Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed wants Americans to believe that opposition to Sharia in state courts belongs in the same historical indictment as some of the darkest crimes ever committed on American soil.
That is not a paraphrase invented by his opponents. It is the unmistakable thrust of his own remarks.
Speaking to the Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in October 2022, El-Sayed declared: “You can’t understand a Sharia ban without understanding the Trail of Tears.”
He then invoked white supremacy and said the “same exact forces” were behind Native American removal, the destruction of Black Wall Street, the Oklahoma City bombing and Oklahoma’s attempt to bar courts from considering Sharia law, according to the Washington Free Beacon’s report and video.
WATCH:
This is not subtle. This is not “defending religious freedom.” This is obscene political propaganda that places a medieval legal system, complete with hudud punishments, unequal rights for women and non-Muslims, and apostasy rules, into the same category of victimhood as genuine American tragedies.
El-Sayed insists that bans on Sharia stem from bigotry. Yet Sharia, as practiced in Iran, Afghanistan under the Taliban, and other regimes, systematically subordinates women, criminalizes apostasy and blasphemy, and rejects the foundational equality of the American constitutional order.
El-Sayed has denied that imposing Sharia is his goal and claims allegiance to the separation of church and state. But his 2022 performance at CAIR reveals the instinct: treat any legal firewall against Islamic law as illegitimate and rooted in “white supremacy.” That instinct matters when a candidate is one election away from the United States Senate.
On May 13, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitution and Limited Government held a hearing entitled “Sharia-Free America: Why Political Islam & Sharia Law are Incompatible with the U.S. Constitution: Part II.”
While news of the hearing largely focused on Marco Hunter-Lopez, it took place as part of a larger initiative led by Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) and Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), who established the “Sharia Free America Caucus” late last year to address what they see as a danger to American civil liberties.

WHY is ANY AMERICAN voting for these Commies/Terrorists? Grrrr!
HE WILL NOT SURVIVE THAT PLAN.
F him and the camel he rode in on.
What makes you think they are? These clowns are “elected” by illegals and fake votes.
Just venting my frustrations as AN AMERICAN. ;)
There are WAY too many of them in WAY too many states for my comfort. We are currently battling a card-carrying COMMUNIST for Governor of Wisconsin!
Wisconsin!
Aagghh!
A bit over the top, I’d say. Another exaggerated comparison.
“We are currently battling a card-carrying COMMUNIST for Governor of Wisconsin!”
She’s apparently a MENSA sweetheart....
Republicans need to find every such utterance he has made and every unsavory association he has, hang them around his neck, and make him own them. Don’t give him a peaceful breath between now and November. Turn his own vileness back on him and make it destroy him.
MoFo arrogant POS. Political jihad in the republic.
Nah. They’re elected by an ignorant and apathetic electorate that doesn’t turn out to the polls. This allows the ambitious minority to impose their will
Shuck Faria
Does ICE have a hotline?
YES. Domestic enemy. Should be on the 10,000 Most Wanted List. Topple the republic enemy.
OMG. I KNOW you’re joking! She’s mentally ILL by any and all accounts.
And she’s going to win the Primary this Tuesday - which WILL benefit my guy, Tom Tiffany.
While I REALLY want Tiffany as Governor, I don’t think he knows what he’s in for. ‘The Socialist Democrats of Madistan’ were AWFUL to Governor Scott Walker. I hope Governor Tiffany is up to the task. I HOPE he is the Country Boy he claims to be, but wielding a pitch fork or a flame thrower, because he’s going to need it!
It’s brutal - ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL in Wisconsin politics these days.
And here I thought Packer Football was Blood Sport. Nope. It’s still politics! Ugh!
See how the oh so smartly clever Dem Socialist voting college graduate women will like the new strict rules limiting their freedom. How many public caning strikes or whip lashes for going out without a hijab and wearing non modest attire or eating a non-Halal hot dog at a fair?
But since it’s ICE it’s a Cold Line. 🥶
“Noo” Socialist Abdul El-Sayed compares muslim oppression to the Trail of Tears.
Vote him down!
Getting rid of this loon is a conundrum for the DerocRATS... They managed to rid themselves of that NAZI loving rapist from Maine, but this dude will be a very large boil on the *ss of the Democrats for the next three or four months.
The mainstream media will obviously ignore him and they’ll hardly ever mention his name... But in a world that now revolves around social media rather than mainstream media... The damage this Jew hater will reek on their November candidates won’t fully be understood until November.
He’s a gift to Republicans that just won’t stop giving... And of course... He can’t keep his mouth shut... He’s not in it to win... He’s in it to make money and cultivate a following for his future podcast.
Or going out without a male family member present.........
