is now saying that Trump's speech in Poland was full of dog whistles for white nationalists and only for white Americans.

Trump used terms like freedom, western civilization, and symphonies. Since when did *those* become dog whistles for racists and become taboo?

None of those carry as evil of an association as the term "jihad".

And I doubt radical Islamic terrorists in the US had any problem understanding what she was saying them!

You are a typical leftist. You want to tell people what they can do, how they must think, and how they must act. But when someone points out that you are doing the exact same things you get all upset and have a hissy fit!

Oh, she blew the dog whistle and she blew it LOUDLY!

Muslim Author: Activist Who Called For 'Jihad' Against Trump Is Using 'Muslim Brotherhood Playbook'

Jul 09, 2017 // 1:07pm
Dr. Qanta Ahmed said that progressive Muslim activist Linda Sarsour's call for a "jihad" against the Trump administration is a play from the "Muslim Brotherhood playbook."

"This is classic Islamist tactics right out of the Muslim Brotherhood playbook," the author and physician said.


Sarsour, a leader of January's Women’s March in Washington, D.C., was named a “Champion of Change” by the Obama administration in 2012. Known for her strong language against the current White House, she appeared at the Islamic Society of North America's annual convention and appeared to call for a "jihad" against Trump.

“I hope, that when we stand up to those who oppress our communities, that Allah accepts from us that as a form of jihad, that we are struggling against tyrants and rulers not only abroad in the Middle East or the other side of the world, but here in these United States of America, where you have fascists and white supremacists and Islamophobes reining in the White House,” Sarsour told her Muslim-majority audience.

Alt-right who relies on google for translation is trying to instill fear in the hearts of Muslims. We will be unapologetic about who we are.

"In this climate, 'jihad' could be construed by a fanatic as a call to arms to act against our president," Ahmed warned.

Liberals' claim that Sarsour's right to discuss Islam as a religion is being denigrated is false, the Muslim British author said.

"We are called by the Koran to join and unite society, not fragment it," and Sarsour is denying Muslims this duty, she observed.

The Muslim Brotherhood wants Muslims to feel "vicitmized" and "persecuted," and Sarsour, a "political totalitarian ideologue" is promoting just that, the author concluded.

Islamophobes are attacking me because I’m their worst nightmare

By Linda Sarsour July 9 at 3:15 PM
Linda Sarsour is an activist and a co-chair of the Women’s March on Washington.


National co-chair of march: 'Unapologetically Muslim-American'
Linda Sarsour, a national co-chair of the Women's March on Washington told the crowds she stood before them as an "unapologetically Muslim-American." (The Washington Post)
This week, conservative media outlets took a speech I gave to the largest gathering of Muslims in America out of context and alleged that I had called for a violent “jihad” against the president. I did not. Sadly, this is not a new experience for me. Since the Women’s March on Washington, which I had the privilege of co-chairing with inspirational women from across the country, my family and I have received countless threats of physical violence. These ugly threats come from people who also spout anti-Muslim, xenophobic and white-supremacist beliefs. Their sole agenda is to silence and discredit me because I am an effective leader for progress, a Palestinian American and Brooklyn-born Muslim woman. In short, I am their worst nightmare.

I began my work as director of the Arab American Association of New York in the wake of the horrific attacks of 9/11. As crisis after crisis struck Arab and Muslim communities, from the backlash to the “Ground Zero mosque” to the anti-Muslim hearings held by Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) to the rampant surveillance of New York City’s Muslim communities, I became more vocal about Islamophobia’s terrible impact on my community, city and country. Because of that, I become a target of the Islamophobia industry, a well-funded group of organizations and spokesmen who fuel anti-Muslim sentiment through misleading narratives, propaganda, local policies and the vilification of Muslim activists and public figures.


But the post-9/11 environment did not prepare me for the onslaught of vitriol that has come my way since January. First came a campaign to remove me as the commencement speaker at City University of New York’s School of Public Health and Health Policy. With hired security at my side, I gave a speech that focused on the rise of hate crimes and xenophobia and the importance of choosing to never be bystanders in the face of injustice. I honored Ricky John Best, Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche and Micah Fletcher, who saved two young African American women, one of them Muslim, in Portland when they were attacked by a white supremacist. Both Best and Namkai-Meche lost their lives that day.

Now comes the malicious twisting of the speech I gave at the Islamic Society of North America’s 54th annual convention.

In my speech — you can watch the unedited version here — I sent not a call to violence, but a call to speak truth to power and to commit to the struggle for racial and economic justice. I was speaking to an all-Muslim audience; as an American, I should be free to share and discuss scripture and teachings of my beloved Prophet. My statements were clear, and my activism track record is even clearer: My work has always been rooted in nonviolence as espoused by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Most disturbing about this recent defamation campaign is how it is focused on demonizing the legitimate yet widely misunderstood Islamic term I used, “jihad,” which to majority of Muslims and according to religious scholars means “struggle” or “to strive for.” This term has been hijacked by Muslim extremists and right-wing extremists alike, leaving ordinary Muslims to defend our faith and in some cases silenced. It sets a dangerous precedent when people of faith are policed and when practicing their religion peacefully comes with consequences.


Nevertheless, the attacks from xenophobes and the conservative media have continued. It saddens me deeply that my three children are frightened. It angers me that I have to think about securing my physical safety even while walking through the neighborhoods of Brooklyn.

Every day, I speak about women’s issues, indigenous rights, the necessity to fight for black lives and against the Muslim and refugee bans. I believe wholeheartedly that we must fight injustice and inequality — through marches and direct actions, through policy changes, and through our own voices permeating media spaces. My views are not unique or special, and many activists around the country express them as well. The reasons I am subjected to such particularly public vitriol are simple: I am a Palestinian American woman in a hijab who has become a familiar presence and name in American living rooms when it comes to nonviolent resistance and activism. Indeed, those targeting me have an even broader agenda: to silence and discredit racial-justice activists altogether because we are awakening the masses.

But I refuse to be intimidated. I will not walk away from the people and communities whom I love deeply. I will to continue to raise my voice for justice and equality for all, organize communities who want to defend the rights of black people, stand against policies that target and marginalize Muslims, and advocate for health care for all people. Dissent is the highest form of patriotism, and I intend to continue to push my country to respect the rights of all its citizens. I will not be silenced.

Linda Sarsour’s Call For ‘Jihad’ Against President Trump Is A Call For Treason
Islamic activist Linda Sarsour’s recent comments can leave a person with the impression that she is inciting sedition from Muslims in America.
Luma Simms By Luma Simms
JULY 10, 2017
Islamic activist Linda Sarsour, co-chair of the 2017 women’s march, says she is “outraged” every single morning when she wakes up and remembers who is in the White House, referring to the president of the United States, Donald Trump. Speaking to the Islamic Society of North America, she recently made several astonishing statements, the totality of which can leave a person with the impression that Sarsour is inciting sedition from Muslims in America.

Time magazine came to her defense, accusing conservatives of misquoting her and making too much out of her speech. Sorry, Time, I’m not buying your excuses. I am a Christian immigrant from Iraq. We know what Muslim agitation and radicalization looks like and where it leads. Sarsour knew full well how what she said would affect the particular community she was speaking to. This was no women’s march, this is a talk to the Muslim community, in which she chastises those who would accept our government peacefully.

Sarsour has likened herself to Martin Luther King Jr., but she has used demagoguery—you can watch the entire speech as an example—in her “activism,” and has split the Jewish community because of her support of the boycott, divest, sanctions against Israel movement and her anti-Semitic stances.

Three Tactics to Incite Muslim Americans
What Sarsour said, whom she spoke to to, and how she spoke should alert us to the three tactics radicalizers like Sarsour want to use to incite the Muslim community. One, keeping Muslim communities isolated and unassimilated: “Our number one and top priority is to protect and defend our community, it is not to assimilate and please any other people and authority” (emphasis mine).

Two, by stoking outrage within the Muslim community, and using the progressive Left’s rhetoric: “We are struggling against tyrants and rulers…here in these United States of America where you have fascists and white supremacists and Islamophobes reigning in the White House… We as a Muslim community in these Unites States of America have to be perpetually outraged” (emphasis mine).

Third, alluding to the garden-variety terrorist acts that we have witnessed around the world: “Our top priority and even higher than all those other priorities is to please Allah and only Allah” (emphasis mine). This tactic may not be as obvious to Western viewers, but if you are a faithful Muslim who is being chastised for assimilating, then told:

Dissent is the highest form of patriotism…If you, as a Muslim, are standing on the sidelines, if you are neutral in the face of oppression in this country, you are not a patriot… When we stand up to those who oppress our communities, that Allah accepts from us that as a form of jihad… We have to stay united, we have to stay organizing, we have to stay outraged.
Then if you are reminded that your highest priority is to please Allah, it is easy to see how someone can walk away from that message radicalized and believe that to please Allah he or she must account out in violence against the “fascists and white supremacists and Islamophobes reigning in the White House.”

Underlying this entire speech is a fundamental assumption: The American government is oppressive and it is our duty to resist and fight against it. Anyone inside and outside the Muslim community who assimilates, who sides with American government, is an oppressor and should be resisted. This is warfare mentality; it is agitation and incitement. But will the Muslim community heed Sarsour?

More About Sarsour’s American Muslim Audience
According to the Pew Research Center’s best estimates, as of 2015 there were 3.3 million Muslims in the United States. That is the total for all ages. This is roughly 1 percent of the population of the United States. Pew projects that Muslims will increase to 2.1 percent of the American population by the year 2050. They also found that 63 percent of Muslims were immigrants.

In a 2011 survey, 69 percent said religion is important in their lives, 48 percent said men and women should be separated when praying at a mosque, 70 percent lean toward the Democratic Party, and 48 percent believe their leaders do not speak out enough against Islamic extremists. Of foreign-born Muslims, 58 percent said Americans were friendly, but only 30 percent of Muslims born in America said American people are friendly toward Muslim Americans.

From that same survey, 68 percent said they wanted a bigger government and more services. Out of 1,033 Muslim Americans, Pew found that 5 percent have a somewhat favorable view of al-Qaeda. Of those surveyed, 20 percent said Muslim Americans want to be distinct from the larger American society, and 56 percent of those surveyed said Muslim Americans wanted to assimilate.

Muslim Americans seem likely to be financially secure. In that same 2011 survey by Pew, 74 percent said hard work leads to success, and 46 percent said they were in excellent or good financial condition. The survey also showed that American Muslims were just as likely as other Americans to have a $100,000 or more annual household income. Finally, 49 percent of those surveyed said they would identify as Muslim first. Pew even took the time to ask questions about recycling, using Facebook, watching television, and playing video games, but what I didn’t see are questions about how American Muslims view the rule of law and equality under the law.

 

Excerpts:

 

Where are the Jihadis to throw rocks at a woman's head when you want them?

 

Trump needs to send these jihadi freaks back to islamabad.

 

Hate mongers like her think they are on a crusade.
(pun intended)

 

The left made a mistake in painting Sarsour as some kind of model Muslim-American citizen.

There are plenty of them. She's not one.

 

Prior to the 2016 election, I did business with at least one hundred people from the MIddle East. Not one was anything like this publicity whore.

They love being in the US primarily because there is opportunity--something which does not exist in their home countries. They want to forget about the turmoil they left behind and get into the swim of America (work, home, cars, family, vacations....). None of them would consider going back.

I have had no problems doing business with them. I have for years.

They also have no qualms about doing business with their jewish neighbors.

So why does anyone take this big mouth seriously?

 

She's a leftist in muslim clothing.

 

The obstructionist judges wont allow Trump to uphold the oath of President and defend the Constitution and America's culture, traditions, customs, language.

 

A Palestinian American Muslim woman born in Brooklyn who's as outspoken as any American in history.

I suppose the little white proud boys are duty bound to hate her.

 

The obstructionists are about to find out who they work for.

There is only one cure to obstructive shock-remove the obstruction.

 

A jihadi marxist vs those who recognize the superiority of the west.

Lets see how it turns out comrade.

 

Keyboard warrior reframing in order to shut down a particular American's clearly justified right to speak her truth is just the best laugh.

Not for this 'otherised' American woman the defence so readily accorded neatly dressed white boys, the fight to the near death for the right to speak out even if it's diametrically opposed to thier own views.
