"Do not criticize me when I say that we as a Muslim community in these United States of America have to be perpetually outraged."
"In a largely self-congratulatory speech to the Annual Islamic Society of North American (ISNA) this past weekend, Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour called for the "best form" of jihad against the current American administration.
"A word of truth in front of a tyrant ruler or leader, that is the best form of jihad," Sarsour declared. "And I hope that we, 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 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."
Sarsour has been a prominent face among left-wing activists, in particular since the election of US President Donald Trump. She was one of the organizers of the January “Women’s March on Washington” held the day after Trump’s inauguration.
But she has come under fire for many of her stances and comments, including her support of the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against Israel. She has said “Nothing is creepier than Zionism,” that Zionism and feminism are incompatible, and has warmly embraced Rasmea Odeh, a convicted terrorist involved in a 1969 bombing that killed two students.
In her speech to ISNA, Sarsour said that since Islamophobes do not stop to ask Muslims in the street about their political or religious persuasions before attacking, since Islamophobes do not distinguish between different types of Muslims, so the American Muslim community must band together united. She also said that since the Muslim community is heavily outnumbered in the US, they must ally themselves with other minorities if they hope to have any agency on a national scale.
"Why are we so afraid of this administration and the potential chaos that they will ensue upon our community?" she asked. "And we already saw their potential when they come out every few weeks - Muslim ban 1, Muslim ban 2, Muslim ban 3... they are relentless, they are persistent, and consistent, and want to see how much we as a community can endure, and want to see who our friends are, and how hard we're going to fight back against this administration."
She called on the Muslim community to organize around building itself up from every angle, but scolded them against wandering outside of their comfort zones. "We gotta stay in our lanes. If you are not a communications specialist, then you are not to be advising our community on how to communicate with the rest of the public."
"We have to stay outraged," she insisted to applause. "Do not criticize me when I say that we as a Muslim community in these United States of America have to be perpetually outraged every single... when I wake up in the morning, and I remember who's sitting in the White House, I am outraged. This is not normal, Sisters and Brothers. Those people sitting in the most powerful seats in this country is not normal. So, do not ever be those citizens that normalize this administration, because when they day comes that something horrific happens to us or to another community, you will be responsible for normalizing this situation."

Only Trump can reverse this if at all possible.
It seems the act of getting that done is way too late.
I think if her view of the current President is outrage...and action she takes stems from that outrage, she is just creating a vicious circle of hate.
It is like the alcoholic drinking because they are depressed.....and their depression is fueled by alcohol.
If she truly feels that way, perhaps a more productive means of addressing the issue should be called for.
But...when extremist religious values are involved, is there a rational way of dealing with issues?
Advocating jihad against our govt......IS TREASON! She should be punished by our govt. Then she should be deported!
This is a prime example of how we, the people have lost track of what is right and legal when it comes to a pure practice of freedom of speech to a very vile act of incite and rebellion.
Imagine for him to call our president a TYRANT, is an absolute blunder and politically cognizant to treason. He, was elected by us, the legitimate voters which by the process represent the majority. She is not only classifying herself to be in opposition of that majority but a radical call to overthrow our government.
It is very sad that for political correctness which the communist leftist has been so known for is going this far to influence the total population of the country. Not me.
She should be tried for political treason.
Our future is bleak and worse it's very fast in becoming one if not already.
Infiltration at its best is what I see.
I am sure they are going to lynch each other considering how polarized their views in almost about anything.
That part where Hamas proclaim it's principles of being against peaceful resolutions alone calls for a very bloody annihilation of its enemies. Us. That's almost to say our death is their victory, nothing else.
And that's where we differ. Here we are from the west trying to resolve these conflicts peacefully but here they are, completely oppose to our way of solving it. Why even bother having a debate. They settle only for one thing, and that's A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.

Scary and almost unthinkable to save our country if they keep multiplying.
"Is That America"
"Is Remaining Blind To A Gauranteed Fact"
"That There Are...At The Least.......72 Jihadist Sleeper Cells.... In The USA"
"Just Awaiting That Order.................. To Strike"
"Even Then..Its Gonna Take... A Lot More Of These Sleeper Cells.... Being Actvated"
"Before The Danger.... And Reality"
"Is Finally....Accepted.... Recognized...... And Dealt With"..........................

Very stupid Nam, and all these liberals are blind.
