Furthermore, her father was born in India, and her mother was born in Pakistan, and they emigrated to Kalamazoo, Michigan. But then, circa 1977, by some miracle of happenstance, they turned on a dime, and decided to up and leave, for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and never come back.
Hmmm.... let's see. Mid-to-late 1970's. Saudi's are flush with their new-found petroleum wealth, and are beginning to flex their muscles. What kind of people would they go looking for to spend all of those newly acquired petro-dollars on?
And why would someone chose to abandon a free nation, like the USA, in favor of a closed society, like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia?
And why would they move halfway across the world, to that closed society, in order to pursue a career in a profession [university teaching] with a notoriously shaky financial underpinning, unless they had been promised financial security by their new employers?
Or was the whole thing a ruse? Did they only come here to get birth-right citizenship for Huma?

If you will recall, there were Iraqi agents seeded with Pakistani names while Iraq held Kuwait. The actual citizenship of this woman and her ‘parents’ should be a priority for intel.
I dunno. That's a great collection of media mentions about Huma, and some very well wrought speculation. Somehow though, I just don't think this is the hinted-at rumor. Call it a hunch.

Wahhabism is official in Saudi Arabia. It is influential in Qatar, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates. It has a substantial following in Yemen, which also has many Shia Muslims. It is unpopular in Bahrain and irrelevant in Oman.
Wahhabi Online maintains that no Muslim elected to Congress or the White House can swear to uphold the U.S. Constitution and still be a Muslim.
"No one can be a Muslim who makes or freely accepts or believes that anyone has the right to make or accept legislation that is contrary to that divine law," Idris adds. "Examples of such violations include the legalization of alcoholic drinks, gambling, homosexuality, usury or interest, and even adoption."
"No Muslim could become president in a secular regime, for in order to pledge loyalty to the constitution, a Muslim would have to abandon part of his belief and embrace the belief of secularism - which is practically another religion. For Muslims, the word 'religion' does not only refer to a collection of beliefs and rituals, it refers to a way of life which includes all values, behaviors and details of living," Idris says. "Separation of religion and state is not an option for Muslims because it requires us to abandon [Allah's] decree for that of a man."
He further explains: "Islam cannot be separated from the state because it guides Muslims through every detail of running the state and their lives. Muslims have no choice but to reject secularism for it excludes the laws of [Allah]."
