Will this man seeking to lead Michigan be America’s first Muslim governor?
The Globe and Mail ^ | May 12, 2017 | Marcus Gee

Posted on 06/04/2017 10:33:31 AM PDT by GuavaCheesePuff

Abdul El-Sayed played football at his suburban Detroit high school. He was pretty good, so he was always double-teamed.

In his first game after the 9/11 attacks, opposing players hurled insults at him. “Go home.” “Raghead.” That sort of thing. In the blink of an eye, he recalled, “I went from being a chubby kid with a funny name to being a very stigmatized minority.”

Naturally, he was angry. He took a swing at one of the taunters. “The coach pulled me out of the game and said, ‘Listen, you’re going to be Abdul El-Sayed for the rest of your life, and that’s going to mean something to other people. You can use that as an excuse or you can use it as motivation. You get to pick that.’”

I would NEVER trust a muslim. EVER!

Same here. The extremist moslem wants to kill the infidel. The moderate moslem wants the extremist moslem to kill the infidel.

Too late! There was a Muslim in the White House for 8 years. Muslims are the new victims, and so, they're graduating to becoming the leaders over the "unsuspecting" and ignorant and enablers.

Are there that many terrorist supporters and stupid people in Michigan?

I always thought of Michigan, outside of Detroit and other black and muslim ghettos, as Heartland America.

Re: ...there is a Palestinian from Michigan in Congress, Justin Amash, and he's a Republican.

You left out an important detail.

His father is a Palestinian Christian, and his mother is a Greek Orthodox Christian from Syria.

His immigrant parents were sponsored by an American Christian church, back in the good old days when immigrants were actually required to have sponsors.

I would NEVER trust a muslim. EVER!

Never ingest any food or drink that was, or could have been, prepared by or touched by a muslim.

Here are a few examples of why that is a wise policy.

Man Arrested For Sprinkling Fecal Matter On Pastries

A Dallas cab driver is in big trouble for getting caught on tape sprinkling dried feces on pastries.

"Behrouz Nahidmobarekeh, 49, a devout muslim ,is on trial for allegedly throwing the feces on pastries at a Fiesta grocery store. Police said that during an investigation, they found a pile of human feces by his bed. Investigators believe Nahidmobarekeh would dry the feces, either by microwave or just letting it sit out, grate it up with a cheese grater and then sprinkle it at the store. A young boy, maybe 3 years old, was later seen on the surveillance tape, eating one of the defiled cookies.

There were consistent complaints about foul smelling cookies and cakes which led to investigations and apprehension of the muslim pastry Chef."

DHS Uncovers Islamic Plot to Poison Food in U.S. Hotels and Restaurants

"The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has discovered a "plot to poison food in U.S. hotels and restaurants, CBS News reports.

The plot, uncovered earlier this year, involved the simultaneous poisoning of food served in hotels and restaurants across the U.S. over a single weekend. Two different poisons, ricin and cyanide, would be slipped into salad bars and buffets.

According to CBS, a "key intelligence source" confirmed that the threat was "credible." So credible, in fact, that the DHS, Department of Agriculture and the FDA briefed key security officers in the hotel and restaurant industries about the attack.

Officials believe that those behind the plot may be tied to the Yemeni-based al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). In October, AQAP attempted a cargo bombing scheme, in which explosives were placed in two packages shipped to Chicago addresses."

Philly Muslim Ice Cream Truck Driver Had Urine Popsicles to Sell

"Was Muslim ice cream truck driver Yasser Hassan planning to serve “urine popsicles” to non-Muslim Philadelphia area kids? It’s not clear, but Hussein was drunk driving his ice cream truck in the area and police found at least one bottle of frozen urine in the refrigerator that was used to store ice cream sold to children."

“We received information from a passing motorist of an ice cream truck that was all over the roadway on southbound Route 1 from Oxford Valley Road,” Middletown Township Lt. John Michniewicz said.

His Jack & Jill Truck was pulled over minutes later and investigators say the ice cream man, 46-year-old Yassir Hassan, was visibly drunk.

Upon further inspection, authorities found several wine boxes inside.

But even more disturbing was the discovery of at least three water bottles filled with urine and one of them was found inside the freezer unit used to store the ice cream.

Five Muslim soldiers arrested over Fort Jackson poison probe: report

"Five individuals were arrested amid a probe into food poisoning at Fort Jackson U.S. military base, Fox News reported on Thursday (EST).

Sources told Fox the five men were detained in December over allegations that they attempted to poison the food supply at the South Carolina base.

They were all part of the base's Arabic translation training program, referred to in the Army as "Lima 09".

"Each of them uses Arabic as his first language," one source told Fox News.

In an earlier report, before the arrests emerged, a military source told Fox News the suspects were Muslims.

CBN News reported that the five arrested men were Islamic and cited a source who said they may have been in contact with five Washington, DC Muslims, who were arrested in December after authorities uncovered their plans to travel to Pakistan to wage jihad against the U.S.

"Are there that many terrorist supporters and stupid people in Michigan?"

My home town of Traverse City is considering declaring themselves a sanctuary city as we speak.

Yes, there are some very stupid people in Michigan. Traverse City was, at one time, a very conservative place. But ever since Michael 'The Hut' Moore squatted his fat a$$ in that area, it has become the "San Francisco of the Midwest".
