Abdul el-Sayed and Hasan Piker
Dearborn the first Muslim majority city in the U.S.
Michigan has a significant and growing Muslim population, particularly in Dearborn — now the first Arab-American majority city in the United States.
This demographic reality has already produced bombastic elected officials like Rep. Rashida Tlaib, whose outspoken views have often put her at odds with mainstream American values on issues ranging from Israel to national security.
While diversity has long been part of America’s story, we must confront the reality when that diversity imports ideologies hostile to our founding principles of liberty, equality, and unapologetic patriotism.
Now, U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is aggressively trying to capitalize on this base to pull off a major upset in Michigan’s crowded Democratic primary. He faces more established and prominent contenders, including U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens and Michigan State Sen. Mallory McMorrow.
El-Sayed is clearly taking a page straight out of the playbook of Zohran Mamdani, the radical who rode progressive and identity-driven momentum all the way to becoming Mayor of New York City in 2026.
Like Mamdani, El-Sayed is positioning himself as the bold, fresh voice for the far-left fringe, courting voters who prioritize grievance politics over American exceptionalism.
Additionally, he recently held a high-profile campaign rally with Twitch streamer Hasan Piker — a fringe leftist who has openly stated that “America deserved 9/11” and has downplayed the rapes that occurred during the October 7th attacks.
Piker, an early backer of Mamdani’s mayoral run, has repeatedly shown contempt for this country, admitting he holds no real patriotism in his heart for the United States.
