Abdul El-Sayed’s sister’s also rants against July 4th and Thanksgiving in holiday-hating posts (assistant professor Eman Abdelhadi)

It’s a family of holiday killjoys.

The sister of Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has also dismissed classic American holidays as her candidate brother has been called out for hating on the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and the national pastime of football.

Eman Abdelhadi, an assistant professor of comparative human development at the University of Chicago, had several social media posts resurface in the wake of her sibling’s primary victory in the Wolverine State earlier this month.

“Excuse me if I don’t celebrate the transfer of stolen land from one colonizer to another,” Abdelhadi posted on Twitter, now X, in July 2016, hashtagging the July 4th holiday.

In other posts, the college professor claimed “settler colonial propaganda” was potentially being taught at her niece’s school, only to breathe a sigh of relief after learning that the main takeaway about Thanksgiving was “turkeys.”

“If it weren’t attached to genocide,” Abdelhadi also said in a November 2024 post, “thanksgiving would be a lovely holiday. People gathering to declare gratitude and eat a meal without the need to exchange gifts or buy anything besides food.”

“We can’t have nice things under settler colonialism. May all the empires fall,” she declared in the same post.

Sounds like the typical leftist/islamist.

The left/islam is trying to destroy anything good about this country and actively started trying to erase our traditions including traditional holidays, in 2020 most notably with the lockdowns.

It behooves us as believers and patriots, to continue observance of these holidays and to reject the faux ones they are imposing on us instead.

Arabs and other Muslims are the last people in the world to give lectures on colonization, land theft, slavery or genocide unless it is a how-to class from their history.

These idiots also don’t realize that Thanksgiving was established as a national holiday in 1863 by Abraham Lincoln. Not sure where they are getting the whole “genocide” angle. But, then again, they just attach that term to the mere existence of the USA.

“The tourists really should keep their big mouths shut.”

The muzzies and other 3rd world scumbags are going to enjoy the brand new footbaths that are being built in airports.

Infiltration of infidel lands to wipe out customs and things they are thankful for. Political, educational, psychological jihad. The Quranic Concept of War.

Right. But they’re 100% on-board with their pedophile spiritual messiah. Piss be upon him.

“Excuse me if I don’t celebrate the transfer of stolen land from one colonizer to another,”

Unless it's the transfer of the Jewish homeland from the Romans to (eventually) the Ottomans. Then it's okay.

Hearing Muslims talk of stolen lands is a real knee slapper.

Much like Mexicans saying kali… were stolen from them? Question how did “Mexico “ come to own these lands🤔😎

Recentism, only going far enough back in history to justify your position

To El-Sayed’s sister:......Tell your brother this is America & we have & enjoy certain holidays. I personally don’t celebrate certain ones, nor am I a football, baseball, soccer, basket ball, golf, etc. fan,but I don’t raise a fuss about them either & let others enjoy what they wish to. He can sit down & shut up if he doesn’t like what we do. OH, yes....& kindly do it somewhere else than in America as well.

AMEN!

That’s the problem with democrats/leftists. They want to control EVERYONE and EVERYTHING. For all their screams and ranting about personal choice and freedom, they can’t live and let live and mind their own business. They must mind everyone else’s too.

It’s all about control.

They hate all those holidays because they are not Islamic holidays.

The stole the entirely of North Africa, the ME, Iran, Indonesia, and parts of India. For starters. But they are not colonizers somehow ... their belief in magic is strong
