Conservative commentator Jeffrey Mead is raising alarms after the Muslim Brotherhood’s official website publicly celebrated the victory of Abdullah Sayed in a Michigan Democratic primary.

In a recent statement, Mead pointed directly to the group’s online presence as evidence of deeper ideological alignment.

“So this right here is the Muslim Brotherhood’s website, and this is them celebrating Abdullah Sayed’s win in the Democratic primary,” Mead said.

He then detailed the organization’s core ideology, reading from materials that outline its foundational beliefs.

“Now, the Muslim Brotherhood’s-I’m going to read you a little bit about it. So, its central belief is that Islam is a complete system for governing every aspect of life-personal, social, economic, legal, and political-and that Muslim societies must return to rule by Islamic law, Sharia,” Mead explained.

He continued by citing the group’s classic motto: “The group’s classic motto is Allah is our objective, the Quran is our constitution, the Prophet is our leader, jihad is our way, and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations.”

Mead emphasized the Brotherhood’s patient, long-term strategy.

“And they pursue a lot of these things primarily through gradualism, building parallel social institutions, schools, clinics, charities, professional associations, and political participation when possible, while maintaining a longer goal for Islamic order.”

According to Mead, this methodical approach allows the organization to expand influence within democratic systems while never abandoning its ultimate objective of establishing Sharia governance.

The commentator did not stop at ideology. He highlighted the group’s documented track record of violence.

“But also, you should know the Muslim Brotherhood has a documented history of involvement in political violence, assassinations, bombings, and the creation or support of armed offshoots. For example, Hamas was founded as the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.”

Mead described Hamas in stark terms.

“And again, if you don’t know who Hamas is, they are a genocidal terrorist organization in Gaza. And on October 7 of 2023, they went into Israel and indiscriminately slaughtered civilians and took civilians hostage, and when I say indiscriminately slaughtered, I mean indiscriminately like targeted them and slaughtered them. It wasn’t like a collateral damage. It was like we’re here, we know you’re unarmed, and we want to kill you, and we’re going to kill you. This is part of our mission. They see terrorism as a legitimate way of doing things.”

Returning to the Michigan race, Mead connected the dots.

“But again, now back to the Muslim Brotherhood. Their long-term goal is for societies to be governed by Sharia, and again, when Abdul Al Sayed won the primary in Michigan, the Muslim Brotherhood was on their website celebrating this. If he wasn’t on their team or wouldn’t be furthering their cause, I doubt they would be celebrating him being the winner of that democratic primary. Something to think about.”

WATCH:

Mead’s comments arrive amid growing conservative concern over foreign ideological influence in American politics.

The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in Egypt in 1928, has long been designated a terrorist organization by several U.S. allies, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

While the group maintains a public face of political participation and social services, critics argue its foundational texts and historical actions reveal a consistent commitment to replacing secular governance with Islamic law.

WATCH:

The celebration of Sayed’s primary win on the Brotherhood’s website has intensified scrutiny of candidates who receive such endorsements or attention.

WATCH:

Mead’s analysis suggests that public praise from an organization openly committed to Sharia and historically linked to groups like Hamas should not be dismissed as insignificant.

For many on the right, the episode serves as a reminder to examine not only candidates’ policy positions but also the external forces that celebrate their successes.

As Michigan voters prepare for the general election, Mead’s pointed remarks have fueled discussion among conservatives about the need for greater vigilance regarding ideological networks seeking to shape American political outcomes.
