American-Palestinian political activist Linda Sarsour said at a "Faith & Freedom Sunday" event held at the Community of Hope church in District Heights, MD that in Islam, one's day of death is already decreed when one is born, adding: "So the opposition don't got no power over my last day... In fact, I would be honored to die a martyr." Sarsour's speech was posted to the Hiphopenationtv YouTube channel on February 17, 2025.
