Michigan has a large Arab and Muslim population. Rashida Tlaib, a Palestinian-American, is one of the state’s representatives in Congress. And now Michigan has an Arab candidate running for the Senate who has a shot at winning the Democratic nomination. He is Abdul El-Sayed, about whom you can find out more here:
A Michigan Senate candidate endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) will appear at a major Islamist convention this weekend with anti-Israel speakers who have called for the destruction of Israel, praised Hamas leaders, and expressed “euphoria” over the Oct. 7 Hamas attack.
Abdul El-Sayed, a former CNN commentator running to replace retiring Sen. Gary Peters (D.), will speak at the annual Islamic Circle of North America and Muslim American Society (ICNA-MAS) annual convention in Baltimore, according to a speaker roster for the event.
It’s his first major national appearance since entering the Senate race last month to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters. El-Sayed, a self-described progressive Democrat, is running against moderate state senator Mallory McMorrow and Rep. Haley Stevens, a pro-Israel Democrat. El-Sayed, a public health physician, has already landed the most high-profile endorsements of the race. Sanders endorsed El-Sayed last month, saying he is needed to “stand up to Trump’s authoritarianism.” Khanna praised El-Sayed for “standing up for the human rights and self determination of Palestinians.”
The upcoming ICNA-MAS Convention will focus squarely on the Israel-Hamas war, and feature a parade of speakers who claim Israel is waging “genocide” in the region.
El-Sayed will share the convention stage with Sami Hamdi, a British activist who said he felt “euphoria” after Hamas’s Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel. Tom Facchine, another conference speaker, said after the Hamas attack that, “we are with the Palestinian resistance 100 percent, no ifs, no ands, no buts, no equivocations, no apologies, no condemnations.” He has also encouraged Columbia University students to “take out” pro-Israel professor Shai Davidai, the New York Post reported.
El-Sayed has no qualms about appearing on stage with the likes of Sami Hamdi and Tom Facchine, who both have had nothing but praise for Hamas’ attack on October 7, 2023, when 6,000 of the terror group’s members in Gaza smashed into Israel and proceeded to rape, torture, mutilate, and murder 1,200 Israelis and kidnap another 251. Hamdi felt only “euphoria” at the news of the attack; Facchine said after the attack that he was “with the Palestinian resistance 100 percent,” without any reservations. Can we conclude that Abdul El-Sayed shares their views just as he shares the stage with them?
Muslim American Society director Ayman Hammous, another convention speaker, has praised Muslim Brotherhood leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who called for another Holocaust to “punish” Jews and has defended Palestinian suicide bombers. Hammous recently promoted a protest sign that referred to “the Satanic state of Israel.”
And there is Shaun King, a former Black Lives Matter activist who converted to Islam after the Oct. 7 attacks. King, who has served alongside El-Sayed as a Bernie Sanders campaign surrogate, called Joe Biden a “genocidal monster” after the former president’s cancer diagnosis earlier this week, and said, “I hope his final days are painful.” King expressed outrage after the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, whom he referred to as his “dear brother.”…
What kind of moral cretin converts to Islam after the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas jihadists? And who, after Biden’s fatal illness was announced, instead of any expression of fellow feeling calls him a “genocidal monster” (for having supported Israel in its war of self-defense) and wishes that “his final days are painful”? And calls the late Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who stole four billion dollars from the aid money given to Gaza, his “dear brother”?
Hamdi, Facchine, Hammous, and King are the company — fanatical jihadis — El-Sayed knowingly keeps.
El-Sayed mounted a surprisingly strong run for Michigan governor in 2018, losing in the Democratic primary to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, 52-30. He received endorsements in the campaign from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) and celebrities like Ben Affleck. El-Sayed raised his national profile as a commentator on CNN, where he opined on both political campaigns and the coronavirus pandemic.
How is it that CNN hired El-Sayed as a commentator? With exactly one failed primary race under his belt, could he be considered an expert on politics? Or fit to comment on coronavirus, even though he was not a specialist in infectious diseases? He was undoubtedly a “diversity” hire by that most woke of news networks.
Ocasio-Cortez has not issued an endorsement in the Michigan Senate race so far, though El-Sayed accompanied her and Sanders during their recent “Stop Oligarchy” tour.
Ocasio-Cortez has become more circumspect in her comments on Jews and Israel recently; she is preparing to make a run for the Senate, and needs to tone down her anti-Israel rhetoric. Hence her withholding of an endorsement of Abdul El-Sayed in this race, given the Hamas-praising company he keeps.
Haley Stevens is the only pro-Israel candidate running in the Democratic primary. El-Sayed in the Senate would be much more formidable than the two Muslim congresswomen, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.

Doctor Jihad wants to be a senator. There is only one religion that uses jihad as a tool for religious conversion. It’s not voluntary in Islam. Keep that in mind Michigan.
Cynthia says
Americans will come down from within, the proscribed future in the manifesto of the Muslim Brotherhood. They are ignorant of the intentions of Islam and vote for their own demise.
Every freedom we have will be revoked.

Can the GOP put up a sensible Centrist candidate who can snatch this seat from El-Sayed?
Ron says
Yet another bag of goat shit who will NOT represent anybody but ATOMIC ISLAMICS.
I guess racism only applies when it’s convenient.

The American left has lost all sense of morality just, for instance, look at the New York City mayoral outcome. Like I say all the time, the left hates us more

Another step on the way to fulfillment of Revelation 13.
Anyone getting a bernie sanders, aoc, tlaib, etc. endorsement is unworthy of holding any office over the rest of mankind.
A senator from this state or that….affects **all** of us, not just people in the State from which they run.
because they vote on the various bills and establish laws and policies that apply nationwide.
More and more, moz scums are taking political power. We are on the way to fulfillment of the “wild beast, false prophet, and dragon,” cutting the life from all who refuse to bow to the “wild beast and its image.”
“Woe to those putting evil for good, bitter for sweet and darkness for light.”

Jihadist Islam is a global threat.
Islam ( submission)will collapse ,like USSR in 1989,if we DENOUNCE pseudo prophet criminal MUHAMMAD,who according to his biography( Sira) and traditions( Hadith) was a pedophile( wife Aisha was 9 yo), rapist, murderer, torturer , bandit (keeping20% of the booty for himself),liar and sex-slave trader, deserving no reverence but our contempt and also LIBERATE THE MUSLIM WOMEN from barbaric misogynistic Sharia Law.The Koran ( recitation)states women are dumb, less intelligent than men,wives must be beaten for disobedience by their hudbands ,all women will go to hell, unless in the last day their husband says he was pleased with her and all women must hide their curves and wear burkas ,so that men will not be aroused to rape them.Islam is a misogynistic ,violent , imperialist political ideology of Muslim supremacy ISLAMOFASCISM(>70%), DISGUISED AS A RELIGION(< 30%) that strives through violent Jihad and soft cultural Jihad of immigration ( dawa, Hijra)to subjugate the World.Jihadists are promised, if killed battling infidels-kafirs,) they will go to Paradise to enjoy 72 virgins ,taking along 70 of their relatives regardless of their sins!Muslim Immigration is Hijra( flight)to take over the country they settle in ,like Muhammad did to Yatrib-Medina.This, along with forced child marriages and four wives per man ( Bin Laden had 52 siblings and 16 children),the muslims will soon outnumber the local populations and will impose Sharia law .Withdraw from UN MIGRANT COMPACT ,that falsely claims immigration is a Human Right expecting Western countries to accept and provide for an endless number of muslim illegal immigrants ,thus islamizing them. Muslim “refugees “should stay in Turkey or vast rich Saudi Arabia ,until they can return to their countries.We must denounce islamic Sharia (=way)law of blasphemer,apostate ,homosexual , adulterer and hypocrite executions,misogyny,honor killings by stoning,hand amputations for theft,child brides,girls exclusion from schools,halal meat from tortured animals,clitorectomies,subjugation and segregation of women,burkas and Sharia banning of short skirts,bikinis,dancing,singing,painting ,sculptures of people,dogs,pork,alcohol and beauty contests .Demand gender equality for ALL muslim women.Punish severely those that kill apostates from Islam,blasphemers,adulterers or muslim hypocrites.Islam is incompatible with our freedom of speech, gender equality, values,way of life, Human Rights, Constitution, Republic and population stability needed to sustain Life on Earth.Tolerating intolerant Islam is cultural suicide!For more info on Islam go to YOU TUBE for: ApostateProphet,Exmuslims,David Wood,Ayan Hirsi Ali,BrigitteGabriel,BillWarner,Politicalislam.org,PamelaGeller,Jihadwatch,Nonie Darwish , Wafa Sultan,Richard Dawkins on Islam,Ani Cyrus , Geert Wilder,obsession – what the West needs to know.Also Google: Wikiislam, The religion of peace,barenakedislam, MEMRI etc.Watch the deposition of Ayan Hirsi Ali in Congress on"how to defeatIslam":https://www.hoover.org/research/challenge-dawa-political-islam-ideology-and-movement-and-how-counter-it

I’m afraid the Pledge of Allegiance is not enough. Shouldn’t there be additional vetting of Congressional candidates?
OLD GUY says
This is a planed result of the Migration Invasion by Islam in America. We are seeing more and more of these muslim candidates in our local and federal governments. Think about it, Muslims/Islamics only represent a tiny percentage of the American population. Why are so many of these Muslim/Islamic getting into our political offices?
Could it be Islam’s plan to take over and rule America from within? After all it is Islam’s plan to rule the world. That can’t happen as long as America is not controlled.
Stop the Migration Invasion of America and be very careful of who you VOTE for.
