Far-left activist Linda Sarsour allegedly enabled sexual assault against a woman who worked for her at the Arab American Association in 2009. Sarsour then threatened the alleged victim with legal action if she went public with the claims.
Daily Caller reports:
Allegations of groping and unwanted touching were allegedly brought to Sarsour during her time as executive director of the Arab American Association. In response, Sarsour, a self-proclaimed champion of women, attacked the woman bringing the allegations, often threatening and body-shaming her, these sources alleged. […]
“She oversaw an environment unsafe and abusive to women,” said Fethelbab, a former employee at the Arab American Association. “Women who put [Sarsour] on a pedestal for women’s rights and empowerment deserve to know how she really treats us.” […]
At the time, Sarsour was the executive director of the organization. Fathelbab worked for Sarsour for almost a year, according to employment documents reviewed and authenticated by TheDC. […]
The problems began in early 2009 when a man named Majed Seif, who lived in the same building where the Arab American Association offices are located, allegedly began stalking Fathelbab.
“He would sneak up on me during times when no one was around, he would touch me, you could hear me scream at the top of my lungs,” Asmi Fathelbab tells TheDC. “He would pin me against the wall and rub his crotch on me.”
“I ran the youth program in the building and with that comes bending down and talking to small children. You have no idea what it was like to stand up and feel that behind you. I couldn’t scream because I didn’t want to scare the child in front of me. It left me shaking,” added Fathelbab.
Sarsour threatened “legal damage,” if she dared to go public with the allegations.
Sarsour recently raged against a Supreme Court decision to uphold President Trump’s travel ban that applies to visitors from Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen, along with officials from North Korea and Venezuela.
“Here we go. White supremacist agenda continues. #NoMuslimBanEver,” tweeted Sarsour.

“In light of #MuslimBan announcement: if you are traveling to JFK, call (844)326-4940 and/or email [email protected] for legal consultation and support. #NoMuslimBanEver,” added the left-wing activist.

Speaking at ISNA’s 54th Annual Convention, Linda stated in July that Muslims have “No need to assimilate” and that fighting the Trump Administration is a form of Jihad, as reported The Gateway Pundit’s Cristina Laila.

“And I hope that when we stand up to those who oppress our communities,” Sarsour told the crowd, “that Allah accepts from us that is a form of Jihad! That we are struggling against tyrants and rulers–not only abroad in the Middle East…but here in the Unites States of America where you have fascists and white supremacists and Islamophobes reigning in the White House.”
