密歇根州底特律—— 密歇根州联邦参议院民主党候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德与部分穆斯林选民之间存在显著的认知脱节：这些选民反对他在堕胎和LGBTQ议题上的立场，但表示仍计划投票给他。
“他是戴着穆斯林面具的民主党人，”一位要求匿名以避免在社交媒体上遭到报复的北美伊斯兰协会（ISNA）大会与会者告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“说白了，他就像伊尔汗·奥马尔，但却是男性版。”
他接着表示，尽管他反对埃尔赛义德在堕胎和LGBTQ权利方面的立场，但他“希望他能当选”，以改善其所在社区的“代表性”。
福克斯新闻数字频道在劳动节周末期间亲临底特律举行的北美伊斯兰协会年度会议现场，埃尔赛义德在会上发表了主旨演讲，此前部分会议发言人的过往言论引发争议，这一事件也让外界对埃尔赛义德与该组织的联系及其竞选团队周边的政治联盟加大了审查力度。

福克斯新闻数字频道总共采访了约10名与会者，其中一些人要求匿名或拒绝被录音，但同意在不具名的情况下发言。多名受访者表示，他们在社会议题上的个人观点与支持埃尔赛义德之间存在紧张关系，尤其是在堕胎和LGBTQ问题上。
埃尔赛义德支持将“罗伊诉韦德案”的判例纳入成文法、为计划生育组织提供资金、建立包容LGBTQ群体的性教育课程，并允许医生为儿童进行变性手术。伊斯兰神学通常对堕胎、性别和性取向持更为限制性的看法，尽管不同穆斯林群体的解读存在差异。
另一位海军退伍军人受访者告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他强烈反对埃尔赛义德在堕胎和LGBTQ性教育等议题上的立场，但认为共和党在2024年大选后让他失望了。
“我曾投票给唐纳德·特朗普。谈到价值观，我是共和党人。但不幸的是，他们背叛了我们，”他说。
他指出特朗普政府参与海外战争以及生活成本问题，是促使他尽管支持民主党候选人的自由派理念仍选择支持埃尔赛义德的原因。多名在会议上接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访的与会者（包括一些拒绝接受公开采访的人）表示，他们在2024年大选中投票给了特朗普，但计划在中期选举中支持埃尔赛义德。

“我们担心税收资金的去向。其中很多资金被用于支持海外战争，支持那些并非美国盟友的国家，”长期支持埃尔赛义德的祖宾告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“因此我认为，这些是不仅在穆斯林选民中，而且在密歇根州所有普通选民中都能引起共鸣的主要议题。”
特朗普对以色列的支持以及他在伊朗的军事行动日益成为部分选民担忧的焦点，民调显示美国民众对美国卷入中东冲突的不满情绪不断上升。
2024年，特朗普作为共和党候选人在密歇根州阿拉伯裔选民中表现异常出色。如果今年11月共和党在该群体中的支持率大幅下滑，可能会对该党在参议院的竞选前景造成不利影响。不过，共和党正试图争取心怀不满的犹太民主党人，以获得优势。
一些接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访的与会者在得知埃尔赛义德支持堕胎和LGBTQ权利后感到震惊。
“等等，他支持LGBTQ？”一位因社交原因要求匿名的与会者告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“我真的不认为这是好事，尤其是因为这是伊斯兰教，禁止LGBTQ行为，我也确实认为人们应该放弃……堕胎，因为这是在夺走生命。”

这位与会者表示，他认为如果埃尔赛义德的社会观点在穆斯林社区广为人知，他的支持率可能会下降。其他人则表示，他们认为穆斯林群体对社会议题的重视程度取决于代际差异。
“所以没错，阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德在这些问题上的观点，也许和我更相似，相比我们的父母、祖父母那一代人，确实可能会有一点摩擦，但这很正常，”祖宾说。“我确实认为，这些问题很可能会成为穆斯林社区内的讨论热点。”
一些接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访的人士承认，穆斯林社区存在一些根深蒂固的保守信仰，但辩称该社区将能够在11月投票时忽略这些分歧。
“他在教育方面会表现出色，在医疗领域也会很棒，”参加此次会议的福齐告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“5%到10%的议题上，人们可能会有分歧。但我们必须着眼大局，看看他如何能对密歇根州、整个国家以及我们这里所有人产生积极影响。”

少数接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访的与会者表示，如果有穆斯林共和党人在本州参选，他们的社区会感到兴奋，而另一些人则强调，共和党的声誉可能会阻碍其吸引阿拉伯裔选民的能力。
“没错，如果你是一个好人、一位优秀的政治家，代表共和党参选，并且你相信自己的价值观，相信自己能做出成绩，那就去参选吧，我相信你也能从这个社区获得大量支持，”祖宾说。

“我认为穆斯林以共和党身份参选非常困难，因为坦率地说，很多共和党选民确实对我们抱有强烈偏见，”另一位要求匿名的与会者告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

Muslim voters at the Islamic Society of North America’s annual conference took issue with Abdul El-Sayed’s positions on LGBTQ rights and abortion, but say that other issues motivate them to support him.

DETROIT, MICHIGAN — Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, faces a striking disconnect among some Muslim voters who oppose his positions on abortion and LGBTQ issues yet say they plan to vote for him anyway.
“He is a Democrat with a Muslim mask,” one attendee of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) Convention, who requested anonymity to avoid social reprisals, told Fox News Digital. “Basically he’s like Ilhan Omar, but like a male version.”
He went on to say that, while he takes objection to El-Sayed’s positions on abortion and LGBTQ rights, he “want[s] him to get elected” to improve his community’s “representation.”
Fox News Digital was on the ground at the Islamic Society of North America’s annual conference in Detroit over Labor Day weekend, where El-Sayed delivered the marquee speech amid controversy over past remarks by some conference speakers. The episode has added scrutiny to El-Sayed’s ties to the organization and the political coalition surrounding his campaign.

In total, Fox News Digital spoke to about 10 attendees at the conference, some of whom requested anonymity or declined to be recorded but agreed to speak on background. Several described a tension between their personal views on social issues and their support for El-Sayed, particularly on abortion and LGBTQ issues.
El-Sayed supports codifying Roe v. Wade into law, funding Planned Parenthood, establishing LGBTQ-inclusive sex education and allowing doctors to perform sex-change operations on children. Islamic theology generally takes a more restrictive view of abortion, gender and sexuality, though interpretations vary among Muslims.
Another attendee, a Navy veteran, told Fox News Digital that he strongly opposes El-Sayed’s positions on issues like abortion and LGBTQ sex education, but feels like the Republican Party has let him down following the 2024 election.
“I voted for Donald Trump. When it comes to values, I’m a Republican. But unfortunately they have betrayed us,” he said.
He pointed to the Trump administration’s involvement in foreign wars and cost-of-living concerns as the issues pushing him to support El-Sayed despite the Democrat’s liberal beliefs. Multiple attendees who spoke to Fox News Digital at the conference, including some who declined to be interviewed on the record, said they voted for Trump in 2024 but were planning on supporting El-Sayed in the midterms.
MICHIGAN SENATE RACE: EL-SAYED’S TIES TO EXTREMIST FUEL ANTISEMITISM CONCERNS AMONG JEWISH VOTERS

“We’re concerned about where our tax dollars are going to. A lot of these tax dollars are going to support foreign wars, support countries that aren’t the United States,” Zubin, a longtime El-Sayed supporter, told Fox News Digital. “So I think these are the main issues that resonate not just with the Muslim voters but the everyday voter in all of Michigan.”
Trump’s support for Israel and his military operations in Iran have become growing points of concern for some voters, with polls showing rising dissatisfaction over U.S. involvement in Middle Eastern conflicts.
Trump did uncharacteristically well for a Republican among Michigan Arab Americans in 2024. If support for the GOP slides heavily with that demographic in November, it could spell trouble for the party’s Senate prospects. Republicans, however, are seeking to pick off disaffected Jewish Democrats to gain an edge themselves.
Some attendees who spoke with Fox News Digital were shocked to learn about El-Sayed’s support for abortion and LGBTQ rights.
“Wait, he’s supporting LGBTQ?” one conference attendee, who requested to remain anonymous for social reasons, told Fox News Digital. “I don’t really think that’s good, especially because this is Islam and it prohibits LGBTQ and I do really think that people should abandon… abortion since they’re taking a life away.”

The attendee said he believes if El-Sayed’s social views were more widely known in the Islamic community, his support might decline. Others said they believe the importance of social views among Muslims is dependent on generation.
“So yes, Abdul El-Sayed, maybe his views when it comes to these things, maybe more similar to mine as compared to our parents, our grandparents, yes, with those generations. There may be a little bit of friction, but this is natural,” Zubin said. “I do think, yes, these are probably going to be talking points within the Muslim community.”
Some individuals who spoke to Fox News Digital acknowledged that the Islamic community has some deeply held conservative beliefs, but argued that the community will be able to look past that come November.
“He’s gonna be great for education, and he’s gonna be great for medical,” Fauzi, who was attending the conference, told Fox News Digital. “5-10% of the issues, people may differ. But we have to look at the big picture [and] how he can be impactful for the state of Michigan, the country at large, and all of us here.”

A handful of attendees who spoke with Fox News Digital said their community would be excited if a Muslim Republican ran in their state, while others stressed that the party’s reputation could hamper its ability to appeal to Arab Americans.
“Yes, if you’re a good person, a good politician and running for the Republican Party and you believe in your values and that you can do good, go ahead and run, and I’m sure you can win a lot of support from this community as well,” Zubin said.

“I think it’s very difficult for a Muslim to run as a Republican because, frankly, a lot of Republican voters do tend to have a strong bias against us,” another attendee, who requested to remain anonymous, told Fox News Digital.
