Merrill said Abedin was just a figurehead and not actually on staff at the Saudi-based and -funded Journal of Minority Muslim Affairs, which featured radically anti-feminist views and backed strict Islamic laws roundly criticized for oppressing women.

Let's say for argument this is true. So being a 'figurehead' for a muslim publication that says the U.S. was behind the 9/11 muslim terrorist attacks is ... better?
