Who is this self-proclaimed transgender Antifa Muslim protesting at Charlie’s funeral?

Outside of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s memorial service this Sunday was a small band of protesters.

Included among these handful of protesters — versus the hundreds of thousands who showed up to attend Kirk’s memorial — was a self-proclaimed transgender Antifa Muslim named Sumayyah Dawud.

Now, just for clarification, actual Muslims in the Middle East would probably stone this delusional fool to death.

In fact, he was “banned from his mosque in 2015 under the condition that he either attend dressed as a man or provide medical documentation to prove that he is anatomically female,” according to the New York Post.

Yet there he was in the picture on the right with his Muslim garb:

“Dawud, an apparent professional protester known for holding solo demonstrations across Arizona, showed up bright and early at Kirk’s Sunday memorial and was captured waving a Palestinian flag with the Black Lives Matter logo,” the Post reported.

“Go back to Europe, colonizer, this is stolen indigenous land!” the deluded fool reportedly yelled at the memorial’s attendees.

And yet, despite being full of hateful nonsense, he had the audacity to accuse Kirk’s supporters of being the hateful ones.

“Some of the most hateful people spotted outside the Charlie Kirk event this morning,” he reportedly wrote on Instagram.

The irony could not be richer, given that Dawud is so full of hate that he reportedly celebrated Kirk’s assassination and murder, writing on social media that he’d been “praying that he dies” and that Kirk’s “preferred pronouns” were “updated to was/were.”

Plus, according to investigative journalist Andy Ngo, Dawud — whose real name is reportedly Eric Austin — is also an alleged murderer.

“Dawud, a trans-identifying male born as Eric Austin, and previously known as Britney Erica Austin, has been identified as the alleged person of interest in the shooting death of Phoenix man, Paul Franco,” Ngo reported for The Post Millennial last summer.

“Franco was shot and killed in front of his apartment in Phoenix after getting into a fight with the group of pro-Palestine protesters who entered his gated apartment complex. His girlfriend, Stephanie Renteria, told local media he was shot dead while trying to protect her,” Ngo’s report continued.

Dawud claimed self-defense afterward. It’s not clear why he hasn’t been charged yet, though Franco’s family has alleged it’s because local police and prosecutors are afraid of him:

Ngo noted that Dawud was also part of “a pro-Palestinian mob that harassed a Scottsdale restaurant in June for having Israeli products.”

And he was reportedly also super active during the violent, deadly Black Lives Matter riots of 2020.

Dawud “was among a group of 18 extremists who threw incendiary devices at police during an October 2020 direct action in downtown Phoenix,” Ngo reported.

He was arrested during that riot while reportedly wielding a semi-automatic rifle and covering up his face with a burka.

Speaking of the burka, Dawud has been rejected by Muslim civil rights groups for being transgender. He was also reportedly kicked out of a mosque for trying to pray in the women’s section.
