Organizer For DC Women’s March, Linda Sarsour Is Pro Sharia Law with Ties To Hamas
Approximately 200,000 people participated in a ‘Women’s March’ in D.C. on Saturday. One of the organizers of the march, Linda Sarsour is a Pro-Palestine Muslim activist.
She also advocates for Sharia Law in America and has ties to terrorist organization, Hamas.
Linda Sarsour is very vocal about her support for Palestine and her utter hatred for Israel. She has ties to the terrorist organization, Hamas as the Daily Caller reports:
Linda Sarsour, one of the organizers behind Saturday’s Women’s March, being held in Washington, D.C., was recently spotted at a large Muslim convention in Chicago posing for pictures with an accused financier for Hamas, the terrorist group.
Sarsour, the head of the Arab American Association of New York and an Obama White House “Champion of Change,” was speaking at last month’s 15th annual convention of the Muslim American Society and Islamic Circle of North America.
While there, she posed for a picture with Salah Sarsour, a member of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee and former Hamas operative who was jailed in Israel in the 1990s because of his alleged work for the terrorist group.
Linda Sarsour is very active on Twitter. She is pro Sharia law and a couple of her tweets even have a seditious tone to them where she romanticizes Sharia law and hints at it taking over America whereby we would have interest free loans.
The fact that an Islamic faction was one of the organizers of the Women’s March is laughable at best. Islam is responsible for the worst abuses of women and children not only throughout history, but at present day. Islamic supremacists who wish to impose Sharia law in America have infiltrated various leftist movements in order to appear as an oppressed minority.
Here is bizarre tweet from Maya Shwayder who is a correspondent for the Jerusalem Post in New York…is she really celebrating a Hijab? Wearing an American flag as a Hijab also goes against the U.S. Flag Code.

'Defender of Sharia': Ayaan Hirsi Ali Slams Women's March Organizer
On "The First 100 Days" tonight, women's rights activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali reacted to a recently resurfaced tweet written by an organizer for last month's Women's March, which disparaged Ali and another activist.
Linda Sarsour, of the Arab American Association of New York, tweeted in 2011 that Ali and Brigitte Gabriel should be assaulted and that she wished she could remove their private parts because they "don't deserve to be women."
Ali, a victim of genital mutilation while living in Somalia, blasted Sarsour as a "fake feminist" who is not interested in universal human rights.
"She is a defender of Sharia law," Ali said, "No principle degrades and dehumanizes women more than Sharia law."

Here is a more balanced
Here is a more balanced article from the Jerusalem Post. I imagine you will find enough to object to in the article posted.
Funny, your worked up over this, but you are fine with White nationalist Steve Bannon sitting on the national security council.
Linda Sarsour, Women’s March organizer, works to link civil rights struggles to Palestinian cause
WASHINGTON – Linda Sarsour briefly mentioned her Palestinian roots as she spoke before her largest audience yet this weekend, when hundreds of thousands marched on Washington and ground the capital to a halt.
The executive director of the Arab American Association of New York served as a national co-chair for the historic Women’s March – a protest against freshly sworn-in President Donald Trump that spread worldwide, with massive sister marches from Los Angeles to Berlin.
Women’s rights were core to the event, cast as a response to lewd and degrading comments made by the president about women throughout his campaign.
The march was intended to energize American women to protect a policy agenda centered on reproductive rights.
But women of all stripes – those who identify as gay or transgender, undocumented, black, Muslim – incorporated their own fears and policy priorities into the march, and the event quickly became a pan-progressive movement against Trump’s looming presidency.
That was the goal of its leadership, including Sarsour, who has campaigned around the country to link civil rights battles with her cardinal cause: Palestinian freedom.
“I grew up in an activist family – my parents are Palestinian, and obviously the blood that runs through my veins is the blood of a very oppressed people,” Sarsour explained to the web show Brooklyn Savvy in a 2015 interview.
“I’m outraged by our government,” she said. “We fund military aid that’s being used to basically kill my people right now. That’s like, straight up what’s happening right now.”
Born in Brooklyn, Sarsour began her work with the Arab American Association of New York after September 11th, 2001, when she was 21 years old. The organization’s founding purpose was to help Arab Americans find housing and schooling for their children as they settled in the city. But advocacy became a top organization priority as New York City’s police department began monitoring the community more invasively in light of the attacks.
Sarsour’s seminal policy battle in New York was her fight with the city to recognize Muslim holidays in public schools, as Christian and Jewish high holidays are observed. The Arab American Association worked with the help of New York Jewish groups to make it happen, she told the Vox website in an interview this month. Sarsour was honored by the Obama administration as a “champion of change” in 2011 for improving the lives of others through her charitable work.
Growing in her activist role, Sarsour has increasingly linked her Palestinian cause with struggles facing the wider Arab American community since September 11th, with the concerns of the Black Lives Matter movement, and with the responsibility to protect undocumented immigrants, LGBTQ citizens, women and girls.
“The same people who justify the massacres of Palestinian people and call it collateral damage are the same people who justify the murder of black young men and women,” she told the 20th anniversary Million Man March on Washington, an event held on the National Mall for African American civil rights, organized by Louis Farrakhan in 2015.
“The same people who want to deport millions of undocumented immigrants are the same people who hate Muslims and who want to take our right to worship freely in this country. That common enemy, sisters and brothers, is white supremacy,” Sarsour said. “Let’s call it what it is.”
Her political philosophy places all of these groups, with all of their unique challenges, within the same category of oppressed peoples – and the oppressors, the opposition, are large corporations, white Islamophobes and Zionists.
Nothing in Sarsour’s record offers evidence that she respects Zionism as a cause, and on the contrary, she has repeatedly used the term Zionist as an epithet.
She wrote in 2015 on Twitter that “Zionist trolls” were out to get her, and in 2012 that “nothing is creepier than Zionism.”
In 2013, Sarsour wrote that she believes the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the primary issue dividing the American Jewish and Muslim communities. She repeated this claim in 2016, noting that she does not believe all American Jews are anti-Palestinian.
Several commonalities – “kosher/halal, issues around circumcision, family values” – join the two communities together, she wrote.
The US, UK and nearly three dozen other nations have adopted a definition of antisemitism that would likely condemn Sarsour’s rhetoric, as her advocacy suggests she believes the Jewish state is intrinsically racist and unjust.
She does not acknowledge Israel’s right to exist.
Yet she appears to view anti-Zionism as separate from antisemitism. At an event in Los Angeles held on November 30 by the Council on American- Islamic Relations, Sarsour characterized the leadership of the incoming Trump administration as antisemitic, and linked that problem for American Jews to her own battle against Islamophobia.
It is unclear whether she supports a two-state solution as an end to all claims in the conflict, or whether she believes such a peace deal would be one step in a long series of steps toward the restoration of ‘historic Palestine.’ In response to former US secretary of state John Kerry’s final speech on Middle East peace – an address that harshly criticized the Israeli government for its settlement enterprise – Sarsour told MSNBC that Israel must first end its military occupation of Palestinian territories as a precondition for the resumption of peace talks.
Regardless of her vision for Palestinian statehood, Sarsour is not optimistic that negotiations will succeed in achieving peace in any form in the Trump era: “David Friedman makes Benjamin Netanyahu look like a walk in the park,” she said of the president’s choice for Israel ambassador.
Sarsour enthusiastically endorsed Bernie Sanders for president in 2016, thanking him on the campaign trail in Wisconsin for allowing her to embrace her identity as a Muslim while stumping for him.
“When I started supporting Bernie Sanders no one told me, ‘Look, you can’t be too Muslim up there. Don’t bring up those Palestinians,’” she said. “They welcomed all of me. They have welcomed my community in a way that no other campaign has.”
In light of her public role in the Women’s March, Sarsour has come under fire from groups on the right that have called her position on women’s rights hypocritical and her brand of Islam radical. One online news outlet, the rightwing Daily Caller, published a photo of her at a conference standing next to someone they claim had ties to Hamas.
Sarsour responded to this backlash with a statement on Facebook: “The opposition cannot fathom to see a Palestinian Muslim American woman that resonates with the masses – someone whose track record is clear and has always stood up for the most marginalized,” she wrote. “They have a coordinated attack campaign against me and it’s vicious and ugly. It’s not the first time, but it’s definitely more intense.”
But “they will not succeed,” she continued. “I have helped build a movement, I am ready for what’s to come so they can spew alternative facts and piece a twisted narrative together if they want – I and we will still rise

The speakers for the women's March also had a woman (Donna Hylton) speak who tortured and killed a gay man. That's not cool. But whatever floats your boat....

Well, there are certainly different ways to frame what Donna Hylton's situation is. Not to mention the alleged character of the murder victim, whose torture and murder was absolutely horrific.
Here's what Snopes has to say about it:

BTW: I think that some of you don't realize, or refuse to acknowledge, that MILLIONS of people around the globe chose to march in solidarity against Donald Trump. For the most part, they set aside their differences to unify around something more important than the issues presented in this thread. These people were gathering to support each other against one man whom MILLIONS oppose.
I haven't looked much into the person noted in the OP, but from my understanding, "Sharia Law," like most things written in the Christian Bible, is open to a wide variety of interpretation and implementation.

I have just a little bit of a feeling that several "Patriots" have broken a rule or two from the Flag Code:
No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
(b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
(c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.
(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
(e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
(f) The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.
(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
(h) The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
(k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.
