This blog contains excerpts from Pamela Geller’s imperative article about linda sarsour, the USA-hating, shari’a law-loving icon of left wing feminists.
Yes, that obvious contradiction in terms is accurate. She is a shari’a law-loving icon to left wing feminists – who are either too stupid, too hate-filled or both, to recognize the impossibility of feminism and shari’a law co-existing.
Here, as reported by Ms. Geller, is what sarsour had to say to the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) this past weekend:
Sarsour began the speech thanking her “favorite person in this room … Imam Siraj Wahhaj, who has been a mentor, motivator, and encourager of mine.” She does not mention that Wahhaj was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombings.
“Why sisters and brothers, why are we so unprepared. Why are we so afraid of this administration and the potential chaos that they will ensue on our community?” she said.
Then, in a particularly vague, yet terrifying, segment of her speech, Sarsour said, “I hope, that when we stand up to those who oppress our communities, that Allah accepts from us that as a form of jihad.”
“We are struggling against tyrants and rulers not only abroad … but here in the United States of America, where you have fascists and white supremacists and Islamophobes reigning in the White House,” she continued.
“When I wake up in the morning, and I remember who is sitting in the White House, I am outraged,” Sarsour exclaimed. “This is not normal, sisters and brothers. Those people sitting in the most powerful seats in this country, is not normal.”
She continued, calling upon Muslims to refuse to assimilate into America.
“Our number one and top priority is to protect and defend our community. It is not to assimilate and to please any other people in authority,” she said. “And our top priority … is to please Allah, and only Allah.”
Any feminist who would like to explain how she can reconcile her beliefs with what you just read is welcome to try. I’ll wait for any response, and put it up verbatim if I get one.
I’m not counting on that happening.
The enemy of my enemy???
