Blue Jays' Anthony Santander posts crude Islamophobic memes after Abdul El-Sayed's victory in Michigan

Toronto Blue Jays slugger Anthony Santander is facing criticism for social media posts attacking Islam and senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed after his victory in Michigan . The 32-year-old former All-Star from Venezuela shared two memes on Instagram: One picturing El-Sayed alongside text reading 'AMERICA VOTED FOR SHARIA LAST NIGHT' and another with the caption 'ISLAM IS NOT PEACEFUL.' El-Sayed, a 42-year-old Sunni resident of the Detroit suburbs, has repeatedly pushed back against suggestions he'd somehow bring about Sharia law, which is the religious framework that guides the Islamic world.
