Most people think the Muslim Brotherhood is just a charity group that helps neighbors. That is the dangerous fantasy. The group’s own founding slogan leaves no room for doubt. It says, “Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Quran is our constitution. Jihad is our way. Dying in the path of Allah is our highest hope.” This is not a social club. It is a plan for total control.
Abdul El-Sayed is running for Senate in Michigan. He wants to be the first Muslim U.S. Senator. But he refuses to answer a simple question. A young man asked him if he would disavow the group. El-Sayed shot back, “Why are you asking the question?” He acted like the question itself was the problem. He tried to paint the asker as a bigot. But the group has a violent history of sowing chaos.
Mike Rogers, the Republican Senate nominee, knows the details. He told Breitbart News about a letter El-Sayed signed in 2012. The letter supported Mohamed Morsi when he became Egypt’s president. Rogers said El-Sayed was “supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood” in that letter. It was not just a casual thing. El-Sayed also called for them to purge the police and the press. Rogers noted that the Brotherhood celebrated El-Sayed’s primary win. They posted about it on their website. They praised the fact that he won.
Rogers pointed out that El-Sayed once lied about these ties. Now he will not answer questions about it. Rogers said, “This is about the way you think. It’s not about the way you pray.” He reminded voters that he wore the uniform of the United States. His family and son did too. They served so people could pray any way they want. But El-Sayed seems to have different loyalties.
The financial ties are just as troubling. Rogers alleged that people who support Hamas are backing El-Sayed’s campaign. He said people who fund Hezbollah are also giving money. The Council on American-Islamic Relations is another group. Rogers said the group is headed up by El-Sayed’s father-in-law. He claimed that group has funneled about $400,000 into the campaign. Open support for the Muslim Brotherhood characterizes that group.
At the University of Michigan, El-Sayed also headed the Muslim Student Association. Rogers described this group as having alleged connections to the Brotherhood. The Daily Wire reported that the Brotherhood’s ideology is revolutionary. It does not view liberal democracy as a legitimate end. They see it only as a temporary tool. This is the same lineage that leads to al-Qaeda and Hamas.
El-Sayed cannot even condemn a Hezbollah-inspired attack on a synagogue. Rogers said they tried to kill 130 schoolchildren in that attack. If you cannot figure out that is wrong, you have no business in the Senate. Hamas identifies itself as one of the Muslim Brotherhood’s wings in Palestine. Their charter calls for the obliteration of Israel. This is not a secret. It is in their founding documents.
El-Sayed wants us to believe this is about religion. He compares himself to John F. Kennedy. But Kennedy did not have ties to a group seeking Islamic dominance. El-Sayed signed a letter calling for purges. He refuses to say he disagrees with a terrorist group. The gap between his public words and his private ties is the real story. We need to know who he truly serves.
