Huma Abedin's Mother Supports The Murder of Apostates and Adulterers

Huma Abedin's mother, Saleha Abedin Edited and Translated a book titled Women in Islam: A Discourse in Rights and Obligations, which was published by the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA) in 1999.

Here is a revealing quote from the book.

From the Center for Security Policy:

“It is unlawful to kill a Muslim except under three conditions. The Prophet (s) said: “The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none has the right to be worshiped but Allah and that I am His Messenger, cannot be shed except in three cases: In retaliation for murder, a married person who commits adultery and the one who reverts from Islam (apostate) and leaves the Muslims.”

So, you might say to me, "Who cares, Pastorius? That's Huma Abedin's mother, not Huma herself."

Yes, but, Huma Abedin also sat as an Editor for the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs, from 1998 to 2006.

In other words, Huma Abedin was an editor for the Institute during the exact time period that the Institute published the above book with the above quote.

Would you sit as an Editor for a publisher material calling for the death of apostates?

Huma did. And she did so while she was working as Hilary Clinton's assistant.

Here is a screen shot showing Huma Abedin as Editor for IMMA in 2008:

It's safe to say that former 'Blind Sheikh' prosecutor Andrew McCarthy is more than just a little alarmed about Huma Abedin's access to State secrets as Hillary Clinton's closest advisor. He explains the origins of the term 'Islamophobia' (Muslim Brotherhood) and points to Abedin's connections to al-Qaeda financier Abdullah Omar Nasseef.

Watch it all if you can but fast forward to the 29 minute mark if pressed. McCarthy actually says that Reps. Bachmann, Gohmert, Franks, Westmoreland, and Rooney have "understated" their case. McCarthy goes into great detail about Huma's involvement with the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA) and Nasseef's role in other Brotherhood groups.

Huma Abedin’s Brotherhood Ties Are Not Just a Family Affair

Yes, this is Huma. Yes, Huma Weiner. I don't see why that's so funny. 

STOP CALLING HERE!!!

From Andrew McCarthy at PJM:

Senator John McCain’s claim that concerns about Huma Abedin are a smear based on “a few unspecified and unsubstantiated associations” proves more embarrassing by the day. In fact, to the extent it addressed Ms. Abedin, the letter sent to the State Department’s inspector general by five House conservatives actually understated the case.

The letter averred that Abedin “has three family members — her late father, her mother and her brother — connected to Muslim Brotherhood operatives and/or organizations.” It turns out, however, that Abedin herself is directly connected to Abdullah Omar Naseef, a major Muslim Brotherhood figure involved in the financing of al-Qaeda. 

Abedin worked for a number of years at the Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs as assistant editor of its journal. The IMMA was founded by Naseef, who remained active in it for decades, overlapping for several years with Abedin. Naseef was also secretary general of the Muslim World League in Saudi Arabia, perhaps the most significant Muslim Brotherhood organization in the world. In that connection, he founded the Rabita Trust, which is formally designated as a foreign terrorist organization under American law due to its support of al-Qaeda.

You ought to be able to stop right there.

A person is not required to have done anything wrong to be denied a high-ranking government position, or more immediately, the security clearance allowing access to classified information that is necessary to function in such a job. There simply need be associations, allegiances, or interests that establish a potential conflict of interest.

Government jobs and access to the nation’s secrets are privileges, not rights. That is why the potential conflict needn’t stem from one’s own associations with hostile foreign countries, organizations, or persons. Vicarious associations, such as one’s parents’ connections to troublesome persons and organizations, are sufficient to create a potential conflict.

In this instance, however, before you even start probing the extensive, disturbing Brotherhood ties of her family members, Huma Abedin should have been ineligible for any significant government position based on her own personal and longstanding connection to Naseef’s organization.

Specifically, Ms. Abedeen was affiliated with the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs, where she was assistant editor of the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs. The journal was the IMMA’s raison d’etre. Abedin held the position of assistant editor from 1996 through 2008 — from when she began working as an intern in the Clinton White House until shortly before she took her current position as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff.
