Anti-Israel activist Linda Sarsour at CAIR conference: 98% Of Muslim converts in Brooklyn converted thanks to Gaza; The Palestinians have done more for American Muslims than vice versa; This U.S. Administration is not playing around – the darkness has just begun, some of us will be sacrificed
Activist Linda Sarsour, executive director of MPower Change, said in a September 19, 2025 panel at a Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) conference in Washington, D.C., that God was not testing the people of Gaza, but rather Muslims in the United States, and the question was what they were doing "to prevent a genocide."
She added that "the darkness has just begun," and that it will affect some Muslims in the U.S., who "will be sacrificed for the cause."
Sarsour said that Palestinians have done more for American Muslims than American Muslims have ever done for Palestinians.
