So why live here? To transform the U.S. into a “just” society, which would likely be a Sharia state.
“Muslim Nonprofit Legitimizes Violence and Suicide at ‘Vigil’ in Boston; Seeks to Suppress Reporting,” by Dexter Van Zile, Focus On Western Islamism, September 30, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
More than 200 protesters attended a rally in Boston Public Garden last Wednesday to hear speakers from a local Muslim organization use the rhetoric of martyrdom to affirm the suicide of a troubled leftist who recently immolated himself in front of the Israeli consulate in Boston. The organization, the Muslim Justice League (MJL), also legitimized a recent attack against a pro-Israel protester—who was able to defend himself—in nearby Newton, portraying the assault as a justifiable response to public support for Israel. To top it off, MJL speakers portrayed Marcellus Williams, a Missouri man executed the previous day for murdering a social worker, as a victim of “state murder.”
The MJL’s website describes the organization’s mission as to “organize and advocate for communities whose rights are threatened under the national security state in the United States. Led by Muslims, our organizing brings justice for ALL communities deemed ‘suspect.’” The organization oddly conflates Islamism and leftism.
[T]here is nothing this country hates more than justice. – Fatema Ahmad, executive director of the Muslim Justice League.
The organization, according to its website, was “formed by four Muslim women in Boston in 2014, in response to a pressing need for local Muslim-led defense of our communities’ human and civil rights against the ‘War on Terror.’” The organization has received support from the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation, and other long-established Boston-area foundations such as the Hyams Foundation, the Episcopal City Foundation, and the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee.
MJL protest organizers and participants sought to prevent this reporter from recording the September 25 event, as detailed below. Attempts of this kind are becoming a regular occurence at such rallies, a fact with worrying implications for press freedom, especially in the run up to the presidential election in November…. |
