CMAA members say their support for Israel’s existence has triggered personal attacks.
“I myself have been called many names the minute I challenge Islamism, political Islam, and Islamists,” said Deen, founder of the Muslim Women Speakers Movement, and co-founder of the San Fernando Valley Interfaith Solidarity Network. “I’m called a Zionist. A Jew lover. And they often say, ‘She’s paid by the Zionists.’ And the blanket indictment is that all Jews are responsible for anything and everything the government of Israel does.”
Deen cited radical imams inside the United States who prayed for Zionists to be annihilated.
