A major figure in the left-wing “resistance” against President Donald Trump invoked efforts to please Allah as a reason for her work, and specifically called it “jihad.”
Linda Sarsour, an organizer of the Women’s March and other campaigns agains Trump and his agenda, addressed the 54th Annual ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) Convention last weekend.
“Why sisters and brothers, why are we so unprepared. Why are we so afraid of this administration and the potential chaos that they will ensue on our community?” she said.
“I hope, that when we stand up to those who oppress our communities, that Allah accepts from us that as a form of jihad.”
She continued to argue she’s waging a holy war against Trump.
“We are struggling against tyrants and rulers not only abroad … but here in the United States of America, where you have fascists and white supremacists and Islamophobes reigning in the White House,” Sarsour said.
“When I wake up in the morning, and I remember who is sitting in the White House, I am outraged,” she said.
“This is not normal, sisters and brothers. Those people sitting in the most powerful seats in this country, is not normal.”
Sarsour indicated it’s not just about Trump, but America as a whole as she called on Muslims to refuse to “assimilate” into our way of life;
“Our number one and top priority is to protect and defend our community. It is not to assimilate and to please any other people in authority,” she said.
“And our top priority … is to please Allah, and only Allah.”
