Shoebat believes the Wahhabist connection to the Abedin family is significant and
that Huma Abedin, as an assistant editor for the Journal for the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs was serving the interests of Saudi Arabia’s anti-American foreign policy.Security clearance
Advocates for an investigation of the Muslim Brotherhood’s influence on the U.S. government argue a simple reading of security clearance guidelines in reference to Huma Abedin’s family would warrant investigation.
The Center for Security Policy notes that security clearance guidelines for federal employees state a “security risk may exist when an individual’s immediate family, including cohabitants and other persons to whom he or she may be bound by affection, influence, or obligation are not citizens of the United States or may be subject to duress.”
The guidelines express concern for any “association or sympathy with persons or organizations that advocate the overthrow of the United States Government, or any state or subdivision, by force or violence or by other unconstitutional means.”
Nevertheless,
Clinton’s top aide, who was born in the U.S. but raised in Saudi Arabia, has been fiercely defended by both Democrats and Republicans since five Republican lawmakers led by Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., cited her as an example of possible Muslim Brotherhood infiltration and asked the inspector generals at the departments of Homeland Security, Justice and State to investigate.
Yesterday, Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank suggested researchers and lawmakers who have presented evidence of the Muslim Brotherhood ties of Abedin and her family are motivated by racism. He commented it’s “hard to escape the suspicion” that the charges have “something to do with the way she looks and how she worships.”
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., called the request for an investigation of Abedin and her family a “sinister” and “nothing less than an unwarranted and unfounded attack on an honorable woman, a dedicated American and a loyal public servant.”
But Shoebat says that “page after page” of the Saudi manifesto casts “Muslim Minority Affairs” not “simply as a title or as a religious or even a social entity, but as a Saudi foreign policy, a jurisprudence and commandment from the highest of authorities commissioned to the Saudi Ministry of Religious Affairs.”
It’s the Saudi Ministry of Religious Affairs that enforces the infamous ban on any expression of any religion other than Wahhabi Islam in Saudi Arabia through its religious police, the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice.
Shoebat says the manifesto recalls five decades of efforts and billions of dollars spent “to ensure that Muslims will be an unassimilated group which then can influence the non-Muslim host nation and other nations, regardless how small the numbers of Muslims, by shifting the demographic scale due to their population growth in favor of this Saudi agenda.”
As WND has reported, a founder of the Saudi-funded, Muslim Brotherhood front group Council on American-Islamic Relations, Omar Ahmad, spoke to a group of Bay Area Muslims in 1998 about their duty to not “melt” into American culture but, instead, to spread Islam in America until it becomes “dominant” and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth, according to a local reporter who stands by her story despite CAIR’s claims to the contrary.‘Values that we hold dear’
President Obama praised Huma Abedin at a White House dinner Friday night celebrating the Muslim ritual of Iftar, which concludes the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.Obama said Abedin has been “nothing less than extraordinary in representing our country and the democratic values that we hold dear.”
Shoebat noted that the head of the Islamic Society of North America, a Muslim Brotherhood-backed group mentioned as an important player in the 2002 manifesto, was sitting across from Abedin at the White House Iftar dinner.
In his remarks, Obama said, to applause, that among the “American women serving with distinction in government” are his “good friend, Huma Abedin, who has worked tirelessly” in the White House, U.S. Senate and “most exhaustingly, at the State Department.”
While many defenders of Abedin have downplayed her influence – even to suggesting she’s little more than a fashion adviser to the pantsuit-wearing secretary of state – Obama indicated she has a role in policy.
“Senator Clinton has relied on her expertise, and so have I,” Obama said.
In a June 7, 2011, feature, the Washington Post reported Abedin is “personally close to Clinton” and “oversees planning and scheduling and advises on politics and policy, especially the Middle East.”Obama told Iftar guests the “American people owe her a debt of gratitude – because Huma is an American patriot and an example of what we need in this country – more public servants with her sense of decency, her grace and her generosity of spirit.”
