AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): A British activist named Rachel publicly announced her conversion to Islam during a pro-Palestinian demonstration in London after she was inspired by the faith and resilience of oppressed people in Gaza.
In a video widely circulated on social media, Rachel recounted her journey to Islam, explaining how a question from her daughter became a turning point, Al Jazeera reported.
Her daughter had asked about the secret behind the resilience of Palestinians in Gaza, who continue to endure hardship and oppression. Rachel said she responded by attributing their strength to their unwavering faith in Islam.
Rachel has been an active participant in pro-Palestinian rallies since October 7, 2023, when the Israeli aggression on Gaza began. These demonstrations have called for an immediate ceasefire in response to ongoing Israeli wars in the region.
Reflecting on her experience, Rachel expressed her admiration for the steadfastness and perseverance demonstrated by Gazans, describing their behavior as a source of inspiration for many people in the United Kingdom. She also remarked, “Islam is clearly the religion of truth.”
The announcement comes amid ongoing large-scale demonstrations across London, where tens of thousands continue to gather in solidarity with Palestinians and to advocate for an end to the Israeli aggression against Gaza. Protesters have consistently called for international intervention and a humanitarian ceasefire to address the worsening crisis.
The genocidal Israeli war on Gaza has killed at least 45,317 Palestinians and wounded 107,713 in the past 14 months, with the majority of victims being women and children.
