Surely, CUNY Can Do Better!


When CUNY announced that the key note for one of their commencement ceremonies would be none other than Linda  Sarsour, patriotic “woke” Americans started talking about it. For those who are unaware of Sarsour, she promotes sharia law and claims to be an advocate for blacks, women and immigrants. However, she has also posted several tweets jealously attacking Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a black, immigrant woman. 

Sarsour has used Twitter to promote the virtues of Sharia to the American public. On May 13, 2015, she tweeted, “You’ll know when you’re living under Sharia Law if suddenly all your loans & credit cards become interest free. Sound nice, doesn’t it?” In November of 2014, she used Saudi Arabia’s three months paid maternity leave as a selling point for Sharia. However in early 2015, she tweeted, “FYI - mandated head covering for Muslim women in Saudi Arabia is the LEAST of their worries. Stop making it THE ISSUE. It’s not.” So, she also has some problems with being consistent.

One black immigrant, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, has stoked the coals within Sarsour. Sarsour who is lacking even a bachelor’s degree, has shown unrestrained jealousy and anger towards Ayaan. The Somali-born Ali speaks 6 languages, has a degree, has served in Dutch parliament, and truly advocates for women’s rights. In one infamous tweet from March of 2011, Sarsour tweeted out that Ali, and Lebanese-born Brigitte Gabriel should get a whippin’ and have their vaginas taken away. In 2012, she was expressing #MuslimRage at Ayaan, though she claimed she pitied her. In another tweet on the same day, she expressed more #MuslimRage that Ali had front page covers, which Sarsour did not have at the time. The religious Muslim community does not endorse Ali, who does not wear a hijab. Sarsour partnered with the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR) in order to discredit Ali.

Sarsour actively promotes Sharia law, lacks the accomplishments standard for keynote speakers, and throws hateful tantrums in public online spaces. These points have been clearly supported here. Furthermore, these are not actually the only reasons why she is wrong to keynote a commencement. The community has actively attempted to reason with CUNY about these sorts of issues. They refused to listen, so activist Pamela Geller organized a permitted, peaceful rally where five speakers, plus Ms. Geller spoke outside of CUNY headquarters.

Obama's "accomplishments"

I saw this on FB. I know some are true because I remember them being in the papers. Disclaimer some might not be, if so, let me know in the comments. A LIST OF OBAMA’S ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: First President to apply for college aid as a foreign student, then deny he was a foreigner.

OP-ED: My Experience at the Rally Against Pro-Terror Anti-Semite Linda "Cockroach" Sarsour

Because I have been following politics, I heard about Linda Sarsour from a non-Jewish source. Tomi Lahren interviewed John Guandolo about Sarsour . I think it was back in January. I heard that she was tied to Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood. I knew that wasn't good for me, as a Jew. I occasionally heard her name come up again. Then one day I was looking through these political articles I read and there it was like a punch in the stomach. She had been elevated to unearned commencement speaker by my own CUNY. I graduated from a CUNY school. I live in New York City. "Here? Here? Not here!" I found myself saying sitting in front of my computer. I watched to see when my fellow moderate right wingers would be speaking up. I was ready to sign a petition, go to a protest. I was ready. Eventually, a protest was announced. I thought, "I'm sure it's on Saturday and I can't go." I looked at the calendar and got very excited, "A Thursday-YES." It did...

The Rally Against Pro-Terror Anti-Semite Linda Sarsour

Last Thursday, May 25th, a midtown east block was overtaken by a rally and two counter-protests. The primary event was a rally hoping to get CUNY to change their mind about the key-note invitation to Hijabi Muslim activist Linda Sarsour, who is said have ties to terrorist groups like Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. The two counter-protest groups were the Neturei Karta and the “NO!” group. The rally was organized by activist Pamela Geller, president of American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI).  She also served as the presenter to the speakers for the event. The first speaker was NYS assemblyman Dov Hikind. Hikind is an Orthodox Jew and Zionist whose district is located in predominantly Hasidic Orthodox Boro Park, Brooklyn. The next speaker was John Guandolo whose knowledge about Sharia and Islam comes from a military and law enforcement background. Egyptian-born, Nonie Darwish passionately spoke about how she escaped Sharia. When she said she did not want to live unde...
