Texas Islamic 'scholar' Yasir Qadhi at Islamic conference discusses Anti-Israel student protests: “Victory is long term,” Thousands of Americans are embracing Islam; U.S. freedoms make Muslims “more powerful than any entity and government on Earth”
At an Islamic conference titled Mercy to Mankind, held in Warren, Michigan in May 2024 by the Miftaah Institute, Texas-based Islamic scholar Yasir Qadhi of the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) spoke about Islam’s growing presence in America and the role of campus activism in driving conversions.
He emphasized that American freedoms allow Muslims to speak openly and organize without fear, stating that “they cannot shut our voices down,” and that this environment enables Muslims to become “more powerful than any entity and government on the face of this earth.”
Dr. Qadhi, chairman of the Fiqh Council of North America and prominent leader of the U.S. Muslim community, said that thousands of people in the U.S. are embracing Islam, attributing this surge to the momentum of anti-Israel protests and the activism of Muslim students.
