Linda Sarsour acknowledged that CAIR funds Zohran Mamdani’s campaign

Controversy Surrounds Linda Sarsour’s Remarks on Muslim Money in Politics

Activist Linda Sarsour has sparked criticism after claiming that Muslim money played a central role in the political rise of New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani. In her own words, Sarsour stated that “it’s Muslim money” and highlighted that over 80% of Muslim-American donors support Mamdani, while also noting that CAIR’s Super PAC, the Unity and Justice Fund, was his largest institutional backer.

Critics argue that Sarsour’s comments feed sectarian narratives and suggest an unhealthy overlap between religious identity and political funding. Others question the implications of emphasizing faith-based financial influence in American politics, warning that such rhetoric could deepen social and political divides rather than promote genuine representation.
