Syed Abedin, the father of top Hillary Clinton aide Huma, outlined his view of Sharia law and how the Western world has turned Muslims hostile during a wide-ranging video interview that shines newfound light on the reclusive thinkers world views, according to footage exclusively obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Abedin, a Muslim scholar who was tied to the Saudi Arabian government until his death in 1993, has remained somewhat of a mystery as the media turns its eye to his daughter Huma, a top Clinton campaign aide who recently announced her separation from husband Anthony Weiner following his multiple sex scandals.
Syed Abedin explained his views on the Muslim world and spread of Islam during a 1971 interview titled The World of Islam, which was first broadcast on Western Michigan University television.
Abedin said that Arab states must police the upholding of Sharia, or Islamic law, and explained why the majority of Muslims view Israel and the Western world in primarily hostile terms.
The video provides a window into the Abedin familys ideology, which has been marred by accusations it is connected to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Abedin, who was then a professor in the universitys college of general studies, said that Western intervention in the Arab world has sparked a backlash among many faithful Muslims.
The response to the West has been of two kinds, Abedin said. By and large the response has taken more of a hostile form.
The first impulse of the average Muslim in the Islamic world is that this kind of borrowing [culturally] would be somehow an alien factor into our social fabric and thereby destroying the integrity of our ethos the integrity of our culture, he added.
In a separate discussion on the states role in a persons life, Abedin said it is necessary to police the application of Sharia law.
The state has to take over as Muslim countries evolve, he argued. The state is stepping in in many countries where the state is now overseeing that human relationships are carried on on the basis of Islam. The state also under Islam has a right to interfere in some of these rights given to the individual by the Sharia.
Suspicion runs rampant in the Muslim world, Abedin said, citing it as a reason why Western governing values have not been quickly adopted in the region.
In the contemporary Islamic world, religious leadership is of very crucial significance because any change that will be abiding, that will make any positive contribution to the development of Muslim life, must come from that source, and that is one reason why ideologies like socialism or communism that have been introduced into the Muslim world have never really taken root, Abedin said. They have always been considered as foreign importations. Its a kind of suspicion.
Abedin also discussed the clash between modernity and the Islamic world.
When you talk of an Islamic state does it have to have a caliph? he asked. What does it mean? What is the Islamic concept of good in the present day world?
Any cultural change, Abedin concluded, will have to be validated by the tenets of Islam.
The main dynamics of life in the Islamic world are still supplied by Islam, he said. Any institution, as I said before, any concept, any idea, in order to be accepted and become a viable thing in the Islamic world has to come through Islam.
Abedins views on religion have become a central topic among those who have questioned Clintons choice to elevate Human Abedin into such a prominent role.
The Abedins helped create the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs, a publication accused of having ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and of promoting a hardline Islamic ideology.
Huma Abedin served as an assistant editor of the journal for 12 years and also played a role in its offshoot, the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs, a think-tank established in Saudi Arabia by an accused financier of the al Qaeda terror group, according to the Jerusalem Post.
Castro + Malcolm X + Mohammed.
Under Islam, the church IS the state.
He can go...
Absolute violation of the US Constitution.
Wouldn’t Huma’s goose be cooked, under Sharia? Or is Sharia another one of those ‘some pigs are more equal than others’ deal?
If this picture doesn’t become an internet meme there is no justice in the world.
it’s so obvious for those who have actually studied Islam...and so impossible for those who see Islam as a persecuted racial minority to understand this simple fact....so we have to state it often, and clearly....
I suppose the state should enforce sharia law in an islamic theocracy. But since Sharia law is completely incompatible with the U.S. constitution, it could not happen here until the constitution was first destroyed.
That could happen, but we’d all be down a LOT of ammunition by then.
“Something Wicked This Way Comes”
Why do these faggots think a pipe makes them look smart? Just like Odumbo’s alleged father.
Islam is a war plan for world domination.
They have been carrying it out for almost 1400 years.
It is impossible to coexist with a religion whose prophet commands his followers to kill everyone who will not submit.
‘... has remained somewhat of a mystery as the media turns its eye to his daughter Huma,...’
LOL, the curiously uninterested media unless its someone they deem an enemy. They also did the same with Barry Soetoro even tho there was plenty of material to investigate. Selective reporintg at its best.
Now that is one weasel looking co@k$ucker if I ever saw one...
Huma reminds me of Doug Stamper on House of Cards. Her muscle, a real ghoul. I swear David Fincher modelled that show on the Clintons.
hipster dadddy-o
Huma is a moderate muslim and prolly doesn’t support sharia law. /s
