At a time when the US is grappling with the issue of Muslims, son of Egyptian Muslim immigrants Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is all set to run for the post of Governor of Michigan state. Having served as the executive director of the Detroit Health Department, he shifted to politics. Despite the discrimination against Muslims in the United States, his election manager thinks he has a fairly strong chance of winning. “The electorate [in Michigan] doesn’t know what it wants, but it wants something different,” says El-Sayed’s manager, Max Gloss. div.TT_wrapper { <p> background-color: #EFEFEF; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; /* float: left; width: 30%; margin-right: 1em; */ border: 0; } <p>div.TT_wrapper div.TT_tweet_link_wrapper a { font: normal 700 medium "Helvetica Neue",sans-serif; font-size: 0.8rem; line-height: 1.5em; text-transform: uppercase; } <p>div.TT_wrapper div.TT_text a:hover, div.TT_wrapper div.TT_footer a:hover { text-shadow: none; color: #E64946; } <p>div.TT_wrapper div.TT_tweet_link_wrapper a { color: #E64946; } <p>.TT_wrapper a.TT_tweet_link img { display: none; }
Still, the issue of El-Sayed’s religion is prominent on his mind. After his stump speech at Adrian, Michigan, El-Sayed was asked whether he was planning to introduce the sharia law to the US if he would succeed in becoming the first Muslim governor of the US. Replying that he would obviously not, he also added that he strictly believed in the separation of Church and State, indicating that he had no interest in mixing his religion with his political work.
“If I am going to want to be able to put my face on the ground 34 times a day like I do because I’m Muslim, I want to make sure no one can take that right away from me. And I will not take that right away from anyone else,” he said, adding that he had every right to practice whatever religion he wanted in his home because that is the freedom for which the US Constitution stands for. He also insisted that it is the separation of Church and State that allowed people to have the freedom to practice whatever religion they wanted to.
As to how he will be received as the first Muslim governor in American history, he pointed out at the election of John F. Kennedy’s as president – which was a remarkable point in American history because he was the first Catholic to become president – that too in a country that has had a troubled history with Catholics.
If elected, El-Sayed promises to increase the minimum wage to $15 and to legalize marijuana, suggesting a very bold and modern mentality. He has also refused to accept any contributions from large corporations, indicating that he would prefer to remain free from the control of any vested interests.
If the new Obama is Muslim, that confirms that the old Obama is also Muslim.
New Obama...same as New Coke...and you know how good that went...
>Despite the discrimination against Muslims in the United States
Yeah, islam is such a welcoming “faith” around the world you ignorant moron. Indiscriminate acceptance of islam will get you killed.
Stupid and evil people follow islam, intelligent people keep their distance from the cult of islam.
He’s running on the Allah Acbar ticket...
His slogan sounds familiar.
If you like your head, you can keep your head.
No, they have their Muslim faith in common.
LOL! He is the new Obama!
Promises to raise minimum wage to $15 and legalize pot. Just those two, alone, would keep me from voting for him. And he wants to compare electing the first muslim governor, to the first Catholic president?? No similarity AT ALL. Catholics believe in God. Muslims believe in a demon-inspired false god they call allah. No comparison at all!
come on Michigan....you love these people so much, give us one of them for Governor!

Can you say taqiyya? The only difference in islamic jihadists and moderate muslims is the methodology they employ to achieve their goals. But, make no mistake, their goals are the same.
So are they now admitting that Obama is a Muslim?
Never mind his platform or his god, you need not look past the D next to his name, the party is 10 times more evil than the worst Islam has to offer, ISIS never taxed my Dr. Pepper. I don’t care if his platform is to get me laid, no dice.
Who dubbed him the new Obama, his campaign manager? His mommy? LOL. I dub him a nobody. The rat nominee will be former State Senate Minority Leader Gretchen Whitmer, or perhaps, if he decides to run, 1998 nominee Geoffrey Fieger, I’m surprised he’s still breathing after what John Engler did to him. I thought any democrats that fail to even carry Washtenaw County (I hadn’t noticed but Shillery did better than than in Wayne!) shriveled up like a snail in a salt pile.
Someone recently posted a blog report from a woman who grew up in Utica NY, moved away and then returned. She was stunned by how the city had changed.
So let me just summarize: the social worker at the school is Muslim, the administrator who ok’s homeschooling is Muslim, the CPS worker is Muslim, the nurse practitioner at the ER is Muslim, the doctor at the ER is Muslim. These are positions of authority that wield a lot of power.
He was awarded the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans, founded by Paul Soros and Daisy Soros, which is a United States postgraduate fellowship for immigrants and children of immigrants.
The main reason we should run a tough candidate against him.
“Muzzie says he had no interest in mixing his religion with his political work...”
He’s a liar. They’re ALL liars. Never forget that. It’s part of their “culture” and strategy for acceptance. They can all burn in hell as far as I’m concerned.
he is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” Biden said.
