Abdulrahman El-Sayed
Stellar House Publishing is a company that focuses on “lost and hidden information regarding the world’s religions, mythologies and spiritual traditions.”
It cites various instructions from the Quran, including:
Quran 8:12: “I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers.”
Quran 9:5, “When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them.”
Quran 9:73: “Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate.”
Quran 5:51: “Believers, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another…”
Quran 22: 19-20: “Garments of fire have been prepared for the unbelievers. Scalding water shall be poured upon their heads, melting their skins and that which is in their bellies. They shall be lashed with rods of iron.”
Now the Muslim Michigan voters chose to represent them in the U.S. Senate, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, has confirmed he’ll swear his oath of office holding those statements.
Muslim advocates and promoters justify the statements of hate as being instructions for “defensive” warfare.
And they cite Thomas Jefferson’s ownership and study of the Quran as if he subscribed, when in fact he likely studied the book to understand the Muslim Barbary Pirates who at that time were marauding across North Africa and the Mediterranean Sea, killing travelers randomly and stealing cargoes.
Social media commenters responded:
“How can someone take the oath on a book that directly calls for violence against civil liberties and the constitution? The Quran commands violence against non-Muslims and violates our civil liberties on freedom of religion!”
“Swear on a book that says it’s okay to lie to infidels while building the strength to conquer them. What a useless oath that is.”
“”Thomas Jefferson did own a copy of the Quran, and it is a documented historical fact. However, there’s an important distinction: Jefferson owned and studied the Quran, but he did not swear his presidential oath of office on it.”
A report at the Daily Signal said El-Sayed’s “statements and associations supporting radical Islamists and antisemitism are raising concerns about him being given access to classified information.”
In fact, some have wondered how anyone subscribing to a religious book that advocates the death and destruction of Christians and Jews can swear allegiance to the U.S. Constitution.
El-Sayed said in an interview he’ll use the Quran for his oath.
“Which Quran, we’re not sure,” he told NPR. “I mean, Thomas Jefferson had a copy of the Quran. So when Keith Ellison was sworn in to Congress, he swore in on that copy. There’s also the University of Michigan holds the first Quran in the state of Michigan. It’s very, very old, and that might be the choice.”
The Daily Signal explained, “The Michigan Democrat is raising concerns over his alleged embrace of radical Islamist ideology and antisemitism. During his campaign, El-Sayed was sharply criticized for downplaying the terrorist attack on a Michigan synagogue, saying that ‘hurt people hurt people.’ He later told members of the state Democratic Party’s Jewish Caucus, ‘I made a mistake,’ referring to his initial comments, adding, ‘If my statement caused pain, I’m sorry. It was not what I intended to do,’ JTA reported. El-Sayed also refused to condemn the Islamist terror group Hamas; refused to speak in support of the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei; refused to clearly state Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state; campaigned with notorious antisemite Hasan Piker; and refused to condemn a campaign ad in his support that was widely acknowledged to be antisemitic.”
There have been allegations of his family’s deep ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., earlier said such ties, if proven, would be disqualifying, the Daily Signal reported.
“Any congressional candidate with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood should be immediately disqualified,” Miller told the Daily Signal. “Public office is a public trust, and it must never be entrusted to those who hate everything our country stands for.”
Others have suggested calling for a background check for El-Sayed before he is given access to any classified information in his Senate office.
Independent journalist Nick Shirley interviewed a Muslim to promised, if he saw someone burning, or trying to burn, a Quran, he would murder that person and their “family.”
