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?

I’m not changing the subject. Did you forget you jumped into an existing conversation?
The false premise was Huma’s trip to Saudi Arabia offered evidence - it doesn’t.
Your argument amounts to saying Muslims lie, and Muslims want to subvert our country. Sure, some Muslims do, and there’s is a movement, but the notion that every Muslim in the State Department, or with high level clearance is a treasonous spy doesn’t fly. Let’s say you’re correct though - it’s still a huge leap to then figure Weiner is a covert Islamic spy too.
These people are sleazy enough that there’s no need to lambast them with conjecture/presumed guilt.
Since I was six I have discovered that you can substitute strawberry or raspberry jam for grape jelly so my seduction techniques have improved over time. ;^)
Here’s the false premise you should be defending:
algernonpj: “The facts the Huma has not been threatened with death as an apostate, and is allowed to travel with Hillary to Saudi Arabia”
Doesn’t that suggest you think Saudi Arabian travel for non-Muslim, or secular Muslim is a death sentence? Very naive.
Oh, and knowing of the taqqiya concept still doesn’t validate the wild accusation. Get us some facts.
You smooth, silver-knifed devil, you....:))
The girls don't stand a chance! ;^)
Here, let me tweet ya a pic...
You, me, a loaf of multi-grain bread, a jar of nat P, a jar of razzleberry preserves. A butter knife for each of us. I'll even rig up some dashboard lights! Don't tell me you haven't felt this tempted in years. :))
Switch the jam for raw honey and you’re on...:)
Writing down brand new girl-getting info. Go to farmer's market. Next weekend should be awesome!
Just make sure the honey is *warm*.
[skip the comb version..the wax crumbs are a mess to remove]
Grilled peanut butter and honey sandwiches sound like the ticket then! :-)
Uh...the honey doesn’t go on the sandwiches.
;]
Note to self: Let this one alone. She knows things.
Lots of things.Scary things....>:-]
Ah once again you pick and choose a piece of my post, out of context.
Does being a Moslem apologist pay well?
Me: "Want half my sammich? It's got grape jelly."
Her: "Sure!" (takes the whole sammich)
I'll never get used to the fact that cute soft looking salamanders are serious predators. But very funny! lol
“Does being a Moslem apologist pay well?”
Is that your default when challenged?
I’m not apologizing for Muslims, I’m pointing out there are holes in your irrational thinking which you can not defend.
Interesting comment from someone who steadfastly denied even the remote possiblity of:

or

Again, your asinine argument hinges on the assumption that:
1) all Muslims working in the US Government are Fifth columnist spies
2) Saudi Arabia kills anyone who is not a 100% practicing Muslim, and skirting such a death sentence is evidence you’re a fifth columnist spy.
Try some sanity.
Did Weiner Secretly Convert to Islam to Marry a muslim?

. . . . Catching up from yesterday. This article is worth reading, and there are some serious questions being asked in the comments.
Thanks, Slings and Arrows.
De nada.
