Michigan elected Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed — the first Muslim senator in United States history. His parents came from Egypt on student visas in 1978. One generation later, their son is writing laws for 330 million Americans. Michigan’s Muslim population has roughly quadrupled since the 1990s, driven by waves of refugees from Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, and Syria that Washington welcomed with open arms. Dearborn is now majority Arab. Hamtramck elected America’s first all-Muslim city council in 2021. When the demographics shift, the politics follow — and last night proved it. Five declared socialists won House seats. Texas — Texas — flipped blue for the first time in 30 years. The Democratic Socialists of America now have seven members in Congress. Biden’s wide-open border didn’t just let people in. It built a permanent voting bloc that will shape American policy for decades. Sana Ebrahimi Ledene @SanaELedene gives details. "1- In 2012 he signed a letter to Mohamed Morsi (the Muslim Brotherhood president of Egypt) supporting his power grab and calling on him to “purge the media and the police as quickly as possible.” 2- His biological mother, Fatten Elkomy, worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA), which the U.S. Treasury designated for supporting terrorism. His half-sister has publicly said their mother was active in the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in the 1970s. 3- His half-sister Eman Abdelhadi posted on social media about their mother’s Muslim Brotherhood activism and expressed support for family members backing the Brotherhood in Egypt. 4- He refused to condemn the IRGC when directly asked by an Iranian-American student whose family was targeted by them. Leaked audio also shows he deliberately stayed silent on Khamenei’s death because “there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad,” prioritizing his base over basic condemnation of a terrorist regime. 5- His father, Mohamed El-Sayed, sits on the board of Life for Relief and Development, a Michigan-based Islamic charity that paid a $780,000 settlement to the U.S. Treasury for violating sanctions by transferring money into Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. The group has also faced raids and scrutiny over alleged ties to terror-linked networks. These are documented facts."

"Arabic numerals" (0–9) actually originated in India, were refined in Baghdad, and were brought to Europe by Fibonacci because of his dad’s job in North Africa. Even Fibonacci’s work was directly copied from mathematical concepts that not only originated but were common in India. To his credit, however, he openly acknowledged their Indian origins rather than claiming them as his own or attempting to appropriate them. Zero was invented by a legendary Indian mathematician named Aryabhatta. It was an Indian astronomer who defined zero as a number, but the concept of zero, as in "nothing", was already in known by the Babylonians a few centuries before him who used a placeholder to denote "nothing". But, they never included zero as a number in the timeline. Understanding nothing and giving nothing a value are two very different things. It’s the reason there is no year 0, we go from 1 bc to 1 ad.
