I’m so sick of seeing people across social media claim Abdul El-Sayed is only getting heat “because he’s a Muslim man.” That’s not the reason. Other Muslims have been elected to office without this reaction. Repeating it just makes you look stupid. Here are the actual problems: 1- In 2012 he signed a letter to Mohamed Morsi (the Muslim Brotherhood president of Egypt) supporting his power grab and calling on him to “purge the media and the police as quickly as possible.” 2- His biological mother, Fatten Elkomy, worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA), which the U.S. Treasury designated for supporting terrorism. His half-sister has publicly said their mother was active in the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in the 1970s. 3- His half-sister Eman Abdelhadi posted on social media about their mother’s Muslim Brotherhood activism and expressed support for family members backing the Brotherhood in Egypt. 4- He refused to condemn the IRGC when directly asked by an Iranian-American student whose family was targeted by them. Leaked audio also shows he deliberately stayed silent on Khamenei’s death because “there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad,” prioritizing his base over basic condemnation of a terrorist regime. 5- His father, Mohamed El-Sayed, sits on the board of Life for Relief and Development, a Michigan-based Islamic charity that paid a $780,000 settlement to the U.S. Treasury for violating sanctions by transferring money into Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. The group has also faced raids and scrutiny over alleged ties to terror-linked networks. These are documented facts.
