DC Whispers "Linda Sarsour has become something of a feminist celebrity here in the United States in recent years, most notably because she is Muslim and for her willingness to repeatedly attack Donald Trump publicly. This celebrity has allowed her to raise tens of millions of dollars for her Arab American Association, travel the world giving interviews and leading “feminist” marches like the ones that followed Mr. Trump’s inauguration early last year. Third-tier celebrities like Alyssa Milano have repeatedly applauded Sarsour’s efforts.
"Well, guess what? Apparently Linda Sarsour is no feminist but rather a stooge working for Muslim men who see her as merely a tool to further enact anti-women/anti-gay/anti-American policies here in the United States. Sarsour’s duplicity even goes so far as her allegedly overseeing the mistreatment of women she worked with by Muslim men who Sarsour then defended as “God-fearing.' ” .

. . . Fathelabab recounts how she came to Sarsour after being repeatedly sexually assaulted by a Muslim man who lived in the same building as the Arab American Association. Sarsour called her a liar, saying that the Muslim man was God-fearing, told her to stop complaining and threatened to write her up for disciplinary action.Sarsour further regularly body-shamed Fathelabab, saying that “something like this didn’t happen to women who looked like me” and threatened legal action against Fathelabab if she went public with the story. . . .Linda Sarsour accused of enabling sexual assault "Arab-American activist Linda Sarsour has been accused by a former employee of enabling sexual assault and harassment against her.
"Sarsour, who forever endeared herself to feminists for inspiring the Women's March on D.C., has now put women's rights activists in the uncomfortable position of either supporting her or throwing her under the bus.

"The pretzel logic it takes for feminists to embrace a woman whose religion excuses and even promotes unwanted sexual advances from men would be mystifying if we didn't know better. A faith that denies women personhood, identifying them as property and sexual objects, cannot be compatible with feminism under any circumstances.
. . .
"Sarsour needn't worry. This story – with the exception of Fox News and a couple of other outlets – has already disappeared down the rabbit hole. Asmi Fathelbab becomes perhaps the first woman who was sexually assaulted to be disbelieved and, moreover, whose story has been deliberately squelched to advance the political agenda of feminists. Inconvenient facts like this will not disturb the narrative of a heroic Arab-American woman battling oppression and the white male hierarchy. "
