A message of support to our sister Linda Sarsour

Linda Sarsour, executive director of the Arab American Association and co-organizer of the Women's March, has come under serious attack by Islamophobes, Zionists and bigots. The American  Muslims for Palestine believes we need to build each other up and support each other, especially in our work for Palestine and civil rights. Here is a letter we sent Linda today.

Dear Linda:

 You have become the beacon of hope for so many Muslim Americans as well as a catalyst who spurs people on to positive action. The American Muslims for Palestine truly appreciates your tireless efforts on behalf of communities impacted by racism and bigotry and for standing up for Palestinian rights. You have a major platform where you can affect much good.

 We are writing to offer you our unconditional support in the face of the bigotry and attacks you’re enduring currently. We know that any Muslim, particularly Palestinian American Muslims who are visible and politically active, are always targets for hatred and silencing tactics and we’re sorry you are going through this right now because of your excellent work helping to organize the Women’s March on Washington.

 We pray for your protection and we pray that Allah SWT grants you patience and comfort during these difficult days. AMP is here for you and stands ready to support you in any way we can.

 Sincerely,

 The American Muslims for Palestine
