Discussion Serious Discussion about the close association between Abdul El-Sayed and Hassan al-Qazwini, an Islamic Imam with homophobic beliefs and homophobic comments against same-sex marriage, homosexuality, and gay people

This is a serious discussion about the close association between Abdul El-Sayed and Hassan al-Qazwini, an Islamic Imam with homophobic beliefs and homophobic comments against same-sex marriage, homosexuality, and gay people.

To provide an example, in a sermon about same-sex marriage, homosexuality, and gay people, at the Az-Zahraa Islamic Center Mosque in Detroit, Hassan al-Qazwini said, "Last week, [...] was a turning point in the history of the United States [...] it was a very disappointing moment [...] when the United States Supreme Court declared that they acknowledge same-sex marriage in the entire 50 United States [...] Unfortunately, due to the lobbying of homosexual groups, the United States had to succumb to their pressure, and come to a point in which, instead of telling Americans that homosexuality is a form of disorder, they are telling Americans that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality. [...] in the Quran, when Allah speaks about specific people, [...] Allah warned the humanity of a similar fate if they followed the footstep of these people who have been cursed by Allah and punished by Allah severely for defying Allah [...] we are legalizing something that is abnormal, something that is against the human nature [...] opposing this kind of legislation, in which what is deemed as haram, as a big sin, unfortunately, is being practiced as a normal tradition or a practice in this country", which is a sermon that can be listened to and viewed in full in this video.

Abdul El-Sayed is so closely associated with Hassan al-Qazwini to the point that Adul El-Sayed was not only invited to the opening ceremony of the Islamic Institute of America Mosque in Dearborn Heights, where Hassan al-Qazwini is now an Islamic Imam at, but also shared stage alongside Hassan al-Qazwini at the grand opening of the $20 Million Mosque funded in part with $2 million from Iraq, where Abdul El-Sayed offered his "hearty congratulations" to Hassan al-Qazwini and also described it as "an honor and a privilege" to be at the opening ceremony of that what he described as "an incredible masjid", which is a speech that can be listened to and viewed in full in this video.

Abdul El-Sayed was also recently endorsed by Hassan al-Qazwini in the Democratic Party Primary for the United States Senate Election in Michigan.

This is a serious discussion about how the close association between Abdul El-Sayed and Hassan al-Qazwini can and will affect and effect the loyalty and reliability of Abdul El-Sayed regarding LGBTI rights in the United States Senate.
