Did Anthony Weiner Convert to Islam?

By Ben Barrack WebToday (June 8, 2011)-- The New York Times reports that Rep. Anthony Weiner's wife – Huma Abedin – is a “practicing Muslim” who was raised in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In 2007, the New York Observer wrote – article no longer available but cross-posted at Free Republic – that her mother is a professor in Saudi Arabia and that her father was an Islamic scholar before his death.

Who is Huma Abedin and what does she do????? Hint... she works for Hillary Clinton

Secretary Hillary Clinton 7th Floor - State Department

Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations Huma Abedin 202-647-9572

Islamic law forbids any Muslim woman from marrying a non-Muslim man. Weiner was raised Jewish but admitted to growing up in a non-religious household. Sacred Islamic Law Manual/Umdat Al Salik Book of Marriage M.4.2 (2) and M. 4.3 forbids a Muslim from marrying an apostate or corrupt man.

If Abedin remains a practicing Muslim and her religion forbids her from marrying a non-Muslim, which of the two of them is the mostly likely convert?

Known as the Shahada, the Islamic testimony of faith is very short. Weiner would have been required to say it according to Islamic law.

Otherwise, Abedin would have violated a primary tenet of her religion. Here is what Weiner would have had to say in order to be able to marry Abedin according to Sharia law: “There is no God except Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.”

Curiously, the imam of the Islamic Cultural Center of New York (ICC), of which Ground Zero mosque Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is a trustee, is a man named Sheik Omar Abu-Namous. He is calling for Abedin to stand by Weiner.

Why would an imam encourage a Muslim woman to remain married to an unfaithful, Jewish man?

Feisal Rauf mentioned above also has a long history of Muslim Brotherhood ties to include;


§Rauf Friends of spiritual chief Yusuf al-Qaradawi via al-Taqwa Bank who champions shariah Law.
§Perdona Global Peace Org (MB, Hamas, AQ)
§ Jamal Barzinji MB Leader is a partner in Cordoba Initiative
§ Farouk Kahn – Daisy Uncle, Board member of ISNA, IMANA, and ICNA & Westbury Mosque Chair until 2006(MB)
§ Rauf's Manhattan ASMA offices at 475 Riverside Drive occupy the suite next door to (CAIR)
§ Alwaleed Bin Talal funds over 300K to Raufs Muslims Leaders of Tomorrow.
Hisham Elzanaty -- an Egyptian-born businessman from Long Island -- provided a big chunk of the $4.8 million needed to buy the building that will be demolished to make way for the mosque. Donates to HLF an organization which was shut down in the largest terrorism funding trial in U.S. history in 2008, which resulted in CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood member being sentenced up to 65 years in prison.


Feisal Rauf Sr. who;
Ø Taught at Al Azhar Univ. CAIRO Egypt
Ø Al Azhar approves Umdat Al Salik/Reliance (Islamic Law re: Jihad, Apostasy, Homosexuality, gender Equality)
Ø Contemporary of Hassan Al Banna (Founder of Muslim Brotherhood) & attended
Al Azhar University together
ØExpanded Islam in UK, Indonesia, and U.S.
Funded his Mosques by state sponsors of terror and Muslim Brotherhood members/entities, which Feisal Rauf Jr. now runs.
He is calling for Abedin to stand by Weiner.

Why would an imam encourage a Muslim woman to remain married to an unfaithful, Jewish man?

Compounding this matter further is the fact that Abu-Namous was quoted in 2001 as saying: “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.”

In 2007, Abu-Namous spoke alongside the director of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) at the First National Summit of Imams and Rabbis. Abu-Namous is on record as having said there was no conclusive evidence that Muslims were responsible for the September 11th attacks. Ironically, Abu-Namous's predecessor (Feisal Rauf) at the ICC blamed the Jews for 9/11.

ISNA is a Muslim Brotherhood group.

There is a 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?
