MUSLIM ACTIVIST LINDA WAS IN THE NEWS RECENTLY AFTER HER
FUNDRAISING EFFORT RAISED OVER $100,000 FOR A JEWISH CEMETERY
IN MISSOURI THAT WAS ATTACKED BY
VANDALS.
POLICE IN NEW YORK ARE INVESTIGATING THREATS AGAINST
HER.
>>THAT IS
A REAL MAN RIGHT THERE.
>> IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE THE ACCUSATION AGAINST MUSLIMS IS
THAT THEY ARE VIOLENT, DANGEROUS, BUT THERE HAS BEEN SO
MUCH VIOLENCE GEARED TOWARD THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY.
YOU CAN'T
CLAIM MUSLIMS ARE VIOLENT AND THEY ARE TERRIBLE WHEN YOU
YOURSELF ARE GOING OUT INCITING VIOLENCE OR ACTUALLY ATTACKING
MUSLIMS.
THE THREATS WE GET OUR SUPER SPECIFIC, IT IS SCARY.
THEY DON'T GET INVESTIGATED BECAUSE COPS ARE NOT GOING TO
INVESTIGATE EVERY SINGLE THREAT AIMED TOWARD YOU.
IF YOU WANT TO
LOOK AT THE LARGER PICTURE ñ AGAIN, YOU CAN'T CLAIM THEY
ARE THE VIOLENT ONES WHEN YOU YOURSELF ARE THREATENING THEM
WITH VIOLENCE OR USING VIOLENCE AGAINST THEM.
>> AS ANA JUST GAVE YOU THE NUMBERS, DURING THE RISE OF
TRUMP AND EVEN BEFORE THAT ALL PROPAGANDA AGAINST MUSLIMS WAS
HAVING AN EFFECT.
IN 2014 SHE WAS HARASSED BY A MAN WHO
THREATENED TO CUT HER HEAD OFF.
POLICE INVESTIGATED AND CHARGED
HIM WITH A HATE CRIME.
THINK ABOUT ROLE REVERSAL.
IMAGINE IT
IS A MUSLIM MAN THAT FINDS A WHITE WOMAN OBJECTIONABLE AND
THREATENS TO CUT HER HEAD OFF?
WHAT WOULD THEY SAY ABOUT THAT
MUSLIM MAN?
AGAIN, IT IS NOT A DISPARITY IN THE TREATMENT FROM
AUTHORITIES BECAUSE THAT MAN WAS CHARGED WITH A CRIME.
IN THIS
CASE IMAGINE A MUSLIM MAN FINDS A WOMAN THAT HE DISAGREES WITH
AND SAYS WHERE DOES THAT BITCH LIVE?
WHAT YOU THINK HAPPENS TO
THAT GUY?
I'M NOT BLAMING AUTHORITIES, THEY ARE DOING A
GOOD JOB.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE PERCEPTION OF
THAT STORY?
WHEN RIGHT-WINGERS DO IT, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO THE
LAWFUL
RIGHT-WINGERS FROM THE COUNTRY?
YOU CAN'T DO IT, MAKES NO SENSE.
IT MAKES NO SENSE WHEN YOU
STIGMATIZE MUSLIM PEOPLE.
IN FACT IT ENCOURAGES THE WORST IN PEOPLE AND LEADS TO HATE
CRIMES AND THINGS LIKE THIS.
>> MOST OF THE HATE WE GET IS IN RESPONSE TO US DEFENDING MUSLIMS
LIKE THIS WOMAN.
THE THREATS ARE VICIOUS AND SPECIFIC.
THEY ARE
CRITICIZING AND THREATENING US WITH VIOLENCE BECAUSE WE ARE
PROTECTING OR AT LEAST DEFENDING A COMMUNITY THAT NEEDS TO BE
DEFENDED.
THERE ACCUSATION IS THAT THEY ARE VIOLENT AND
DANGEROUS.
TALKING ABOUT SENDING PEOPLE TO MY HOUSE TO RAPE ME
AND MURDER ME?
THAT IS VIOLENT.
UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR ACCUSATIONS AGAINST PEOPLE LIKE THIS
PERSON ARE PROJECTIONS OF WHO YOU ARE AS A PERSON.
>> BECAUSE IN THEIR HEARTS THEY AGREE WITH THE TERRORISTS.
THEY
ACTUALLY LOVE TERRORISM, THEY
JUST WANT IT TO BE WHITE RIGHT-WINGERS WHO DO IT AND
AGAINST PEOPLE THEY DON'T LIKE.
THEY LIKE THREATENING PEOPLE AND
IT HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
BY THE WAY THERE ARE RIGHT-WING
TRASH PUBLICATIONS THAT ENCOURAGE IT.
IT IS A VERY
SIMILAR LIST THAT POLITICO JUST REPORTED ARE USED
AS PROPAGANDA TO PROP UP TRUMP.
THEY DO PROPAGANDA TO PROP UP
THE RIGHT WING AND ATTACK ANY
CRITIC THAT THEY DON'T LIKE.
THIS WOMAN WORKED TO HELP BERNIE
SANDERS GET ELECTED.
IN THEIR HEART THEY THINK TERRORISM
IS
EXCELLENT.
SHE FIGHTS FOR JUSTICE, THAT IS WHY THEY CAN'T
STAND HER.
