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?
Ben Barrack is a talk show host on KTEM 1400 in Texas and maintains a website at www.benbarrack.com.
A bigger question is: Are they really married? Remember the part of the ceremony where the priest, minister, judge, justice of the peace, captain of the ship says, “by the authority of xxxx and the state of xxxx I now pronounce you husband and wife”?
By what authority did Bill Clinton have to marry them? to marry ANYBODY? He’s an ex-President (of dubious moral authority). He’s NOT a minister, or a judge. In fact, he had his law license suspended for lying under oath.
Perhaps they are notreallly married at all. Perhaps it was all a sham to give cover to her close relationship with Hillary.
All they need to do is get the marriage license signed and it’s legal. The rest is just for show.
She shouldn't/won't care about his texting since he's short 3 wives of the maximum 4 allowed under muslim law.
You mean that guy I dated in college who used to try to persuade me to do a “home run” by claiming that we would be married “in the eyes of God” by just pledging our love for each other in the moonlight was actually telling the truth?
Say it isn’t so! I didn’t believe him then, and now you are telling me that I hurt his poor little feelings unnecessarily! s/off
That was more than 50 years ago, and you are making me feel sorry for a guy who is probably dead!
I do know that, in Islamic tradition, a father can give permission for a daughter to marry outside her faith. Better for her to be married at all, then to be dependent upon the family forever is along the lines of that thinking.
bigot - anyone who doesn't change their opinion on command to whatever opinion they're ordered to have
racist - anyone who isn't part of the democrat fascist machine and who states the truth about a member of one of the groups the democrat machine has declared to be a protected group
OK, you bigoted racist, I agree with you 100%. We're being even more stupid than the French and British were when dealing with Hitler. As idiotic as they were, they didn't hand their own countries over to Hitler in exchange for a little paper that promised, “peace in our time”, they handed over someone elses country.
The leaders of the democrat fascist machine in this country, though, are so afraid of not achieving their final victory before they drop dead that they'll hand their own country over to pagan, moon worshiping, brainwashed, scum, just to enjoy being the powerful ruling class during their “golden years”. What comes after that they don't care.

God and the US legal system have two very different opinions on what constitutes marriage ;)
I've never heard anyone to be born a Christian, or a Catholic or even a Jew.
Your name may be Weiner or Goldstien or whatever, but that is genetics.
If a baby is born to two Catholics and is never baptized nor practiced (through the years) is he a Catholic?
If a baby is born to two Born Again Christians, but never receives Christ, is he born again?
So my take on this is, these are just two opportunistic, large egoed political types and their "religion" is in no way part of their thought processes.
If Huma was to ne subject to any Muslim retaliation, it would have happened a long time ago for a different reason, as a father/brother/uncle witnessed her rise in the way of life she chose many more years ago and before her marriage.
And the saddest part (for them) is that the moment the scum take that power, the lefties that handed it to them on a silver platter will suddenly be too dead to enjoy the fruits of their labors.
“(Letter that comes after E)’ing idiots” does not begin to describe the left and the useful idiots therein.
Clarification - I meant “Signed/notarized by a judge”. I wasn’t referring to the people signing it and then magically they were married. Still, requires on ceremony, so your old beau was half right ;)
Edit #2...”no” ceremony...I need sleep ;)
You dated Meatloaf?
;D
“In just 65 years we as a people have ‘willingly’ forgotten the lessons of WW2.”
The reason we as a people have forgotten the lessons of the past is our children are not taught anything about the greatness of our nation, much less what has been required to preserve it. To them our nation’s history is about the struggle of minorities oppressed by the white race and wicked capitalists. They are taught love of self and love of diversity instead of love of nation.
Absolutely, and that is very much by design.
Think about the old Kruschev (Or perhaps Lennin/Marx, can’t keep my Commies straight ;) line that went something like “Perhaps not you, but your children.” Not an exact quote but the meaning is clear enough.
There is a reason that Academia is the realm of the Left/Communist types and this is it. It has worked beautifully. Or to put it in a more Biblical sense, Teaching the kids that evil is good and good, evil...left is right, black is white, up is down, war is peace, freedom is slavery...
All there in the history books, but no one cares to read them... and the left is busily rewriting them all anyway to fit their version of history.
Orwell, Bradbury (F-451) Huxley (Brave New World) ... Even the ‘fiction’ writers got it right. But I don’t imagine they were intending to write ‘how-to’ manuals for the Left/Democrats.
...”would the U.S. Secretary of State (Hillary), making official visits to Muslim countries, have an assistant who was considered to be a Muslim apostate ?”...
No..Unless, Hillary and Bill are so “in” that it doesn’t matter since the end justifies the means. Hypocrisy is the word in politics all over the world. We are truly like lambs going to the slaughter..It is so evident, unless God decides to save us...
I’m more worried about the muslim already in the WH.
That would certainly given him license to be unfaithful to huma in any form. I am particularly amused at whatever edict covers muzzzie men to be married for a day so that they can romp in the hay with those of their choosing.
Excellent question. It;’s well known that both sides,Dems and pubbbies, of the political equation have sold out to the Saudis for millions. Is this the case with the Weiner? Hard to tell..We need hard facts.
Far from it. The islamists terrorists have been uniting with the far left all over the world. It’s our worst nightmare.
