Add The New York Post on Google How long will Democrats and their media allies keep ignoring Abdul El-Sayed’s extremism?
He eked out a win for the Michigan party’s Senate nomination, but that doesn’t force the likes of Sen. Chuck Schumer to turn a blind eye to his blatant Islamist ties and sympathies.
The latest revelation: El-Sayed’s mother, Fatten Fathy Elkomy, worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency, which the Treasury Department fingered as a terror agency allegedly directly funding Osama bin Laden and backing Hamas and the Taliban.
To this, the media and Democratic elites offered a collective shrug — again.
Other news apparently unfit to print is that El-Sayed’s sister Eman Abdelhadi is a radical left professor who faced felony charges 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 family ties like this — not that his dubious associates stop there.
Labor Day weekend, El-Sayed is to address the yearly meeting of the Islamic Society of North America.
As the Washington Free Beacon reports, other speakers include 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 spotlight did move organizers to cancel Tariq Masood, a Pakistani cleric who favors child marriage and the murder of those who blaspheme Islam.
El-Sayed will insist he disagrees with Masood and the rest, including his sister, but he’s still buddies with rabid podcaster Hasan Piker — another Israel-hating, 9/11-cheering extremist that the Democratic establishment welcomes inside its “big tent.”
And the candidate himself has called to kill the Second Amendment, defund the police and end July 4 fireworks.
When a Muslim terrorist in his own backyard tried to slaughter a bunch of Jewish schoolkids, he justified the attack by blaming . . . Israel’s war against Hezbollah.
Yet the august New York Times insists complaints about all this are pure Islamophobia; Democrats prefer to rail against the all-American, pro-Israel AIPAC while ignoring the influence of overseas Muslim money in US politics.
Meanwhile, denouncing the completely nonexistent Gaza “genocide” now seems to be the default Democratic position; this completely-contrary-to-fact narrative is also an article of faith for most of the media elite.
Happily, Michigan voters may well 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 facing normie Republican Mike Rogers — who’ll be hard to bash as a Trump pawn when the state’s Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer, has about as warm a relationship with the president.
Let’s hope Rogers trounces El-Sayed, not just because it’ll help the GOP keep the Senate, but because losing this election might finally inspire the Democratic leaders to openly reject his hate.
