Abdul El-Sayed, for anyone just emerging from a coma, is the Democrat\u2019s U.S. Senate candidate in Michigan. Despite trying to eliminate some of his antisemitic, anti-American past tweets and trying to distance himself from the Democratic Socialists of America\u2014DSA\u2014El-Sayed is an Islamist and antisemite. Even some Michigan Jews have begun to notice and just might vote for his Republican opponent, Mike Rogers. For most American Jews, voting for a Republican is akin to race treason.<\/p>

El-Sayed raises the threat level another notch. He toes the Muslim Brotherhood line. To take one glaring example, he was decrying the \u201cgenocide\u201d lie against Israel in the immediate aftermath of the October 7 massacre even before Israel had initiated its ground invasion of Gaza on October 27.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The idea that it\u2019s not Islamist atrocities, but sane, decent people\u2019s reaction to them, is the problem, aligns with the standard Democrat narrative that the problem is\u00a0not the lunatic rhetoric, actions, and policies of Democrats; the problem is Republicans\u2019 response to them, which includes accurately informing the public about the damage they\u2019re doing or intending.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Michigan Senate candidate El-Sayed speaks at religious conference criticized for inviting 9\/11 conspiracy theorists<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cReligious conference?!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Michigan Senate hopeful Dr. Abdul El-Sayed waxed poetic at a Saturday Islamic convention that has\u00a0faced criticism for inviting multiple 9\/11 conspiracy theorists\u00a0\u2014 six days before the 25th anniversary of the devastating terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n

The lefty pol delivered remarks alongside \u201cThe Young Turks\u201d founder Cenk Uygur and Muslim cleric Zaid Shakir \u2014 both of whom have questioned the government\u2019s narrative of the Sept. 11 attacks \u2014 at the Islamic Society of North America\u2019s annual convention in Detroit Saturday night.<\/p>\n

El-Sayed\u00a0faced heat earlier this week\u00a0after a since-deleted tweet resurfaced from Sept. 11, 2021 where he mourned the lives lost on 9\/11 and trashed America in the process.<\/p>\n

But the democratic hopeful remained mum on the topic Saturday and instead used the panel as a platform to focus on anti-Muslim hate across the country.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The NYP did much better in its coverage of the event, but it\u2019s a common problem that our media, even outlets that might be thought \u201cconservative,\u201d concede legitimacy to Islam, which is a political system of conquest and domination with an increasingly ephemeral veil of religious legitimacy. Trying to hide his loyalty to Islamism, El-Sayed stuck with the \u201coh, we poor Muslims; we\u2019re so oppressed\u201d narrative:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe found ourselves in a moment now where, as people point to us, Muslim Americans, they want to tell us that we don\u2019t belong,\u201d El-Sayed remarked to the crowd of about 1,000 attendees.<\/p>

\u201cThey want to tell us that this country is not ours. They want to tell us that because of our names or how we pray, that somehow we are less than.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Not quite. Americans who understand Islam because they\u2019ve read the Quran and because they listen to Islamist\u2019s words, read their writings and tweets, and take them seriously, know Islam is fundamentally incompatible with Western Civilization and peace. Are Islamists \u201cless than\u201d Normal Americans? Yes, in the sense that sane people understand that not all cultures are alike and equally valuable. How could cultures that want to enslave and conquer the world for Islam be equal to a peaceful, prosperous, free society like ours? So, yes, Islamists and Sharia law absolutely \u201cdon\u2019t belong.\u201d People like El-Sayed are lucky we haven\u2019t yet summoned the common sense and will to declare Islam a terrorist ideology.<\/p>\n

Others at the \u201creligious conference\u201d weren\u2019t quite so circumspect:<\/p>\n

\n

While El-Sayed remained tight-lipped to avoid making any controversial statements, his fellow panelists were more fired up and made several anti-Israel comments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Uygur criticized the US\u2019s support for Israel, saying, \u201cit is unbearable to me as an American,\u201d and referred to the horrifying October 7 attacks in a rather flippant way.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Oh my god, on October 7, the worst thing since the Holocaust,\u2019\u201d he snarked about the mainstream media\u2019s coverage of the attacks on Israel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

October 7th<\/sup>\u00a0was<\/em> the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yes. That was \u201crather flippant.\u201d<\/p>\n

El-Sayed has recently shown increasing signs of desperation. Democrats\u2019 internal polling must be alarming, yet it\u2019s still possible, with sufficient election fraud, El-Sayed could be elected to the Senate, where, joining with several other Islamists in the House, he could do increasing damage to America.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The greatest danger lies in delay, in Islamists\u00a0like El-Sayed fooling Americans into thinking the \u201creligion\u201d of bloodlust and conquest is just another faith protected by the First Amendment, like Baptists and Catholics, just people who want to pray and live in peace with others.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not what Islam teaches and demands, or what El-Sayed intends.<\/p>\n
