Alavi Foundation:Our purpose is to promote a better understanding of Islamic culture through the support of charitable and philanthropic causes in education, religion, arts and sciences.

I'm sure there are even more interesting contributors to the Clinton Foundation.

No. Human Abedin is half Indian, half Pakistani. Raised in Saudi Arabia.
