Laura Loomer’s Revelation Reignites Debate on Muslim Brotherhood Influence in U.S. Politics

 

American activist Laura Loomer has accused Democratic Senate candidate Abdel Sayed of signing a pledge in 2012 expressing support for Mohamed Morsi and the international Muslim Brotherhood organization. Loomer described the pledge as a sign of commitment to “jihad and the implementation of Islamic law.”

Loomer said she first exposed this information in a 2018 video that, according to her, contributed to the failure of Sayed’s congressional campaign at the time. The Egyptian-born candidate, now running for the Michigan Senate, faces renewed scrutiny as Loomer’s statements gain traction online.

The controversy has reignited debate about foreign influence in American politics and the vetting process for candidates with international affiliations. Supporters of Loomer argue that her exposure raises legitimate concerns about national security, while critics caution against politicizing religious identity.

As the election season intensifies, the discussion surrounding Abdel Sayed’s past and the Muslim Brotherhood’s alleged influence continues to unfold on social media and in political circles.
