So is a vote for El-Sayed a vote for bin Laden?

 by Monica Showalter

We already know how woke-crazy Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's half-sister at the University of Chicago is -- a screaming lunatic radical whose loathing for the U.S. knows no bottom. Hear her in action, here and here.

Now we learn that his mom, Fatten Fathy Elkomy, had her own way of hating on America.

According to Townhall's Amy Curtis:

It turns out Fatten Fathy Elkomy worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA), which was also known as the Islamic African Relief Agency, from 1999 through at least 2004.

The IARA ran 40 offices worldwide and claimed to focus on healthcare and providing for orphans and others in areas of conflict.

In 2004, however, the U.S. Treasury Department designated the organization and five senior officials as an organization supporting terrorism.

This includes support for Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind behind the al-Qaeda terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2001. The group also supported al-Qaeda, Hamas, and the Taliban.

She is citing independent reporting from Natalie Winters who published her findings on X:

EXCLUSIVE: Abdul El-Sayed’s mother helped process tens of thousands in overseas transfers for an Islamic charity later convicted of secretly funneling $1.375 MILLION into Saddam-era Iraq—and blacklisted over alleged al-Qaeda, Taliban and Hamas ties. 🧵— Natalie Winters (@nataliegwinters) August 17, 2026

Suffice to say, it takes a special kind of nth-level hatred for America to want to work for an organization that would give money to al-Qaeda, not just before the 9/11 terror attack, but after it, too, and for the next three years, when al-Qaeda's name stank to high heavens.

Unlike her neighbors, unlike the people she stopped next to at stop signs while driving, and shopped next to at grocery stores with, and went to the doctor and encountered, she loved herself some al-Qaeda, some Hamas, some Taliban, plus Saddam's monstrous tyranny in Iraq, which was under sanctions. All of these terrorist organizations and states got money from her Islamic American Relief Agency, and still would be getting it, were it not for the lawmen shutting the group down following the indictments.

But while El-Sayed's parents divorced when he was young and each remarried quickly under circumstances that suggest skeevy immigration activity, and El-Sayed didn't live with her for very long, El-Sayed's dad was similar. He was named as another helper in the lawmen's exhibited documents (the pair were never arrested, probably because they were not the leadership of the organization, and lawmen pick their battles) and in addition, he was closely associated with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, the incubator of al-Qaeda and the home of al-Qaeda's Number Two, Ayman al-Zawahiri, who later became Number One after bin Laden's rubout by U.S. Special Forces in 2011. Egyptian, Muslim Brotherhood, that's where you go if you are a terrorist-minded Egyptian.

So let's not forget that al-Qaeda's lead hijacker, Mohamed Atta, also was Egyptian, too.

So imagine belonging to such an organization in those dark days following the monstrous attack, and keeping at it. 

Nobody picks his parents of course, but parents do indeed infuse their kids with their values. El-Sayed hasn't condemned either of these al-Qaeda succorers, though he claims to be respectable now, but his silence on them and their activities is pretty telling. He should be condemning them to high heavens, but instead, he says nothing, and hopes American voters will send him to the Senate to rule over them -- in ways bin Laden could only dream of.

Obviously, this is problematic and voters shouldn't wave this guy through as Michigan's senator. Too much blood and treasure has been spilled for any American to support him. Unless, of course their hatred matches that of El-Sayed's parents, or they simply don't know. In that case, we would be in a world of trouble.
