The alliance of the God-hating seculars and Muslims is mind boggling. HuffPo is full of stories of Muslims being dissed and attacked every day. Libs loved the Soviet Union but are now as anti-Russia as Regan ever was. Same thinking.

I'm really not sure why she's getting pushed so hard. She believes in Sharia Law and called for a Jihad against the President and America.
She seems like a snake. There's something about her I don't like at all. I can't put my finger on it. She's just all about herself, and attacks anyone who disagrees with her.
” Among Muslims, some have said Ms. Sarsour’s voice, because of its assertiveness and because she is paid (though not a lot) for her work, has occasionally drowned out other worthy voices.
“She’s basically filled the void left by people like myself and other Muslim leaders who are also activists but don’t have the luxury of time to appear on a 10 a.m. CNN show,” said Debbie Almontaser, a New York educator and the board president of the Muslim Community Network. Ms. Almontaser added that modesty — “thinking as a collective, always volunteering others before oneself” — is a core Islamic value.
“That sort of ingrained humility,” she said, “is not exactly a part of who Linda is.”
Not that that has been easy. While Ms. Sarsour likes to talk — with a talent for praising herself without sounding overly self-aggrandizing — about helping to organize events like December’s shutdown of the Barclays Center in Brooklyn after a grand jury did not indict the white officer in the case involving Mr. Garner, she acknowledges that she has encountered resistance from some Arab Muslims who feel that she should save her energy for helping her own kind.
“There are people who disavow her work because they think it’s not enough in the community,” said Zead Ramadan, a former board chairman of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in New York. “The older, more conservative faction will say, ‘Oh, she’s too liberal,’ or, ‘That’s not how a Muslim woman should act.’ But if there’s anyone who clearly represents the religion and who can make it into a political seat in New York, it’s Linda.”
