Last week was interesting for anyone concerned about Islam’s growing influence in America.
Recently revealed were the 2009 remarks made by Michigan US Senate nominee, Democrat and avowed Muslim, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed. He reportedly shared that, while in medical school, he chose to obtain a loan that was compliant with Islamic law—Sharia. In fact, he proclaimed that, as a Muslim, he would always follow Sharia in “everything” he ever sought to do.
Some may dismiss these remarks, made 17 years ago, as those of a man simply dedicated deeply to his religion—one he embraces totally separate from his political views and life in general. However, such a dismissal would be a big mistake for Michigan voters in the upcoming election.
While U.S. legislators embracing Christianity and most other religions do leave their religion at the door to represent their constituency on matters concerning their well-being, Muslims dedicated to their “religion” do not—and cannot. There is no issue amongst non-Muslim legislators complying with the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment mandate prohibiting the establishment of a national religion and protecting the free exercise of religion; but for Muslim legislators, there is.
The above mandate gives rise to the philosophical and jurisprudential concept that there can be no state-mandated religion—i.e., “separation of church and state.” But, what if such separation is impossible because one has declared his total commitment to a religion that disallows such a separation?

Just imagine a dedicated Catholic and position on abortion.
In Islam there is NO SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE; THE CHURCH IS THE STATE.................
Pffft, is he promising free stuff?! That’s all the people want it seems.
Sayed is one dangerous pol.
Sayed is one dangerous pos..................
So, in reality it would seem to me that there is no possible way that a dedicated Muslim can hold gov’t. office in the United States...not legally anyway.
A Hybrid *religion* formed from the clay of Judaism, Christianity, and Tribal ethics.
It’s not a ‘religion’ by any sane definition.
Ask a Muslim:
If Allah is so ‘great’ why does he need you to do his dirty work?..............
Taking the oath of office pledging to defend the US Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic would itself be perjury for a devout Muslim.
So yeah, it would be illegal in the eyes of US law.
It would be perfectly legal in the eyes of Sharia though, because perjury is allowable as taqiyya.
But his other stuff is straight up jihadi mess and he should be treated as such.
Then, his opponent (if he is smart) needs to keep pointing this out - especially to the LGBTQ community:
"Mainstream Islamic scholarship and the vast majority of Muslims view homosexual acts as a major sin."
He can ask the LGBTQ community if they agree with El-Sayed's views on this and ask if they're A-OK being thrown from a rooftop.
That includes the command to kill the Infidels wherever you find them, right?
Like Nancy Pelosi?
No what I mean is, can you imagine the press reaction to someone who's a devout Catholic who doesn't "denounce" pro-life views?
