It looks as if this guy got in too deep with matters he knew nothing about, and is now trying to cover his tracks. That would explain his rage at those asking him questions about this.
“GOP Rep. Cory Mills explains why he was married by a radical Islamic cleric,” by Peter Gietl, The Blaze, May 7, 2025:
An unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 WTC bombing and Hamas fundraiser officiated the wedding of a prominent Republican congressman. And the story gets much stranger.
Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.), a rising star in Republican circles and on TV news, told Blaze News he was married by a radical Muslim cleric but did not realize it at the time.
Mills rocketed to the heights of political celebrity over the past four years, thanks to his television appearances, several high-profile rescues of Americans from Israel, Afghanistan, and Haiti, and the support of President Donald Trump. Mills was an Army medic from 1999 to 2003 and a private subcontractor in Iraq and the Middle East from 2005 to 2009. He has represented Florida’s East Coast 7th Congressional District since 2022, when he rode Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ “red wave” into office.
Running on a pro-Christian, America First platform, Mills’ website says: “Cory is a father, patriot, combat veteran, entrepreneur, foreign policy expert, and true American conservative.”…
Blaze News reached out for comment from both Mills and Al Saadi to set the record straight, asking for confirmation concerning their religious status and the officiant of their wedding. Rana Al Saadi has not responded.
In a combative, often heated, near hour-long phone call with Blaze Media editor Peter Gietl, Mills confirmed he was married by Al-Hanooti, but vehemently denied converting to Islam. “It’s pretty pathetic. This attempt has been used so many times, and it’s baffling to me. Not to mention the fact that I am a Christian — I’m not an Islamophobic. I’ve lived in Middle Eastern cultures. I think that the radicalized stuff is pretty harmful and disgusting, but I would say that on any side of things. But this has been attempted so many times. And it’s just downright offensive at this point,” Mills stated.
It is unclear how many times anyone has “attempted” to ask Mills about his marriage certificate other than during his congressional primary race. While few paid attention at the time, Sabatini and his supporters were called “bigots” by supporters of Mills for bringing the certificate and related issues up in the race.
Mills said that asking these questions was out of bounds. “And I don’t think you guys understand, because I spent 10 years in the culture in that region. You guys need to educate yourself, because you come across very ignorant, bigotry, and it just makes you guys sound very, very, I guess, lack of American plurality.”…
Al-Hanooti had deep ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and the Palestinian militant group Hamas. According to a 2003 FBI memo cited in reports by the Investigative Project on Terrorism and Global Muslim Brotherhood Watch, Al-Hanooti was believed to be a key fundraiser for Hamas in the United States. His associations, along with his rhetoric, cast a long shadow over the mosque even after his departure.
Mills sets the record straight?
These facts were all well known in 2014, when the then-77-year-old Al-Hanooti, serving as mufti of the D.C. area, officiated the marriage of Mills and his wife and listed the Dar Al-Hijrah mosque as his address. Since Mills has publicly presented himself as Christian for years, people who first encounter the document are puzzled. According to the mosque’s website, the individuals it marries must be Muslim. A few weeks ago, after Blaze News called the mosque inquiring about the certificate, this requirement was apparently removed from the website.
At least one associate of Mills, speaking on background for fear of reprisal, told Blaze News that Mills became a practicing Muslim after marrying Al Saadi.
Although it seems highly unlikely that a mufti like Al-Hanooti would officiate a marriage of a non-Muslim, Mills says that the situation was complicated….
Blaze News reached out to Robert Spencer, the founder and editor of Jihad Watch and one of the country’s foremost experts on radical Islam, on whether Mills could have been married there without converting to Islam.
It doesn’t sound plausible. Al-Hanooti had multiple ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. … Any imam who had their approval, and who approved of the Brotherhood, had to be well versed in Sharia and loyal to its provisions.
Sharia stipulates that a Muslim woman may not marry a Christian or any other non-Muslim man. This is based on the Qur’an. … A Muslim man may marry a Christian woman … but a Muslim woman cannot marry a Christian man and become part of his household, for then the Christian community would grow at the expense of the Muslim one, and Islam must dominate.
Thus it is virtually certain that Al-Hanooti, as a knowledgeable and believing imam, required Mills to convert to Islam before he married Rana Al Saadi.
Spencer speculates that maybe “the whole thing was quick and involved Mills saying the shahada in Arabic at the mosque with little understanding of what he was saying, or interest in the proceedings, so he can dismiss it now and may not have even realized what he was doing, but he wouldn’t have been able to marry Al Saadi otherwise .”…

I watched mills being interviewed by Glenn Beck. He’s either a very artful liar, or he knows nothing about islime. the no-nothing part seems doubtful re his living years among the “culture.”
There are a lot of women of marriageable age in Florida who are not dedicated to the evils of islime. Shame on this pretender for becoming “unevenly yoked with an unbeliever,”….and an adherent of islime to boot.
The only way he isn’t going against Paul’s advice about marriage, is if he converted.
“Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness?”

True. Cory Mills may not have realized what he had gotten into, but he must have at last nominally converted to Islam. This was not a civil ceremony.
D Hals says
“True. Cory Mills may not have realized what he had gotten into,”??

He converted and/or is working with these jihadists
He attacks with bigotry and phobia

I checked Twitter and he allows no responses, leading one to question what he wants to hide. What about the ruling against Trump that elected officials must allow comms? “Second Circuit Court of Appeals Ruling: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the district court’s decision in 2019, stating that Trump’s Twitter account was a public forum, and therefore, blocking users based on their viewpoints was unconstitutional.”
What actual Christian performs the religious rites of a religion that calls for the slaughter of Christians? What actual Christian recites others’ creeds without even questioning?
somehistory says
Those are things that tell me *he is not Christian.* If he ever was, he is not now. and I doubt that he ever really was someone who *Knows* Christ.
and he evidently, as is true of other mozlums, can’t stand the heat from people who would question him.
Hoi Polloi says
No wonder he just shrieks BIGOTRY! The truth will cost him.
somehistory says
mozlums fear and hate Truth, just as they fear and hate Christians and Jews.
Followers of satan, are doing his desires and imitating him as children do their father.
SKA says
Why a practicing Christian would marry a Muslim woman at all beggars comprehension. If anything the woman should have converted to Christianity. If this man is so conversant in the culture of the region, as he accuses others of being ignorant thereof, he must also be conversant with the meaning of the shahada and that if he recites it with conviction he becomes ipso facto Muslim. So is his professing to be Christian an act of taqiya, another concept with which he must be conversant? Or is he a “munafiq” – term for “hypocrite” meaning one who professes Islam while not practicing or believing in it? Either he is ignorant or he is a deceiver and in neither case fit to represent his district.
D Hals says
Are his being raised Muslims?
Does his family attend Church?
Mills is full of it.
That radical imam Would Not marry a muslim woman to a non-muslim.
It is against all ah’s law (sharia law)

Mills needs to wake up and smell the camels get his story straight. He didn’t know? I find that to reek of baloney. If all of what he said is true, why is he so defensive? And, if we’re so ignorant, how did he not know that the imam is a radical? Sad thing is that a lot of these guys are getting married to these cutie moslem women and are not realizing that they’ve just paid to get into the Gates of Hell.

rick says
If this fellow can marry in an Islamic marriage and repeat phrases in a language he doesn’t know and may be saying things that he will later disallow, that doesn’t say much about his being aware of the reality around him. He may have converted and no know it. Would he vote for a bill in Congress if it wanted to fund things the exact opposite of what he wanted? Doubt it but maybe this guy is not so careful about where he puts his signature.
This is a weird story and Rep. Cory Mills better qualify things for himself first and find out who he is because if he married as a Muslim, converted to Islam to do it and used a radical Muslim for the officiating at his marriage, he better get a reality check on himself.

He has obviously converted.
First thing out of his mouth is izlom a phobia and bigotry.
He is obviously a national security risk and should be voted out of office.

Look at the guy’s beard… A sure sign he’s a convert.

Rampant Islamopandering
AK says
I live in Cory Mills district and have done a 180. His voting record and actions as an elected official have been those of a Constitutional Conservative and MAGA Trump supporter.
I’ve seen him drinking beer at his events and proudly identifying as a Christian. Mills is an outspoken supporter of Israel, which carries significant weight in my book. Whatever concerns I had about him reverting to Islam to marry his now Muslim ex-wife have disappeared based on his deeds and words as my representative.
I will continue to vote for Cory Mills until his actions dictate otherwise.
D Hals says
“…on his deeds and words as my representative”??
You sound like a lying p o s moon zlime yourself
You obviously know that moon zlimes can lie and deceive non-mu zlimes
Thank You for showing just how demonic iz lame is.

“…about him reverting to Islam to marry…”??

I am not into this Islamic Sexual Jihad where Muslim females marry a non Muslim political leader in a non-Islamic State.
I understood this is allowed during the House of War to deceive as long as it serves Allah.
The only thing a Muslim is never permitted to do is speak negatively about Mohammad.
Huma Abedin would certainly be serving Allah by marrying Alex Soros, the son of a billionaire.
So-called influential males from various careers, like George Clooney married a Muslim lawyer from the U.K.
It’s similar to this nonsense of Interfaith Sharing between Christian, Jewish, and Muslim faith leaders all across this nation, this only serves Allah as well.
Cory Mills is a matter of National Security.
Serving Allah in America is a matter of National Security.
Mohammad was a warlord, Mrs. Mills would never speak those words out loud.
Mr. Mills most certainly has been trained not to go there as well.
somehistory says
anthony weiner was married to the abedin first….and leaked government stuff to her.
buddyboy237 says
Rana Al Saadi Mills’ wife served in Trump’s first administration.
Watching Trump cozy up to the Islamic community has some roots to it, including Jihadists in Dearborn.
It’s no wonder people like Robert Spencer and many other experts on Sharia are not allowed access to Trump for a briefing on the matter.
No one can say, ” Not all Sharia is terrorism.”

Thanks for that info, Buddyboy

Marriage between Turks and Germans says
A Muslim woman can’t marry a Catholic, he has to change his religion, said a German man who marry a Turkish woman.
Nor was a German female Satanist valid for marrying a Muslim man.
Maia says
She is violating the rules of Islam because otherwise she should not have married a non-Muslim.A Muslim man may not marry a woman who worships Satan, and a Muslim woman may not marry anyone other than a Muslim. In Germany, a tattooed woman who publicly worships Satan and a Turkish man are not married, even though they have children together and live together.Their religious leaders are so stupid that they won’t allow it. And you can be sure that Mills is in Florida with a woman without marriage or the marriage is not valid under Islamic rules.
