Clinton's Aide, Huma Abedin and the Qaradawi Connection

Qaradawi

        Qaradawi is the head religious Muslim Brotherhood leader that had been expelled from Egypt, of all places, for his extremist views.  For instance, he has now called a fatwa to kill all Jews regardless of where they live. He himself would do so even though he's in a wheelchair; he'd use his hands, he said.  Nice guy.  He found refuge with his friend, the Emir Shaikh Hamad Bin Khalifa al-Thani of Qatar, who is the absolute ruler of Qatar, and from there he broadcasts on Al-Jazeera TV, heard all over the world, even at Portland State U.  He also runs the "Union for Good", also called the "Union of Good", which is a terrorist organization under American law.  It was behind the "Peace flotilla" that tried to break Israel's blockade of Hamas (a Muslim Brotherhood Palestinian branch) in 2010.

This really bothers me.  Qatar has ingratiated themselves somehow into American politics and their money is buying favoritism in infinite bushels.  They're connected to major universities, like Carnegie Mellon, and have paid for teachers in Portland to teach Arabic that do not allow visitors in the class.  I've always had visitors in  all my 50 year teaching career, but the teacher wouldn't allow me to enter the classroom.  .

Huma Abedin with Hillary Clinton

                                                                                                     

Anthony Weiner

So what has happened?  We have an "unusual" Jewish Congressman, Anthony Weiner, rather meshugena Democrat and US Rep, and I would bet a non-practicing Jew who had sent out a photo of his genitals on Twitter not too long ago, who was married to Huma Abedin, a practicing Muslim, working for Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State as an aide.  They had met through Hillary.  That is not too unusual in the United States in having a mixed religious marriage.  I myself dated a Muslim doctor from India in 1965 here in Oregon, and we had a wonderful compatible friendship.  I felt so sorry for Huma when it was broadcast about her husband's sexual weirdness.  Here she was pregnant.  What did Anthony's actions say about his values?

Huma was born in Michigan but her family moved to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia when she was 2.  Her father, Syed Zainul Abedin, an educator, was from British India who graduated from Aligarh Muslim University and had a PhD from U of Pennsylvania and is today an associate professor of sociology of Dar Al-Hekma College in Jeddah.  Her mother is Siham al-Qaradawi, the daughter of Sheikh Qaradawi, the religious personage who wants to kill all Jews, probably starting with her husband!  Siham, a chemistry student from Qatar,  had a Fulbright scholarship awarded to her in 2010-2011.   Huma had returned to the USA to attend George Washington U.  She worked as an intern for the White House in 1996, assigned to Hillary Clinton.  Huma still works for her.  In 2010 Clinton remarked at the Wiener-Abedin wedding that she had only one daughter, but if she had a 2nd daughter, it would be Huma.

Now we come again to Huma and Qaradawi.  Huma's mother, Saleha, is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood's female group, the Muslim sisterhood.  She's an active and important member in 2 groups of the Union for Good.  She's on their Internatonal Islamic Council for Dawa and Relief-HCDR.  It's banned in Israel for supporting Hamas under the name of the Union for Good.  She's on the International Islamic Committee for Woman and Child-HCWC-  She has been the head of this group for a long time since their charter was written by Sheikh Qaradawi, her father,  along with other members of the Muslim Brotherhood.  There's nothing wrong with supporting women and children in the Muslim world, but it's like having Hitler write up the agenda.

A long time ago we had a Joseph McCarthy who saw a Communist under every bush, and many innocent people were labeled and hurt by being called Communists.  That fear has bubbled over to this situation.  Those who are calling attention to the fact that Clinton has the daughter of a Muslim Brotherhood activist working for her, not to mention who is the granddauther of Qaradawi,  are the ones in trouble instead of the Muslim Brotherhood whose goal is to eradicate Israel and Jews.

We have Republican Michele Bachmann calling attention to this fact and she is being ridiculed for it.  Even McCain is afraid to draw attention to the fact that there might be a problem here.  Speaker Boehner doesn't see a Muslim Brotherhood problem, but the people calling attention to this fact.  Good grief!  Isn't it Bachmann's duty to question Abedin's loyalty, especially since she works so closely with Clinton, of all people and that Israel and Jews' lives are at stake?  This connection should certainly raise the eyebrows of Israel.  I don't even think Andrew C. McCarthy, "former Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. A Republican, he is most notable for leading the 1995 terrorism prosecution against Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman and eleven others" .realizes the seriousness of this connection, and he spoke about it in a 90 minute talk at the National Press Club on Wednesday sponsored by the conservative Center for Security Policy.  His flip answer of "I'm a whack job, I guess," was lame when asked about why he was concerned.  Bachmann deserves better than that.  He is the author of "The Grand Jihad:  How Islam and the Left Sabotage America, " so should have known how the press would zero in on this statement.  It made the Oregonian this morning but nothing about his credentials.

8/14/12 Update: Walid Shoebat, former PLO terrorist and Muslim Brotherhood activist is spot-lighting the acts of terrorism.  Last Friday, President Obama voiced   strong support  for Huma Abedin during the Iftar dinner, saying the top aide to Secretary of State Hillary has been “nothing less than extraordinary in representing our country and the democratic values that we hold dear.”Frontpage interviewed Shoebat who had presented a 37 page paper exposing Huma Abedin that has been ignored by many.  Andrew McCarthy, prosecutor took it seriously.
