Nor should she, Sarsour tweeted the following of Ali: "She's asking 4 an A$$ whippin'. I wish I could take their vaginas away - they don't deserve to be women."

These are the sort of trojan horse individuals that the far-left seems to welcome as bedfellows of convenience.

She was born in the US and was a Bernie supporter.

Did you bother to read the link? It contradicts the sensational click- bait headline. Sarsour called for " non- violent jihad- using words as opposed to violence".

No shortage of online media chose to use a similar sensational headline. Not all bothered to clarify that she advocates for non- violent jihad- the use of words, not violence.

People tend to believe anything when it seems to validate their perceptions.

And another who chose not to read the article which contradicts the sensational headline.

She made clear her intention is non- violent jihad- using words, not violence.

What did they steal?

What culture are you actively part of?
Celebration of Christmas was unlawful in most colonies. Importing indentured servants from Ireland, had a huge impact. They refused to assimilate and openly celebrated Christmas.

Took nearly 100 years for Congress to declare Christmas a national holiday only after it became obvious, there was a $ to be made.

I am hard- pressed to think of any particular culture unique to America.

There are more than 40,000 different Christian denominations/ sects. Most consider their way the right way.

Sarsour was born in the US and advocates for non- violent jihad. Some media omits " non- violent" when they portray her.

She has been and continues to be a frequent guest on Fox News.

My own sense of her is that she is a political opportunist and latches onto controvercy. She penned an article,
"My hijab is my hoodie" during the Travon Martin ordeal.

You all seem outraged that a Muslim woman chooses to call for non- violent action and have no issue with violating free speech and calling for the deportation of a US citizen born and raised in the US.

So what? Her community is not a country.

She said that Muslim-Americans' number one priority should be protecting and defending their communities, not assimilating or pleasing people in power.

Like I said, she can criticize her government all she wants, I have zero problems with that. Nobody is supposed to please the people in power anyway.

But when she says her number one priority is protecting and defending her own little communities, and not assimilating.. she needs to realize that she is on her own. Does that mean that she would stop blaming others for viewing Muslim "community" (lol, are they just regular Americans? ) as an unassimilated tribe? Is she doing the Muslims-Americans any favor?

I hope she realizes that her red bold is not helping her community. I doubt majority of American Muslims agree with the red bold. Or maybe I am just being optimistic.

We all assimilate to society in one way or another. The other day I was in my sports car and wanted to open it up on a curvy road but the 30 mph speed limit and fear of a speeding ticket stopped me. We have speed limits for a reason and that is to protect people from crashes.

We assimilate for the safety of society. It would seem that this woman has no concern for the society that she willingly moved into or did her husband give her a choice?

Her calls for jihad against Trump needs to be investigated. Let the CIA, FBI and SS turn her life upside down just in case she is plotting something and let her be charged if her demands are followed out by some idiot.

Maybe she is actually the role model for muslims in the US and she broke the secrecy ?
She calls for non- violent jihad- using words, not violence.

She was born in the US.

She seems to choose her words carefully to gain maximum media attention. That media would drop the " non- violent" part of her jihad comment was predictable. It probably resulted in a dozen opportunities to be interviewed.

She plays the same media game that Trump has been doing for decades. What kind of man gives a schlock jock permission to call his daughter a piece of ass and freely discusses his daughter's breast size? It's all about attention.

Non-violent or not, her words, body language, tone and attitude towards this country can incite violence she may not even be aware of.
