Recently, American activist Tygee Berry announced his conversion to Islam at the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Istanbul while participating in a protest against the genocide in Gaza.
Berry appeared in a widely circulated video, where he was seen reciting the Shahada, embracing Islam.
It is worth noting that Berry is a member of the American "Pink Code" movement, and he and his wife have been actively defending the Palestinian cause for years. The American activist came to Istanbul to participate in the "Freedom Flotilla," which is set to sail soon from Turkey to Gaza in an attempt to break the blockade imposed by the occupation.
French Coach
In Algeria, French coach Patrice Beaumelle (46 years old), the coach of the Mouloudia Alger football team, embraced Islam because of Gaza.
The Algerian newspaper "El Bilad" posted a video on the platform "X," showing Beaumelle at the "Jinan El Mabrouk" mosque in Algeria, announcing his conversion to Islam and changing his name to Amir.
In the same video, the sheikh who welcomed Patrice Beaumelle stated that the reason for his conversion was the events in Gaza, which led him to inquire about Islam, eventually leading him to embrace it.
