密歇根州底特律——密歇根州民主党参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·艾尔-赛义德在劳动节周末举办的一场伊斯兰会议上发表了主旨演讲。会上，美国被描述为正在衰落的帝国，早期伊斯兰征服受到赞扬，而9·11事件后的局势则被归咎于伊斯兰恐惧症与歧视。
这场由北美伊斯兰协会每年举办的活动邀请了多位发言者，议题涵盖穆斯林公民参与、巴以持续冲突等内容。
在会议的演讲和专题讨论过程中，与会者普遍持批评美国及更广泛西方世界的立场，表达的部分观点可能被视为极端。

福克斯新闻数字频道周末出席了此次活动，旁听了周六和周日艾尔-赛义德演讲前后的多场专题讨论。这位密歇根州民主党候选人正在参与2026年选举竞争最激烈的参议院席位角逐之一，选举结果可能决定参议院的控制权归属。
在一场题为“美国日益加剧的伊斯兰恐惧症”的专题讨论中，一名发言者将近期通过的、可能禁止参与针对以色列特定商业抵制活动的高校获得部分联邦高等教育资金的立法称为“反穆斯林法案”。
不久之后，一名佩戴巴基斯坦国旗徽章的观众起身，呼吁对投票支持该法案的两党议员群体发布教法裁决。教法裁决是一种宗教裁决或意见，范围可从正式谴责，在某些情况下甚至可能呼吁或为暴力行为正名。
该法案由北卡罗来纳州共和党众议员弗吉尼亚·福克斯提出，新泽西州民主党众议员乔希·戈特海默共同发起。
在该男子呼吁对国会议员发布教法裁决后，现场观众——包括一名专题讨论小组成员——鼓掌表示支持。
在此前同一场讨论中，一名专题讨论小组成员批评国会投票谴责众议员伊尔汉·奥马尔和拉希达·特莱布发表“最轻松随意的言论”。
特莱布被谴责的部分原因是她支持“从河到海，巴勒斯坦将获得自由”这一口号，该口号呼吁摧毁约旦河东至地中海西岸边界内的以色列。批评人士称该口号是在呼吁种族清洗，而这位国会女议员则为其辩护，称这是“对自由、人权与和平共处的理想呼吁”。
北美伊斯兰协会是一家非营利性穆斯林宗教组织，成立于1981年，旨在为美国日益壮大的穆斯林群体提供公民协调与教育平台。举办此次活动的底特律所在的都会区拥有大量阿拉伯裔人口，主要集中在迪尔伯恩和哈姆特拉姆克等地区。
艾尔-赛义德的竞选活动获得该组织数十名成员的逾10万美元支持，该组织被指与恐怖主义有关联
专题讨论小组成员还指责亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克资助了一场白人至上主义全球反穆斯林运动，暗示美国学校教授的部分关于9·11事件的叙事已被“揭穿”，并声称穆斯林在2001年袭击事件后受到了不公平对待。
对美国应对9·11事件举措的批评在会议的多场活动和分组讨论中反复出现。一名发言者表示，随着9·11事件25周年纪念日临近，最值得反思的事情之一是“伊斯兰恐惧症正处于历史最高水平”。另一名发言者将反恐战争——一系列造成7000多名美军人员阵亡的9·11后军事行动——称为“恐怖战争”。
艾尔-赛义德自启动参议院竞选以来一直试图塑造温和的公众形象，尽管他仍与知名社会主义者及社会主义阵营活动人士保持联系。他此次出席北美伊斯兰协会会议是一系列引发批评的关联事件中的最新一例，其中包括与伊斯兰国家组织人物、被指支持恐怖组织的穆斯林神职人员以及左翼社会主义活动人士的联系。
针对这些指控，这位民主党候选人指出，共和党参议院候选人迈克·罗杰斯与那些宣扬2020年大选阴谋论或呼吁禁止同性婚姻的人士存在关联。

在此次会议之前，艾尔-赛义德的竞选团队试图将这位候选人与其他会议发言者划清界限。
“阿卜杜勒并未与任何其他会议参与者结盟，也不认可他们的任何观点，”他的竞选团队女发言人在会议前对媒体表示。
在此之前有报道称，他将与为童婚辩护、赞扬美国列为恐怖组织的实体（包括基地组织）的伊斯兰神职人员一同亮相。据《华盛顿自由灯塔报》此前报道，在有争议的发言者中，最终只有那位为童婚辩护的神职人员被取消了邀请资格。
北美伊斯兰协会似乎预料到了外界对其邀请的部分发言者的审查。在会议场地的主走廊里，该组织张贴了醒目的标识，上面写着：“北美伊斯兰协会不认可会议参与者的行为，明确声明不对会议发言者、表演者、参展商、供应商或与会者表达的观点、提供的信息、展示、销售或分发的材料承担任何责任。”
反恐专家警告：阿卜杜勒·艾尔-赛义德的参议院竞选引发国土安全担忧
尽管北美伊斯兰协会试图与部分会议发言者表达的有争议观点划清界限，但该组织自身的行为也引发了审查。
福克斯新闻数字频道与会议场外的三名基督教福音派传教士进行了交谈，他们称自己在没有任何预警的情况下被驱逐出会场。三人都表示，他们只是在与愿意与他们交谈的人进行对话，随后就被安保人员护送出了会场。
会议对所有信仰的人士开放，注册时并不要求与会者必须是穆斯林。会议还在周日举办了跨信仰晚宴。
考虑到会议现场集市上售卖的书籍，这份免责声明显得格外重要。福克斯新闻数字频道发现，部分书籍为伊斯兰战争辩护，同时将基督教描绘成独一无二的暴力宗教。
“地球上最后一批应该指责其他任何信仰体系追随者犯下流血与残忍罪行的人就是基督徒，因为一个公认的事实是，历史上已知的任何宗教都没有像教会基督教那样可怕的血腥记录，”会议上售卖的某本书中写道。
另一本书辩称，所有伊斯兰战争都是防御性的，为非穆斯林被迫缴纳歧视性税款进行辩护，并声称基督教文明杀害了近2亿人，其依据是将并非出于宗教动机或并非由基督徒发起的战争都算在基督教头上。
例如，由敌视基督教的人士发起的法国大革命被计入基督教的死亡人数。由共产主义朝鲜发起的朝鲜战争也被计入基督教的死亡人数。
独家采访曝光：艾尔-赛义德的伊斯兰教法“义务”：“并非出于恐惧”
此次会议还为“符合伊斯兰教法”的抵押贷款及其他金融产品做了广告。
艾尔-赛义德在会议与会者中拥有准明星地位。福克斯新闻数字频道发现，竞选徽章在会议上几乎随处可见，他的竞选团队展位无疑是主大厅里最热闹的展位。
当这位参议院候选人走上舞台向会议发表演讲时，全场响起雷鸣般的起立鼓掌。人群中响起“我们爱你”的呼喊声。
艾尔-赛义德的演讲总体上克制，主要围绕团结、代表性以及穆斯林身份与美国身份兼容的理念展开。
“今晚我们离开这里时，我要向你们每一个人发起一项挑战，”艾尔-赛义德以类似前总统巴拉克·奥巴马的沉稳语调说道。
“这个问题是，你如何在你每天身处的空间里，完整且百分百地做自己。因为作为穆斯林美国人，我们相信我们的伊斯兰理想与美国理想是相通的。这两者并非互斥，事实上，在最好的情况下，身为穆斯林会让我们成为更优秀的美国人，身为穆斯林能让我们成为更优秀的美国人。”
“摧毁美国生活方式”：艾尔-赛义德的政治轨迹使其塑造温和形象的努力复杂化
但在会议的其他环节，发言者对美国及其在世界上的地位给出了截然不同的评价。
“世界已经走向多极化，若从美国的视角来看，我们能看到这个帝国此刻的恐惧与不安。所以我认为我们正处于一个正在终结的帝国的末期，”在一场关于巴以冲突的专题讨论中发言的一名学者表示。“我对此非常乐观。”
这位同一位专题讨论小组成员随后辩称，将底特律旁边的河流称为“底特律河”是一种不道德的殖民主义行为，因为美洲原住民对这条水道有不同的称呼。
类似地，在会议的一场主议程环节中，一名发言者批评了9·11恐怖袭击后的美国外交政策，随后称赞“TikTok一代”在10月7日恐怖袭击后动员起来支持巴勒斯坦人。
不过，也有一些发言者明确将艾尔-赛义德的社会主义事业与他的伊斯兰信仰联系起来。
“从历史上看，伊斯兰教的传播不仅仅依靠宣教。它是通过社会主义传播的，”一名随后对早期伊斯兰征服持肯定态度的神职人员说道。

北美伊斯兰协会拒绝置评。福克斯新闻数字频道周三联系艾尔-赛义德的竞选团队后，未收到任何回复。

DETROIT, Mich. — Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed headlined an Islamic conference over Labor Day weekend where the United States was described as an empire in decline, early Islamic conquests were praised and the aftermath of 9/11 was framed around Islamophobia and discrimination.
The event, held annually by the Islamic Society of North America, featured a range of speakers discussing topics from Muslim civic participation to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Over the course of the conference’s speeches and panel discussions, participants took positions that were generally critical of the United States and the broader Western world and expressed opinions that some may regard as extreme.

Fox News Digital attended the event over the weekend, sitting in on many of the panels held on Saturday and Sunday before and after El-Sayed’s speech. The Michigan Democrat is running in one of the most hotly contested Senate races of the 2026 cycle, the outcome of which may decide control of the Senate.
At one panel, “Rising Islamophobia in the U.S.,” a speaker described recently passed legislation that could bar colleges participating in certain commercial boycotts of Israel from receiving some federal higher education funds as “an anti-Muslim bill.”

Shortly after that, a man in the audience wearing a Pakistani flag pin stood up and called for a fatwa to be issued against the bipartisan group of lawmakers who voted for the bill. A fatwa is a religious ruling or opinion that can range from a formal condemnation to, in some cases, a call for or justification of violence.
The legislation was introduced by Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., and co-sponsored by Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J.
After the man called for a fatwa against members of Congress, members of the audience — and one panelist — applauded.
Earlier, during the same discussion, a panelist criticized Congress for moving to censure Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib for making “the most lighthearted comments”
Tlaib was censured in part for endorsing the phrase “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” which calls for the destruction of Israel as bounded by the Jordan River in the east and the Mediterranean Sea in the west. Critics characterized the phrase as a call for ethnic cleansing, while the congresswoman defended it as “an aspirational call for freedom, human rights and peaceful coexistence.”
ISNA is a nonprofit Muslim religious organization established in 1981 to provide America’s growing Muslim population with a platform for civic coordination and education. Detroit, where the event took place, is situated in a metropolitan area that has a significant Arab American population concentrated in areas such as Dearborn and Hamtramck.

Panelists also accused billionaire Elon Musk of funding a White supremacist global anti-Muslim movement, suggested that some of the narrative regarding 9/11 taught in American schools has been “debunked” and asserted that Muslims were treated unfairly in the wake of the 2001 attacks.
Criticism of America’s response to 9/11 surfaced repeatedly across the conference’s events and breakout sessions. One speaker asserted that one of the most important things to reflect on as the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches is that “Islamophobia is at an all-time high.” Another called the War on Terror, a series of post-9/11 military operations that claimed the lives of over 7,000 U.S. military personnel, the “War of Terror.”
El-Sayed has sought to moderate his public image since launching his Senate campaign, even as he has maintained ties to prominent socialists and socialist-aligned activists. His attendance at the recent ISNA conference is the latest in a series of associations that have drawn criticism, including ties to Nation of Islam figures, Muslim clerics accused of expressing support for terrorist organizations and activists on the socialist left.
In response to these charges, the Democrat has pointed out that GOP Senate nominee Mike Rogers has links to individuals who echo conspiracy theories about the 2020 election or who have called for bans on gay marriage.

Before the event, El-Sayed’s campaign moved to distance the candidate from other conference speakers.
“Abdul is not affiliated with and does not endorse any other participant of the conference,” a spokeswoman for his campaign told media outlets in the lead-up to the event.
The statement followed reports that he would appear alongside Islamic clerics who defended child marriage and praised U.S.-designated terrorist organizations, including al Qaeda. Of the controversial speakers, only the cleric who had defended child marriage was ultimately disinvited, The Washington Free Beacon previously reported.
ISNA appeared to anticipate scrutiny over some of the speakers it invited to the conference. In the conference venue’s main hallway, the organization posted a prominent sign which says, “ISNA does not endorse the actions of convention participants and explicitly disclaims any responsibility for the views expressed, information provided, or materials displayed, sold or distributed by convention speakers, performers, exhibitors, vendors, or attendees.”

While ISNA sought to distance itself from the controversial views expressed by some conference speakers, the organization itself took actions that also drew scrutiny.
Fox News Digital spoke to three Christian evangelists outside the conference who claimed they were removed from it without warning. Each of them said they were simply having conversations with individuals who wanted to speak with them before they were escorted outside by security.
Attendance at the conference was open to people of all faiths, and registration did not require attendees to be Muslim. The conference also held an interfaith banquet on Sunday.
The disclaimer took on added significance in light of books available for purchase at the conference’s on-site bazaar. Fox News Digital found books that defended Islamic warfare while portraying Christianity as uniquely violent.
“Christians are the last people on earth who should bring the charge of bloodshed and cruelty against followers of any other system, for it is a well-established fact that no religion known to history has such a horrible sanguinary record as church Christianity,” one book sold at the conference reads.
Another book argued that all Islamic warfare is defensive, defended non-Muslims being forced to pay a discriminatory tax and claimed that Christian civilization has killed nearly 200 million people by attributing wars that did not have religious motivations or were not initiated by Christians.
The French Revolution, which was instigated by individuals hostile to Christianity, for instance, is counted toward Christianity’s death count. The Korean War, which was launched by communist North Korea, is also counted toward the body count of Christianity.

The conference also featured advertisements for “Sharia-compliant” mortgages and other financial products.
El-Sayed held a quasi-celebrity status among the conference’s attendees. Campaign buttons were nearly ubiquitous at the conference, and his campaign’s booth was easily the busiest of those located in the main hall, Fox News Digital found.
When the Senate hopeful walked on stage to address the conference, he was greeted with a thunderous standing ovation. Calls of “we love you” rang out from the crowd.
El-Sayed’s speech was ultimately measured and largely focused on unity, representation and the idea that Muslim and American identities are compatible.
“As we leave here tonight, I’ve got a challenge for each and every one of you,” El-Sayed said with a measured cadence reminiscent of former President Barack Obama.
“It’s the question of how you show up in the spaces in which you show up everyday, as wholly and 100% yourself. Because we are a community as Muslim Americans who believe in the rhyming of our Muslim ideals and our American ideals. That those two things are not mutually exclusive, in fact, that at their best being Muslim makes us better Americans and being Muslim enables us to be better Americans.”

But elsewhere at the conference, speakers offered a markedly different assessment of America and its place in the world.
“The world has become multipolar, and we see almost like the fear and insecurity that the empire has at this moment if we think through the lens of the U.S. So, I like to think that we are on the very end of an ending empire,” an academic speaking at a session about the conflict between Israel and Hamas said. “I’m very positive about it.”
The same panelist later argued that referring to the river next to Detroit as the “Detroit River” was an immoral act of colonialism because Native Americans had a different name for the waterway.
In a similar vein, a speaker at one of the conference’s main sessions criticized American foreign policy after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, then credited the “TikTok generation” with mobilizing in favor of Palestinians following the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks.
Some speakers, however, made a clear effort to connect El-Sayed’s socialist project with his Islamic faith.
“Islam historically was not just spread by the instance of Dawah. It was spread by socialism,” said a cleric who would go on to speak positively about early Islamic conquests.

ISNA declined comment. The El-Sayed campaign did not respond to requests for comment after being reached by Fox News Digital Wednesday.
