At a 2025 CAIR conference, activist Linda Sarsour claimed that the war in Gaza is driving a wave of religious conversions among Americans, stating that a large percentage of Muslim converts in Brooklyn were inspired by events there.
She argued that Palestinians have contributed more to American Muslims than the reverse, framing Gaza as a source of spiritual awakening.
Sarsour also delivered a stark warning, saying that “the darkness has just begun” and that some Muslims in the US would be “sacrificed” for the cause. Her remarks suggest an escalation in rhetoric, blending religious messaging with a sense of looming confrontation and hardship tied to the broader Middle East conflict.
