“They told us that we couldn’t have a Democratic Socialist like Zohran Mamdani as the mayor of New York City. And what they don’t know is that we are people that do not take no for an answer.” So says Linda Sarsour. But who ever told her she couldn’t have Mamdani? No one. She is trying to perpetuate the victimhood myth that powers the left, and give the impression that there are some entrenched, moneyed powers that Mamdani faced down and defeated. In reality, Mamdani represents the real power in New York City and elsewhere around the country. That’s clear from the congressional candidates Sarsour lists off. There will be many more after them, as the left continues to dismiss all opposition to the growth of political Islam in the U.S. as “Islamophobia.” And so there is no resistance to the real power in the country, which Sarsour doesn’t oppose, but rather represents.
“Extremist Linda Sarsour At NYC DSA Rally: We’re Cleaning Up Congress; Candidates Standing Unequivocally For A Free Palestine Are Winning Elections Across America; NY State Senate Candidate Aber Kawas: The People In Queens Want A Free Palestine,” MEMRI, June 11, 2026:
American extremist Linda Sarsour, executive director of MPower Change, introduced New York State Senate candidate Aber Kawas at a Hasan Piker and New York City Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) slate rally held on June 11, 2026 ahead of the June 23 Democratic primaries….
Kawas said that if elected to the New York State Senate, she would work to pass the Not On Our Dime Act, which she said she had helped develop with Mamdani while he was a member of the State Assembly. She also pledged to stop the “pipelines” of weapons she said are sent from airports in Queens to bomb Iran, Gaza, and Yemen. Concluding her remarks, Kawas said: “The people in Queens, they want a free Palestine.”
Sarsour is the executive director of MPower Change, an American Muslim advocacy and organizing platform. According to its website, MPower Change seeks to empower American Muslims to translate their faith values into local, state, and national policies through grassroots organizing, political education, voter mobilization, and advocacy campaigns.
Linda Sarsour: “They told us that we couldn’t have a Democratic Socialist like Zohran Mamdani as the mayor of New York City. And what they don’t know is that we are people that do not take no for an answer. We’re also watching candidates all across this city – but also across the country – who are standing unequivocally for a free Palestine, winning elections all across this country.
“So not only are we going to clean up New York State with this slate, we’re also cleaning up Congress, from Chris Rabb to Dr. Frederick Haynes III, to Dr. Adam Hamawy, to Darializa, to Claire, and many, many more to come before the August 4th primaries.
[…]
“The first Palestinian-American New York State Senator, Aber Kawas. Free, free Palestine! Free, free Palestine!”
[…]
Aber Kawas: “We are going to pass the Not on Our Dime bill. And that is the bill that I helped write with then-Assemblymember Mamdani. And that is the bill that really was the cornerstone of why people saw consistency and dignity in his race.
[…]
“Lastly, we are going to stop the pipeline of weapons being shipped from our airports, our airports, here in Queens, to bomb people in Iran, in Gaza, in Yemen. No more!
[…]
“And let me tell you something: The people in Queens, they want a free Palestine.”

They are very socialist and very hostile to Trump, Israel and conservative Texans. They are very bossy and want to take over power. They have zero concern about our qualms.

Yes. It seems Islam’s biggest lie beyond its origin is that other Muslims care about “Palestinians”.

I do think muslims themselves do, at least in terms of wanting the Palis to take over all of Israel: after that, whether they are an independent state or a part of Jordan, Syria or Egypt, they don’t care (and honestly, neither do the Palis themselves). But the other people – non-muslim Leftists or other antisemites – don’t care about whether they get a state at all

Big talk for a small group.
There are approximately 4,446,380 Muslims in the United States, comprising a little more than 1% of the total US population.
The UK has approximately 4 million Muslims (6.5% of the population), Australia has about 813,392 Muslims (3.2%), Canada has about 1.6 million muslims (4.9%), New Zealand has about 75,144 muslims (1.5%).
In 2021 only 42 percent of Americans had a favorable opinion of Islam. In the UK more than half of people do not believe Islam to be compatible with British values. Only a quarter of Australians hold a positive view of Muslims. In Canada 2-in-5 (39%) held unfavorable views of islam.
Keep pushing and the unfavorable percentages will grow. Keep supporting rape torture murder and the unfavorable percentages will grow.

Linda Sarsour: ‘We’re cleaning up Congress’ with growing list of Muslim Representatives and candidates
……………………………………………….
“Cleaning up congress” by installing those who want to impose brutal Shari’ah law on us…
M says
Linda is actually born Christian Palestinian. Her husband converted her to Islam. I know this because one of our nuns is familiar with her background.
There is a vast contingent of these former Christian women who have joined in with the Muslim community to enact their agendas across the west.
What I find most disturbing is their apparent effectiveness compared to conservative Christians like ourselves in achieving their objectives.
While I am not opposed to immigration from these lands due to my religious beliefs, I do believe this could soon become a major problem for our western civilization. We also must keep in mind that we must have faith in the vision of our religious leaders first and foremost and not in political leadership.
There are of course many fly by night churches who lack historical pedigree in the west, this is I believe our main problem and the source of the ills of our civilization.
How many more Linda’s must we witness before we realize that unless we are unified in Christ in one Church (as was intended), we will only further be divided and mislead into misguided church doctrines, if they even understand what that is.
We must work to unify Christianity, not further divide it into feuding blocs.
gravenimage says
M, there *are* sadly dhimmi Christians who have embraced Islamic surpremacy–but Linda Sarsour was not one of them. She grew up in a devout religous Muslim household in Brooklyn. She was never Christian–not even nominally Christian.
I agree that Christians need unity now more than ever–but not specifically because of the sickening Linda Sarsour.
M says
Oh my! I sincerely apologize, it did not occur to me to fact check a normally very reliable source of knowledge.
I personally have some reasonable fears of what the limit is of how many peoples of this faith we can actually handle long term.
I understand different peoples of the world wish to come to our Christian nations, and I also understand what the positions are of our religious leaders, but have you personally thought to yourself what does a future scenario look like as you increase the Islamic population to 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and finally to 60 percent?
This was, dare I say, a verboten eureka moment for me personally that has caused me a fair deal of anxiety. It does make me very uncomfortable as well. Sometimes I begin to think, is this a trick of the devil himself? Should I just stick to my faith, to my Christian teachings which preach acceptance and forgiveness? Is this a test upon our society from God to see if we apply our Christian beliefs properly, or if we become evil, abandon our principles and turn away peoples in need?
I am very conflicted. But I it is horribly challenging to go back into the Cave once one has been outside of it. I whole heartedly understand how our religious leadership has come to their conclusion on this matter, but I simply can not help but utilize my reason, historical and sociological knowledge scream at me that this may not be what it appears and that a much different approach may be required.
Here is my reasoning. Very simply, it appears to that every instance in history, once the Islamic population ticks up, it results in a gain of political and social power for this group. But the issue is the power which they apparently have gained, it is utilized much differently than what is the norm of the system in place which the present native populations have been accustomed to.
What I cannot help but see is to think to myself, at what point does a nation such as France become one such as Lebanon? Perhaps I am oversimplifying, a perhaps I am incorrect and our religious leadership sees the nuance that the laywoman simply cannot glimpse due to time constraints on education herself on this complicated topic.
I am seeing a challenge for our faith that has not yet come onto our shore as it has in Europe. How can we properly follow our faith and permit the Muslim immigrants to come to our nations and begin to learn to share our values because our generosity is our proof that our values are the ideal that God created?
It is very difficult and challenging for me to witness what is happening in Europe at the moment. I do not feel good at all. And the factor that makes it ever more challenging for myself is that the people in my social circles appear to be extremely nervous to explore this topic in any meaningful sense.
We were all raised very well off, and we all very greatly appreciate our education and upbringing, because we have witnessed what evils others have been deceived to accept for themselves.
My friends are relatives, I suppose, they would rather outsource these considerations to the clergy, and simply accept their conclusions and therefore have faith that the conundrum finalizes in a positive result. I am not so confident in this approach any longer. We should not doubt our clergy, but there must be some way to address these concerns more meaningfully. How may more could we accept? Think about it? What if 300 million would like to come to our nation? What do we do morally? What is that number that the clergy would possibly deliberate upon an alternative opinion?
gravenimage says
That’s, OK, M–as I noted, there *are* dhimmi Christians–but not in Sarsour’s case.
And yes–I have long been concerned about the increasing Islamization of the West, especially Europe. We have seen how much worse things have gotten just in the oast couple of decades, and probably no European nation is more than 10% Muslim.
And M, Christianity is *not* a suicide pact–nor have Christians ever been told that the have to embrace evil. Opposing the savagery of Islam is no trick of the devil.
And there are a great number of devout Christians here at Jihad Watch–including Robert Spencer himself.
And have you ever noticed that most of the Muslim migrants to the West are military -aged single men from countries that are not at war? No refugee stream has *ever* looked like this. Where are the women, children, elderly, and disabled? And why do so many–not all, but a great many–reaching here start waging violent Jihad against us and demanding that we let them impose brutal Sharia law?
And *very few* Muslims who come here ever embrace our values–and many say that evern expecting them to do so is “Islamophobic”.
Christians defended Europe *for centuries* against the brutality of Islam–in Spain and Portogul, in Sicily and southern Italy, in Southern France, in Greece, in Eastern Europe. We don’t have to abandon our civilized values now, either.

Greater and lesser jihaad
26/Dhu al-Hijjah/1421 , 21/March/2001
73,391
Question 10455
Which is the greater jihad, jihad with one’s nafs or jihad in the battlefield ?
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah:
It was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him),
said to his companions when they returned from a military campaign, “We have come back from the lesser jihaad to the greater jihaad.” They said, “Is there any greater jihaad than jihaad against the kuffaar?” he said, “Yes, jihaad al-nafs (jihaad against the self).”
This hadeeth is not saheeh.
Undoubtedly jihaad against the self comes before jihaad against the kuffaar, because one cannot strive against the kuffaar until after one has striven against one’s own self, because fighting is something which the self dislikes. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Jihaad (holy fighting in Allaah’s Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allaah knows but you do not know”[al-Baqarah 2:216]
The point is that jihaad against the enemy cannot take place until one strives and forces oneself to do it, until one’s self submits and accepts that.
Fataawa Manaar al-Islam by Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him), 2/421
Ibn al-Qayyim said: “Jihaad is of four stages: jihaad al-nafs (striving against the self), jihaad al-shayaateen (striving against the shayaateen or devils), jihaad al-kuffaar (striving against the disbelievers) and jihaad al-munaafiqeen (striving against the hypocrites).
………………good website to learn details about islam

Ploome, I agree that the appalling Islam Q & A is a good place to see what Islam actually teaches. But note that this affirms that Jihad against unbelievers is one of the greatest acts in Islam.
Here is how much Islam loves dying while murdering Infidels:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “By Him in Whose Hands my life is! Were it not for some men amongst the believers who dislike to be left behind me and whom I cannot provide with means of conveyance, I would certainly never remain behind any Sariya’ (army-unit) setting out in Allah’s Cause. By Him in Whose Hands my life is! I would love to be martyred in Allah’s Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred.
And this *is* a Sahih Hadith:

The march of islam in America moves on. Our education system and government is being infiltrated by the muslim/islamic migration invasion of America. How is it that muslims/islamist who represent probably less than 1% of Americas population hold so many public offices from school boards, city councils, mayors of major cities to members of congress and the House of Representatives.
The billions of petroliom dollars flowing into America from islamic countries have bought the media, corporations, higher education and government officials.
The American voter needs to be vary knowledgeable about who they vote for. Islam is coming for you and the future of your children and grandchildren depend on you.
Beans🫘 says
How do they hold so many offices? Answer = white people.
The whites love to vote for a Muslim candidate and I don’t know why. Our new transplants here in Texas want Muslims to run things? Why? Because they’re so impressed with Palestine. In other words, impressed with Hamas.
If you’re not in Texas, you have no idea how fast things have changed in just two years. Muslims Muslims Muslims. They just keep coming and building mosques. And their allies, the leftists fromCA NY IL.

Turkish bases reignite fires west of Tal Tamr

The Turkish base located in the village of Laylan, in the western countryside of Tal Tamr, ignited a fire today in the vicinity of the village, leading to a widespread blaze that threatens crops and cultivated land in the area.
According to reports from the region, flames began spreading towards agricultural fields, raising concerns that they would extend to additional areas planted with wheat, especially given the weather conditions conducive to fire spread.
Emergency teams in Tal Tamr immediately declared a state of alert, dispatching vehicles and firefighting crews to the area in cooperation with local residents, in an attempt to control the fire and prevent it from reaching the crops, which constitute a primary source of income for the population.
This fire comes at a time when the rural areas of Tal Tamr and Zergan are experiencing a series of recurring fires ignited by Turkish occupation bases. These fires have caused significant losses to crops and private property in recent days, exacerbating the suffering of farmers as the harvest season draws to a close.
Emergency teams and local residents are continuing their efforts to extinguish the fire and limit its damage, amid fears that it could spread to additional agricultural areas in the western countryside of Tal Tamr.

When did a phobia stop meaning ,” irrational fear of…” And is now defined as “hate”?
Also look up the number of socialists in all governments. Federal, State, county and City.
Muslims are emulating the socialist. Infiltrate and subvert. Look up Yuri Bezmenov who was a KGB officer who defected to the West.
85% of KGB activity was subversive.
Subversion — A destructive, aggressive, activity aimed to destroy the target country.

Islam has tried to conquer the world since Muhammad invented it. Just like socialism couldn’t defeat the Christian West militarily… Islam learned how successful socialists were using infiltration and subversion.

Walter Sieruk says
Linda Saesour , by her very own words reveal that Islam is truly a political centered religion. That fact, about Islam is something that most Americans seen not be aware of.
Those Muslims in America who are also stealth jihadists scheme by “hook or by crook,” with insidious stealth jihad strategy along with much effort are striving to gain political office in the US in the stealth jihad for the advancement of Islam with its Sharia in America
Furthermore, one misconception that many Americans have is that of the term used in the West, which is “political Islam.” That term is nonsensical and redundant as well as unknown in the Islamic world.
Therefore, it needs to be made clear as to why that Western term is nonsensical and redundant. As explained by two statements.
First, as for that term being nonsensical one devout Muslim who, truly, proclaimed “Islam is Islam.”
Second. as for that term being redundant, has been well explained by none other Ayatollah Khomeini who declared” All Islam is politics.” [1]
