Manifesto puts Hillary chief in Saudi plot
Huma Abedin worked for family institute tied to establishing Islamic America
Published: 11 hours ago
Although President Obama lavishly praised her over the weekend as an “American patriot,” a manifesto commissioned by the ruling Saudi Arabian monarchy
effectively places the work of an institute that employed Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff at the forefront of a
grand plan to mobilize U.S. Muslim minorities to transform America into a
Saudi-style Islamic state, according to an Arabic-language researcher.
Clinton’s top aide, Huma Abedin, was an assistant editor for a
dozen years for the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs for the Institute
for Muslim Minority Affairs. The institute – founded by her late father
and currently directed by her mother – is backed by the Muslim World
League, an Islamic organization found in the Saudi holy city of Mecca
that was founded by Muslim Brotherhood leaders.
Amid a backlash against five Republican lawmakers who want to probe Muslim Brotherhood infiltration in the federal government,
the 2002 Saudi manifesto shows that “Muslim Minority Affairs” – the
mobilizing of Muslim communities in the U.S. to spread Islam instead of
assimilating into the population – is a key strategy in an ongoing
effort to establish Islamic rule in America and a global Shariah, or
Islamic law, “in our modern times.”
The manifesto, a sweeping account of the king’s success in
disseminating the radical Wahhabi interpretation of Islam worldwide,
does not mention the Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs by name. But
it cites a book written by Huma Abedin’s father, “Muslim Minorities in
the West,” listing him as co-author.
The manifesto was unearthed and translated by Walid Shoebat, a Palestinian American author and critic of radical Islam who has done extensive research on the Abedin family’s connections to the Muslim Brotherhod and its Wahhabist affiliations.
“Muslim Minority Affairs,” the manifesto says, works “under the
umbrella of the Muslim World League and the International Islamic Relief
Organization and World Association of Muslim Youth and others.”
The document notes that the king “declared from the first day that
the Kingdom (of Saudi Arabia) was formed that its purpose was to spread
the Shariah throughout the world, as it had been revealed in the Quran
and the sunnah,” the sayings and deeds of Muhammad.
It also identifies “the Jews” as the main obstacle to success: “The
greatest challenge that faces Muslims in the United States and Canada
are the Jews who take advantage of their material ability and their
media to distort the image of Islam and Muslims there by spreading their
lies and distortions in the minds of the people in these countries.”
Huma’s father, Sayed Zaynul Abedin, founded the Institute for
Minority Affairs in 1979. Huma was listed as an assistant editor from
1996 to 2008 for IMMA’s Journal for the Institute of Muslim Minority
Affairs, the key disseminator of the institute’s ideas. Huma’s mother,
Saleha Mahmood Abedin, is a member of the Muslim Sisterhood, a branch of
the Muslim Brotherhood. Shoebat documents that Huma’s brother, Hassan
Abedin, has worked with Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Sheik Yusuf
al-Qaradawi and Omar Naseef, former secretary general of the Muslim
World League and founder of a group reputed to fund terrorists,
including al-Qaida.
President Bush issued an executive order shortly after 9/11
designating Naseef’s Rabita Trust, a subsidiary of the Muslim World
League, a Specially Designated Global Terrorist Entity, and the Treasury
Department froze its assets.
Saleha Abedin also is chairwoman of the International Islamic
Committee for Woman and Child, the IICWC, an entity within the Muslim
World League that designated Qaradawi as the main author of its charter
and policies. Her group partners with the International Islamic Council
for Dawa and Relief, which Israel has outlawed as a terrorist group that
funds Hamas. The Washington, D.C.-based Center for Security Policy has warned
that the IICWC is pressing for the repeal of Egypt’s Mubarak-era
prohibitions on female genital mutilation, child marriage and marital
rape. The IICWC say the prohibitions conflict with Islamic law.
Saleha Abedin also is vice dean at Dar El-Hekma College in Jeddah,
Saudi Arabia. She helped found the school with Yaseen Abdullah Kadi, a
designated terrorist by the U.S. and a member of the bin Laden family.
Two years ago, Huma Abedin arranged for Clinton to speak at the
school alongside Saleha and another member of the Muslim Sisterhood,
Suheir Qureshi.
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 had reported,
a founder of the 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.
President Obama speaks at White House Iftar dinner, Aug. 10 (White House photo)
‘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.”
“So, on behalf of all Americans, we thank you so much.”
Major authorities
Shoebat says the Abedins’ Journal for Muslim Minority Affairs
acknowledges that the Muslim Brotherhood’s Qaradawi and Alwani are major
sources of Islamic authority to back their doctrine of how Muslims
should act when they are a minority.
Alwani, who, as WND reported, vets Muslim military chaplains for the State Department,
asserts in a paper titled “The Jurisprudence of Muslim Minority
Affairs” that the whole world already is under the rule of Islam.
Shoebat notes Alwani speaks of a future literal war.
Alwani writes that “the land belongs to Allah, his religion is
Islam, and every country is already in the House of Islam – now in the
present time – since they will be in the House of Islam by force in the
near future.”
The director of the Islamic Center of Lubbock, Texas, Mohammed bin Mukhtar Shanqeeti, agrees.
“The Muslim Minority Jurisprudence is not a heresy or a novel,” he
writes, “it’s an ancient doctrine filled with the provisions for Muslims
living in Dar al-Kufr (House of the Heathen) or Dar Al-Harb (House of
War).”
Shoebat says the “Muslim Minority Affairs” plan combines two
Islamic jurisprudences: The Minority Affairs Jurisprudence and the
Jurisprudence of Muruna, or “flexibility.”
Under this doctrine, Muslim minorities, because of their special
circumstances, can do some things other Muslims are not allowed to do,
if they are for the purpose of advancing Islam.
Shoebat believes the doctrine of Maruna has allowed Huma Abedin to
marry former congressman Anthony Wiener, a Jew, who resigned his office
in disgrace after he was found to have engaged in illicit Internet
communications with other women.
Islamic law bars a Muslim woman from marrying a Jew. But Shoebat
argues the marriage is “one more reason for suspicion,” since Huma’s
mother, a Muslim Brotherhood leader, never denounced it.
