Huma Abedin Gets Twitter Account to Attack Dr. Ben Carson
"Free speech should not be permitted if it does not “benefit” Islam."
"You can be a proud American, a proud Muslim, and proudly serve this great country. Pride versus prejudice," Abedin declares.I suppose it's a question of what part of being American or Muslim you take pride in.
While Huma Abedin doesn't talk much about her beliefs, here is some of what her mother believes.
Abedin also directs the Amman, Jordan-based International Islamic Committee for Woman and Child (IICWC), a Muslim World League affiliate that identifies itself as part of the aforementioned IICDR. Abiding by a charter authored by Yusuf al-Qaradawi and several other leading Muslim Brotherhood members, IICWC advocates the implementation of strict Sharia Law and calls for the repeal of Egyptian statutes that currently ban female genital mutilation, child marriage, and marital rape. Because each of these practices find doctrinal support in Sharia, IICWC favors them.Does Huma Abedin agree with these ideas promoted by her mother? Can a "proud Muslim" holding such ideas also be a proud American?
Saleha Abedin is perhaps best-known for her efforts in editing and translating (into English) author Fatima Umar Naseef's 1999 book, Women in Islam: A Discourse in Rights and Obligations, which quotes extensively from the writings of the eminent Muslim Brotherhood theorist Sayyid Qutb. Lauding Naseef as “a prominent Saudi scholar,” Abedin describes the book as “a comprehensive study of the rights and obligations of women in society from the Islamic perspective.”
Specifically, the book asserts that all Muslim women must wear the hijab, or veil; that Sharia offers women “the only escape” possible from the tyranny of manmade laws that “enslave” them; that female genital mutilation is permissible; that stoning and lashing are appropriate punishments for adultery; that apostates should be executed for abandoning the Muslim faith; that those who kill apostates should not be subject to the death penalty; that women are not only permitted, but obliged, to participate in violent jihad; that social interaction between the sexes is forbidden; that women have no right to abstain from sex with their husbands; that a woman should not let anyone into her family's house unless approved by her husband; and that free speech should not be permitted if it does not “benefit” Islam.
