This article is just chock full of insanity. It notes, importantly I think, the important role Muslims have played in pushing BLM lies, noting the contributions of such folks as Bassem Masri, who assaulted a police officer and chanted ‘pigs in a blanket, fry em like bacon'[see video above]. It makes a comparison between the BLM and Palestinians, and in that may also be apt, as they both constantly lie about the facts to push their agendas. This article even claims there was no ‘sin’ committed by Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice and Mike Brown justifying police killing them, apparently not caring that Martin wasn’t killed by the police and attacked a man, Rice appeared to be armed and Brown attacked Officer Wilson.

The #BlackLivesMatter movement has been able to highlight the issue of police brutality against Black Americans, with a public exposure past activists could only dream about. For the one-third of the American Muslim community that is Black, this exposure has been a sigh of relief.
There has been much support for #BlackLivesMatter among American Muslims. Baltimore activist, Tariq Toure, sparked the #NoJusticeNoLebron hashtag, calling for Lebron James to not play basketball until the murderers of 12-year old Tamir Rice are convicted. Toure is just one of many Muslims involved. Basheer Jones leads the Cleveland Renaissance Movement. Linda Sarsour took part in a 9 day #MarchForJustice from New York City to Washington DC. Bassem Masri was on the ground livestreaming from Ferguson from the dawn of the protests. The chant of Baltimore teen and poet, Mohammed Tall,”I got a target on my body, somebody please protect me,” is an anthem for #BlackLivesMatter activists in his city.
Despite this strong support from many American Muslims, some in the American Muslim community still reluctantly ask: Why is #BlackLivesMatter our movement?
Most importantly, #BlackLivesMatter is our movement because Islam, from the beginning, took a stand against senseless violence. The Prophet Muhammad(Peace be Upon Him) came to a people who would bury their newborn daughters alive. The Quran speaks against this barbaric practice, saying, “And when the girl who was buried alive is questioned for what sin she was killed, when the record is laid open…then each soul should know what is has brought”(Quran 81: 8-14).
