This video of the Left's darling Linda Sarsour was taken during a panel discussion a year ago at New York's Union Theological Seminary called "Standing Up for Justice: Muslim Women in Action." It just popped up on social media.
To cheers from the audience, Sarsour said, "Our prophet was a racial justice activist, a human rights activist, a feminist in his own right. He was a man that cared about the environment. He cared about animal rights...He was also the first victim of Islamophobia."
Wow.
I'm going to take a slightly different stance on this. I am NO fan of Linda Sarsour. But I actually think she has got this one right. Islam needs to be understood in exactly the terms she defines. She is right that Islam needs to define itself as a socially just system which upholds women's rights, and human rights, and animal rights and environmental rights. That is exactly the thinking Islam (as a whole) needs. And it needs to come from within the Islamic community. And damn straight its should also come from women of the Islamic community. See, it is this sort of belief system which will lead to the self-examination and then the upheaval and transformation Islam needs to do in order to achieve the social justice, which, as she points out, is inherent in its faith. She even has a call to action.
We, as those who are (rightfully) skeptical of Islam's ability to model social justice, must listen to people like Ms. Sarsour. Not to reject her ideas -- but to support them and to insist upon this being demonstrated in RL. We must say, "show me". Not, "you are wrong" or, "you are a hypocrite" but, "show me".
Where she misses the point though, is in her willingness to become a martyr rather than doing the hard work of creating social justice as a reality within Islam. The desire to "fight and die" as an alternative to change is still too strong an ideology in Islam. In my opinion, of course.

Good post, thanks. People always ask where are the moderate Muslims. Then when one comes along she gets trashed. Here is another voice of reason Queen Rania of Jordan has also been very influential in the understanding of Muslims. Like Linda Sarsour, she happens to be a Palestinian in exile.
Lets start here and not from the hate we get from the haters.

"Like Linda Sarsour, she happens to be a Palestinian in exile."
Linda Sarsour is a "Pal'istanian in exile".
Where do you get this nonsense? She was born in Brooklyn.

Most Palestinians are not born in Palestine, so I don't see your point.

Why do you always post hate?It's nice when moderate Islamic terrorists ™can bond and share their adventures in Jew killing.

The Brooklyn-born Sarsour, daughter of Palestinian immigrants, shared the dais Sunday with another darling of the feminist “resistance,” Rasmea Odeh — convicted in Israel of killing two Hebrew University students in a 1969 terrorist attack and of planning an attack on the British Consulate. After her release, Odeh was able to immigrate to the United States by hiding her crime. She’s now being deported to Jordan.

She was raised to hate since childhood. It is simply part of the Israeli mentality...Why do you always post hate?It's nice when moderate Islamic terrorists ™can bond and share their adventures in Jew killing.

Pictures don't lie, Israeli shills do!No Israeli kids were raised with respect to soldiers, they're not being raised or used for suicide missions. Their mothers pray their children live a long happy life, soldiers to come home healthy - rather than become martyrs.
