Muslim ‘Women’s March’ Organizer Linda Sarsour Calls For Jihad Against The Trump Administration

communities, that Allah accepts us from us that as a form of jihad, that
we are struggling against tyrants and rulers, not only abroad in the
Middle East or on the other side of the world, but here, in these United
States of America, where you have fascists and white supremacists and
Islamophobes reigning in the White House."

Linda
Sarsour, a Palestinian-American anti-Israel activist who helped
organize the nationwide Women’s March the day after President Donald
Trump’s inauguration, called for “jihad,” or holy war, against the Trump administration last weekend.
EDITOR’S NOTE:Linda Sarsour, a Palestinian-America Muslim with terror ties to various
Islamic terror-funding groups, has decided to call for jihad against
President Trump and his entire administration. But don’t be alarmed, she
says it’s only a ‘jihad of words’. That ‘jihad of words’ included
calling our president a “fascist”, a “white supremacist” and an
“Islamophobe”. Her liberal, Democrat, pro-Hillary, anti-American
audience applauded as she tore down our president, our country and our
way of life. The ironic part is that our American freedom of speech
allows her to openly bash our government, something that if she were to
do in a Muslim country, she’d be imprisoned or put to death for.
Linda Sarsour was speaking in Chicago at the annual conference of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), a group that the Investigative Project on Terrorism notes was
an “unindicted co-conspirator” in a terror-funding prosecution, and was
allegedly “created by members of the Muslim Brotherhood” in the United
States in the early 1980s. (However, the group itself traces its origins to the formation of the Muslim Student Association in 1963.)
ISNA has been described as “the largest umbrella group of Muslims in North America.” President Barack Obama met with ISNA’s president in 2015, despite the group’s controversial views and alleged ties to radical movements.
Quoting the Prophet Muhammad, Sarsour said: “A word of truth in front of a tyrant ruler or leader, that is the best form of jihad.” She then added:
And I hope that we, when we stand up to those who oppress our communities, that Allah accepts us from us that as a form of jihad,The audience applauded.
that we are struggling against tyrants and rulers, not only abroad in
the Middle East or on the other side of the world, but here, in these
United States of America, where you have fascists and white supremacists
and Islamophobes reigning in the White House.

The context of Sarsour’s remarks indicate that she meant a jihad using
words. However, the term has also been used to describe violent
struggle, including terrorism, against non-Muslims or against
governments described as enemies.
In her speech, Sarsour also
spoke about the importance of Muslims supporting other “oppressed”
groups in the U.S. in their struggles — and talked about her experience
representing Palestinians in those movements. “I don’t have to choose do
I not be too Palestinian this day … I have been a living example of
what it means to be whole-heartedly all of me, in whatever space that I
am in,” she said.
She added: “I will not be in a space where any
group or any organization or any individual tells me that there’s a part
of my identity that is not welcomed,” a privilege not accorded to
liberal Jews or Zionists who march for the “oppressed,” as excluded Jewish lesbians recently found out (also in Chicago).
Sarsour
also urged those present to divert donations away from building mosques
and towards “investing in leadership, our next generation.” She said
donors within the community should split their donations between
assistance to Muslims abroad and support for local organizations — and
“not just building masaajid [mosques].”
She also urged them to donate to Dr. Abdul El-Sayed,
a Democrat who is running for governor in Michigan, and would be that
state’s first Muslim governor. She attacked “establishment Democrats”
who, she said, had blocked Muslims from succeeding within the Democratic
Party in the past, and said that El-Sayed would change that.
Sarsour concluded by warning ISNA not to stop being outraged, and not to “normalize” the Trump administration.
Update: New
York Assemblyman Dov Hikind, a Democrat who has often criticized
Sarsour in the past, warned in a statement Thursday that Sarsour’s words
should be taken “very seriously”: “Words matter. Attacks on the police,
like the one New York suffered yesterday, are precipitated by violent
slogans. Sarsour is very dangerous.” source
