CUNY in Hot Water with Jewish Leaders over Commencement Speaker’s Sharia Law Support

CUNY in Hot Water with Jewish Leaders over Commencement Speaker’s Sharia Law Support

Share this article

Linda Sarsour, an anti-Trump and radical feminist activist who supports sharia law (i.e. fundamental Islamic law), will be speaking at the City University of New York graduation ceremony for their public health department. The invitation received negative attention as Jewish leaders are unhappy with Sarsour as the speaker.

Sarsour’s pro-sharia law and anti-Israeli stances are well-documented, and Jewish leaders wonder why she was invited to speak at a graduation ceremony.

She was also one of the top organizers at the anti-Trump Women’s March on Washington.
