This video of the Left’s darling Linda Sarsour was taken during a panel discussion a year ago at New York’s Union Theological Seminary called “Standing Up for Justice: Muslim Women in Action.” It just popped up on social media.
To cheers from the audience, Sarsour said, “Our prophet was a racial justice activist, a human rights activist, a feminist in his own right. He was a man that cared about the environment. He cared about animal rights…He was also the first victim of Islamophobia.”
Wow.
Robert Spencer fisks each of these claims based on Quranic sources, but such a takedown is hardly necessary. It is obvious that Sarsour wants to whitewash (greenwash?) Islam and align the most socially repressive and backwards political movement in the world with the Left.
The real question is, why does the Left buy this utter hogwash?
The answer, which is no surprise, is that today’s Left has left liberalism far, far behind, while pretending to be it’s champion.
And there are too few real liberals willing to publicly call them on it.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
