Al-Azhar scholars criticize Mr. Said's remarks
The statements made by the American Democratic candidate of Egyptian origin, Abdel Rahman Al-Sayed, regarding his immigration to the United States and his assessment of life in Egypt, sparked angry reactions from Al-Azhar scholars and Egyptian religious officials. They considered his words as an insult to the homeland and a diminishment of its history and civilization. They emphasized that Egypt is older than America culturally, and that its people are capable of resilience despite hardships. They criticized his claims about the circumstances of his migration and COVID-19 vaccinations, as well as his assertions that Egypt was not involved in massacres against other nations — reminding that American history is filled with genocides. These criticisms come amid the context of the U.S. electoral race, where Al-Sayed is competing against Republican candidate Mike Rojers in the November elections, facing attacks from President Trump, who described him as a "Communist who hates Jews." Al-Sayed’s Egyptian background is prominent, and he is running in the elections amidst widespread controversy over his positions and national identity.
