Dear Mr. Weberman:
I am an attorney with the law firm of
Jenner & Block LLP. We represent Linda
Sarsour. It has come to my client’s attention
that you have made available for sale a
book entitled “A Jihad Grows in Brooklyn”
(the “Book”). You have represented to
consumers and the public more generally
that the Book contains the first-person
“confessions” of my client, and have
represented that my client is the author of
the Book. However, as you are no doubt
aware, my client had absolutely no
involvement with the drafting, publication,
or distribution of the Book, and, critically,
she did not authorize its publication or
approve its defamatory contents, which are
7. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
designed to harm her and her family’s
reputation.
Your publication and distribution of
the Book violates numerous state and
federal laws.
First, your conduct violates Section 43
of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1051. In
particular, your representation that my
client is the author of the Book constitutes
unlawful “passing off,” Waldman Pub.
Corp. v. Landoll, Inc., 43 F.3d 775, 780 (2d
Cir. 1994), as well as product infringement,
see, e. g., Sun Trading Distributing Co. v.
Evidence Music, 1nc., 980 F. Supp. 722,
727 (S.D.N.Y. 1997).
Second, your conduct constitutes libel,
as the Book is replete with false and
defamatory statements about my client. In
fact, the vast majority of the contents of
Book constitute, by definition, false
statements, as they are held out to be
statements by Ms. Sarsour when they are
not. In addition, many of the statements,
likely to be perceived to be the first-person
utterances of my client, cause her serious
and irreparable harm. For example, on page
8. LINDA SARSOUR
41 of the Book, you write the following
statement, purporting to come directly from
Ms. Sarsour: “The Jews are a sick race: The
Jewish pond scum in the Jewish Voice for
Peace want to kill Jews, dirty Zionist Jews,
but don’t have the guts to pull the trigger or
plant the bomb or put on the vest.” On page
68, you state, again in the voice of Ms.
Sarsour, that Muslims can get “prepared by
obtaining assault rifles, bumpstocks and the
like.” Further, on page 20, you state that
Ms. Sarsour “took over” the Arab-
American Association of New York “and
turned it into a Hamas front,” and on page
28, you state that Ms. Sarsour “served as a
counter-intelligence consultant to would be
jihadists[.]” My client never made such
inflammatory statements, and these
statements are per se defamatory. In fact,
and as you are surely aware, my client is a
prominent social justice activist who
regularly speaks out against all forms of
discrimination or violence, especially when
directed at individuals byreason of their
religion, race, gender, or sexual orientation.
Third, you have violated Article 5 of
New York Civil Rights Law, which
prohibits “the appropriation of a plaintiffs
name or likeness for a defendant’s benefit
9. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
without the plaintiffs consent.” Farrow v.
Allstate Ins. Co. 862 N.Y.S. 2d 92, 93
(App. Div. 2008). Representing that my
client has authored the Book and
mischaracterizing the Book as a firsthand
account by my client clearly runs afoul of
this law. In addition to these
misrepresentations, your use of my client’s
name and likeness without her consent give
rise to a further violation of this statute.
See, e. g., Onassis v. Christian Dior-New
York, Inc., 472 N.Y.S.2d 254, 262 (Sup. Ct.
N.Y. Cnty. 1984) (holding that the statute
prohibits “trading on the name or features
of another and the unwarranted commercial
exploitation of a person who has not
consented to be commercially exploited”).
Fourth, your conduct is a clear
violation of New York General Business
Law, Section 349, which provides broad
protection against deceptive business
practices. See Gaidon v. Guardian Life Ins.
Co. of America, 725 N.E.2d 598, 603 (N.Y.
1999). It is willfully and materially
misleading and has caused my client injury
in the form of reputational harm, and has
deceived consumers more broadly and
betrayed the public trust.
10. LINDA SARSOUR
Pursuant to the foregoing statutes and
common law claims, my client is entitled to
injunctive relief and damages as a result of
your publication and distribution of the
Book. My client hereby demands that you
immediately cease and desist any and all
distribution of the Book and ensure that it is
removed from any retailers, including but
not limited to Amazon.com. Further, my
client demands that you effectuate the
removal of the Book’s title and contents
from any other online or retail services,
including but not limited to goodreads.com.
Finally, my client demands that you
destroy or quarantine all copies of the Book
so that the Book is never distributed in the
future.
Please contact me by no later than
December 18, 2017, with written
confirmation that you have complied with
the demands set forth in this letter. If I have
not heard from you by then, I will assume
that you are not interested in an amicable
resolution and will advise my client to
consider taking any necessary and
appropriate actions to protect her legal
rights. This letter is without any waiver of,
11. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
or prejudice to, Ms. Sarsour’s rights,
claims, remedies, or demands, all of which
are hereby expressly reserved. Sincerely
Katya Jestin

AL-BIREH, PALESTINE
I was born in Brooklyn, New York, on
March 19, 1980, oldest of seven children of
Palestinian immigrants. My parents weren’t
part of the ethnic cleansing of 1948, the
Nakba, but lived in the Palestinian city of
12. LINDA SARSOUR
Al-Bireh and were merchants. They came
to the United States because they hated the
occupation, not because they were
displaced. My parents made the first pillar
of what I call Silent Jihad, IMMIGRATE.
With seven children my parents also
observed the second pillar of Silent Jihad,
POPULATE. Silent Jihad might be a new
concept for you to understand so let me fill
the reader in:
Silent Jihad groups don’t operate
underground. We have offices, spokesmen,
PR people, legal teams, and impressive
websites. We present ourselves as moderate
mainstream groups, and for the most part
the media and administration officials buy
this hogwash. We advertise ourselves as
civil rights advocates working to protect the
rights of the “Muslim community.” Using
the cover of civil rights activism, we have
been able to score some spectacular
successes. In 2012, for example, more than
1,000 documents and presentations were
purged from counter-terror training
programs for the FBI and other security
agencies.
13. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
This was done in response to pressure
from Islamic advocacy groups who
complained that the training policies were
biased and offensive to Muslims. We had
been given veto power over national
security policy, and, as a result,
investigative agencies were forced to limit
themselves to politically correct policing,
making it easier for jihadists to carry out
their raids in the United States.
I was raised in Sunset Park,
Brooklyn, and attended P.S. 169, Pershing
Intermediate School, and John Jay High
School in Park Slope, an ultra liberal
Jewish neighborhood. Your book bag went
through a metal detector, you went through
a detector like in airports, and you still got
put up against the wall, and a guard frisked
you. They would make you open your
mouth and put up your tongue because they
said kids had blades or drugs. In retrospect,
John Jay was a school-to-prison pipeline
due to kafirs being bused into a Jewish area.
I wanted to go to Midwood HS,
predominately Jewish, but it would have
been a long commute. I thought maybe this
is how the world is without the Shar’ia.
14. LINDA SARSOUR
As part of my cover I made it seem I
came from a non-religious family in order
to make liberals and leftists believe that I
reverted to Islam on my own volition. It’s
true that there was a time in my life where I
violated many of the precepts of Islam,
such as not wearing the Hijab.
15. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
The story about my father started to
fall apart after he arranged a marriage for
me at the age of 17. I had three children by
my mid-twenties and my first child at 19.
My son, Tamir, is 16 while two daughters
namely Sabreen and Sajida, are 14 and 11. I
also fulfilled the second Pillar of Silent
Jihad, POPULATE.
My husband is from Al-Bireh and is
a distant cousin. His name is Maher Judeh
AKA Maher Abo Tamer.
16. LINDA SARSOUR
Tamer, was a member of a militant
Hamas cell in the West Bank,who did not
come to the attention of the occupiers.
Hubby mourned the 1998 death of the
Hamas shaheeds (martyrs) Adel and Imad
Awadallah; praised the late Palestinian
Authority police officer Amjad Sukkari,
who in January 2016 had carried out a
shooting attack at a checkpoint in Israel, as
another shaheed; has expressed support for
Al-Fatah; and has lauded the founder of the
Popular Front for the Liberation of
17. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
Palestine, George Habash. Tamer works as
a cashier at a Halal deli / convenience store
in Brooklyn. I am very proud of my
husband as I am of my cousins. I spoke
freely about them to the press knowing that
the liberal media wouldn’t hold me
responsible for their actions. This article
about me came out in November 2004:
JOHN KERRY DREW DISENCHANTED
ARABS IN BAY RIDGE
By Sarmad S. Ali1
As the presidential election grew
near, Linda Sarsour sat in her small
office at the Arab-American
Association in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn,
looking at the photos of two thickly
bearded young Arabs on the front
page of an Arabic-language
newspaper. The paper carried fervent
slogans calling on young people to
become martyrs in the conflict with
Israel. Sarsour, 24, Palestinian-
American, sighed. One of the men,
she said, was a cousin who has been
in Israeli jails for 25 years. The other
man, she said, was a family friend
18. LINDA SARSOUR
serving a 99-year prison sentence in
Israel. Her brother-in-law, she said,
is also serving a 12-year sentence,
accused of being an activist in the
Hamas, the religious militant group,
though, she said, he was secular in his
beliefs.
My “secular cousin,” what a laugh,
was not framed by the Shin Bet but was a
Palestinian Patriot. I protected their
mujahedeen identities and exchanged the
family friend for my cousin, as it is my
cousin who is serving life.

Here are articles about my cousin Salem
Rajab al-Sarsour from my scrap book:
GRENADES WOUND 67 IN ISRAELI
BUS STATION
By Deborah Sontag
New York Times Oct. 20, 1998
As the peace talks in Maryland
entered their fifth day, a grenade attack
on a busy bus terminal in this modern
desert town today left 67 people
wounded, one gravely, and cast a
shadow over the fragile negotiations. It
began when a Palestinian man ran wildly
through the bustling station during the
morning rush hour, drawing notice just
as he hurled a grenade at a shelter filled
with young soldiers. The soldiers heard a
hissing sound and leaped to their feet
screaming, before the explosion chased
and knocked them down. There was a
silence, followed by the boom of a
second grenade as the soldiers, nose to
the asphalt, realized that they were the
victims of a terrorist attack. Then the
incident ended as sloppily as it began
when the attacker ran into a stopped bus
20. LINDA SARSOUR
whose driver pummeled him and held
him for the police. By Middle Eastern
standards, it was an unsophisticated
attack, although it could not have been
better timed to disrupt the peace talks.
No group claimed responsibility. Sheik
Ahmed Yassin, the leader of the militant
Islamic organization Hamas, said he did
not know if his group was responsible,
since, he said, its political and military
wings are separate. But he endorsed the
attack in spirit. ''The occupation exists,
the resistance continues and this is a link
in a chain,'' he said.
About a third of the wounded were
uniformed soldiers and military students
on their way back to a nearby army base
and school after a weekend break. Like
the civilians, commuters and bus station
employees, most suffered superficial but
painful shrapnel wounds. At noontime
they lay surrounded by flowers, relatives
and army buddies at the Soroka Hospital
here, many with cellular phones tucked
by their sides. All wore tags with their
victim numbers, which had been chalked
into the asphalt at the bus station,
marking where they had fallen.
21. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
Tamar Glustron and Shelly Bental,
both 19, friends and military police
officers, had been chatting about clothes
when they first noticed the man and
heard the sibilant sound as he pulled his
grenade key. Later that morning,
stunned, they rested side by side in
hospital beds, pierced by shrapnel.
Plastered with bandages, they
whimpered with pain and tried to put on
brave faces after a visit from President
Ezer Weizman. ''I remember,'' Ms.
Glustron said, ''pulling myself to my feet
and thinking: 'No way. He wanted to kill
me. He wanted to kill all of us.' What
for? It's for nothing that I was hurt. They
feel so helpless they know only to talk
with violence. It's very sad.'' Her mother,
Hannah, sat at the bedside, squeezing her
daughter's hand.
''The peace process should be
accelerated so these things don't happen
again,'' she said. At the hospital, Dr.
Naftali Meidan, the deputy director, said
two patients, a 14-year-old boy and a 17-
year-old girl, were in serious condition
after shrapnel penetrated their abdomens
and chests. A 47-year-old man was listed
22. LINDA SARSOUR
in critical condition after undergoing
hours of surgery. The police said the
Palestinian, a West Bank resident, had
confessed to the attack. At a roadblock
near Hebron, they later arrested four
other young Palestinian men driving an
Audi, whom they suspected of being his
accomplices. An Israeli radio report said
the attacker lived in Dahariya, a southern
West Bank town under Israeli security
control. But Palestinian security officials
have identified him as Salem Rajab al-
Sarsour, 29, a construction worker and
father of five from the Palestinian side of
Hebron, Reuters reported.
His wife, in traditional Islamic dress
and sitting beneath a poster of Sheik
Yassin, said she would give praise to
God if her husband turned out to be the
assailant: ''a fighter for the sake of God,''
Reuters said. Mordechai Nachmani, the
police commander of the Negev region,
said, ''The person we are holding has
told us that those who put him up to it
suggested this location as a target.''
Speaking on Israeli radio, the bus driver
said, ''He ran into the bus and fell.'' The
driver, Avner Yaakov, continued: ''I fell
23. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
on him. I gave him a few good wallops,
and within seconds civil defense police
had him in handcuffs.'' Beersheba, a
quiet, economically depressed town
where Israeli-born Jews, Israeli Arabs,
Russian immigrants and Bedouins
coexist, has been immune from serious
terrorist attacks until now, even though it
lies just south of the West Bank. The
usual frenzy that follows such attacks
was absent. There were few protesters,
and none shouting, ''Death to the Arabs.''
A couple of hours after the attack, as
workers scrubbed blood and flesh off the
sidewalk, normal business resumed at
the bus station. ''We cannot function in
fear,'' said Eli Cohen, 38, a bus driver. ''I
do take precautions, like looking at each
passenger. If I see someone who looks
suspicious, who looks Arab or is
carrying a bag, I can stop and ask him
for an ID, or take the bus right over to
the police station.'' People even awaited
their buses in the remains of the shelter
that had been blown nearly to bits. One,
Sarah Waltner, a Holocaust survivor
with numbers tattooed on her forearm,
perched on the edge of a ragged chair
that had lost its back.

BEERSHEBA SUSPECT CONFESSES
TO OTHER TERRORIST ATTACKS,
ISRAELI ARMY AIDES SAY
By Deborah Sontag Oct. 21, 1998
The Palestinian arrested in the
grenade assault on Monday that
wounded 67 Israelis, including 24
soldiers, has confessed to several recent
terrorist incidents, Israeli Army officials
said today. The suspect, Salem Rajab
al-Sarsour, 29, an Islamic militant,
admitted the assault on the Beersheba
bus terminal, a similar grenade attack
late last month on an army post in
Hebron, and the fatal stabbing of an
elderly rabbi, also in Hebron, in late
August, the Israeli officials said. Mr.
Sarsour described the attack on the bus
station, which disrupted the Israeli-
Palestinian peace talks in Maryland and
became the subject of international
attention, as an impulsive act born of
frustration, the officials said. The
grenades were intended for a terrorist
attack in Jerusalem, the Israeli officials
said. But Mr. Sarsour, who had traveled
to Beersheba to seek construction work,
25. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
was so frustrated by his failed search
that he hurled the grenades at the
terminal, where he was to have caught a
bus home. He was captured and
pummeled by a bus driver, who turned
him over to the police. The Israeli
officials said Mr. Sarsour, a father of
five who lives in the Palestinian-
controlled sector of Hebron, has been
active for years in Hamas, the Islamic
fundamentalist group.
The armed wing of Hamas claimed
responsibility for the attack today. In a
fax to Reuters in Jerusalem, the group,
the Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigade, said,
''One of our heroic fighters carried out a
heroic operation on Monday morning in
the town of Beersheba which targeted a
crowd of enemy soldiers.'' But a senior
Palestinian security official, Jibril
Rajoub, said Sarsour had committed ''an
individual act.'' Rajoub said the bombing
should not reflect negatively on the
Palestinians' commitment to cracking
down on terrorists. The Israelis say that
is the deal-breaking issue in the peace
talks. In Beersheba, officials said, Mr.
Sarsour lobbed two grenades at the
26. LINDA SARSOUR
terminal during the morning rush hour,
wounding the soldiers, who were
returning to their base, and 43 civilians.
One victim, 47, was gravely wounded
and remained in critical condition today.
Four others were in serious condition,
and 20 remained hospitalized for
superficial shrapnel wounds. In late
August, in another act that officials said
had not been planned, Mr. Sarsour killed
the rabbi, Shlomo Raanan, 67, in the Tel
Rumeida settlement.
Zionist Rabbi Shlomo Ra’anan
Israel Behind the News described my
cousin’s heroic action in vivid detail:
27. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
On August 20th, 1998, Rabbi
Shlomo Ra’anan was murdered. Rabbi
Shlomo, 66, and his wife Rebbetzin
Chaya, 59, were one of the seven
families living in the Tel Romeida,
Jewish neighborhood in the heart of
Hebron. In the seventeen years of its
existence, permission had been
steadfastly been turned down by the
Israeli government to expand the
neighborhood beyond the initial seven
trailers.
Screams of terror and pain pierced
the silent Hebron night. The screams
were coming from the bedroom where
Rabbi Shlomo Ra’anan, was preparing to
retire for the night. Chaya Ra’anan, who
was in the dining room, barely
recognized the sound of her husband’s
voice, whom in their thirty-five years of
marriage, had never been heard to raise
his voice. Seconds later, the rabbi,
covered in blood, staggered out of the
bedroom, while the terrorist, who held a
long and bloody butcher knife in one
hand, tried with the other hand to drag
him back into the bedroom. Stunned,
28. LINDA SARSOUR
Chaya screamed while she instinctively
tried to pull her husband out of the
terrorist’s grasp. A tug-of-war ensued
until finally the terrorist let go, not
before hurdling the butcher knife at the
mortally wounded rabbi and setting the
trailer on fire. It was too late to save her
husband. Chaya, being a nurse, knew
from the gaping wound in her husband’s
main artery that his condition was fatal.
Seeing the flames around her it was now
up to her to alert the six other families
living in the neighboring inflammable
trailers before they too went up in
flames. Chaya threw open the door and
shouted, “Fire! Fire!”
The Times article continued:
The officials added that Sarsour had
told interrogators that he had planned to
throw Molotov cocktails at an army post
near Tel Rumeida, but found it vacant.
Climbing the fence of the Jewish
settlement, he spied the rabbi through
the window of his mobile home, broke
in, stabbed Rabbi Raanan to death and
fled back to Palestinian-controlled
Hebron, the Israelis said. Days later, the
29. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
Israeli officials said, Sarsour reported the
killing to Hamas officials, who inducted
him into the elite military wing and
taught him grenade throwing. On Sept.
30, Yom Kippur, Sarsour made a
grenade attack on an army post in
Hebron, wounding 14 Israeli soldiers
and 8 Palestinian passers-by, the Israelis
said. The Israelis have arrested four
suspected accomplices. The Palestinians
said they had arrested two more. In
another twist, the Palestinians asserted
that Sarsour, even if he had acted
independently in Beersheba, was a
double agent for Hamas and for Israeli
security, Israeli Army Radio reported
this evening. The Palestinians said two
of his accomplices had disclosed his
double role in videotaped interrogation.
The videos have been flown to the peace
talks in Maryland, the army radio said.
''I'm never afraid,'' she said. ''He who is
destined to meet death can't escape his
destiny. What can we do? Even if it is
unusual in Beersheba, as a people we are
used to it.''
The Rabbi that he assassinated,
Insh’allah, was a relative of Rabbi Kook
30. LINDA SARSOUR
who reconciled Zionism with orthodox
Judaism. So that is why my cousin is doing
life. This is the kind of jihadist that I
descend from. In most other countries he
would have been executed for what he did
but there is no death penalty in the Zionist
entity, except for so called crimes against
humanity.
Another of my family, Heeba Nidal
Sarsour runs the Palestine Children’s Relief
Fund, a money laundering organization for
Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza.
The New York Times2
reported:
31. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
The Holy Land Foundation for Relief
and Development, one of three
charities whose assets have been
frozen because they are suspected of
funneling donations to terrorist
organizations, has asked the Treasury
Department for permission to transfer
some of its charitable assets to
another nonprofit organization. If the
department approves, the foundation
will give $50,000 to the Palestine
Children Relief Fund, which works
to bring medical services to needy
children in the Mideast.
In 1991, the Palestine Children
Relief Fund considered two Hamas money
laundering fronts as assisting organizations:
The Holy Land Foundation for Relief and
Development & Global Relief Foundation.
Both of these Hamas proprietaries were
closed down by the Zionist Occupational
Government. Another assisting entity, the
International [Islamic] Relief Organization,
was raided by the FBI for filtering money
to al-Qaeda, Egyptian Islamic Jihad and
Hamas. The International Islamic Relief
Organization has been named in a lawsuit
put forward by the families of the 9/11
32. LINDA SARSOUR
victims of collateral damage for having
"played key roles in laundering of funds to
the terrorists in the 1998 African embassy
bombings" and having been involved in the
"financing and ‘aiding and abetting' of
terrorists in the 1993 World Trade Center
bombing." Their words, not mine. On its
website the Palestine Children Relief Fund
says it "works with these organizations"
and acknowledges their "support and
cooperation."3
One particularly notable
supporter of PCRF is Arab American
Association of New York of which I am
executive director and who has solicited
donations on PCRF's behalf.4
Of course I
am going to help out my cousins.
The Sarours made their homes in both
Brooklyn and Milwaukee. In 1995, my
cousin Salah Sarsour was arrested and
imprisoned by Israel for eight months for
supporting Hamas. According to his
brother, while in prison, Salah became
close to the West Bank commander of
Hamas’s Izzedeen al-Qassam Brigades,
Hamas’ armed military wing. Salah Sarsour
has been named in law enforcement
documents as assisting in raising money for
Hamas. Sarsour's brother Jamil was arrested
33. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
by Israeli authorities in 1998 for providing
military support to Hamas. Upon his arrest
he detailed Salah's involvement in Hamas
fundraising through a Holy Land
Foundation branch in Texas. Salah and
Jamil also raised money for Hamas through
a furniture store that they owned in
Milwaukee. The money, as well as military
support, went to Adel Awdallah who was
wanted and killed by Israel in 1998. In
addition to his position with AMP, Salah
Sarsour is Milwaukee representative of the
Muslim American Society (MAS). Salah
and I are circumspect in not friending each
other on Facebook as our blood relationship
is best kept secret.
34. LINDA SARSOUR
I must give thanks to Obama’s
Democratic Party that is willing to give us
credibility despite our desire to destroy
35. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
secular parties and our connections to
violent jihad. They believe me when I deny
having any contact with Hamas or other
radical Muslim groups. Otherwise I never
would have received a “Champion of
Change” award from President Barack
Obama some years ago. Only in America
could candidates who covertly and
sometimes overtly support what they call
terrorism. We have not found that self
flagellation in the GOP.
For Michele Bachmann and the
people of the Tea Party movement the fact
that we are Muslim means we are disloyal
to our country and have hidden agendas.
The attacks against me are not a new stage
of Islamophobia, but are warranted because
I am becoming a real threat. Michele
Bachmann, Peter King and their colleagues
are trying to further marginalize Muslim
Americans from civic engagement and
political life so that we can ultimately
subvert it. I have news for them: It’s not
working.”5
It comes as no surprise to me
that President Obama would award, little
me, a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood a
good citizen’s prize. Brother Obama put the
Muslim Brotherhood in power in Egypt; he
36. LINDA SARSOUR
did it with a dog whistle speech at Cairo
University in June 2009. He invited at least
ten members of the outlawed Moslem
Brotherhood this speech. He told them that
some things that we only discussed in
private in the past must be discussed openly
now, such as deposing Mubarak.
The New York City Democrats who
gave grants to my community outreach
center have been a great help. I was
selected as one of 14 groups by the Mayor’s
De Blasio’s Fund to Advance New York to
receive $10 million over five years. Mayor
De Blasio is one of Hamas’s biggest New
York City donors. He was a member of a
U.S. based Sandinista support group that
funneled money to Daniel Ortega under the
pretense of humanitarian aid.
37. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
After I became radicalized I turned
a genuine moderate Muslim group into a
radical one. I began my “community
outreach” actually dawa work, over ten
years ago in the local taxpayer-funded
Arab-American Association of New York
(AAANY). Dr. Basemah Atweh who I
describe as a family friend (actually a
cousin on my father’s side) and AAANY
founder, invited me to join the organization
and assured me if she volunteered I would
eventually be offered a paid position.
Less than two months after my
volunteer work began that consisted of
helping newly arrived immigrants get
settled and adjust to life in the U.S. I was
38. LINDA SARSOUR
hired in a paid, full-time capacity. In 2005,
Atweh and I, along with two other
passengers, were returning from the
opening of the Arab American National
Museum in Dearborn, Michigan when our
car struck a tractor trailer on a Pennsylvania
highway, causing it to flip over four times.
Atweh died of her injuries. I was driving,
but was not seriously hurt. I had only minor
cuts on one hand. Despite the trauma, I
went straight back to work, feeling
compelled to reverse Atweh’s legacy of
diluting Islam. Two other passengers
sustained broken bones and snapped
vertebrae.
Basemah Atweh a Palestinian single
mother, who didn’t wear hijab, lived on her
own after a divorce, worked as a patient
representative at Lutheran Medical Center
in Brooklyn and knew seemingly every
secular Arab in the city. After surviving the
car crash in which Atweh was conveniently
killed, I took over the organization. Did I
drive the car into the truck on the right
passenger side? Or course not. There is no
statute of limitations on murder. It was at
this time that I reached an arrangement with
my husband and family members providing
39. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
me with the luxury of devoting all my time
and attention to transforming herself into a
full-time, organizer for Hamas.
Because I took over this charity and
turned it into a Hamas front I started getting
money from Obama Democrats to run some
Brotherhood-like outreach programs. I am
not the only one who uses government
funds to destroy it. The two other principals
who helped organize the anti-Israel 2017
Woman’s March on Washington were also
recipients of government funds.
I receive grants from NYC Mayor's
Fund - Civic Corps, Department of State
Office of New Americans, Department of
Youth and Community Development
(DYCD) and the Department of Cultural
Affairs (DCA). Councilman Vincent
Gentile and Councilman Carlos Menchaca
work for my behalf in return for Arab votes.
The North Star Foundation is a prime
donor. The foolish, self destructive do
gooder Russell "Toby" D'Oench, a partner
at the law firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate,
Meagher & Flom LLP, started the North
Star Foundation out of a sense of noblesse
oblige and a desire to land Arab accounts.
40. LINDA SARSOUR
This firm is now the subject of federal
investigation into influence peddling due to
a remote connection with Paul Manafort.
Russell pointed his firm in that direction
and it does scads of pro bono work for us.
The liberals, who caused my alma
mater John J. High School to eventually
close, will literally bend over backwards to
show how liberal and tolerant they are and
label anyone who attacks our religion as
Islamophobic even though they do have
something to fear, the wrath of Allah, when
it comes to disbelievers. Islam has no use
for liberalistic degeneration of our beliefs
and no love for the decadent progeny of
manmade law that destroys morality.
I am counting on liberal Jews to
show how liberal they are and vote for me
for New York City Council membership
even though I want to see each and every
one of the disbelievers dead. We are taught
that on judgment day the rocks and the
other trees will speak and announce the
location of the Jews on sort of a country-
wide PA system. Jews will be murdered,
man woman and child, with the exception
of those who hide behind a Gharkad tree.
41. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56
Number 791: Narrated 'Abdullah bin
'Umar: I heard Allah' Apostle [Muhammad]
saying, "The Jews will fight with you, and
you will be given victory over them so that
a stone will say, 'O Muslim! There is a Jew
behind me; kill him!'" Anyone who believes
our religion is a religion of peace is
unaware of this Haidith.
Jews are so power hungry and greedy
that a Jew York City Councilman, Brad
Lander, is my chief supporter. A reform
Jew married to a non-Jewish woman, he
uses a reform synagogue in Brooklyn as a
progressive political-organizing platform
just as we use our Mosques. He publicly
42. LINDA SARSOUR
identifies himself as a “Zionist” but used
his son’s circumcision ceremony to
denounce Israel. “We are thrilled to
pronounce you a Jew without the right of
return,” Lander pronounced to his 8-day-old
child. “Your name contains our deep hope
that you will explore and celebrate your
Jewish identity without confusing it with
nationalism.” But Lander had to give in to
his Jewish constituency and refused to
become a member of the Hamas front, BDS
Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions. Had he
represented a more diverse district Brad
would have never let me down. BDS is an
idea we got from the German Nazis who
called for a boycott of Jewish goods.
Not only is Lander a Hamas
supporter, he hates the United States. He
joined eight City Council members who
refused to stand for the Pledge of
Allegiance, joining a protest started by City
Councilman Jumaane Williams who
represents East Flatbush, a once Jewish
neighborhood turned Jamaican, who led the
council members. Brad stated “I’ll remain
seated in an act of solidarity and patriotism.
I’m sorry if it’s in any way offensive to my
constituents, but surely it is far less
43. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
offensive than receiving vile hate mail or
being worried about whether your teenage
son is going to come home at night.” He
was the only Jew among the Hispanic and
Black Jew haters to do this.
Rev. Khader El-Yateem, a Muslim mole
who has infiltrated the Lutheran church, is
another one of my political allies. Born to a
Christian family in Bethlehem he knew
after graduating high school that he wanted
to be a minister. The calling became less
clear, he told me, after Israeli defense
forces arrested and imprisoned him in 1989.
He told me that he was interrogated,
tortured everyday when, at the time, he was
a student at Bethlehem Bible College. “I
never was told why I was arrested. I never
was told what the crimes that I’m charged
44. LINDA SARSOUR
with were” he said. After 57 days in solitary
confinement El-Yateem said he was
released with no explanation. El-Yateem
had aided some of our brothers in the first
Intifada but the Zionists could not prove it.
El-Yateem secretly recited the shahada and
is now running for New York City Council
as Christian pacifist when in reality he a
Muslim brother.
The Bethlehem Bible College held
an event "Christ at the Checkpoint" that
preached replacement theology, which
teaches that the Christian Church has
replaced Israel and the Jewish people in
God's purpose and plan so that the Jews are
no longer God's "chosen people," and that
Christians have replaced them. Israelian
government officials have expressed the
concern that the "blame Israel" propaganda
coming out of the conference "ultimately
serves to encourage violence and stir up
even more radical Islamic terror." They say
it’s "just the type of religion-fueled imagery
that has in years past resulted in the worst
kind of Christian anti-Semitism."
I can see how this Muslim mole was
radicalized, as for me, beginning in my
45. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
early childhood my father sent me to the
Islamic Society of Bay Ridge Mosque and
Madrasa. In March 2006, when I was 25, I
told the New York Times: ‘You just absorb
every word the Imam at the Islamic Society
of Bay Ridge says."
The Islamic Society of Bay Ridge’s
Imam from 2002 to 2006 was Reda Shata,
originally a Muslim Brotherhood leader and
political refugee from Egypt. Imam Shata
was a smart cookie: He pretended to co-
operate with the FBI, invited feds to speak
at the Mosque, threw parties for local
police, dined with Mayor Bloomberg yet all
46. LINDA SARSOUR
the while he tried to pull the prayer rug out
from all of them.
Imam Reda Shata viewed Hamas as
a powerful symbol of resistance and was
under NYPD surveillance as a “Tier One
Person of Interest.” Those that qualify for
this noble designation have a “threat
potential based on their position at a
particular location, links to an organization,
overseas links and/or criminal history.”
It was Shata who rolled me over and
trained me as a jihadist and jihadist enabler.
His Mosque was a hotbed of jihadist
incubation. On March 1, 1994, on the
Brooklyn Bridge in New York City,
Lebanese-born immigrant Rashid Baz shot
at a van of 15 Chabad-Lubavitch Orthodox
Jewish students that was traveling on the
Bridge, killing one and injuring three
others. He used a Cobray MAC-11 fully
automatic pistol to strafe the van, and a
Glock 17 9mm semi-automatic pistol to
shoot at students. He also had a 12-gauge
Armsel Striker shotgun in his trunk. Four
students were shot. Two most seriously
wounded were Ari Halberstam, a 16-year-
47. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
old, who, insh’allah died four days later
from a shot to the head. The other student,
Israeli-born Nachum Sasonkin, was also
shot in the head and suffered permanent
major speech impediments. Before he
performed his heroic act, Rashid Baz
attended the Islamic Society of Bay Ridge
Mosque in Brooklyn, where he was
whipped into frenzy by Shata:
And then he went to the mosque
and according to Muafaq Askar he
heard Imam Shata say that this
[the actions of Jewish Defense
League member Baruch Goldstein
who opened fire in a Mosque in
the West Bank] takes the mask off
of the Jews. It shows them to be
48. LINDA SARSOUR
racist and fascist as bad as the
Nazis. Palestinians are suffering
from the occupation and it's time
to end it.
It was a Shata in the dark. Brother
Rashid Baz was convicted of murder in the
second degree and of 14 counts of
attempted murder and was sentenced in
Manhattan Criminal Court to 141 years in
prison. In prison Rashid Baz has strictly
adhered to the laws of Allah.
This was the same holy mosque
that, on Israel’s fiftieth anniversary a few
years later, hosted an event during which an
Islamist proclaimed that Jews killed the
Muslim prophet and that Jews harbor an
eternal hatred for Muslims. My Imam also
exhorted the audience to support Jihad
against “the Zionist entity” and distributed
pro-Hamas literature.
In June 2003, four suspected
brothers of Hamas were arrested in front of
the mosque. That same year, Mohammed
El-Mezain spoke at the mosque. A NYPD
intelligence report described El-Mezain as
49. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
the “suspected North American leader of
Hamas.” He was convicted in 2008 for
fundraising for Hamas. In 2004, Imam
Shata rightly described a Palestinian mother
who carried out a suicide bombing as a
“martyr” or shaheed. The bombing killed
four Israeli security personnel and injured
Israeli and sadly Palestinian civilians,
however collateral damage is part of the
game. The Imam also spoke at a 2004
memorial service for Sheikh Ahmed
Yassin, the founder and spiritual leader of
Hamas that was killed in an Israeli airstrike.
He said the “lion of Palestine has been
martyred.”
The Islamic Society of Bay Ridge
played a part in the trial of Shahawar Matin
Siraj, a jihadist determined to make a raid
50. LINDA SARSOUR
within New York City. Shahawar Matin
Siraj was going to carry out Al-Qaeda’s
long-term plan to bomb New York City
subways but not only did he hook up with a
dirty New York City Police Department
snitch who attended 575 prayer services at
the Bay Ridge Mosque and another mosque
in Staten Island over 13 months, he became
friendly with an NYPD detective, a Muslim
who came to America from Bangladesh
when he was 7, and testified that he was a
23-year-old college graduate when he was
plucked from the police academy in
October 2002 and asked to become a deep
cover spy. He took an apartment in Bay
Ridge, Brooklyn, where he joined the
Islamic Society of Bay Ridge next door to
the Islamic bookstore where Shahawar
Matin Siraj worked. When the undercover
detective began visiting the Bay Ridge
Mosque in 2002, the Intelligence Division
was governed by a 1985 consent decree
stemming from a civil lawsuit. The decree
limited police surveillance of religious
services. The guidelines set by the decree,
which were loosened in February 2003,
required that certain paperwork be filed
before such an investigation could be
51. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
conducted. I detected a problem here and
worked diligently to restrict the pigs from
infiltrating Mosques, using the First
Amendment to the United States
Constitution which prohibits the making of
any law respecting an establishment of
religion, ensuring that there is no
prohibition on the free exercise of religion.
Ah if only the communists didn’t have a
godless philosophy, the CPUSA could have
established “churches” where statues of
Marx and Engels were worshipped and
Communist cell members could read from
the Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital.
There could have been an open Communist
meeting hall in every major American city.
Out Mosques serve as an assembly and
recruitment point for jihadists and we must
prevent those who wish to restrict their
construction from doing so with lawfare,
using the courts and Freedom of Religion to
ultimately end secular civil law and replace
it with the law of the only God and his last
and final Prophet, Mohammad! But we also
must have people to fill these Mosques.
I attended the Bay Ridge Mosque
during this period and served as a counter-
intelligence consultant to would be
52. LINDA SARSOUR
jihadists, pointing out who I believed were
undercover agents. No family, they came
from different neighborhood etc. were good
clues that they were bogus. "They think we
don't know, but we know who they are," I
told the New York Times in 2006. The
Times called me a community activist not
Hamas operative due to its liberal bias.
Aside from exposing snitches, the
back story ideology here is my “security
stripping” that makes it harder and harder
for the authorities to conduct terrorism
investigations. We file numerous federal
lawsuits claiming that Muslims civil ritghts
are being violated if they are suspected of
being jihadist on the basis of their religion.
In reality I have no use for civil liberties as
I have submitted to the laws of Islam and
am an advocate of religious law. So I claim
that Muslims are being singled out on the
basis of their religion and that even if this
methodology prevents mass casualty
terrorist attacks it is a violation of civil
liberties and freedom of religion. Once
again, Communists would have done much
better if they dropped the godless business
and declared themselves to be a religion.
53. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
Then when they were compelled to register
under the Foreign Agents Registration Act
they could have claimed the law was a First
Amendment violation “Congress shall
make no law respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof.” Both the Communists and the
Islamists share the same goal of
overthrowing the United States
Government and establishing a dictatorship,
but we, the Islamists, have a better shot at
it.
In the meantime I must pretend to
put secular law above Sharia in order to
achieve my goals. For example at recent
speech at a gathering of disbelieving
feminists I stated “To create healthy
communities we must create a society
where an LGBTQI person can feel safe in
any and all public spaces.” Notice how I
used a longer abbreviation that LGBT. This
was to show how well versed I am in gay
nomenclature. The letters LGBTQI stands
for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender,
Queer or Questioning, and Intersex.
Questioning means a person who is unsure
of and/or exploring their gender identity
and/or sexual orientation. I know the gay
54. LINDA SARSOUR
community is in the business of recruiting
and wants to win this group over.
Intersex is a set of medical
conditions that feature congenital anomaly
of the reproductive and sexual system. That
is, intersex people are born with “sex
chromosomes,” external genitalia, or
internal reproductive systems that are not
considered “standard” for either male or
female. We’re talking about hermaphrodites
here. We know the strict Islamist
punishment for male same sex behavior is
being tossed off the highest building in
town and if that don’t work stoning to death
but because the al-khuntha (hermaphrodite)
did not make the choice to have two sets of
sexual organs he/she gets a walk. The
punishment that gays should be thrown
from a high building then stoned if they are
not dead when they hit the ground is based
on one account from the Haidith in which
the Prophet Muhammad reportedly said
gays "should be thrown from tremendous
height then stoned.”
55. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
Not only have I said that gays
should not be killed but I have defended
gay marriage, which is totally the antithesis
of Islam. This never even crossed the mind
of the authors of the Haidith that such a
thing could exist. In reality when Sharia
law comes to America these same sex
marriage certificates will be used to hunt
these degenerates down and eliminate them.
But how can I get away with advocating it
now?
One of the most striking passages in
the Qur’an is 2:106, which provides the
basis for the doctrine of abrogation: “We do
not abrogate a verse or cause it to be
forgotten except when we bring forth one
better than it or similar to it. Do you not
know that Allah is over all things
competent?”
Allah, in other words, changes
revelations as he goes along, and the later
56. LINDA SARSOUR
revelations supersede the earlier ones.
There is disagreement among Muslim
theologians as to exactly which verses have
been abrogated and replaced, but the
general idea has been clear. When we are
weak and in a minority position as we are in
Christian and Jewish America, we should
behave peacefully according to the Meccan
passages (which reflect the early time when
Muhammad was vulnerable and building
his power base), and when we are strong,
we are obligated to wage war according to
the later Medinan passages (written when
Muhammad was in power).
If I want to I can change my
position on Israel and say it has a right to
exist. In this interview with a local news
channel I said “I do believe Israel has a
right to exist.” But at the same time I can
advocate a “one state solution” where Jews
would become a minority in the land they
believe is their own and their dimini status
as People of the Book, will start again.
The Brotherhood understands my
strategy and hidden agenda, because it
shares it with me, while other groups do
57. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
not, and consider me a sell out to the
Zionist entity. However the truth is that I
have become very dangerous to Israel and
to American Jews. I masquerade as a sharia
law progressive and people are stupid
enough to believe such a thing exists. I am
a jihadist using the cover of progressive to
implement a secret agenda that is no
different than that of my violent brothers
and sisters, cousins and jihad-funding
relatives: destroy the Zionist state and kill
American Jews.
But I can’t run on a terrorist ticket.
That wouldn’t go over too big in New York
City after 9/11. Instead I claim I am a
Bernie Sanders Progressive who believes
Sharia Law is compatible with liberal
democracy when of course it is not.
Although Bernie disavows the BDS
Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions Movement,
he has recently advocated cutting military
aid to Israel or abolishing it all together.
Bernie is a socialist and former
Trotskyite and Sharia Law is theocracy,
where the clerics call all the shots based on
the word of God and his Final Messenger,
not Leon Trotsky. Its manifest destiny is to
58. LINDA SARSOUR
rule the world when the Ummah is created
militarily. We came close to world
domination with the Ottoman Empire,
under which people were ruled by a milder
form of Sharia than exists now in Saudi
Arabia.
I have to be very careful about what
I say about Shar’ia law. I must walk a fine
line because to issue fatwa’s on Islamic
Law is forbidden for woman and I might be
accused of making mischief in the land.
The punishment of those who wage
war against Allah and His Messenger,
and strive with might and main for
59. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
mischief through the land is:
execution, or crucifixion, or the
cutting off of hands and feet from
opposite sides, or exile from the land:
that is their disgrace in this world,
and a heavy punishment is theirs in
the Hereafter;
60. LINDA SARSOUR
I am not a cafeteria Muslim who
decides that all she has to do is not drink
booze or eat pork and she is a good
Muslim. I don’t pick and choose the tenants
of Islam I wish to observe. I only pretend to
do this and can get away with because it is
done in the course of making Jihad.
I say I support early term abortion
when Islam strictly forbids it and I claim I
am against Female Genital Mutilation, an
Islamic practice. I know that there is no
way I can get away with advocating FGM
in the PC atmosphere of the left so I’ll ditch
that for now and wait for the time the
Muslims become a majority in America
61. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
then abrogate it. If Muslims believed I
really believe this line of camel dung I
would have been labeled an apostate and
received numerous death threats from
radical Islamic “terrorist” groups.
But the Moslem Brotherhood and
Hamas, (the Moslem Brotherhood in Gaza)
realize that this is merely a ploy to convince
leftists, who already have Israel hating
proclivities, that Islam and the Left can
form a coalition. In reality, Islam is
capitalistic theocratic religion, Mohammad
being a merchant among other things, and it
has no tolerance for godless Communists or
liberal democracy.
Using this front I was able to
become a leader of the Woman’s March on
Washington as if I was going to liberate
Muslim women from Sharia. I twisted the
truth and said that Sharia Law is the best
ever because it gives Saudi women
maternity leave, and completely contradicts
what it is to be a woman under sharia in
Saudi Arabia. Sharia explicitly relegates
women to a status inferior to men. For
example the testimony of a woman before a
62. LINDA SARSOUR
judge is worth half that of a man. If this is
what Allah wills, so be it.
So I will make my Silent Jihad by
running for public office, beginning with
the New York City Council, and create a
constituency of a coalition of minority
groups who already have anti-Jewish
tendencies. This is the Third Pillar of Silent
Jihad, INFILTRATE. Although there are
not many blacks in my district she I have
taken up the Black Lives Matter cause,
even though I had minimal dealings with
Blacks in the past. I am looking ahead to
my Congressional Campaign.
The largest group of Jew haters in
America is the African-American kafirs.
Beginning in 1964, the Civil Rights
organization SNCC (Student Non-Violent
Coordinating Committee) decided that they
were on our side, not the Zionist’s side.
Before this there was a Black Jewish
coalition and as a result of these activists
this coalition began to wither and is
currently defunct. Many Black legislators
are anti-Jewish and anti-Israel especially
the Muslims like Keith Ellison, who was a
63. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
leading Apostate in the Farrakhan’s
blasphemous operation. Farrakhan cons his
follows with a perversion of Islam. He is a
follower of Elijah Muhammad, who
committed one of the greatest shirks in
Islam when he attached himself to the
Prophet on an equal plain.
64. LINDA SARSOUR
Elijah deviates totally from all of
traditional Islam and teaches that it was a
renegade black scientist named Yakub who,
in defiance of Allah, created the white race
nearly 7,000 years ago and the world has
been in decline ever since. The fall of white
65. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
race is prophesied. Man was created by
Allah: “And certainly We created man of
clay that gives forth sound, of black mud
fashioned in shape.”
It was Elijah Muhammad, who
declared up to his death in 1975, that he
was, ‘the Messenger of Allah,’ and that
Allah was a man. According to Elijah,
Allah had a father named Alfonso and a
Jewish mother named Baby Gee. Elijah said
the Hereafter is now and all black men are
angels. One of these angels he claimed was
named Allah, who appeared in human form
on the streets of Detroit, Michigan in July
of 1930.
Again Brothers and Sisters,
attaching himself to Mohammad, Elijah
committed a major shirk in Islam and
technically should have been put to death.
However, traditional Sunni Islam finds him
useful in the war against America and
Israel. Farrakhan is a notorious gay hater
however; my endorsement of him doesn’t
seem to bother my gay constituency who
seem angrier at the display of the Zionist
flag at a lesbian demonstration in Chicago.
When I was younger I heard him proclaim
66. LINDA SARSOUR
that all the sissies would be purged from the
Black Community by 2010. I remember one
of his speeches that went like this: Now
brothers, in the Holy world you can't
switch. [Farrakhan walked across the stage
like an effeminate man]. No, no, no! In the
Holy world you better hide that stuff 'cause
see if God made you for a woman, you can't
go with man. You know what the penalty is
for that in the Holy land? Death. They don't
play with that [he laughed]. Sister get to
going with another sister - Both women [are
decapitated]. See how ignorant of Islam this
false prophet is? Lesbians are not executed.
67. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
Others with bright recruitment potential
for my anti-Israel, anti-Jewish coalition
include anti-Zionist Jews, such as members
and leaders of the Jewish Voice for Peace
(VVP).
Katherine Franke, a Professor of
Law at Columbia Law School and the Chair
of the Board of the Center for
68. LINDA SARSOUR
Constitutional Rights is the leader of JVP.
She is a smelly bull dyke and will be made
to prove she has given up her perverse ways
by reverting to Islam, for everyone is born
Islamic but somewhere along the road takes
a wrong turn, and by giving birth. She will
not be put to death. Ibn Qudaamah said
(9/59):
If two women engage in lesbian
sexual relations, then they are guilty
of zina and are cursed, because it was
narrated that the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said: “If a woman has sexual relations
with another woman, then they are
both guilty of zina.”
The punishment for zina by a muhsan
(unmarried Muslima) is a hundred
lashes followed by stoning to death in
public. Persons who are not muhsan
are punished for zina with one
hundred lashes in public, but their life
is spared.
There is no hadd punishment
(punishments which under shariah are
69. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
mandated and fixed by God) for them
because they did not have intercourse,
rather it is likened to intimate relations that
are less than intercourse, and they are to be
subjected to a ta’zeer punishment.
Tazeer punishment is that the
punishment is not fixed and it’s up to the
Qadi (judge) to impose something that will
be sufficient as a deterrent while suiting the
gravity of the crime.
I would never engage in these sort of
degenerate relations and after the American
Shari’a Revolution Katherine would be
punished with ten lashes, however she
might enjoy that being a masochistic
Jewess:
Franke participated as a panelist in the
spring 2016 “Apartheid Week” event “The
Case for Academic Boycott,” co-hosted by
SJP and JVP, where she distributed an
informational sheet that described the 1934
Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses as a
“counter-boycott” to boycotts of goods
from Nazi Germany. She supports those
who would gas her.
70. LINDA SARSOUR
JVP head Phyllis Bennis is a long
time Communist and a confirmed Israel
hater. She doesn’t believe Jews have a long
history of persecution and rightly regards
Zionism as a scam.
The resettlement agency that does the
in-gathering of exiles on behalf of
Zionism is a quasi state institution in
Israel. They have one country that is
their target each year the beleaguered
Jewish community in Belarus or in
Argentina or wherever are and that’s
the basis for their fundraising.
No need to go into the attack on the
Jewish Community Center in Buenos Ares,
it was carried out by the Shiites the largest
apostate group pretending to be Islamic.
Bennis supports our most militant jihadists
and believes that America had no right to
bomb the Ben Laden terrorist camps in
Afghanistan after 911, but should have sent
Special Forces there to find the terrorists
and bring them back to the United States so
they could have a fair trial in Federal Court.
She thinks they are going to take these
Islamists alive and deprive them of
71. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
heavenly virgins? Bennis blames 911 on
America’s support of Israel.
The attack on the World Trade
Center was a crime. If the US claim
of being a country ruled by law were
actually accurate, the US's goal would
have been to bring the terrorists to
face international justice, not to turn
them into "dead or alive" targets for
F-16-flying bounty-hunters. Early on
in the crisis, there appeared little
doubt that some version of
fundamentalist Islamism and some
connection to Middle East politics
were the likely components
motivating the attack. And early on, it
was no secret what policies lay at the
root of Arab, Muslim and regional
antagonism to the US [due to Israel].
Those policies had been there long
before September 11th
; unfortunately
they remain in place even after the
events of that day.
The JVP are some of my most ardent
supporters:
72. LINDA SARSOUR
We are members of the Jewish
community from a range of political
perspectives who are committed to a
country and world rooted in justice
and dignity for all. It is in the service
of this commitment that we condemn
the recent attacks on and threats to
Linda Sarsour. These attacks are
dangerous, disingenuous and
counterproductive, undermining core
Jewish values of compassion,
humility and human dignity. We may
not agree with Sarsour on all matters.
We do not offer our stamp of
approval to every tweet or message
she has ever posted.
But in this time, when so many
marginalized communities in our
country are targeted on the streets and
from the highest offices of
government, we are committed to
bridging communal boundaries and
73. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
standing in solidarity with one
another. With Sarsour and others, we
work as allies on issues of shared
concern and respectfully disagree
when our views diverge. We will not
stand by as Sarsour is falsely
maligned, harassed and smeared, as
she, her organization and her family
suffers vicious public threats and
intimidation. We unequivocally
oppose these assaults against her, and
publicly state our commitment to
working alongside her for a more just
and equal society.
I recently appeared with Rasmea
Odeh in event sponsored by Jewish Voice
for Peace. Rasmea is part of the PFLP, a
Communist action group. Of course we
74. LINDA SARSOUR
have no use for these Leftists, Socialists
and Communists; Mohammad, (MPBUH)
was a successful trader and a true capitalist.
Rasmea was sentenced in 1970 to life in
prison, but released in a 1979 mass prisoner
exchange for an Israeli soldier captured in
Lebanon. Her status in the PFLP was such
that Leila Khalid, the first female airplane
hijacker, participated in Task Force
Rasmieh Odeh. After the 1979 prisoner
release, Rasmea eventually made her way
to the U.S. in the mid-1990s.
In November 2014, Rasmea was
convicted in federal court in Detroit of
lying on her immigration and naturalization
forms, by falsely denying she ever had been
arrested, convicted or imprisoned. Rasmea
claimed that she did not understand that the
word “EVER” (there were caps in original)
on the forms meant ever. She also stated
that post-traumatic stress disorder from the
Israeli torture prevented her from recalling
the conviction and imprisonment when she
answered the immigration forms; the Judge
would not allow such “expert” testimony as
legally irrelevant to the immigration crime
charged. Rasmea was sentenced to 18
75. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
months in prison and ordered deported. Her
conviction was overturned on appeal but
she agreed to plead guilty in exchange for
no time in prison and leave the country
after she was scheduled to face a second
trial in Detroit Like it or not, the PLFP is
adept at spilling Jewish blood, having been
trained in the former godless USSR.
In November 2014, Five Israelis
were killed in the best attack to take place
in Jerusalem in years. Two Palestinian men,
cousins identified as Ghassan and Odai Abu
Jamal, attacked worshippers in a synagogue
with knives and a gun before being shot
themselves. The assailants were members
of the Popular Front for the Liberation of
Palestine (PFLP) militant wing, the Abu Ali
Mustafa Brigades. The Brigade issued a
statement in the aftermath of the attack
calling it a “heroic operation” and
describing the perpetrators as “martyrs.”
Hani Thawbta, a PFLP leader in Gaza, told
reporters: "We declare full responsibility of
the PFLP for the execution of this heroic
operation conducted by our heroes this
morning in Jerusalem."
76. LINDA SARSOUR
The PFLP is a secular Palestinian
Marxist Leninist and revolutionary socialist
organization founded in 1967 by a
Christian, George Habash, so it makes
sense that the Communists in the United
States would support it. PFLP were the
Wright Brothers of airplane hijacking. The
US, the EU and Canada have declared it a
“terrorist” organization. Many of the
group’s leaders have either been locked up
or assassinated by Israel. We allow PFLP to
operate out of Gaza because of its
militancy.
The Super Sol bombing killed two
Jewish boys and injured many others. I
have to ask myself: Why would Jews honor
a Jew killer? Do we invite IDF soldiers who
killed our brothers and sisters to speak at
our events? The Jews are a sick race: The
Jewish pond scum in the Jewish Voice for
Peace want to kill Jews, dirty Zionist Jews,
but don’t have the guts to pull the trigger or
plant the bomb or put on the vest. They
want others to do the deed for them.
The Left believes Rasmea lies that
she was tortured by the Israelis into
77. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
confessing when in reality Israel didn’t
need it since they found explosives and
detonators in her home. The whole thing
was Rasmea’s idea but the anti-Zionist
Jews can’t deal with this or can they? This
is from my scrap book:
SUPERSOL SABOTEURS
SENTENCED TO LIFE
Lydda -Three of the five accused in the
in the Jerusalem Supersol and British
78. LINDA SARSOUR
Consulate terror bombings in last February
were yesterday sentenced to life
imprisonment in the military court here.
They are Rasmiyeh Youssef Odeh, 22m
Ayesha Oden 26 and Yacub Ahmed Odeh,
27 (Rasmiyeh’s cousin). Mahmud Issa
Mustapha al-Ubeidi 24 and Samia Ali
Ibrahim e-Tawil 17 recived prison
sentences of 15 and five years respectively.
All five were member of the Popular Front
for the Liberation of Palestine. Two
Hebrew University agriculture students,
Edward Joffe and Leon Kanner, were killed
in the Supersol explosion when one of the
two bombs planted in food tins went off.
The second bomb was dismantled 15
minutes before it was to go off. The first
bomb planted in the British Consulate
(simultaneously with the Supersol bombs
did not go off. However, the accused
returned a few days later and planted
another which caused some damage.
The trial lasted six months, primarily
because of numerous objections by the
defense to the court’s acceptance of the
suspects Police statements – which they
claim were extracted through force and
79. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
sexual violence. All such claims were
rejected for lack of evidence
RINGLEADER
It emerged during the trial that
Rasmiyeh Odeh was the ringleader of the
cell. She planned the bombings and went to
Supersol to buy the tins which were later
filled with explosives. Her home, which
was subsequently blown up by the
authorities, was used to conceal arms and
explosives. In addition she housed two
other terrorists there the night before the
blasts – Ayesha Odeh and Rashida Mar’el
who escaped capture by fleeing to Jordan.
On the day of the blasts, Rasmiyeh, Ayesha
and Rashida set out for the home of a
teacher in the Christian Quarter of
Jerusalem where they changed their
traditional clothes for Western dress.
Ayesha and Rashida then proceeded to
Supersol, while Rasmiyeh went to set the
British Consulate bomb.
Yacub Odeh, a teacher, functioned
mostly in an organizational capacity. While
he did not plant any bombs, he was
instrumental (along with his cousin
Rasmiyeh) in planning the acts of sabotage
80. LINDA SARSOUR
and preparing the explosives. He also made
contact with the Jerusalem teacher, in
whose home the girls changed their
clothing and was active in recruiting
personnel for the gang. (The Jerusalem
teacher apparently did not know to what
purpose his home was being used – Yacub
told him the girls had to change their
clothes to have some photographs taken).
The other two, Mahmud al-Ubeidi and
Samia Tawil, were less active in the
incidents. Mahmud was very loosely
connected with them, although he was
caught in possession of arms and Samia
was merely dragged along with Rasmiyeh
when she laid the second bomb at the
British Consulate. Samia, the youngest of
the cell members on trial, was the only one
to admit any of the charges. A
representative of the International Red
Cross, Mr. Guy Wintelir, who was present
in the courtroom as an observer, noted, in
answer to a reporter’s questions, that the
bench had given the accused every chance
of defending themselves and the was in his
opinion a fair trial.
81. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
SUPER SOL ACTION
My anti-Zionist, anti-Jew coalition
will include Occupy Wall Street types,
who hate Israel already, or even
Communists who claim to be anti-racist and
like the Muslims believe the ends justify the
means and are willing to go to extremes of
brutality. It was the left that invented the
term “Islamophobia” so it doesn’t take a
genius like myself to detect a sympathy of
Islam. Other groups susceptible to
intersectional recruitment include groups
where these ideas can be implanted such as
Hispanics, illegals and Gays. The coalition
will join with those of the right such as
Nazis Rand and Ron Paul. It would amass
82. LINDA SARSOUR
enough power to cut off military aid to
Israel and abrogate any defense treaties
giving Iran the green light to attack.
Another Pillar of Jihad would be fulfilled,
DOMINATE.
Finally the last Pillar of Silent Jihad
would be fulfilled: DECIMATE. Not only
am I intent on destroying Israel, I’m also
intent on destroying the United States, for
without this nation of disbelievers, the US,
there would be no Zionist entity. And don’t
forget Islam mandates a Caliphate, wherein
Sharia law rules, not the U.S. Constitution.
83. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
Another way to make jihad is to
protest against entrapment. During the trial
of Pakistani immigrant Shahawar Matin
Siraj, who was convicted of plotting to
blow up the Herald Square subway station,
Muslims like myself who attended the Bay
Ridge Mosque learned that two agents of
the police had been planted in the
neighborhood and were instrumental to the
case. Osama Eldawoody, a naturalized U.S.
citizen from Egypt, and the Bangladesh-
born undercover officer both testified for
the government. Osama Eldawoody had
been assigned by the New York Police
Department to identify and monitor Islamic
extremists in the city's Muslim
neighborhoods following the Sept. 11
jihadist raids. The trial's revelations, and its
outcome for the defendant, Shahawar Matin
Siraj, have outraged myself and my Muslim
brothers and sisters who did not want sting
operations being run because of their
effectiveness as is most counter-insurgency;
stopping a terrorist attack before it gets
started. The Muslim community wants to
see more terrorists’ attacks so we pretend
our civil liberties are violated. We claimed
police tactics unveiled in the case as proof
that the authorities both in New York and
84. LINDA SARSOUR
around the nation have been aggressive,
even underhanded in their approach to
Muslims.
Testifying in his own defense Siraj
said he never had a violent thought before
he fell under the spell of the 50-year-old
Eldawoody. He said the older man became
a mentor and instructed him that there was
a fatwa permitting the killing of U.S.
soldiers and law enforcement agents.
Eldawoody had himself talked about
"blowing up the buildings and blowing up
the Wall Street places," Siraj said. He
admitted taking steps to attack the subway
station, but only after the informant
inflamed him by showing him photos of
prisoners being abused at Abu Ghraib
prison in Iraq. Brother Siraj was found
guilty on all four of the counts he faced.
Despite this we still continued to claim he
was entrapped, including an Imam Reda
Shata who knew the informer and had
found him to be suspicious.
The fact of the matter is this: If you
get involved in setting off bombs in a
crowded subway then anything goes when
85. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
it comes to stopping you, because so many
lives are at stake. So don’t be surprised if
the “anti-terrorist” police break the law. I
continued to security strip New York City:
Linda Sarsour, 30, the director of Bay
Ridge’s Arab American Association,
said she has seen growing resentment
in her neighborhood regarding the
police’s infiltration tactics. While the
Muslim community has an excellent
relationship with the local 68th
Precinct, said Sarsour, there is tension
between neighborhood leaders and
residents and the NYPD’s
intelligence department. “They are
afraid. Our community feels
targeted,” said Sarsour, who added
that Eldawoody had attempted to
speak to many other Arabs in the
neighborhood, including the imam at
the local mosque, before linking up
with Siraj and Elshafay. What can
appear to be indiscriminate targeting
or fishing expeditions by police,
leaders like Ahmad and Sarsour said,
only heightens fear in their
communities, leaving people afraid
that they too could find themselves at
86. LINDA SARSOUR
the center of a terror investigation. I
don’t know how we can have a
partnership with the same
government that spies on you.
Caption: Linda Sarsour director of the
Arab-American Association of New York
said that bonds with the FBI were
permanent.
Brothers and Sisters you can’t come
out and say that the FBI should stop their
counter-insurgency operations because it is
not giving terrorists a fair chance to
complete their terrorist plots which is their
every right since the Jews in New York
City support Israel, and the Israelis drove
87. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
my people from their land. So you say it is
violation of Muslims civil liberties and you
support legislation that makes it more and
more difficult to open terrorist
investigations. Forgive me, but we
hamstring the cops.
Unlike New York City Mayor
DeBlasio, Mayor Bloomberg was not
averse to keeping the Muslims community
under surveillance so as the director of the
Arab American Association of New York I
refused to attend his prayer breakfast. I
hoped the gesture would keep the issue of
police surveillance of Muslims alive. If not
Muslims “will be further marginalized in
the years to come.” I also went after the
Strong Cities Network; described by the
Justice Department as a coalition among
cities and communities to share information
and training guides on stopping extremism;
it was to include grants for local initiatives
and strategies to build resilience against
jihadist recruiting. De Blasio’s depiction of
the program differed from the
characterization offered by me, who, in a
letter to the mayor expressed concern that
tactics used in some early adopting cities,
like Boston and Los Angeles, had proved to
88. LINDA SARSOUR
be divisive and counterproductive. It’s very
specific to violent extremism as it relates to
Islam, I said and voiced concern that New
York would revive some of the counter-
terrorism practices of the Bloomberg
administration, which involved the
surveillance of mosques and city Muslim
groups. Inshallah, Mayor de Blasio is doing
great things, but when it comes to policing
and police-community relations, he’s
missing the ball I said.
In 2017 my years of work
establishing my liberal legend paid off
when I was invited to become a leader of a
Feminist March in Washington, D.C.
Feminism goes against all the teachings of
Mohammad, Allah’s last and final prophet.
It is not up to me, a mere mortal, to
question the word of God.
Sharia explicitly relegates women to
a status inferior to men. Women are to
receive just one half the inheritance of a
male. Muslim men are given permission by
Allah in the Koran to beat their wives.
Muslim men are permitted to marry up to
four wives and to keep concubines in any
89. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
number. Muslim women may marry only
one Muslim man and are forbidden from
marrying a non-Muslim. A woman may not
travel outside the home without the
permission of her male guardian and must
be accompanied by a male family member
if she does so. Muslim men are given
permission by Allah to commit marital
rape, as they please. The Holy Qu’ran
(2:223) says, “Women are your fields. Go
then into your fields as you please.” The
only prohibitions in Islam are vaginal
intercourse during menstruation and anal
intercourse. Oral sex should not lead to any
naajis (impure) substance being swallowed
otherwise “anything goes” as long as it’s
done within the confines of one’s home and
within the confines of marriage. There is no
“free love” or “pre-marital relationships” in
Islam. If you are a male you might get away
with a little hanky-panky here and there but
if you are a Muslima you better watch out:
Islam encourages a phenomenon known as
honor killings. This Islamic practice
consists of the murder of female family
members who are seen as dishonoring their
families through real or perceived acts, such
as premarital sexual relations or
unapproved dating. Honor killings are
90. LINDA SARSOUR
justified under Islam in some Muslim
countries such as Saudi Arabia. For
example, tenth-grade textbooks teach Saudi
children that it is permissible to kill
adulterers.
I have come out against many of
these practices but after we establish
Shar’ia law in America I can abrogate all
my previous statements made in the name
of Silent Jihad. I have said horrible things
such as supporting early term abortion
when Islam strictly forbids it. I have said I
am against Female Genital Mutilation, an
Islamic practice. But I have to. There is no
way I can get away with advocating FGM
in the PC atmosphere of the left so I’ll ditch
that for now until Muslims become a
majority in America. Many Muslims realize
I am not an apostate and do not treat me as
they would others who advocate a
liberalization of Islam.
Why would Quran-fearing Muslims
let a lover of those Mohammad ordered to
be put to death, like queers, become the
face of Hamas in the United States?
Because they know I can put together a
91. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
broad coalition of Jew hating groups since I
have the Left convinced that because I
speak out against certain Islamic practices I
am a Progressive. I stream out camel dung
by the kilo as I did during my controversial
CUNY speech:
I love my country. It has given my
Palestinian immigrant parents who
lived under military occupation the
opportunities to give me and my
siblings a better life and I am forever
grateful. I love my country so much
that I work every day to push my
country to be a better nation to stand
up to its original ideals.
Actually America’s original ideals
included preventing America from being
flooded with a bunch of what were then
called Mohammadans. Malcolm X once
said, “You're not to be so blind with
patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong
is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.”
For I truly believe dissent is the highest
form of patriotism. That silence is an
endorsement of the status quo and makes us
complicit in the suffering of the most
92. LINDA SARSOUR
marginalized amongst us, even though
Allah willed they be marginalized.
But even though I claim to love this
country I hate it just as Malcolm X did and
don’t really believe that hating it is a form
of patriotism. I continued along the same
lines:
Understanding our history and being
rooted in the moments when we were
wrong – starting from the days of our
founding and the massacres of
indigenous people, to the forced
enslavement of Black Africans, to
segregation, to the Chinese Exclusion
Act, to internment of Japanese
Americans, to mass incarceration,
also known as modern day slavery, to
everything in between — we must
acknowledge the mistakes of the past
and present to commit to NEVER
AGAIN.
One Jewish Supremacist wrote “It is
obvious the Cockroach [Sarsour means
cockroach in Arabic] hates America and
that her family should never been allowed
93. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
to immigrate here. She and other Muslims
are liars. She brings up the issue about the
past treatment of Native Americans.
Meanwhile, she is a Muslim and considers
them to be pagans. According to her Quran,
the pagans are to be slaughtered. Whenever
a Moslem brings that or other incidents up,
they are just using it as a convenient false
argument against the fact that they are pro
terrorism. Of course the mass incarceration
of blacks has nothing to do with violent
drug dealing gangs; it is just another form
of enslavement. Then she throws in a
NEVER AGAIN, the slogan of the Jewish
Defense League in relation to the
Holocaust.” My speech to the Woman’s
Libbers Washington DC gathering
continued:
We must stay righteously outraged.
We must never feel despair or
complacency or submit to the idea
that “this is just how it is.” I will be
outraged every time a black man or
woman like Sandra Bland, Tamir
Rice, Ramarley Graham, Eric Garner,
Walter Scott, Jonathan Edwards,
Freddie Gray are killed at the hands
of law enforcement, I will be
94. LINDA SARSOUR
outraged every time I remember that
Flint still does not have clean water, I
will be outraged every day until we
end mass incarceration, I will be
righteously outraged every day until
we are all treated with dignity and
respect and we are all free in every
part of this world, when one of us is
not free – none of us are free. I will
be righteously outraged and I will
make sure to contribute something
every day to alleviating suffering and
pain in my midst.
The idea that the NYPD exists to
protect certain ethnicities against others is
gaining currency among Muslim New
Yorkers, who are exhibiting increasing
solidarity with African Americans and Left
wing advocacy groups like The Center for
Constitutional Studies, ACLU etc. We are
hoping for a nationwide coalition of
minority groups eventually outnumbering
the White Christians and the Jews who
claim they built a lot of this country, when
it was the Blacks that did the work. This
was in lieu of a the speech where I was
supposed to say, “I will liberate Muslimas
95. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
from their slave status under Islam and
demand totally equality and the right to
pray together with them five times a day in
the Mosque.”
Instead: “I will be righteously
outraged and I will make sure to contribute
something every day to alleviating suffering
and pain in my midst.”
This Jew hating Woman’s Lib March
was put together by Bob Bland, the
daughter of two school teachers from
Washington whose real name is Marilyn
Bland. Bland has been able to extract grants
from Obama democrats for an “incubator”
in what was once the Jewish owned
96. LINDA SARSOUR
garment district. She doesn’t make many
statements about Israel but lets me do it
instead.
Tamika Mallory, another March
organizer, is the former Executive Director
of the National Action Network run by the
Reverend Al Sharpton. Sharpton references
Jewish people by calling them “diamond
merchants” during the aftermath of the
Crown Heights riots, which took place in
Brooklyn in 1991. Sharpton, who led
protests that led to the riots, said at the time
“If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to
pin their yarmulkes back and come over to
my house.”
97. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
Zionist Yankel Rosenbaum killed in
riot incited by Tamika’s group
Tamika is also a board member of The
Gathering for Justice, and has been
supporting the efforts of Justice League
NYC, leading marchers over 250 miles
from Staten Island, NY to Washington, DC
to reduce racial disparities in policing on a
national level. She is featured in the media
on the intersection of civil rights, social
justice and the new wave of feminism.
Selected to serve on the transition
committee of New York City Mayor Bill de
Blasio, Tamika was instrumental in helping
to create the NYC Crisis Management
System, an official gun violence prevention
program that awards nearly $20 million
98. LINDA SARSOUR
annually to innovative violence intervention
organizations.
THE MAYOR'S OFFICE TO PREVENT
GUN VIOLENCE
Working with communities, city
agencies and law enforcement to
implement evidence-driven strategies
in order to reduce gun violence in the
neighborhoods that have experienced
shooting spikes New York City the
City Council has created the "Gun
Violence Crisis1 Management
System," a citywide initiative to
reduce gun violence in the 17
precincts accounting for 51 percent of
shootings citywide. De Blasio
Administration & the New York City
Council have invested $19.9 million
in comprehensive strategies to reduce
gun violence in these neighborhoods.6
Cure Gun Violence providers are in
17 precincts and is an evidence-based
99. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
public health approach, identifies and
engages individuals most likely to be
involved in gun violence – especially
when at risk of engaging in retaliatory
shootings – and deploys interventions
aimed at curbing that behavior before
it occurs. The award-winning project
intervenes before escalation turns to
gun violence by employing “violence
interrupters” – typically former gang
members who have turned their lives
around – to quell street disputes and
link potential shooters to case
management and supportive services.
In other words Tamika gets money to
pay off gang members not to kill each
other. It doesn’t seem as if it is working
because Islam is really the only answer.
The other brain child’s of this boondoggle
involves teaching gang member’s algebra,
which is supposed to pacify them when he
reality they should be reading the Holy
Koran.7 Tamika was involved with Louis
Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam and was
a creation of the Obama years, wherein
liberalism turned into white and Jewish
masochism. We bamboozled these kafirs
into supporting cop killer Joanne

WOMAN’S MARCH @womensmarch
Happy birthday to the revolutionary
#AssataShakur #SignOfResistance, in
Assata’s honor is by #MelodiousFunk
CARMEN PEREZ
Carmen Perez was another March
leader and another example of why Islam is
the only answer. She is a professional cop
hater. In Islam we do not disrespect the
101. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
police, especially the religious police who
make sure Shar’ia law in being followed.
Carman’s sister was a doper killed
by other Latin Kings gang members after
she set them up for a rip. Carmen opposes
“mass incarceration” (deliberately locking
up black and Latino not because they
committed crimes but because of race) and
is fighting for gender equity, violence
prevention, racial healing (whites taking
responsibility for imperialism and slavery)
and community policing. I also support
community policing and intend to set up
Sharia Law Zones, as now exist in England,
in New York City. As the Executive
Director of The Gathering for Justice, a
nonprofit founded by legendary Communist
Harry Belafonte, Carmen went on a junket
across the globe “promoting peace through
civil and human rights, building alternatives
to incarceration and violence, and providing
commentary and guidance for state and
federal policy creation.” She was accused
of lobbying on behalf of criminals and
illegal aliens rather than their victims by the
Zionist rightwing media.
In 2002, Carmen went to work for
Barrios Unidos in Santa Cruz, California,
102. LINDA SARSOUR
an organization dedicated to providing non-
violence training and re-entry services for
the incarcerated, and establishing an
Institute for peace and community
development in Santa Cruz and across the
country. According to FBI statistics Santa
Cruz has a significant crime problem, with
the highest property crime rate in California
among medium and large cities. It also has
a higher violent crime rate that all but eight
California cites. People are more likely to
become a victim in Santa Cruz than in Los
Angeles. Islam is the only solution.
Barrios Unidos is a bogus, un-
Islamic worthless program8
designed to
make its administrators a living or make
them rich. This was written about Carmen:
“Her work providing cultural, spiritual and
educational events as well as individual
support to incarcerated youth inside of
juvenile detention centers and prisons in
California and New York has led Carmen to
prisons in El Salvador and Venezuela.”
103. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
“Carmen is the co-founder of Justice
League NYC and founder of Justice League
CA, two state-based task forces for
advancing juvenile and criminal justice
reform agenda. She has organized
numerous national convening’s, including
Growing Up Locked Down conferences on
juvenile justice, and led the March2Justice,
a 250 mile march through 5 states from
New York City to Washington, DC which
drew Congressional attention to key
legislative reforms to confront the national
crisis in police violence.” Like Tamika, she
is a follower of Louis Farrakhan.
A respected expert in the field of
juvenile and criminal justice and
104. LINDA SARSOUR
system accountability, Carmen was
invited to testify before the
President’s Task Force on 21st
Century Policing, was a featured
speaker and Co-Convener of the 20th
Anniversary of the Million Man
March, Justice Or Else, and have
been featured in numerous media and
TV outlets.
I was invited to be the keynote speaker
at Islamic Society of North America
(ISNA) annual convention in Rosemont,
Illinois from June 30 to July 3, 2017. ISNA
is part of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood
network set up to funnel money to Hamas
and to create an atmosphere conducive to
jihadist raids. Those sharing the stage with
me included a Holocaust denier, multiple
imams who support the death penalty for
homosexuals, the daughter of a convicted
jihadist, and others who say Muslims
should never cooperate with law
enforcement. One speaker has, in the past,
threatened fellow Muslims with physical
violence for cooperating with police. So I
had to make a militant speech that would
105. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
make headlines to the estimated 20,000
people who attended. I began my speech
paying tribute to a Pakistani feminist
Islamist thanking Imam Siraj Wahhaj who
played an important part in the first World
Trade Center jihadist raid.
My very brief lecture this evening is
in honor of someone who was a
pioneer herself. She was a native of
Pakistan and was schooled
traditionally at home and held a
strong belief in the value of formal
education encouraging other children
to pursue college studies. She was a
goal-oriented woman. She taught
those around her the importance of
love, dedication hard work, and the
respect of our beautiful religion and
had generous your scholarships’ there
is a scholarship in her name that will
provide any American student with
the opportunity to pursue an
education to field Islamic studies and
journalism at a US-based institution
ISNA is the one that is coordinating
that scholarship so I am grateful and
honored to stand here today to honor
a powerful woman who no longer is
106. LINDA SARSOUR
with us today so please join me in
honoring Hajja Razia Sharif Sheikh at
our beautiful family who's here with
us today.
I also want to congratulate you
Doctor Sayeed for the decades of
work that you have committed to our
community your name is a household
name – everyone knows who Doctor
Sayeed is and I want you to know that
us and the generations that come after
will understand that we stand on your
shoulders and the work that you have
done in the infrastructure that you
have built for all of us to be proud of
in the United States of America.
Congratulations to Dr. Sayeed.
Sayyid Muhammad Syeed, was
President of the Muslim Students
Association of USA & Canada (1980–83), a
Brotherhood front, and he pioneered its
transformation into ISNA. He now
functions as a “Mr. Niceguy” interfaith
coordinator in charge of conning reformed
Jews into thinking they will not be
107. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
relegated to dimini status in the Islamic
State of America.
And to my favorite person in this
room, cause that’s mutual, is Imam
Siraj Wahhaj who has been a mentor,
motivator and encourager of mine.
Someone who has taught me to speak
truth to power and not to worry about
the consequences. Someone who has
taught me that we are on this earth to
please Allah, and only Allah, that we
are not here to please any man or
woman on this earth. So I am grateful
to you Imam Siraj.
On February 26, 1993, Sheikh Omar
Abdel Rahman’s jihadist raiders parked a
rental van in a garage underneath the World
Trade Center’s twin towers and lit the fuses
on a massive homemade IED. Six infidels
died and more than 1,000 were injured in
the subsequent explosion, which carved out
a crater several stories deep and propelled
smoke into the upper reaches of the quarter-
mile-high skyscrapers. At the time, it was
one of the worst terrorist attacks ever to
occur on U.S. soil. Imam Wahhaj told me
that the only reason the Brothers were
108. LINDA SARSOUR
unable to collapse the tower was because
the van driver got up too late and couldn’t
get the parking space where the bomb
would do the most damage. He spoke truth
to power and didn’t fear the consequences
when took part in this victory for Allah.
You may think this is weird but every
once in a while when I get that deep
dark place Imam Siraj Wahhaj comes
and talks to me and he helps me to
emerge out of those spaces. So I am
grateful to you Imam. May Allah
bless you and protect and keep you
for a long time for our committee
because we need you now than ever.
It gets very stressful playing two roles,
the liberal activist and someone who is
trying to bring the laws written by God to
America and I become depressed.
I want to be a living lesson for the
Muslim community. I want the
challenges that I face to be a lesson to
all of you in this room and beyond this
room. What I believe that people can
learn from my experience is that you
109. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
can be unapologetically Muslim,
unapologetically Palestinian American,
hold strong conviction, have strong
ideology and politics and still become a
mainstream American who can inspire
and resonate with people outside of the
Muslim community.
I told my Brothers and Sisters that I have
proven that Islam and Sharia, supporting
Hamas in Palestine as opposed to
supporting Israel and being a so-called
“terrorist” or “terrorist enabler” can inspire
and resonate with people who share our
hatred of Jews. This is our common bond;
this will be the basis of our coalition. Sharia
law is as American as Apple Pie.
I have been able to prove the
importance of us as Muslim
Community standing up for any and
all communities who are oppressed in
this county because not only is the
right thing to do it is the Islamic thing
to do. I have been able to teach us and
our young people that we do not have
to give up any part of our identity.
110. LINDA SARSOUR
The Qu’ran makes it clear associating
with infidels is off limits however there
is a very interesting escape clause:
Quran (3:28) - "Let not the believers
Take for friends or helpers
Unbelievers rather than believers: if
any do that, in nothing will there be
help from Allah: except by way of
precaution, that ye may Guard
yourselves from them..." This last
part means that we are allowed to
feign friendship if it is of benefit to
Allah.
Ibn Kathir stated that "believers are
allowed to show friendship
outwardly, but never inwardly."
My speech continued:
I don’t have to choose the rooms that
I go into or the organizing spaces I
am in or when I meet with elected
officials or to sit in interfaith spaces I
don’t have to choose Do I not be too
Palestinian this day? Do I not bring
up the positions that I have on certain
111. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
issues? Do I hold back in certain
spaces? I have been a living example
whole heartedly all of me whatever
space I am in. People are learning to
embrace us all complex identities that
we bring to the table and I will not be
in a space where any group or any
organization or individual tells me
that there is a part of my [Muslim]
identity that is not welcome into any
space. That, my sisters and brothers,
is not something that going to fly
with us in the Muslim community.
Even when I am meeting with Jewish
leftists, or Jewish elected officials or Rabbis
I can tell them how disgusting and immoral
Zionism is and they don’t bat an eyelash.
They have to accept our “complex identity”
that we bring to bargaining table as we can
discourage jihad as well encourage it.
And I want to share some advice to
us and some observations in the very
short time I have. I want to talk about
patriotism and that is a conversation
that we have in many elements of the
Muslim community. I want us as
Muslims to discuss this; in particular
112. LINDA SARSOUR
those of us who are children of
immigrants / immigrants themselves.
Patriotism in your home country is
different than patriotism in the United
States of America. And that is part of
conversation. What is patriotism in
this country, in the land of freedom of
speech in the land of democracy?
Dissent is the highest form of
patriotism so the most patriotic, our
heroes, the people that we say inspire
us El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz [AKA]
Malcolm X or Mohammad Ali. These
are people that dissented against our
government and against very polices
that oppressed the communities they
came from.
The audience got the idea. Patriotism is not
allegiance to America but to the Umma; so
the true patriots are those that dissent
against America and want to see it
destroyed or transformed into an Islamic
State. This is what Malcolm said about
patriotism in his famous Ballot or the
Bullet speech: “No, I'm not an American.
I'm one of the 22 million black people who
are the victims of Americanism; One of the
113. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
22 million black people who are the victims
of democracy, nothing but disguised
hypocrisy. So, I'm not standing here
speaking to you as an American, or a
patriot, or a flag-saluter, or a flag-waver --
no, not I. I'm speaking as a victim of this
American system. And I see America
through the eyes of the victim. I don't see
any American dream; I see an American
nightmare.”
In these United States of America, if
you sit back idly in the face of
injustice, if you maintain the current
status quo that not only oppresses
Muslims, but oppresses black people
inside our community and outside our
community, undocumented people,
other minority groups and oppressed
groups, you, my dear Sisters and
Brothers, are then aligned with the
oppressor. 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.
You are aiding and abetting the
oppressors in these United States of
America. I will not be an aide or help
any oppressor in this nation that
114. LINDA SARSOUR
oppresses any community by my
silence. You can count on me every
single day to use my voice to stand
up, not only to people outside our
community who are oppressing our
communities, but those inside our
community who aid and abet the
oppressors outside of our community.
Here I rephrased an old Black Panther
Party slogan; either you are part of the
problem or part of the solution. Then I
threw in another slogan from the African
American community NO SNITCHING
because SNITCHES GET STITCHES.
There is a man who once asked our
beloved prophet Mohammad he said
to him, “What is the best form of
jihad or struggle?” And our beloved
prophet Mohammad said to him, “A
115. A JIHAD GROWS IN BROOKLYN
word of truth in front of a tyrant ruler
or leader that is the best form of
jihad.” 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. We are
struggling against tyrants and rulers
not only abroad in the Middle East
but here in the United States of
America, where you have fascists and
white supremacists and Islamophobes
reigning in the White House."
Jihad means to war against non-
Muslims, and is etymologically derived
from the word ‘mujahada’, signifying
warfare to establish the religion and
mujahedeen, fighter for Allah. This is
Qu’ranic definition. The Haidith about truth
in front of a tyrant, is a true Haidith, but I
quoted it here for a reason, I juxtaposed it
with a reference to Donald Trump subtly
insinuating he should be assassinated. May
Allah bring this to pass.
Sisters and brothers we talk a lot
about this across the Muslim
community I hear people have this as
themes of their conferences, unity.
116. LINDA SARSOUR
The best weapon that we have as a
Muslim community against our
opposition and those who choose to
oppress is unity.
Our opposition is not only the
politicians, media personalities and
websites that pretend to “expose” Islam but
infidels in general. Unity means the Umma,
an Islamic planet earth.
Unity Sisters and Brothers is not just
the word that you use that sounds
really nice that you say on a stage.
Unity is not just a word. Unity is
tangible it looks like something; it
feels like something, when I think
about the Islamophobes and those
who oppose us as a Muslim
community.
Again I hint that kafirs in general are
the problem not just professional
Muslim haters.
They don’t actually see differences
within us. They don’t care if your are
if you Shiite, or Sunni, Sufi they
