Abdul El-Sayed’s dad sits on board of Islamic charity accused of funneling cash to Saddam Hussein

Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed’s father sits on the board of an Islamic charity that was previously accused of funneling cash to late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s regime.

Imam Dr. Mohammed El-Sayed is currently a board member of Life for Relief and Development, a charity he’s worked with since at least 2020, according to tax forms.

In 2004, the US military and FBI raided Life for Relief and Development’s Baghdad facilities, confiscating 20 boxes and 12 computers amid suspicions that the charity had been aiding insurgents, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Later, the Islamic charity’s public relations coordinator Muthanna al-Hanooti faced charges for serving as an unregistered agent for Hussein’s government and pleaded guilty to flouting the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

Life for Relief and Development was accused by the US government of concocting a conspiracy to funnel funds from America through Jordan and into Hussein’s Iraq.

“LRD’s highest management levels—i.e., its President—knew of the conduct giving rise to the apparent violations and directed the funds transfers to Iraq via Jordan,” the government noted around the time.

The group eventually reached a $780,000 settlement with the US government, which dropped its case against the charity in 2014.

The senior El-Sayed’s ties to the Islamic charity that sent money into Hussein’s Iraq were first reported by the Washington Free Beacon.

In addition to its history of sending money to Hussein’s regime, Life for Relief and Development has been accused of other ties to terrorism.

This is something many seem to be blissfully unaware of, dismissive of, or entirely ignorant about it. The warning signs from Europe are apparently not enough.

While that is most likey true, do we have nore Jihadists or Americans in Michigan? Hopefully we have more Americans. Thus, geetting out this information may sway them and counter the Jihadists. The only problem is that this information was only released just before the election, and not before many have already cast ballots.

The more that comes out the worse it is and it does not seem to matter all because MSM has given this bastard the full devotion and protection any rat gets simply because he is the Dem candidate.

Jihad. It runs in the family. The international 1.5 billion TOTALITARIAN tribe supports jihad. Barbarian MoFos want 6.8 billion humans murdered.

I think this country is going to go through a costly divorce in the form of a civil war.

That demonic Obama creature did everything he could as President to promote the Muslim Brotherhood. Even to the destruction of innocents in Egypt.

Abdul El-Sayed is Muslim Brotherhood. It will be to the destruction of innocents in the USA if he gets all he desires out of Michigan.

This loser is literally a Hamas terrorists supporter.

And probably going to be a Senator.

It’s like electing a Nazi to the Senate during WWII.
