Linda Sarsour “Oversaw Environment Abusive to Women,” Accused of Enabling Sexual Assault Against Woman Who Worked for Her

This shouldn’t surprise anyone, even though Linda Sarsour is a revered feminist icon. Remember: Sarsour is an open supporter of sharia. She claims that “Palestinian” women are being oppressed by Israel, but doesn’t have a word to say about the genuine oppression that Muslim women suffer because of sharia, which sanctions wife-beating, allows for polygamy, and opens the door to female genital mutilation and honor killing. That’s oppression. But Sarsour, the leader of the feminist movement, has never said a word about all that.

But this story does once again indict American feminists for their full-hearted and enthusiastic support of Sarsour, despite her pro-sharia misogyny. She only champions women when they’re useful for her propaganda: she used the Islamic honor murder of Shaima Alawadi to spread lies about the prevalence of hate crimes against Muslims in America, and never said a word about Islamic honor killing once the truth came out, that Alawadi had been murdered by her ...

Attorney warns that California celebrity lawyer could have violated election finance laws:

Lisa Bloom’s efforts to arrange undisclosed compensation during the 2016 presidential campaign for women accusing President Donald Trump of sexual harassment may raise a host of troubling legal ethics and election law worries for the California celebrity lawyer.

Mark Fitzgibbons, president of corporate affairs at American Target Advertising, headquartered in Manassas, Virginia, pointed to The Hill’s Friday bombshell report that the women’s rights lawyer arranged for public and prospective Trump accusers to receive compensation for coming forward through media outlets and political donors.

If political action committees and donors connected with 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton helped fund the compensation, Fitzgibbons warned that it would be "very troubling from a legal ethics perspective."

"All the trouble I have is Lisa Bloom as an attorney acting as a conduit to pay somebody to make ...

The Horror!

Miss Iraq, Sarah Idan, and her family had to flee their homeland after receiving death threats over a photo she posted online last month.

Why? Because Idan posed with Miss Israel, Adar Gandelsman, at a Miss Universe International Beauty Pageant, the Times of Israel reported.

Idan came under fire for posting the photo to Instagram, captioned, “Peace and Love from Miss Iraq and Miss Israel,” in addition to modeling a bikini.

“The two of those things together caused a mess for her back home where people made threats against her and her family that if she didn’t return home and take down the photos, they would remove her (Miss Iraq) title, that they would kill her,” Gandelsman told Israeli TV, the paper reported.

In another Instagram post, Idan apologized to those who thought the photo was “harmful to the Palestinian cause,” clarifying that it was not a political statement, but instead meant to “express hope and desire for ...

ARAPAHOE COUNTY, CO (Fox Denver 31) – A man suspected of groping teenage females near Arapahoe High School has been arrested after a surveillance operation, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.

Sergio Gallegos-Munoz, 40 of Denver, was booked into the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Detention Facility on Monday on three counts of sexual assault on a child and three counts of unlawful sexual contact.

The sheriff’s office said it had received several reports over a one-month period of a man having unlawful sexual contact with the teenagers near East Dry Creek Road and South University Boulevard, and inside a Starbucks store at 7521 S. University Blvd.

The females reported they were approached from behind by a man who then grabbed their buttocks.

About 6 a.m. Monday, investigators were conducting surveillance at...

Long Island, New York:

A woman is facing up to 110 years in jail after trying to send $150,000 in Bitcoin and altcoins to ISIS.

The New York Post reported how Zoobia Shahnaz fooled banks into giving her loans and credit cards, which she then used to purchase cryptocurrencies. The loan Shahnaz secured amounted to $22,500, while several credit cards contributed to a further $62,000 in cryptocurrency sent abroad to support the terrorist organization.

Shahnaz, a US citizen, previously worked as a lab technician in a Manhattan hospital. Last year she traveled to Jordan to work with the Syrian American Medical Society as a volunteer medic in Syrian refugee camps where, according to court documents, ISIS had “significant influence.”

In July of this year, the ISIS supporter was stopped and questioned in JFK Airport, apparently on her way to Syria and prevented from boarding. She was then arrested this Wednesday and charged with bank fraud and multiple counts of money laundering, Acting US Attorney Bridget Rohde said in a statement from the Department of Justice (DOJ) on Thursday.

The DOJ outlined Shahnaz’s activities as follows:

“...The defendant defrauded numerous financial institutions and obtained over $85,000 in illicit proceeds, which she converted to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. She then laundered and transferred the funds out of the country to support the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham [ISIS]”

The same statement claims that Shahnaz was prevented from accomplishing her goals in supporting ISIS, though to what extent remains unclear. In the statement, the FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge William F. Sweeney triumphantly stated:

“The FBI New York Joint Terrorism Task Force kept this woman from her dangerous and potentially deadly goal. We will do all we can to stop the next person hoping to do the same.”

According to the statement, if convicted, Shahnaz faces a maximum of 30 years for the bank fraud charge and 20 years on each money laundering count.

Crypto’s PR woes

The events are a blow to Bitcoin proponents, who have been trying to defend the cryptocurrency’s reputation from its birth. Bitcoin skeptics regularly claim that the cryptocurrency enables illicit activities, including money laundering and support of terrorism.

In terms of terrorism, analysts have found that cryptocurrency does not play a major role in funding terrorist organizations. However, Shahnaz’s case...
