Omar Abu-Namous is the imam of the Islamic Cultural Center in New York and he is encouraging Huma Abedin – a practicing Muslim – to stand by her husband, New York congressman Anthony Weiner. Why would this imam support Anthony Weiner, who was raised Jewish, in a marriage with a practicing Muslim woman?
Every Islamic scholar agrees that it is forbidden for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim. Former Muslim Walid Shoebat has translated the Arabic declarations relative to the validity of the marriage between Weiner and Abedin last year. One such publication Shoebat translated was the Al-Marsid newspaper, which reported on the Weiner/Abedin marriage specifically:
Dr. Anwar Shoeb of the faculty of Islamic law in Kuwait declared that the marriage between Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin is null and void, considering it adultery as confirmed in the Sharia position, prohibiting the marriage of a Muslim woman to a non-Muslim, regardless of whether he is a Jew or a Christian. In this case, he assured the invalidity of the marriage certificate between them.
Abu-Namous is in direct opposition to his Islamic superiors? Why?
Abedin was raised in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In 2007, the New York Observer wrote (in an article no longer available but cross-posted at FreeRepublic.com) that her mother is a professor in Saudi Arabia and that her father was an Islamic scholar before his death.
Weiner was raised Jewish but admitted to growing up in a non-religious household. If Abedin remains a practicing Muslim and her religion forbids her from marrying a non-Muslim, isn’t she failing to practice Islam? Wouldn’t that be the case unless Weiner converted to Islam? The New York Times reported that Weiner “sometimes fasts with her (Abedin) during Ramadan.” This would indicate that the congressman is more amenable to practicing Islam than Abedin is to practicing Judaism.
Before people should start believing that Abu-Namous is of the more moderate persuasion, consider what he was quoted as saying in 2001:
A unified Muslim state would be the ideal instrument to convince the world that Islam is the last version of God’s word. God meant his word to be obeyed.
Moreover, Abu-Namous spoke alongside the director of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) at the First National Summit of Imams and Rabbis. ISNA is a Muslim Brotherhood group. Abu-Namous is on record as having said there was no conclusive evidence that Muslim were responsible for the September 11th attacks. Ironically, former ground zero mosque imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is a permanent trustee with with the ICC. Abu-Namous’s predecessor at the ICC blamed the Jews for 9/11.
Presiding over the wedding of Weiner and Abedin was none other than Bill Clinton. It took place at the Oheka Castle in Huntington, NY on Long Island – barely more than thirty miles from the ICC where Abu-Namous served as the imam.
The Al-Marsid newspaper reported what Bill Clinton said. Shoebat translated:
Clinton spoke, presiding at the wedding about how the two met and how Abedin rejected Weiner in the beginning but the persistence of the latter did not make him give up….
Did Abedin reject Weiner because he was not Muslim? Why is a New York imam with ties to the ISNA and Feisal Abdul Rauf defending a non-Muslim male with a Muslim female?
Perhaps there is a more important question that needs to be answered. Did a secular Jewish man convert to Islam or did his (still) practicing Muslim wife abandon her religion by marrying him?

“he’s short 3 wives of the maximum 4 allowed under muslim law.” I think you got something there. Weiner is a very busy man, what with all that congressional work. All this texting young women was his way of advertizing for more wives. A few pictures of his Johnson to the perspective wives, hey see what you catch. Remember, you only show enough to win.
The son of friends of mine was married in Florida by a notary public.
Maybe Clintoon took out a notary license from whatever state he's supposed to have residency in....if it allows notaries to perform marriage ceremonies.
Or, perhaps, he still fancies himself Captain of the Ship of State.....therefore allowed to tie peoples' marital knots.

I can understand why the wife kept her own name. Can you imagine being Mrs Huma Weiner?
I agree, and he’s there illegally. We have been taken over, and there is no easy way out. Roll up your sleeves, it’s going to be a long pull...
Don’t forget that the Mexican cartels have decided to become pals with Mohammedan terrorist groups.
wow....never knew that traitor was born Jewish ...or half Jewish technically
sounds like his folks were goofy hippies
Is Bill Clinotn a secret imam?
That is one of the stupidest headlines I’ve ever read.
Who knows? Who Cares? The guy is an internet perv.
I thought maybe she had dated me but 50 years ago I was 6.
All I was offering then was PB&J sandwiches. ;^)
Bronxville - That Leftist blogger interpretation of Weiner’s debate makes him sound pretty solid on Israel. Doesn’t matter though...while he was viewed as some progressive truth-teller, he never could change the Lefts mind on Israel. He was always written off as Jewish and partial. He was ultimately useless.
“By what authority did Bill Clinton have to marry them?”
Presidents are authorized to officiate a civil ceremony. So is Weiner as a Congressman actually. Creepy, right?
It’s considered a great honor to have Mayors, Governors, Congressman, Senators, and higher placed Judges officiate, and it’s a side job for these people to show up on behalf of their jurisdiction.
“The facts the Huma has not been threatened with death as an apostate, and is allowed to travel with Hillary to Saudi Arabia....”
You have an active imagination. Is Hillary also a Muslim too?
Has Obama been threatened as an apostate for publicly renouncing Islam?
Do buy into the Muslim mythology used to harass and intimidate. How many billions of self identified Muslims are there again? Most are bad Muslims or casual observers by Saudi standards.
He was fairly persuasive about Israel on television especially since the press loved him. He was a barrier in not letting them go too far in dissing Israel and now he’s gone. That only leaves Schumer and Lieberman to buffer the NY media. They tried to dump Lieberman in the past which is why he went Independent. That leaves Schumer who isn’t quite as vocal as Weiner.
Schumer said “I’m not opposed” to the NYC mosque...Weiner never took a stance. Here’s a letter from him praising Blooomberg for his address about the mosque...

I believe Weiner is a narcissist, narcissists interact socially with others but they don’t form relational social bonds which matches Weiner and explains why there’s few supporting him. Narcissists don’t like being ‘owned’ therefore the they reduce all of those around them as non-human objects and this basically describes the marxist. I honestly doubt that there could be much love between Tony and his wife but they will stay together as it’s a cover for more deviant practices. I apply the same to Bill and Hillary, Obama and Michelle among others both in and out of congress. They’re followers of the “bluebloods” - “the upper class” - the Fabian Society, Bloomsbury Group, Cambridge Apostles, and so on...check out the background of the people who founded them. Vita Sacksville-West and hubby Nichols, Webbs, Woolves, GB Shaw, Bertrand Russell, Welles, Keynes, Huxleys, Strachey, Bells, and many more in the “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law” crowd.

I still don’t think Weiner was an effective advocate for Israel.
Maybe if he got some booty off it, like he did his irrational health care rants. The difference is, with Israel he was in the right, and it’s a lot harder for a sociopath to convince someone of the G-d given truth than it is to be a maniacal liar.
Not to be an ingrate, but outspoken as Weiner was, he never applied the same passion to the topic of Israel.
“Huma, as Weiner’s wife and Hillary’s confident, is in a special position to influence policy toward Islam and Sharia in the US.”
Because you have what evidence that she practices Sharia?
I mean, really. I’m not denying the worst of the worst Islam has to offer, but don’t pretend you possess a plausible scenario because you learned the phrase “taqqiya”. Let’s use logic... if you think a woman must be Sharia observant to enter Saudi Arabia, that would mean Condeelza and Hillary were as Muslim as Huma. It’s silly. Your paranoiac stems from Huma’s family, and while that’s valid, it doesn’t wrap this lunacy up with a bow.
“That is one of the stupidest headlines I’ve ever read.”
Yes. That.
“I can see PB&J by the dashboard light”?
Well, lyrically, it ~does~ fit.
