Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is slated to speak at the Islamic Society of North America's (ISNA) annual convention over Labor Day weekend, joining a speaker roster that includes Muslim religious leaders with histories of controversial remarks.Among the most controversial figures attending the ISNA convention is cleric Baqir Berry, who prayed for "mujahideen" in Palestine and Lebanon, using a term commonly associated with Islamist fighters, and asked God to grant them "a mighty victory."
