The plot thickens

Being in the public eye has its downsides as well. Anthony Wiener's wife may have an interesting personal life and association with Hillary Clinton but Huma Abedin also has an interesting mother and some other relatives. From Walid Shoebat and Ben Barrack at Pajamas Media:
Revealed: Weiner�s In-Laws� Secret Muslim Brotherhood Connections
Was Huma Abedin � wife of Anthony Weiner and deputy chief of staff to Hillary Clinton � unaware that her mother was reported as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood? Did Western media miss what has been revealed in several Arab newspapers and left secret in American government circles?

Al-Liwa Al-Arabi (translated here) claims to have leaked an extensive list, partially published by Al-Jazeera and several other major Arab newspapers, that includes Huma�s mother, Saleha Abedin, in the Brotherhood�s secret women�s division � known as the Muslim Sisterhood or International Women�s Organization (IWO).

Information about the IWO can readily be found at the Muslim Brotherhood�s official website. An excerpt from its goal, translated from the Arabic, states:
The Women Organization�s goal, in accordance with the Muslim Brotherhood rules, is to gain and acquire a unified global perception in every nation in the world regarding the position of women, and the necessity of advocacy work at all levels in accordance with the message of the Brotherhood, as written in Women in Muslim Society, and the rearing of women throughout the different stages of life [emphasis added].
The Egyptian paper Al-Dostor revealed that the Sisterhood includes 63 international members across 16 different countries � a claim confirmed by the Arab Center for Studies, headed by researcher Abdul Rahim Ali.

Neither Huma nor any major Western media outlets even mention this bit of common knowledge in the Arab world.

But there is more. Also confirmed by Arab sources is that Huma Abedin has a brother who works at Oxford University named Hassan Abedin. Oxford, which has long been infiltrated by Islamists who founded the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OCIS), has Huma�s brother listed as a fellow and partner with a number of Muslim Brotherhood members on the Board � including al-Qaeda associate Omar Naseef and the notorious Muslim Brotherhood leader Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi. Both have been listed as OCIS trustees. Naseef continues to serve as Board chairman.
Talk about rats in the grain. I do not see Weiner as being complicit in this, he is just frat-boy stupid. Tip 'o the hat to Firehand at Irons in the Fire. Posted by DaveH at June 19, 2011 11:24 AM
