On Sunday’s edition of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” host Kristen Welker asked Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed if he would “set the record straight” on his alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
asserted
he → ask → Brotherhood
“No,” El-Sayed quickly replied, saying that neither he nor his family have any ties to the international Sunni Islamist network.
asserted
he → reply → network
El-Sayed is lying.
asserted
Sayed → lie → ?
He’s running as the most thinly veiled Trojan horse in American political history — on behalf of the Brotherhood and the Islamism it embodies.
asserted
it → run → Brotherhood
The Washington Free Beacon helped expose how El-Sayed’s half-sister, a radical University of Chicago professor named Eman Abdelhadi, has explicitly lauded their family’s Brotherhood ties.
asserted
sister → help → ties
In 2012 Abdelhadi gushed over their mother, Fatten Elkomy: “Had an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during the early 70s.”
asserted
Abdelhadi → gush → 70s
That same year, as the Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi reigned in Elkomy’s native Egypt, Abdelhadi bragged that her “family has long been MB.”
Care to answer Welker’s question again, Abdul?
asserted
family → reign → question
Abdelhadi also took to Instagram to deliver an “October 7th blessing” one year after the barbaric pogrom committed by the Brotherhood’s Palestinian-Arab offshoot, Hamas.
asserted
Abdelhadi → take → offshoot
Wearing a keffiyeh she intoned, “I want to say, Allahu Akbar.”
asserted
I → wear → Akbar
As for Elkomy, she worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency, designated by the Treasury Department as a terrorist organization in 2004 for providing “direct financial support” to Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda.
asserted
she → work → Laden
She was working there on 9/11.
asserted
She → work → 9/11
How stupid does El-Sayed think we are?
asserted
we → think → ?
Maybe he thought he could lie to Welker under the pretense of taqiyya, a sharia doctrine interpreted by some jihad-sympathizers as effective permission to lie to infidels.
uncertain
he → think → infidels
But we have the receipts.
asserted
we → have → receipts
I’ve noted how El-Sayed’s father-in-law, Jukaku Tayeb, a founding committee member of the Islamic Society of North America, has donated $200,000 to El-Sayed’s campaign.
asserted
father → note → campaign
El-Sayed has also raked in a similar six-figure donation sum from current or former Council on American-Islamic Relations officials.
asserted
Sayed → rake → officials
ISNA and CAIR are Brotherhood front groups on American soil, named as unindicted co-conspirators in the Justice Department’s massive 2008 terror financing bust of the Holy Land Foundation.
asserted
ISNA → name → Foundation
The United Arab Emirates named CAIR a terrorist organization in 2014, and the Brotherhood itself is banned as a terrorist organization in Egypt, the UAE, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
asserted
Brotherhood → name → Egypt
These are the groups now trying to elect Abdul El-Sayed to the US Senate.
asserted
These → try → Senate
For decades, leading Brotherhood clerics encouraged Islamists to infiltrate the West through immigration.
asserted
clerics → lead → immigration
Once safely ensconced, the clerics argued, Islamists could attain positions of prominence to move their Western host countries closer toward Islamism.
uncertain
Islamists → ensconce → Islamism
That’s why Abdelhadi pursued academic jihad, joining the professoriate at the prestigious University of Chicago.
asserted
Abdelhadi → ’ → Chicago
And it’s why her half-brother is now attempting electoral jihad at the highest level of American politics.
asserted
brother → ’ → politics
A prominent conservative member of Congress recently confided in me his fear that El-Sayed might be elected.
uncertain
Sayed → confide → fear
Would El-Sayed, this member worried, have access to sensitive intelligence?
asserted
member → worry → intelligence
Would he share our closest national-security secrets with hostile foreign actors?
asserted
he → share → actors
The answers seem clear.
asserted
answers → seem → ?
As a US senator, El-Sayed would pose a massive threat to American national security.
asserted
Sayed → pose → security
Rumor has it he covets a seat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee — a perfect perch for a senatorial fifth column.
asserted
he → have → column
As a senator, El-Sayed wouldn’t advance America’s interests: He would advance the interests of the Brotherhood, and of Islamism more generally.
asserted
He → advance → Islamism
If El-Sayed is elected, it isn’t just the Brotherhood and Hamas that would have a plant inside the “world’s greatest deliberative body”: Al Qaeda and ISIS would have a friend as well.
asserted
Qaeda → elect → friend
So too would the Iranian regime — after the assassination of Ali Khamenei, El-Sayed refused to comment, noting, “there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today.”
asserted
who → refuse → Dearborn
Senators are not required to procure security clearances, as executive branch appointees must; they are considered inherently trustworthy.
asserted
they → require → clearances
The polls in Michigan are tight, but El-Sayed appears to be ahead.
asserted
Sayed → appear → Michigan
If he wins, the Senate might be tempted to prevent him from being seated.
uncertain
Senate → win → him
Article I of the Constitution affords each house of Congress the ability to be the “Judge of the Elections, Returns, and Qualifications” of its own members — but in a 1969 case, the Supreme Court circumscribed this power, severely limiting Congress’ discretion.
asserted
Court → afford → discretion
What that means is as simple as it is stark: Mike Rogers must win in Michigan.
asserted
Rogers → mean → Michigan
The alternative means giving the Muslim Brotherhood an asset in the United States Senate.
asserted
alternative → mean → Senate
The Aporia
