Sauduction: Hillary and Huma
Here's the back story on Hillary's alleged lover Huma Abedin. in a real puff piece written back in April in The New York Observer, my old stomping grounds. This gives the word infiltration new meaning. This is not a sex scandal. The implications are staggering. Note to regular readers, it's not my style to run sex stories (as you well know.) I haven't touched the John Edwards tawdry tale - who cares? I certainly don't. He is getting his rocks off, the girl is getting used, and pity the poor wife ...........next! He's a trial lawyer, he has no moral compass. Nothing to report.
But this is a horse of another color. Why out the story now, is the real question. Do the Clintonistas want to get it out there, out the way so it's old news by the time the election rolls around? Or perhaps to get Huma out of the way - you know those dastardly Clintons. Maybe she has outlived her usefulness. Stay tuned.
The back story, as it were, begins 32 years ago in Kalamazoo, Mich., where Ms. Abedin, who declined to participate in this article, lived until the age of 2. Her family then relocated to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where she lived until returning to the States for college. She attended George Washington University. Her father, who died when she was 17, was an Islamic and Middle Eastern scholar of Indian decent. He founded his own institute devoted to Western-Eastern and interfaith understanding and reconciliation and published a journal focusing on Muslim minorities living in the diaspora. Her mother, a renowned professor in Saudi Arabia, is Pakistani.
There's a lot to pick through
“No one knows anything about her,” said one political aide. “She’s like Hillary’s secret weapon.”
More like Hillary is her secret weapon.
Let the taqiya begin!
“[Huma] certainly feels a deep responsibility to encourage more mutual understanding between her beliefs and culture and American culture,” said Ms. Powell. “I think you will see Huma coming out of that role in the background.” [Assistant Secretary of State Dina Habib Powell, a 33-year-old who was born in Cairo, also speaks fluent Arabic]
[...]“I’d call Huma one in a million,” said Mrs. Clinton’s press secretary, Philippe Reines, “but that would mean there are 5,999 others in the world just like her, and there simply aren’t. She is truly one of a kind, one in a billion. We are all in awe of her poise, grace, judgment, intellect and her seemingly endless reserve of kindness, patience and energy.”
Special powers, definitely.
Special powers indeed.















Well,
I guess we'll see a the full monty from Mrs. Carpet Kitten to shut up the blogs and talk radio.....
Now, does this make here bias on gay rights issues or a spokersperson since she is still married to Uncle Slick? Maybe she is now going to play the victim card again?
She just wants some love...
Osama and the rest of the middle east muslim crowd are really gonna respect her now!

Maybe she's Hillary's Rasputin.

"Sauduction" indeed. This is chilling, esp. the last couple of paragraphs:

There is a reason that Huma is silent about the details of her life, could it be the Wahabbi/muslim brotherhood connections? What is her father's name, why did he go to saudi arabia? What are Huma's motives, is she a deceiver? According to the Koran, allah is the best of all deceivers.

The term 'Saudi mole' springs to mind. The Saudis don't need a mole in the current White House, as GWB pretty much does whatever they tell him. Perhaps a 'close advisor' in the administration of the Hildebeest would assist them just as well.
I still recall that the most-invited person to the Clinton White House was none other than the scumbag Arafat...

Here's my google finds on Huma's Mom, if this is her, Saleha Abedin. She fits all the info we have.
Who is Saleha Abedin, the 'feminist' saudi educator? Is she Huma’s mother?

Forgot a postscript to my last comment:
If Saleha Abedin is Huma's mother, Huma must take after her father in looks and charisma.
Posted by: the poetess | Thursday, November 01, 2007 at 04:43 PM
Okay, I'll let google go now as there's evidence that Saleha is Huma's mother. Here's her bio.
Saleha M. Abedin
SAUDI ARABIA
Saleha M. Abedin is the Vice-Dean of Academic Affairs and a founding member of Dar Al-Hekma College, one of the
first private colleges for women in Saudi Arabia. Abedin has taught in graduate and undergraduate programs at universities
and colleges throughout the world. She has been very active among international women’s NGOs, and led an international women’s caucus at the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China. Abedin has served as consultant to the Islamic Development Bank for several years and has recently been
appointed to an advisory panel of twelve experts to advise the Bank in mainstreaming gender NGO issues in the activities of the Bank. She is Editor of the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs. She received an M.A. in demography and a Ph.D. in sociology from University of Pennsylvania

Here's Saleha’s speech “Men and Women As Two Wings of a Bird” she gave to a women’s initiative group where she defends islam’s view on women.

I think Huma's mother is a feminist member of the muslim brotherhood who they let go and represent islam to the multi-culti, political correct crowd in dar al harb. She has to be Wahabbi or the saudis wouldn't let her run a college.

She was raised in very Wahabbi Saudi Arabia where her mother is vice-dean of the prime university for women.
She studied at GWU. Lots of money to go there.
So now we have a "Saudi" aide (and more) to Mrs. Clinton. I guess King Fahd was right: "...America is my best slave."
More proof.

We can talk and we can whine & whimper but understand this, the '08 election is vital for us to win; then to wage war on this enemy who is obviously outwitting the powers-that-be around the world.
"Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys." 1 Samuel 15:3
Unfortunately, Saul didn't do what God had required him to do. This same unwillingness to accomplish what God asks, by those of whom he asks it, brings us to where we are today. We need to take our stand and not be confused about who will win.
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5

It sickens me that we are so owned by the Saudi's. This is revolting news as is most of the news lately. Our Founding Fathers should be rockin' and rollin' in their graves right about now.

So what affect does this have on those of us who look upon lesbians like Howard Stern does? She's kinda hot.... =:-O
But seriously folks, the Saudi link does give one a lot more pause than the sexual aspect. Of course, you can't rule out that a feminist minded Arabic lesbian might have some less than favorable opinions of Wahabbism and Islamic radicalism in general. I'm just sayin'.
But in looking at the "scandal", it is worth referring to the Prophet Mark Steyn (PBUH) who recently wrote --
But times change, and in the new Commonwealth the Princess of Wales would have been boffo in Britain because she was divorced and boffo in Malaysia because she was (married to Dodi, a) Muslim. She would have embodied so-called "Prada Islam" – the stylish sophisticated Euro-Muslims at ease with both sides of their identity. After years of shagging cavalry officers and other assorted chinless wonders from the English upper class, Diana had finally made a smart move. Tony Blair would have been kicking himself for not thinking of it first.
You see something similar in the persistent stream of e-mails from readers demanding to know why I don't refer to Barack Obama as "Barack Hussein Obama," that being his full dress handle. The argument is that, if you use his middle name, people will realize he's some sort of Indonesian madrassah alumnus, and his numbers will head south.
Well, his numbers seem to be heading south without any help from me. My correspondents might be better advised to demand that I start referring to Hillary Saddam Clinton. But that's not the reason I demur. Like Fayed, they're mistaking a virtue for a liability. If the Right were to start insisting that Sen. Obama is not the first African-American president-in-waiting but the first Islamo-African-American president-in-waiting, a big chunk of progressive voters would merely go: Wow! Even cooler.

As always with Steyn, so bloody true.

Just broke out into laughter. A scary thought just occurred to me. Chelsea. Her dad gets involved with a girl her age and now her mother is involved with a woman her age. If this poor kid doesn't wind up in the nut house it will be a miracle.
Posted by: DBCooper | Thursday, November 01, 2007 at 11:13 PM
DBCooper: Unfortunately, Chelsea's already had at least one breakdown and been hospitalized for stress-related issues because once she got out from her mother's massive control-freak thumb and saw how others see her mother and father, she really lost it.
Bill and Hillary Clinton are definitely a case for forced sterilization.

Yes Indeed "Sauduction".
How bloody terrifying!

So if this Huma is sleeping with Hillary does she get 72 brown eyed virgins?
Posted by: Yidwithlid | Friday, November 02, 2007 at 07:03 PM
Well, since the Koran doesn't specify the number OR sex of any "virgins" awaiting the faithful in Paradise, who knows? If the virgins are male, there are thousands of very surprised suicide bombers in heaven as I type this. Of course, the Koran does mention being waited on by "bright-eyed boys", so there is hope for the faithful. Or not, depending on your preference. Besides, no one has ever mentioned the fact that IF there are 72 virgins awaiting the faithful in Paradise, what happens to the 73rd suicide bomber? Does he go without, or does he have to take leftovers? Maybe he's assigned to Arafat for eternity. A just fate, if there ever was one. "C'mere boy. Get on your knees and do me some prayin'."
