El-Sayed's pledge to follow Sharia for life bars him from taking office in January 

In 2009, “Abdul” El-Sayed proclaimed that he is “obligated” to follow brutal Islamic “Sharia” law until the day he dies.

By 2017, with an election on the line, El-Sayed changed his story, denying to reporters that he had ever said such a thing. But unfortunately for El-Sayed, the internet never forgets. His interview with the New York Times declaring his loyalty to Sharia above all else still exists on the worldwide web.

Senate Standing Rule II provides a mechanism to prevent anti-Constitution candidates like El-Sayed from taking office. Let’s make sure the Senate uses it!

Fax Congress now to keep Sharia out of the U.S. Senate!

El-Sayed's campaign victory speech sent a chill through Jewish Americans in particular. The man who calls himself “Abdul” suddenly lost his Midwestern affectations, switching his adopted Michigan nasal twang to full-throated Arabic when he proclaimed his victory Tuesday night, shouting “My name is Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed” as he took the podium.

By Friday, El-Sayed had declared, “Michigan is the capital of Arab America.”

I’ve got news for Mr. El-Sayed — there are no “Arab” or any other demographic “capitals” in our republic. Just one nation, under God, with liberty for all.

But El-Sayed represents a growing number of Sharia-adherent politicians winning office in America, provoking growing cries among the immigrant Muslim population to “Make America Muslim!”

Ibrahim Yassine, a man considered one of the premier Islamic scholars in the U.S., ordered mosque congregants last month to make America Muslim by imposing Islamic civilization, aka Sharia, on the USA.

Sharia is wholly incompatible with the U.S. Constitution. As a result, a person cannot swear allegiance to Sharia and the United States Constitution.

As Matthew 6:24 clearly states, one cannot serve two masters, and Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed has already made clear his allegiance is to “Allah” and Sharia, not to the American people and our precious Constitution.

The Senate Standing Rule II – Presentation of Credentials and Questions of Privilege, states that any member-elect of the United States Senate can object to another member-elect taking the oath of office.

We need senators to take a stand for America, our Constitution, and our way of life. We need the U.S. Senate to declare Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed UNFIT for OFFICE!

Fax Congress now to keep Sharia out of the U.S. Senate!

And as you respond, please give to help us defend Israel. With so many Muslims winning office around the country, and the terrifying growth of vicious antisemitism around the world and even in our own backyards, Christian in Defense of Israel’s mission is more important than ever.

Please help us make a difference with your gift today.

Together for Israel,

Mat Staver
Chairman
Christians in Defense of Israel

P.S. Don’t forget! Fax the Senate now! Declare El-Sayed unfit for office!
