Linda
Sarsour, social justice and immigrant rights activist Rally for Colin
Kaepernick outside NFL headquarters, New York, USA - 23 Aug 2017 (Rex

Women's
March co-founder Linda Sarsour is "empowering" the radical Islam that
oppresses women across the world, inspiring sex slavery, child marriage,
and female genital mutilation, a best-selling author and women's rights
activist told PJ Media on Friday.
"Linda
Sarsour is promoting Sharia law and misleading Americans," Rabia Kazan,
a best-selling author and president of the Middle Eastern Women's
Coalition, told PJ Media on Friday. "She never mentions child marriage,
genital mutilation, or honor killings."
"She's
empowering their side, not us," Kazan said. "She's encouraging these
barbaric people. She's encouraging them and contributing to them, to
women being sold and girls being raped everyday."
The Middle Eastern Women's Coalition will endorse President Donald Trump for 2020 on Tuesday.
Kazan
described the dire state of women in the Middle East. "Women and
children are suffering under Sharia law and in the Middle East. Our
girls are being sold into sexual slavery every single day," she added.
"Four-year-old babies are being sold to ISIS. Little girls aged seven to
fourteen are being sold as child brides. This is pedophilia and rape by
marriage."
Under
the influence of people warning about "Islamophobia," the "whole world
is thinking they are volunteers," and Linda Sarsour is leading this
effort.
"How
many of us have to die?" she asked. "How many of us have to be raped
before you take an action? Silence is killing us and President Trump is
speaking."
"Women
like Linda Sarsour are misleading Americans to think that all women in
the Middle East are happy to wear headscarves and to be slaves," Kazan
said. "She's the one who is helping the people who are doing this to
us."
"She is encouraging
those barbaric people in their torture, terror, rape," the women's
rights advocate argued. "She's helping them. She's not defending our
rights at all."
"Shame on
her. All the child brides and all honor killing victims, genital
mutilation victims shame Linda Sarsour," the Middle Eastern Women's
Coalition president declared. "She has done nothing for us."
Sarsour has
defended the institution of Sharia (Islamic law) in civil law. While she
has condemned abuses like female genital mutilation, activists like
Kazan claim that she is actually abetting these horrors by focusing her
activism on Trump, rather than the Islamic State (ISIS) and the
oppressive governments that institute oppression for women.

In particular,
Kazan spent years undercover, interviewing victims in Iran. "I went
undercover and interviewed 200 women who were forced into prostitution
under temporary marriage, one-night marriage," she told PJ Media. She
recalled that liberals "didn't cover my campaign because I was
'Islamophobic.'"
Sarsour, a supposed women's rights activist, has declared a "jihad" against President Trump. A former employee has also accused Sarsour of directly covering up a sexual assault, defending the abuser as a "good Muslim." Last month, the founder of the Women's March called on Sarsour and three others to step down due to anti-Semitic and anti-gay remarks.
