"You'll know when you're living under Sharia Law if suddenly all your loans & credit cards become interest free. Sound nice, doesn't it?"[1] "Brigitte Gabriel = Ayaan Hirsi Ali She's asking 4 an a$$ whippin'. I wish I could take their vaginas away - they don't deserve to be women."-- Linda Sarsour, March 8, 2011 |

Linda Sarsour (born 1980) is a Palestinian-American political activist and former executive director of the Arab American Association of New York. She was one of the organizers of the 2017 Women's March.
Following the 2017 Women's March, Sarsour was the focus of scrutiny for statements she had made in previous years on Twitter. Somali-born activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali called Sarsour a "fake feminist" and a "defender of sharia law" for a 2011 tweet in which Sarsour wrote, "I wish I could take their vaginas away", referring to Ali and Brigitte Gabriel, leader of the lobbying group ACT! for America. The tweet, which was later deleted, was nevertheless circulated afterward by Sarsour's critics as supposed evidence of her intolerant views.
