# 가디언, 엘사예드를 무슬림형제단과 연결한 허위 주장 추적

*가디언은 선거 유세 의혹의 핵심인 2012년 공개서한을 검토한 결과 무슬림형제단을 언급하지 않았다고 밝혔다. 보도에 따르면 서한은 이집트의 민주주의를 지지했을 뿐 이슬람주의 단체를 지지하지 않았다.*

A Guardian review published October 29 examined a recurring claim in Michigan’s US Senate race: that candidate Abdul El-Sayed had publicly supported the Muslim Brotherhood. The paper reported that the 2012 open letter at the center of the allegation called for democratic change in Egypt and did not mention the Brotherhood.

The claim was first advanced by political activist Laura Loomer in 2018, according to the Guardian. Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers later repeated the assertion that El-Sayed had pledged support to the organization. The Guardian reviewed the letter’s text and reported that it urged Egypt’s then-president Mohamed Morsi to defend the democratic goals of the revolution. Morsi had previously been a Brotherhood member, but support for democratic institutions was not itself an endorsement of the movement.

## What the source record shows

Egyptian journalist Hossam el-Hamalawy told the Guardian that the letter made no reference to the Brotherhood. The Guardian also noted that an Egyptian state newspaper’s headline described the signatories as Morsi supporters, although the signatories did not use that description themselves. Those distinctions separate the original document from later characterizations of it.

The article reported that El-Sayed’s half-sister posted in 2012 about family members’ past involvement with the Brotherhood. El-Sayed, who was raised by his father, has said he has no ties to the movement, the Guardian reported. A relative’s statements do not prove organizational membership by El-Sayed.

## Branch-specific designations

Those actions apply to named branches and should not be generalized to every person accused of association.

The documented October development was the Guardian’s examination of an election claim, not a new action by the Brotherhood. Its reporting found the claim about the letter inaccurate and reported no evidence in the letter that El-Sayed endorsed the organization.
