穆斯林兄弟会已成为密歇根州参议院竞选的焦点议题，共和党试图将民主党候选人阿卜杜勒·赛义德塑造成同情与伊斯兰恐怖主义相关势力的人，而赛义德则辩称，自己正被不公平地指控与前总统约翰·F·肯尼迪和贝拉克·奥巴马曾遭遇的“双重忠诚”质疑如出一辙。
此前共和党一直试图凸显赛义德家族与穆斯林兄弟会的关联以及他过去针对该组织的言论，赛义德于本周末先是在与一名选民的激烈交锋中，随后又在接受记者采访时，公开谴责了穆斯林兄弟会——这个1928年在埃及成立的伊斯兰政治运动。
“我想谈谈他们为何要将此作为竞选收官战的核心议题，”赛义德周日在弗林特的一场集会后对记者表示，“他们想诉诸某种隐性的双重忠诚论调。这在我国政坛由来已久，即认为那些祈祷方式略有不同的人可能存在双重忠诚。当年肯尼迪竞选总统时，他们就用了这套说辞，声称因为他是天主教徒，就会对他国存在某种效忠。而奥巴马总统也遭遇了同样的情况，仅仅因为他父亲有穆斯林血统，尽管他父亲公开宣称自己是基督徒。”
他补充道：“这并非新鲜事。当他们对民众生活中的真正议题拿不出任何主张时，就会使出这一招。”
在2026年中期选举中至关重要的参议院竞选进入最后几周之际，共和党愈发频繁地拿赛义德的穆斯林信仰做文章。
总统唐纳德·特朗普在周五晚间的竞选集会上，将赛义德称为“穆罕默德”，并虚假宣称这位民主党前公职人员是“圣战分子”。这些言论已成为特朗普近期集会和社交媒体评论中的固定环节。
赛义德的共和党对手、前众议员迈克·罗杰斯周日在CNN节目中表示，他“从未称他为恐怖分子”，并称自己“并不代表总统发言”。
但罗杰斯指责赛义德与穆斯林兄弟会结盟。
穆斯林兄弟会是一个拥有全球分支的伊斯兰运动，曾在其发源地埃及掌握重要政治权力。该组织官方拒绝使用暴力手段实现目标，但该组织的分支曾与过去的多起袭击事件有关联。
特朗普于去年11月签署了一项行政令，启动相关程序，考虑将穆斯林兄弟会的部分分会或其他分支机构列为外国恐怖组织。
“你知道的，他想扮演受害者的角色。这根本不是那么回事。这关乎你的思维方式，而非你的祈祷方式，”罗杰斯在接受CNN记者达纳·巴什采访时表示，“这关乎你的意识形态，以及这种意识形态有多危险。”
共和党将赛义德与穆斯林兄弟会及伊斯兰极端主义挂钩的企图，于本周末在卡罗的一场市政厅活动中公开爆发。
一名与会者反复向赛义德追问穆斯林兄弟会的问题，称他至今未听到候选人公开否认该组织。
“阿卜杜勒，你会公开否认穆斯林兄弟会吗？”这名男子在人群中喊道。
赛义德在否认该运动后，怒斥这名男子暗中假设他存在“双重忠诚”。
“你假设……因为我是穆斯林，就会在某种程度上效忠于美国宪法之外的东西，”赛义德说道。他随后补充道：“对我而言，宪法是指路明灯。”
这场交锋结束后，这名观众离场，现场观众则为赛义德欢呼。
共和党发起攻击之前，赛义德同父异母姐姐的旧推文在网上被重新曝光，其中包括2012年的一条帖子，她在其中写道“与我母亲聊了她70年代初在读大学期间参与穆斯林兄弟会活动的精彩经历”。
赛义德曾表示，他并不清楚母亲在1970年代在埃及做了什么，解释称父母离婚时他年仅3岁，且多年未见母亲。他主要由父亲和继母在密歇根州抚养长大。
2012年，赛义德还签署了一封公开信，支持当时的埃及总统穆罕默德·穆尔西。穆尔西当年早些时候在推翻埃及威权政府后，获得穆斯林兄弟会的支持当选总统。
一年前，他曾在《赫芬顿邮报》发表专栏文章，呼吁美国支持埃及的阿拉伯青年抗议者，并淡化相关担忧：支持埃及民主会导致该国被穆斯林兄弟会掌控。
在最近的一场辩论中，罗杰斯指出赛义德的母亲曾为伊斯兰美国救济协会工作。该非营利组织在2004年被美国财政部认定为支持恐怖主义的组织。
“你是在针对我的母亲吗？”赛义德说道。
“我针对的是那个因向基地组织转移资金而被起诉的组织，”罗杰斯说道，“听着，那是你的母亲。我母亲曾在一个小型商会工作。我随时都可以拿我母亲做比较。”
赛义德回应称，自己是一名“父亲和医生”，希望“将金钱从政治中剥离，装进民众的口袋，并通过‘全民医保’法案”。他表示，罗杰斯“只想让这场竞选偏离他自己的执政记录”。
赛义德近日还谈及他的姻亲玛丽安·朱卡库被列入联邦恐怖主义筛查数据库一事。朱卡库曾在2016年作为集体诉讼的一部分对这一情况提出质疑。目前尚不清楚曾担任加州大学洛杉矶分校穆斯林学生协会主席、现为加州家庭教育者和作家的朱卡库被列入该名单的原因。
“她没有做错任何事，却被纳入了名单，随后提起诉讼并被移除，”当被问及妻子的姐妹被列入恐怖主义监视名单时，赛义德对福克斯新闻表示，“这套体系就是如此，只要名字与众不同，就会被认定有罪直到自证清白，而像迈克·罗杰斯这样的人构建了这套基础设施。”

GOP attacks on El-Sayed’s Muslim faith come to a head in heated town hall exchange
2026-10-19T20:50:48.656Z / CNN
The Muslim Brotherhood has become a flashpoint in Michigan’s Senate race, with Republicans trying to cast Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed as sympathetic to interests connected to Islamic terror and El-Sayed arguing that he is being unfairly accused of the same “dual loyalties” that former Presidents John F. Kennedy and Barack Obama once were.
El-Sayed this weekend denounced the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist political movement founded in Egypt in 1928 — first in a heated exchange with a voter, and later when speaking with reporters — after Republicans have sought to highlight his family’s ties to the group and his past comments about it.
“I do want to talk about why they want to make this their closing argument,” El-Sayed told reporters after a rally Sunday in Flint. “They want to speak to a certain implicit dual loyalty. This has a long history in our politics, that notion that people might pray a little bit differently, have a dual loyalty. It was the same thing they did to JFK when he ran for president, the notion that because he was Catholic that he somehow had dual loyalties. They did the same thing to President Obama simply because his father was of Muslim origin, even though his father is an avowed Christian.”
He added: “This is nothing new. This is what they do when they have no message about the real issues in people’s lives.”
Republicans have increasingly drawn attention to El-Sayed’s Muslim faith in the closing weeks of one of the most important Senate races on the 2026 midterm election map.
President Donald Trump, at a campaign rally Friday night, referred to El-Sayed as “Mohammed” and falsely declared that the Democratic former public health official is a “jihadist.” Those comments have become staples of recent Trump rallies and social media comments.
El-Sayed’s Republican opponent, former Rep. Mike Rogers, said Sunday on CNN that he has “never called him a terrorist” and said he does not “speak for the president.”
But Rogers accused El-Sayed of aligning with the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Muslim Brotherhood is an Islamist movement with global offshoots that once wielded significant political power in Egypt, where it was founded. The movement officially rejects the use of violent means to secure its goals. However, offshoots of the group have been linked to attacks in the past.
Trump signed an executive order in November that initiated a process by which certain chapters or other subdivisions of the Muslim Brotherhood could be considered for designation as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
“You know, he wants to play the victim. This is not about that. This is about the way you think, not the way you pray,” Rogers told CNN’s Dana Bash. “This is about your ideology and how dangerous it is.”
The GOP efforts to tie El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood, and Islamic extremism, burst into the open this weekend at a town hall in Caro.
An attendee repeatedly pressed El-Sayed about the Muslim Brotherhood, saying he had yet to hear the candidate reject the organization.
“Abdul, will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood?” the man shouted from the crowd.
El-Sayed, after disavowing the movement, blasted the man for implicitly assuming his “dual loyalty.”
“You assume … that because I am Muslim, that somehow I would have some allegiance to something that is not our Constitution,” El-Sayed said. He later added, “For me, that Constitution is the guiding light.”
The audience member walked out after the exchange as the crowd cheered for El-Sayed.
The GOP attacks come after old tweets from El-Sayed’s half-sister resurfaced online, including a post from 2012 in which she described having “an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during the early 70s while she was in college.”
El-Sayed has said he does not know what his mother was doing in Egypt during the 1970s, explaining he was 3 when his parents divorced and didn’t see his mother for years. He was primarily raised in Michigan by his father and stepmother.
El-Sayed in 2012 also signed an open letter supporting then-Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, who had been elected earlier that year with the support of the Muslim Brotherhood after the overthrow of the country’s authoritarian government.
A year earlier, he penned a Huffington Post op-ed calling on the United States to support young Arab protesters in Egypt, and downplaying concerns that supporting democracy there would lead to Muslim Brotherhood control of the nation.
During a recent debate, Rogers pointed out that El-Sayed’s mother worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency, a non-profit that the Treasury Department in 2004 designated as an organization supporting terrorism.
“Are you going after my mom?” said El-Sayed.
“I was going after that organization that was indicted for funneling money to Al Qaeda,” Rogers said. “Look, that’s your mom. My mom worked at a small chamber of commerce. I’ll put my mom up any day for that.”
El-Sayed responded he is a “dad and a doctor” who wants to “get money out of politics, put money in your pocket and pass Medicare for All.” He said Rogers “wants this to be about anything but his own record.”
El-Sayed in recent days also addressed his sister-in-law, Mariam Jukaku, being placed on the federal Terrorism Screening Database — a situation she challenged as part of a 2016 class action lawsuit. It’s not clear why Jukaku, who was once president of UCLA’s Muslim Student Association and is now a home-school teacher and writer in California, was added to the list.
“She did nothing wrong and was captured on that and then sued and got off,” El-Sayed told Fox News when asked about his wife’s sister being placed on the terrorist watchlist, which was created in the wake of the September 11, 2001, attacks. “You’ve got this system where folks are guilty until proven innocent because they’ve got different kinds of names, because of the infrastructure that people like Mike Rogers set up.”
