Linda Sarsour raises funds for terror-tied group in name of COVID-19 pandemic

As the globe fights the battle against the deadly Coronavirus pandemic, people are coming together to help each other in these tiring times. Amid the efforts made by people from across the countries to help each other, Women’s March co-founder and Islamist activist Linda Sarsour kickstarted a fundraiser under the aegis of the pandemic. However, it has been alleged that the Sharia law apologist is making capital out of the Coronavirus pandemic to raise donations for American Islamic Relief Organization called Baitumaal USA, which has ties with the Islamist terror group Hamas.

Linda Sarsour has started the campaign to raise money for the terror organization through its “COVID-19 Emergency Fund and their support of the people of Gaza”.

As per reports, Sarsour's Baitulmaal organization has raised several eyes for its terror support. It is listed as a partnering organization with the Unlimited Friends Association for Social Development (UFA), which allegedly has ties with the terror group Hamas (as noted by the Middle East Forum).

Notably, Linda Sarsour has worked with terror-tied charities in the past. In 2019, she served as the keynote speaker at a number of fundraisers organized by Islamic Relief USA in the country to raise funds, including multiple “Promise for Palestine” tours. The Islamic Relief USA is an affiliate of the Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW) based in the United Kingdom, which is banned in several countries owing to its connections with international terrorist organizations.

In 2017, Sarsour raised funds for the 'Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund'. Later, when questioned about the details about the fundings, she posted the list of organizations where the money was directed. The list included the name of the Islamic Circle of North America, which reportedly, has close links to the terror organization Hamas. She has also invited support for Muhammad Allan in the past. Allan, a member of the terror group Islamic Jihad, has been known to recruiting suicide bombers.

Meanwhile, the global number of positive Coronavirus cases has crossed 12,88,000 with over 70,000 deaths worldwide as of April 7.
