HUMA ABEDIN'S MOTHER: An Advocate for Islamist Terror and Repression

Hillary Clinton’s closest and most powerful aide is Huma Abedin.

Abedin’s parents have been tied to wide range of terrorist activity and Islamist repression.

In 2012, the Center for Security Policy published a comprehensive review of Abedin’s mother’s work (PDF); given Ms. Abedin’s proximity to a possible future President, these connections and beliefs are well worth exploring.

…Saleha Abedin, was described in Foreign Policy misleadingly as a “leading voice on women’s rights in the Muslim world” for her work on Islamic women’s issues. The content of that work, however, turns the western concept of women’s rights on its head; Abedin’s mission is the promotion of doctrinal shariah in family life and justification of the brutal and objectively anti-women practices commonplace everywhere that shariah is enforced…

…An organization Abedin founded and chaired, the International Islamic Committee for Woman and Child (IICWC), advocates for the repeal of Egypt’s Mubarak-era prohibitions on female genital mutilation, child marriage, and marital rape, on the grounds that such prohibitions run counter to Islamic law, which allows for their practice. As shariah justification for this position, the IICWC quotes infamous Hitler-praising Muslim Brotherhood chief jurist Yusuf al Qaradawi, long banned from entering the United States for advocating the murder of Americans in the Middle East.

In the 90s, Dr. Abedin and her late husband (and Huma Abedin’s father) published the Arabic edition of Women in Islam: A Discourse in Rights and Obligations by Saudi Islamist academic Fatima Umar Naseef…

…The book includes 22 citations to works by Sayyid Qutb (1906-1966). Qutb has inspired both Islamist terrorist organizations (like al Qaeda and Egyptian Islamic Jihad) and supplied the ideological basis for the Muslim Brotherhood’s ultimate political goals as well as their tactics.

Qutb advocated for the centrality of jihad, warfare of conquest against non-Muslims, the
importance of the shariah state…

Emails recently released by Judicial Watch reveal Huma Abedin warning staffers that Hillary Clinton is “often confused“.

Should Hillary Clinton win the White House, Abedin will be in a position of significant power; she will be a “shadow president” not unlike Valerie Jarrett.
