I don’t think he will answer, but he will always talk around the subject because disputing an Imam and the Quran is not in the best interest of the accuser. I find it strange that we don’t seem to hear a peep from the LGBTQ gang.
If the Republicans can’t win this Senate race, we are all doomed. In my heart, I can’t believe Americans would vote for this person, and if they do, that is very scary. It means the battle to win is that much more important, along with getting our country back on the rails. All IMO.
“The imam at the mosque that Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed frequently attends has railed against homosexuality, arguing that it is “against human nature,” and complained that all too often, Jews are teaching Islam in American universities, introducing “confusion” and “suspicion” to young minds.
Abdelhamid Algizawi serves as the imam at the Muslim Community Association of Ann Arbor, the mosque where El-Sayed frequently prays. Three days after El-Sayed eked out a one-point victory over Haley Stevens in the Democratic primary, on August 7, Algizawi described the win as a “very big victory for the Muslims, Hamdillah, and for the Ummah, and for the Islamic nation.”
“Right now, the community has to change their minds, this is an obligation,” Algizawi said in a video captured by the Middle East Media Research Institute. “When we have a Muslim Senator or a Muslim, you know, in office, any office or any post for the Muslim, this can work for goodness, this can change the society.” He said it is incumbent on Muslims to cast their ballots for El-Sayed in November and recounted with dismay last month that his own daughter said she wouldn’t vote for a Muslim “running for Senate” because “he’s working against women.”
Unlike Jews and some Christians, most Muslims do not formally join a mosque in order to attend prayer services there, and many pray at several different mosques. But El-Sayed typically prays at the MCA of Ann Arbor, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
Algizawi’s sermons are littered with inflammatory remarks about gays and homosexuality, bemoaning its prevalence in America and arguing that it is incumbent upon Muslims to reject it because “it cannot bring stability to life” and “people cannot give children from this relationship. You understand?”
“Here in America—in America, there is, you know, it became a fashion these days: homosexuality and LGBTQ and something like that becomes a fashion everywhere. And even this has reached the Muslim community, and people ask what the [sic] Islamic stand on that … Islam as a religion refuse,” Algizawi said in 2022 remarks at a Sacramento-area Islamic center. “Why? Because there is purposes for marriage … This relationship cannot bring stability to your life … We are looking for children when we get married. People cannot give children from this relationship. You understand?”
He continued: “So this is against human nature, by the way. Also, Muslims cannot compromise their religion. We cannot say: ‘Hey, because I am a Muslim, I’m American, we are living in America, we have…’ No, we cannot compromise our religion.”
