Huma Abedin the top confident and closest aide for Hillary Clinton is an assistant editor to an Islamic Journal called “Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs” http://www.imma.org.uk/editorialboard.htm
In fact the “Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs” and its “Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs” were founded by Huma Abedin father Syed Z. Abedin was a famous Islamic scholar but died when Huma was 17, and now both the Islamic institute and its journal are headed by her mother Saleha Mahmood Abedin also known as Saleha S Mahmood a famous Islamic scholar and deputy dean of an Islamic school in Saudi Arabia called Dar Al-Hekma College for Women . http://www.amritavarsham.org/profiles/saleha.htm. That is Huma mother in the picture shown in the link wearing the islamic Hijab.
According to the New York Observer Huma Abedin was born in Kalamazoo Michigan but her parents took her at the age of 2 to Saudi Arabia where Huma Abedin lived in Jeddah Saudi Arabia until her return to the US for college education. From the New York Observer article on April 1 2007:
“The back story, as it were, begins 32 years ago in Kalamazoo, Mich., where Ms. Abedin, who declined to participate in this article, lived until the age of 2. Her family then relocated to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where she lived until returning to the States for college. She attended George Washington University. Her father, who died when she was 17, was an Islamic and Middle Eastern scholar of Indian decent. He founded his own institute devoted to Western-Eastern and interfaith understanding and reconciliation and published a journal focusing on Muslim minorities living in the diaspora. Her mother, a renowned professor in Saudi Arabia, is Pakistani.” http://www.observer.com/2007/hillary-s-mystery-woman-who-huma?page=0%2C1
Huma Abedin is not only an assistant for Hillary Clinton but she is her top confident, her secret weapon according to a quote from an aide to Hillary Clinton in the New York Observer article: “No one knows anything about her,” said one political aide. “She’s like Hillary’s secret weapon.”
In fact now we know something about Huma Abedin the top confident for Hillary Clinton, we know that she is an assistant editor of an Islamic journal headed by her Islamic scholar mother and founded by her Islamic scholar father.
Exactly.
Problem is that except for that one suspect phrase, there isn’t anything incriminating there.
Interesting website! I’ll have to go back and read more thoroughly — looks like they have some very good information! Thanks for sharing the link. :)
Holy crap, what a post and website this guy has.

Love it! That’s so perfect! ROFL!
He’s a prominent historian of Islam and of the Arabs.
I have only read articles by him, not the books, but I would say that although he’s careful enough to get published by Oxford University Press, he is still more of a historian than a P.C. revisionist.
Furthering Jihad through lesbianism.
And wasn’t Huma’s father an advocate of the Wahhabi sect of Islam?

PDF with references To Be Black, Female, And Muslim: A Candid Conversation about Race in the American Ummah]
Abstract
This article analyzes African American Muslims’ experiences of discrimination as they share a common religious community, or ummah, with immigrant Muslims in the United States. Both African Americans and immigrants make up a substantial part of what I refer to as the American ummah. Ideally a symbol of religious unity and solidarity, the ummah in America is marked by ethnic and racial divides. While both African Americans and immigrants contribute to these divides, this article shows how immigrant Muslims enjoy a level of privilege and power over African American Muslims. I demonstrate this through a conversation between three Muslim women: one African American, another Pakistani American, and the third Eritrean American. In this heated discussion, the African American Muslim woman articulates her experiences of racism and discrimination in the American ummah. The way in which the two immigrant women respond only reinforces her sense of exclusion and isolation in contexts in which immigrant Muslims dominate. Her struggles to define and articulate her experiences as black, female, and Muslim position her voice within the broader tradition of black feminist thought and resistance.
Introduction
African Americans constitute a substantial segment of the American ummah (Muslim community). The American cross-section of the global ummah reflects a multiethnic population of African American, Anglo, and Latino converts alongside Arab, Asian, African, and European Muslim immigrants. African Americans represent at least one-third of the American ummah. If numbers do not fully indicate the influence of African American Muslims, names certainly do. The world’s most renowned American Muslim figures have overwhelmingly been African Americans: Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Elijah Muhammad, Louis Farrakhan, and Warith (Wallace) Deen Mohammed. Yet despite the African American contribution to Islam in America, some African American Muslims feel marginalized in the American ummah. Such experiences of exclusion and discrimination contradict the Islamic ideal of ummah, a faith community united across race, ethnicity, class, and gender. In this article, I analyze race relations in the American ummah by highlighting the voices of American Muslim women. I discovered their voices while conducting research on race and class in Muslim communities in urban and suburban Chicago in 2002.

Not only Huma Abedin is a muslim, her parents are well known islamic scholars
Let me answer this by saying, if you call Shrillary at home late, or early morning who picks up the phone?
2 guesses and let me say it ain’t Bill, and it ain’t Shrillary.
In fact the media doesn’t tell us but I think there are very few days of recent history Bill and Shrillary even under the same roof. But Huma, now that would be the complete opposite. She doesn’t seem to spend nights sleeping ‘cough cough’ at home.
She sleeps at Shrillary’s.
Obama’s church doesn’t teach Christianity and is NOT Christian. I WISH you would stop telling people Obama’s a Christian.
.
The poster asked where the allegation came from. I answered.
Not that I know of...in fact, in Obama’s defense of Wright he has ONLY said that Wright baptized his daughters.
