Center Report Reveals Radical Islamist Views and Agenda of Senior State Department Official Huma Abedin's Mother.

Center Report Reveals Radical Islamist Views and Agenda of Senior State Department Official Huma Abedin's Mother.(CenterForSecurityPolicy).WASHINGTON, D.C.:  A book published and translated by the mother of Obama administration State Department Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin provides fresh evidence that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's closest aide has deeply problematic foreign associations that could, in violation of departmental guidelines, "create... a heightened risk of foreign exploitation, inducement, manipulation, pressure, or coercion."

In light of the escalating controversy over the role being played in U.S. security policy-making by Ms. Abedin and others with personal and/or professional ties to the Muslim Brotherhood (see Part 8 of the Center for Security Policy's online curriculum at MuslimBrotherhoodinAmerica.com), the revelations contained in a new Center report-- Ties That Bind? The Views and Agenda of Huma Abedin's Islamist Mother-- could not be more timely, or important.

The Center's report excerpts and analyzes relevant passages from a book published and translated by Saleha S. Mahmood Abedin called Women in Islam: A Discourse in Rights and Obligations by Fatima Umar Naseef. Naseef is a past head of the "women's section" and professor of shariah at King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah, where Dr. Abedin is also on the faculty.  The book was published in 1999, the same year Dr. Abedin founded Dar Al Hekma, a university for women also in Jeddah, that Secretary Clinton visited and spoke admiringly of with Huma Abedin in February 2010.  [See Remarks on that occasion by Mrs. Clinton, including her comment that Huma holds a "very sensitive and important position" in her department, and those by her hosts.]

Excerpts from Women in Islam in Ties That Bind? The Views and Agenda of Huma Abedin's Islamist Mother include Islamic shariah justifications for the following practices:

• Stoning for Adultery when Married; Lashing for Adultery when Unmarried
• No Death Penalty for the Murder of an Apostate
• Freedom of Expression Curtailed to What Benefits Islam
• Women's Right to Participate in Armed Jihad
• Social Interaction Between the Sexes is Forbidden
• Women Have No Right to Abstain from Sex with their Husbands
• A Woman Should Not Let Anyone Into the House Unless Approved by Her Husband
• Female Genital Mutilation is Allowed
• Man-Made Laws "Enslave Women"

The organization responsible for the publication of Women in Islam was the InternationalIslamic Committee for Woman and Child (IICWC), chaired at the time by Dr. Abedin.  IICWC misleadingly describes itself as "an international organization of concerned women who are committed to improving the condition of women and children around the world."  In fact, like the Muslim Brotherhood, the Muslim World League (MWL) and other Islamist organizations with which it is associated, the IICWC is committed to eviscerating the rights of women and children by imposing everywhere shariah, a code that denies them fundamental - and, in the United States, constitutional - liberties.Read the full story here.Downlaod the report here.
