The Mystery of Huma Abedin

The Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs is affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda Funder Abdullah Omar Naseef

For all the fawning media pieces about Huma Abedin, such as the focus on her fashion sensibilities, her family life in Saudi Arabia gets very little attention.  How did a Muslim girl from a conservative Muslim family in Saudi Arabia (Indian background, with Muslim Brotherhood roots) end up marrying a secular Jew and become the right hand body women to Hillary Clinton?

Huma Abedin travels to Saudi Arabia, without any overt criticism of her marriage to Anthony Weiner.  Given that it is not allowed for a Muslim woman to marry a Non-Muslim man (especially a Jew), how is that even possible? 

Huma Abedin, Daughter of Jihad

Saleha Mahmmod Abedin (Huma's mom) supports:

Like Sheikh Qaradawi, who helped write the charter for the IICWC, Saleha Abedin is an influential sharia activist who has, for example, published a book called Women in Islam that claims man-made laws enslave women. It reportedly provides sharia justifications for such practices as female-genital mutilation, the death penalty for apostates from Islam, the legal subordination of women, and the participation of women in violent jihad. Dr. Abedin has nevertheless been hailed in the progressive press as a “leading voice on women’s rights in the Muslim world” (to quote Foreign Policy). What they never quite get around to telling you is that this means “women’s rights” in the repressive sharia context.

NY Post: Huma worked for her mother's magazine for ten years, promoting conservative Islamic relations for women. How does that square with working for feminist Hillary Clinton and being married to Anthony Weiner? 

Yes to even raise the question about Huma Abedin's connections brands one a bigot? Democrats, Liberals and George Soros supporters fall over themselves to defend her.

Most stories tend to focus on the fashion, although this one says her Jewish husband Anthony Weiner sometimes fasts with her during Ramadan...

I have a feeling Anthony Weiner may be fasting from things other than food with Huma

Update:

I also finally got to see Weiner on Netflix.  It is an interesting and fascinating documentary and I recommend you put it on your queue. Beyond Anthony Weiner being a completely out of control Democrat serial liar who betrays everyone around him, it is revealing to see Huma Abedin under scrutiny. 

While I thought I would be sympathetic to the public embarrassment and humiliation caused by her husband, Huma's emotional reactions (from my observation) were strange. She is a very calculating individual who seemed less emotional upset that her husband engaged in reckless sexting, but more contemptuous he could be so politically stupid.

She has a child with this creep. Yet she is now spending all her time on the road supporting and promoting Hillary Clinton (leaving young Jordan in the care of a father who has a track record of being easily distracted). Huma shifted from one narcissist to another.  

There is a political lesson in Weiner too. They focus in the documentary on that exchange Weiner had with an Orthodox Jewish man in a bakery.  It was widely reported at the time (even I did a post on it). Obviously Anthony Weiner was already melting down at this point of the campaign, but this exchange makes Anthony Weiner look like a complete jackass. If you are in a close race be-careful getting in arguments critics with the media present.
