First Ever American Muslim Women PAC Announce Endorsement for Hillary Clinton, Ready to Hit the Ground Running

Washington, D.C., October 11, 2016 – The American Muslim Women Political Action Committee (AMW PAC), the first ever political action committee focused specifically on American Muslim women, today announced its endorsement for Hillary Clinton for President.

“Our primary goal is to elect leaders and support policies that represent our values,” said Mirriam Seddiq, a Maryland Immigration and Criminal Defense attorney and creator of the PAC. “In the simplest terms, we believe in basic human rights and the right of each individual to live their lives as they choose. Hillary Clinton is a candidate that not only understands those values, but has spent her life dedicated to them in her public service.”

The mission of the new PAC is to provide American Muslim women a platform from which to speak out in support of political candidates and policies that impact their community. Its formation of the PAC comes on the heels of an uptick in anti-Islamic rhetoric and speculation around the role of women in the Islamic community, triggered in part by Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s comments on Ghazala Khan’s appearance at the Democratic National Convention. “After hearing Donald Trump demonize Muslims, and imply things about our women and culture, I realized we need to take more ownership of the political conversation happening in this country,” said Seddiq. “For years we’ve been letting other people tell us what our problems are. This PAC provides a platform for us to talk about our problems, our needs and who we want to help us address them.”

The AMC PAC joins a wide variety of organizations and individuals working to address the needs and views of Muslim Americans, and has already received an overwhelming response of support. Many Muslim women from across the country have expressed interest in the PAC and are ready to hit the ground running to get Hillary Clinton elected.

“It is time for American Muslim women to have our own platform to engage on the issues we care about," said Masuda Sultan, an AMW PAC advisory board member. "As Americans, it is our duty to organize ourselves and work on solutions for our country with those who know it can be done. We proudly endorse Hillary Clinton for President on the International Day of the Girl." For information on how to donate to the PAC, please visit www.AmericanMuslimWomen.com.

From the article:

Taqiyya: Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other, unless the purpose of lying is to "smooth over differences."

There are several forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, the best known being taqiyya. These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause of Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.

[“Our primary goal is to elect leaders and support policies that represent our values,”]

American historian WILLIAM FEDERER explains how Muslims overtake cultures...

Definition:
ISLAM: to submit
MUSLIMS: have submitted.

Muslim 3-Step Program:
* Religious - Immigrate to a country.
* Political - Increase in number.
* Militant - Eliminate those who oppose them.
Every Congressman and Senator should listen to this short discussion by American Historian by WILLIAM FEDERER on Islam.

During the Q & A a student asked why legislators are so weak when it comes to condemning Islamic aggression.
FEDERER responded, “3 Things.”

1. They are ignorant about the history of Islam.
2. They are afraid of Islam aggression.
3. Or, they are on the take.

So the people attempting to take over our country and enforce sharia law support Hillary? No way! I’m shocked!

Their husbands or male relatives will only permit them to say, death to America and vote Hillary.

Your anti-American values suck, you don’t really believe that everyone else has the right to live as they choose, as a subjugated piece of chattel you don’t even believe you have that right either.

1. Unclear if Mirriam and Shailee Seddiq are related.
2. Info on either is sparse
3. Mirriam Seddiq is an immigration atty who represents clients accused of violations of federal law ( clients accused of terrorism?)
4. Shailee Seddiq is into IT; also is associated with a group called Institute of International Finance that advocates “Disruptive Technologies” to facilitate “financial inclusion.”

Sounds to me like sharia law being imposed on banking and financial institutions.
I’ve read elsewhere that American and European financial entities doing business *with* Middle Eastern entities (regardless of *where* business is being conducted, even if in the West) are being coerced into compliance with Sharia law.
So what we have here, is these “women” (likely Saudi-backed) pushing this pro-Islamic, anti-American agenda have formed a PAC to buy off Hillary.

Of course it’s necessary to paint themselves as representing American values of “inclusion” and equal opportunity, when the real goal is to conquer America.

There is no such thing as an American Muslim. There are Americans and there are Muslims you can not be both, their religion does not recognize our Constitution period and they swear no allegiance to any thing other that Allah and the various writings of Mohammed.


Madness

“In the simplest terms, we believe in basic human rights and the right of each individual to live their lives as they choose.

And you choose to be owned by some man, even though you are in a nation that arguably, freed the entire world of slavery (except, of course Islam). Yeah, you’re choosing well! I’d support that (sarc)

Has Hlllary accepted their endorsement yet? My first reaction was that this is not an endorsement that would be welcomed by most sensible candidates.

Do you suppose that Huma Abedin had a hand in this endorsement?
