In 2009, a 24-year-old medical student told The New York Times that when he stands before God, he doesn't want to have taken the easy way instead of the Sharia-compliant way, not out of fear, but out of obligation. 17 years later, that man is Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan. So what happens when someone who feels that kind of obligation to God is asked to write laws for everyone, Christians included? He says his faith makes him a better public servant. We're going to check that against his positions on life, marriage, religious liberty, and against his record. By the end, we'll tell you whether we think a Christian can vote for him, and the one issue we think should decide it. Welcome to Men Who Understood the Times.
