\u201cIslamophobia\u201d-obsessed Islamist Mehdi Hasan threw a hissy fit over the weekend after Fox News ran an objective report about Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed\u2019s Islamist ways.<\/p>\n

Hasan took to the social media platform X to cry about the report.<\/p>\n

\u201cDisgusting anti-Muslim bigotry and scare-mongering here, even by Fox standards,\u201d he wrote. \u201cWe would never allow this for a Black or Jewish politician.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Fox News<\/a> report simply talked about the concerns some national security and policy experts have about El-Sayed potentially being granted access to classified information given his blatant ties to radical Islam.<\/p>\n

For example, El-Sayed is good pals with Islamist hatemonger Hasan Piker, a man who has repeatedly said that America \u201cdeserved\u201d the Sept. 11 terror attacks that killed thousands of Americans.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone refusing to disavow America-hater Hasan Piker should never be elected to Congress,\u201d Daniel Samet of the American Enterprise Institute told Fox News. \u201cEl-Sayed will use his perch in the Senate to undermine America and empower its enemies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fox News also noted in its report that, earlier this year, El-Sayed \u201cwas introduced at a campaign rally by Amir Makled, a man who previously celebrated dead members of the terrorist organization Hezbollah as \u2018martyr[s].’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Amir Makled, opening speaker for Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed: \u201cIf you believe that DEI should be restored, show up. If you believe that trans healthcare must be defended, show up.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the opening of a mosque several months later, El-Sayed \u201cshared a stage with Sheikh Fadhel al-Sahlani, a cleric who has previously praised Hamas\u2019 Oct. 7 attack and made remarks minimizing the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust.\u201d<\/p>\n

El-Sayed also reportedly accepted an endorsement from Hamas and Hezbollah fan Osama Siblani.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Fox News, Chip Wyatt of Heritage Action insisted that all this ought to automatically disqualify El-Sayed.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis affiliation with communists like Hasan Piker who claimed America deserved 9\/11 combined with repeated calls to abolish ICE compound these concerns,\u201d Wyatt said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSenators handle sensitive intelligence with major national security implications,\u201d he continued. \u201cGiving someone like El-Sayed access would put American lives at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n

To make matters worse, El-Sayed even has a half-sister who seems to view the Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel as a \u201cblessing.\u201d<\/p>\n

America First Works president Ashley Hayek warned Fox News that El-Sayed is just a pawn in a much larger game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s a huge issue, and I don\u2019t think it stops at just him,\u201d she said. \u201cYou have to look at all the candidates that are being adored by groups like the DSA, the Working Families Party, UnidosUS, the Party for Socialism and Liberation \u2014 they\u2019re all tied together. A lot of these groups are also funded by Neville Singham.\u201d<\/p>\n

Singham is reportedly linked to the Communist Chinese Party.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bryce Poole of Advancing American Freedom stressed that the idea that El-Sayed might do something bad with classified information isn\u2019t just a hypothetical scenario \u2014 there\u2019s a precedent.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was not that long ago, it was 2024, when Robert Menendez was prosecuted and convicted for being a foreign agent of Egypt essentially and in 2025 I believe he was sentenced to 11 years,\u201d Poole said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, if I recall correctly none of this stuff that he actually shared with the Egyptians was alleged to have been classified, but it was still non-public information that was sensitive information that he only had access to by virtue of his office as a senator,\u201d he added. \u201cSo it\u2019s not that this is just a hypothetical problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Hasan, he faces mockery on X for his latest \u201cIslamophobia\u201d cry fest:<\/p>\n

\n

Mehdi thinks it\u2019s bigotry against Muslims when their ties to organizations that fund terrorism are questioned. Interesting that he thinks if a Jewish or black (or any other) politician had such ties, they wouldn\u2019t be scrutinized likewise.<\/p>\n

Hasan previously had a cry fest last week after The Daily Wire released its blockbuster thriller, \u201cRun Hide Fight: Infidels.\u201d<\/p>\n
