Democratic Senate candidate El-Sayed’s mother worked for Hamas, Taliban-linked group
We’ve seen the Hot Air report from four days ago on this story. Here the Jerusalem Post goes deeper.
[Jpost] The birth mother of Democratic US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed worked for a designated terror group that financed Hamas
..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...
and the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
, the Midwesterner first revealed on Tuesday. The information in the report was separately verified by The Jerusalem Post.

El-Sayed was mostly raised by his Egyptian father, Mohammed El-Sayed, and his father's second wife, Jacqueline. He does not mention his mother - Fatten Fathy Elkomy - often in his campaigns, as she remarried and returned to the Middle East when he was young.

However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
the Midwesterner was the first to suggest that this omission might be intentional.

It revealed that for five years (1999-2004) Elkomy worked for the Islamic American/African Relief Agency (IARA). Headquartered in Khartoum, Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
, with 40 offices throughout the world, IARA purported to work on health care, orphans, and disadvantaged people in areas of conflict.

However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
according to a US Department of the Treasury announcement on October 13, 2004, IARA engaged in a joint program with an institute involved in providing assistance to Taliban fighters, and also was responsible for moving funds to the Paleostinian territories for use in terrorist activities, notably serving as a conduit to Hamas in one Western European country.

IARA was designated, along with five officials, on the same date.

Subsequently, the Treasury revealed that IARA was tied to Maktab al-Khidamat (MK), an organization co-founded and financed by the late Osama bin Laden
...... who was laid out deader than a mackerel, right next to the mackerel......
and which was the precursor organization of al Qaeda.

It also revealed that international offices of IARA provided direct financial support for Osama bin Laden, and that a former Bin Laden lieutenant served as the director of IARA's operations in Afghanistan.

In March 2007, the Department of Justice charged IARA-US with a 33-count indictment for illegally transferring funds to Iraq.

Evidence used to secure those convictions in USA v IARA included 945 exhibits detailing phone calls, faxes, wire transfers, tax forms, emails, bank statements, and other documents. Within the list of exhibits, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri in May 2010, Elkomy was mentioned 14 times, relating to eight wire transfers, five recorded phone calls, and an IARA transfer request of $24,607.34 to IARA's Iraq office.

Mohammed Elkomy, her brother (and el-Sayed's uncle) is also mentioned dozens of times in the exhibits.

Neither Mohammed or Fatten Elkomy were charged or indicted as co-conspirators in the case. No IARA individuals were actually charged with terrorism, but the organization did plead guilty to conspiring to violate financial sanctions to send money to Iraq, and the organization dissolved in 2016.

When interviewed by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in 2004, El-Sayed's mother denied any connections between IARA and terrorists, adding that she has "been working there serving orphans and children with at least one deceased parent, and it breaks my heart they’re not going to get any help."

According to her LinkedIn, she has worked as a psychiatric Nurse Practitioner for Missouri Behavioral Health Services since July 2013.

WHO IS EL-SAYED?
Abdulrahman Mohammed El-Sayed, was born in 1984 in Michigan to Egyptian immigrant parents.

He studied at the University of Michigan, Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, and Columbia University, where he earned his MD. He also has a doctorate in public health.

He ran unsuccessfully for Michigan governor in 2018 and became nationally known as a progressive/left-wing Democrat. He recently won the Democratic nomination for US Senate in Michigan in August 2026, defeating Rep. Haley Stevens. He will face Republican Mike Rogers in November.

If elected, he would become the first Moslem elected to the US Senate.

Central to his campaign is his criticism of Israel's conduct in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
and a war he describes as genocide.

El-Sayed was condemned for comments he made following an attack on a Michigan synagogue in March, saying, "Hurt people hurt people."

is El-Sayed a MD

**Yes, Abdul El-Sayed holds a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree**, which he earned in 2014 from Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons. He also holds a D.Phil. in public health from the University of Oxford and a bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan.

**He is not a licensed practicing physician**, as records indicate he never completed a medical residency or obtained a medical license in Michigan or New York. While he identifies as a "physician and epidemiologist," his professional career has focused on public health administration, academia, and policy rather than direct patient care.
