WOW: Abdul El-Sayed Tried to Hide His Bookshelf — Looking at the Titles and Authors, We Can See WHY

Abdul El-Sayed once begged a documentary crew to keep his living-room bookshelf out of the frame so the shot would stay “secular.”

Shocking, right? Oh wait, no.

Turns out there was a very good reason for the sudden attack of camera-shyness: the collection features works by Dr. Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing who has cheerfully endorsed child marriage, light wife-beating to “re-establish authority,” and AIDS as divine proof that homosexuality is evil.

From the Free Beacon:

A bookshelf in Abdul El-Sayed's living room—which he sought to conceal from a documentary film crew in 2018—contained works by an unindicted co-conspirator of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, a member of an Islamic group that sought to establish a Sharia-governed state, and a Muslim cleric whose writings have influenced al Qaeda and other major terrorist groups.
The living room bookshelf came into frame as El-Sayed—now the Michigan Democratic Senate nominee—showed off his wedding pictures during a scene in How to Fix a Primary, a documentary about his failed 2018 gubernatorial bid. During the scene, El-Sayed was filmed pointing to his bookshelf as he asked the filmmakers to "not get these things in the shot" because he wanted to "keep the shot secular." But the filmmakers ultimately provided a close-up shot of the bookshelf, which contained a copy of the Quran and about three dozen texts analyzing various aspects of the Muslim faith, several by Islamic extremists.
