Linda Sarsour Defends Her Use Of Jihad, Blames Conservative Media
dailycaller.com ^ | 7/9/17 | Amber Randall and Grace Carr

Posted on 07/10/2017 10:47:39 AM PDT by ColdOne

“Most disturbing about this recent defamation campaign is how it is focused on demonizing the legitimate yet widely misunderstood Islamic term I used, ‘jihad,’ which to majority of Muslims and according to religious scholars means ‘struggle’ or ‘to strive for,'” Sarsour wrote. “This term has been hijacked by Muslim extremists and right-wing extremists alike, leaving ordinary Muslims to defend our faith and in some cases silenced. It sets a dangerous precedent when people of faith are policed and when practicing their religion peacefully comes with consequences.”

OK then...struggle or to strive for doesn't mean they want to drive trucks into crowds of people, slit our throats, blow us up, shoot us in crowed places........................yeah riiiiiight. Sharia is sharia no matter what she says. Jihad/sharia is for the caliphate. Plus it is ok for them to lie, says so in the Quran.

Down with the struggle, just like CPUSA and Hitler and Palestinians.

She is enemy. She proclaims herself so blatantly and publicly.

Until we start dealing with enemy as enemy, we’ll remain the enemy’s punks.

She says that muslim extremists and right wing extremists have both hijacked the term jihad.

A) she’s willing to call them muslim extremists when many in homeland security and the obama administration would not.

B) where does she place Muslim extremist on the supposed spectrum ranging from left wing extremist to its supposed polar opposite right wing extremist?

************************************************************
This woman reminds me of David Duke. There is no “ordinary muslim”. This is the battle she fights and is swimming upstream on insofar as half of America is concerned. The “Muslim” religion is Islam. Period. It believes in beating women, gentital mutilation of women, stoning women, marrying 8 years old, throwing gays off roofs (we’ve all seen the videos), burning people alive, cutting heads off and on and on and on.

Her FN religion, if it is a Religion, is INDEFENSIBLE by any standard of any kind or nature whatsover and so is she.

Uh huh. I’m guessing this radical muslim activist really hates the word “crusade” even though for “most Christians” it isn’t used to mean holy war. So she can bugger off.

Sharia is totally antithetical to what we regard as US Constitutional law, and there is no place in the Koran where either the Ten Commandments or the Golden Rule is recorded. Apparently the attachment of Islam to the God of Abraham ends with Ishmael taking the superior position as the favored son of Abraham, and Isaac was the son driven off into the wilderness.

It is telling that Islam theology FORBIDS the reference to either the Torah (Old Testament) beyond the early parts of Genesis, or of the New Testament. However, the story of the death and resurrection of Christ is most carefully grafted onto the saga of Mohammed Ali, who was supposed to have been borne up to heaven by angels, sitting at the right hand of Allah, who seems to be a pretty mean and miserly deity when in a side-to-side comparison with YHWH, a truly just and righteous God that extends the saving grace of mercy and peace.

Justice, mercy or any kind of appeal simply is not a part of Sharia law, But man, do they ever get the “righteous” part down, becoming the bearded men with the burning eyes, moving in response to the mission they have been given. Convert as many as can be done, or enslave those who are reluctant to convert. If neither becoming a Muslim and accepting all the duties that go with that status, nor willing to become a slave to the whims of whatever Noble Islamic Gentleman one finds themselves bound to, the only other option is death, either on the spot, or when the Noble Islamic Gentlemen catch you. And generally, they make it pretty painful.

The orthodox Islam always leaves room for that kind of activity. Being a violent-if-necessary conquest plan, it must.

Trouble is, it doesn’t figure in the difficulties of pissing off Christians so badly that they actually start to get serious about their Savior again.

Jesus is smackdown city to Allah.

There is no term for grace in the Koran.

Mercy is occasionally seen. But its purpose isn’t the same as the purpose of Christian mercy. It’s a practical, realpolitik move to help larger Islam on its conquest quest.

Linda Sarsour dissembles. The left has mostly given up using that particular bit of drek. Most pole know that Jihad is not "inner struggle." It can be used to mean just as War can be used to mean "inner struggle" but its use without a lot of explicit context does not carry that implication or definition. It means violent propagation of the faith.

STFU Sarsour! The term Jihad and Sharia is NOT misunderstood and is well understood by those who carry it out. This POS would not survive a day in Syria nor could tolerate the BS Sharia she loves so much. Put a burka on it bitch! She is a lunatic and needs to be punted out of this country ASAP.

The decent ones had better be figuring out a way to separate themselves from the extremists so we’ll be able to tell them apart.

People quit calling it a religion, islam is nothing more than a cult and a murdering cult at that.

If a word causes a strong negative reaction in people, wouldn’t it be wise of a speaker to use another word? If struggle is what she meant, why use jihad?

I’m inclined to believe she meant to be offensive.

The FBI needs to arrest this bitch.
