PAY ATTENTION MICHIGAN: The Making of Abdul El-Sayed: Bill Clinton, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Michigan's Senate Race In 2007: University of Michigan graduation. Student speaker Abdul El-Sayed. Bill Clinton follows, praises the speech, then tells him privately he has a real gift for speaking and should go into public service. El-Sayed has recounted that moment for years. Nearly 20 years later, he’s the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan. Not surprising once you connect the actual record. In 2012, while a medical student, El-Sayed signed a statement by Egyptian-American leaders supporting Mohamed Morsi’s decisions (Morsi was the Muslim Brotherhood president) and calling on him to “purge the media and the police as quickly as possible.” Other signers of that letter have donated to his campaigns. His half-sister posted that the family “has long been MB” and that their mother was active in the Brotherhood in Egypt in the early 1970s. Their mother later worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency, designated by Treasury over terror-financing links. His father-in-law, Tayeb Jukaku, sat on the Islamic Society of North America Founders Committee for years and previously led CAIR-Michigan - both groups named unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas financing case. Jukaku has poured roughly $200,000 into a super PAC backing El-Sayed. El-Sayed denies the ties. Yet the letter, the family posts, and the father-in-law’s roles are public. The same Bill Clinton who praised him in 2007 had hosted Abdurahman Alamoudi at the White House. Photos show Clinton and Gore with him in 1996. Alamoudi founded the American Muslim Council, helped shape the early U.S. military Muslim chaplain program, and was treated as a "moderate" interlocutor. An FBI wiretap after the 1998 African embassy bombings caught him saying the attacks were “wrong” but that he preferred hitting a “Zionist target” in America or Europe. He publicly backed Hamas and Hezbollah. He was later convicted and sentenced to 23 years on charges involving illegal financial dealings with Libya, including a plot tied to the assassination of the Saudi Crown Prince. The Clintons also hosted their CAIR friends and similar groups at White House events. Let's not forget Hillary’s longtime aide Huma Abedin edited a journal co-founded with Abdullah Omar Naseef (Muslim World League figure linked to entities later designated for terror financing). As Secretary of State, she co-sponsored and hosted implementation of UN Resolution 16/18, the OIC-backed measure critics said advanced Sharia restrictions on speech critical of Islam. Hillary tried her hardest to import Islamic blasphemy laws! Watch the 2007 clip. Then look at the 2012 letter, the half-sister’s posts, the father-in-law’s ISNA/CAIR roles and donations, Alamoudi’s White House access and later conviction, and the Resolution 16/18 process. Michigan voters can decide whether this is a coincidence or part of a longer pattern of elevation and outreach. teapaw.org/luckycharm_gal/status/…
