The American Civil Liberties Union just hit a new low.
The organization that claims to be the “nation’s guardian of liberty” and defender of Constitutional rights proudly announced it was supporting Muslim supremacist, Linda Sarsour.

In a piece on the ACLU website titled, “Muslim, American, & Intersectional: The Activism of Linda Sarsour,” the Women’s March organizer is celebrated for her left-wing causes and for being part of a “new breed of Muslim activists.”
The anti-semitic sharia advocate, who last week issued a call for Muslims to resist President Trump as a form of “jihad,” or holy war, also urged her fellow Muslims not to assimilate into American culture. Sarsour had previously partnered with the ACLU in a lawsuit in New York alleging “unlawful police spying” against Muslims.
When questioned, the ACLU defended itself.

You know, was thinking of making a donation to you until I saw this. She is divisive.

Sorry to lose your donation but we still stand with Linda Sarsour. #IStandWithLinda https://t.co/md6XPvGb5H

Can you give us details on why you stand with Linda Sarsour?
— Natalie Roth (@nateroth) July 11, 2017
She fights for civil rights and civil liberties. Here’s a profile of @lsarsour for our magazine to learn more: https://t.co/6QYWtVabw9 https://t.co/910WSxDlZM

apparently you don’t read much of what she writes.
— AnxyAnarchist (@Liberty8691) July 11, 2017
Sarsour hardly seems like a model for civil rights and the ACLU was deservedly scorched for its stand.
Seriously? You apparently know very little about her at all.

Not sure how you came to this judgment @ACLU, you might want to dig a little deeper. @lsarsour‘s own words do not support personal #liberty!

Women’s rights activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali had condemned Sarsour earlier this year as a “fake feminist” while anti-Sharia and women’s rights activist, Brigitte Gabriel, has equally eviscerated the woman who had once tweeted that she wished she could take away the two women’s vaginas because “they don’t deserve to be women.”

Whatever the ACLU was thinking, it is clear from this latest “stand” with Sarsour that the organization has a long way to go in actually defending the civil liberties and freedoms it claims to fight for.
Do you also stand with her smears of “Zionists” and her call for the removal of @Ayaan‘s vagina? https://t.co/VzsIYtWiWU

Irony: An organization called the American Civil Liberties Union promoting Islamist @lsarsour. @ACLU pic.twitter.com/Y6zjiLfD3l

Of course the ACLU stands with a Jew-hating, misogynistic, and anti-American scumbag. https://t.co/w6qd5Ri1uK

Social media delivered a well- deserved backlash.

ACLU, you are letting us down. Please check with whom you are in bed.

I set up my donation to defend civil liberties in a time I felt they were specifically under fire, not to promote Antisemites. https://t.co/uH6ul3Bm49

A Christian florist served a gay man for 9 years and ACLU is suing her for not doing his wedding. Sarsour endorses Sharia & ACLU lauds her. https://t.co/KXRUbxK2mz

Has the definition of “civil rights” been downgraded to mean paid maternity leave is better than being able to leave the house and drive? pic.twitter.com/RuWGE5aq1k

When she supports my right to be a Jewish feminist with any beliefs I want re Israel, she’ll be worth lauding. Wrong choice for an icon now.

Ugh. No. Just no. She’s not that at all.
