How lengthy will Democrats and their media allies preserve ignoring Abdul El-Sayed’s extremism?
He eked out a win for the Michigan get together’s Senate nomination, but that doesn’t power the likes of Sen. Chuck Schumer to flip a blind eye to his blatant Islamist ties and sympathies.
The newest revelation: El-Sayed’s mom, Fatten Fathy Elkomy, labored for the Islamic American Relief Agency, which the Treasury Department fingered as a terror company allegedly instantly funding Osama bin Laden and backing Hamas and the Taliban.
To this, the media and Democratic elites provided a collective shrug — again.
Other information apparently unfit to print is that El-Sayed’s sister Eman Abdelhadi is a radical left professor who confronted felony fees for assaulting an ICE officer.
She has called Sen. Bernie Sanders “a disappointment” because he called Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attacks “horrifying” — indeed, she celebrates that day, even as she condemns July 4 and Thanksgiving, tweeting: “Excuse me if I don’t celebrate the transfer of stolen land from one colonizer to another.”
Imagine if a GOP candidate had household ties like this — not that his doubtful associates cease there.
Labor Day weekend, El-Sayed is to handle the yearly assembly of the Islamic Society of North America.
As the Washington Free Beacon reports, other audio system embrace Yasir Qadhi, a Texas imam who has called the Holocaust a “hoax” and Michigan imam Baqir Berry, who has preached in favor of a “mighty victory” for the “mujahideen” over the “evil of these Zionists.”
The Beacon’s highlight did transfer organizers to cancel Tariq Masood, a Pakistani cleric who favors little one marriage and the homicide of these who blaspheme Islam.
El-Sayed will insist he disagrees with Masood and the relaxation, including his sister, but he’s still buddies with rabid podcaster Hasan Piker — another Israel-hating, 9/11-cheering extremist that the Democratic institution welcomes inside its “big tent.”
And the candidate himself has called to kill the Second Amendment, defund the police and finish July 4 fireworks.
When a Muslim terrorist in his own yard tried to slaughter a bunch of Jewish schoolkids, he justified the attack by blaming . . . Israel’s battle against Hezbollah.
Yet the august New York Times insists complaints about all this are pure Islamophobia; Democrats choose to rail against the all-American, pro-Israel AIPAC while ignoring the affect of abroad Muslim cash in US politics.
Meanwhile, denouncing the fully nonexistent Gaza “genocide” now seems to be the default Democratic place; this completely-contrary-to-fact narrative is also an article of religion for most of the media elite.
Happily, Michigan voters may properly reject El-Sayed in November; many Dem voters — including Jews rightly repulsed by his bloodthirsty antisemitism — have already made clear he won’t have their vote.
And he’s going through normie Republican Mike Rogers — who’ll be laborious to bash as a Trump pawn when the state’s Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer, has about as heat a relationship with the president.
Let’s hope Rogers trounces El-Sayed, not just because it’ll assist the GOP preserve the Senate, but because dropping this election might lastly encourage the Democratic leaders to overtly reject his hate.
