Abdul El-Sayed uses speech to talk about Muslim faith and American identity

Comments

1. Crimson Talon: I'm not sure what's more unusual here, the fact that his faith is being highlighted or that he's using a speech to do so
2. Yara: I'm not sure I get the point of this video - is he running on his faith credentials or trying to make a bridge-building speech?
3. Sofia: finally someone willing to have this conversation, need more leaders like him in office
4. Lucas Larsen: nice to see him bringing up the diversity of American identity
5. Kian: he's really pushing for more representation in public office isn't he
6. Mirage Wolf: he's really trying to humanize himself isn't he, but how does this affect his views on, say, civil liberties?
7. Dusk Raven: saw him on another channel and didn't think he was that serious about the issues, but maybe I was wrong
8. Lucasw: I'm surprised they're only now highlighting his comments on faith and identity in Michigan when there's already enough drama in that senate race without him bringing up Muslim Americans
9. Shadow Moth: kind of glad to see him owning his faith like that, still got mixed feelings about the whole discussion around American identity though
10. Aidenfalk: seems like a calculated move for a Senate campaign - how does he intend to bridge the gap between Muslim faith and American politics?
11. Jonasnilssonxo: loved that he spoke directly to Muslim Americans like they're an integral part of the conversation - that's what we need more of in this country
12. Glitch Wolf: is he trying to connect his faith to being an underdog in politics?
13. Elias: reminds me of that great episode of southpark where Cartman had to learn about Islam. this guy's actually having a genuine conversation though
14. Sanalarsen: interesting he's using his platform like this but what does being American mean to him really?
15. Leo: interesting to see how his words land in the state's current climate
