According to the Middle East Forum’s report, El-Sayed’s campaign operated an exhibitor booth inside the convention hall, where campaign workers promoted his candidacy, solicited donations and recruited volunteers.

Sep 21, 2026.

Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, is asking the Internal Revenue Service to investigate whether the Islamic Society of North America violated federal rules governing tax-exempt organizations by reportedly allowing campaign activity for Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed at its annual convention.

Self sent a letter Wednesday to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, citing a report from the Middle East Forum about El-Sayed’s appearance at the 63rd annual ISNA Convention in Detroit earlier this month.

El Sayed-aligned Islamic council with alleged terrorism financing ties issued fatwa to financially support Muslim candidates.

By Mia Cathell.
Published September 20, 2026.
A preeminent Islamic council with organizational ties to a suspected financial collaborator of terrorism has authorized followers of Islam to flood Muslim and anti-Israel candidates with financial support using monetary obligations under Sharia law.

The Fiqh Council of North America earlier this election year issued a fatwa, a religious order in Islam, instructing Muslims across the United States that they are allowed to send portions of their annual Islamic dues — mandatory almsgiving known as “zakat” — to the campaigns of Muslim candidates and other 2026 contenders opposed to Israel..

Congress needs to investigate whether or not Islam is a clear and present danger to the United States.

All these Islamic COVER GROUPS are tentacles of the Islamic Brotherhood and most of us know what they want for this planet:

JIHAD until Dar Al Islam.

It sure seems possible (with my limited knowledge) that this guy should be more closely scrutinized. In the meantime, know that in a million years he would never get my vote.
