Do We Need to Know More about Weiner's Wife?

When Bill Clinton's Lewinsky scandal broke, Hillary was portrayed as the victimized wife. The facts behind the curtain revealed something far different (think Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broderrick). Her closest adviser is a Muslim woman named Huma Abedin, who is also the wife of Rep. Anthony Weiner. The Australian is reporting on how Hillary has taken Huma under her wing. Shortly after the Weinergate scandal broke, both Huma and Hillary left the country together.

Via The Australian:

SOMEWHERE between Abu Dhabi and Lusaka, the US's most powerful diplomat sat down with her closest aide last week and talked of straying husbands, predatory women and internet sex.

It was not quite what Hillary Clinton had intended when she set off on her latest tour as US Secretary of State; yet it is hard to think of anyone in Washington better equipped to offer advice on the painful fallout from a sexual scandal.

For once, the shenanigans had not involved Clinton's husband, Bill. Yet the saga of congressman Anthony Weiner's penis and how its picture turned up in cyberspace has crushed one of the Clintons' most cherished acolytes and added a poignant human twist to an otherwise farcical tabloid tale.

She is officially Hillary's deputy chief of staff but Huma Abedin, Weiner's clever and glamorous 35-year-old wife, means far more to the Clintons than her title suggests. Hillary once described her as "a second daughter" and when Abedin married Weiner last year, Bill presided over their vows in his capacity as former president.

In another trip early last year, Huma accompanied Hillary to a school in Saudi Arabia that her mother co-founded. Another co-founder was none other than Yaseen Abdullah Kadi, who was once on the designated terrorist list.

It would seem that before we allow Huma to be portrayed as the completely innocent, unsuspecting victim, some research should be done into her background.

Tony Blair Continues Down Road to Dhimmitude

Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair converted to Catholicism after his stint as Britain's leader, so why does he read the Qur'an every day? Is it to understand what fuels the hatred of our Islamic militant enemies? Uh, not so much. It's to make sure he remains 'faith-literate.' Blair's sister-in-law converted to Islam some time ago so the two now share something else in common. Can you imagine this admission coming out of the mouth of the likes of Sir Winston Churchill? No word in the Daily Mail article about how much time Blair spends reading the Catholic Bible.

Via the Daily Mail:

In an interview with the Observer magazine, published yesterday he said: ‘To be faith-literate is crucial in a globalised world, I believe.

‘I read the Qur’an [Koran] every day. Partly to understand some of the things happening in the world, but mainly just because it is immensely instructive.’

Mr Blair believes that a knowledge of the faith informs his current role as Middle East envoy for the Quartet of the United Nations, United States, European Union and Russia.

The former PM’s work, which has cost British taxpayers more than £2million, aims to help resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Mr Blair has previously praised the Muslim faith as ‘beautiful’ and said the Prophet Mohammed had been ‘an enormously civilizing force’.

In 2006 he said the Koran was a ‘reforming book, it is inclusive. It extols science and knowledge and abhors superstition. It is practical and way ahead of its time in attitudes to marriage, women and governance’.

But Mr Blair has also faced the devastation wreaked by violent jihadists who interpret the Koran as a call to arms.

Courageous leaders in western civilization are in short supply these days. When cowardice reaches the point of willfully selling out your country, there's usually another term applied to it.

CAIR Files Lawsuit Seeking to Ban Book

When guilty parties can no longer use silence to prevent serious charges against them, it usually means those charges have become extremely damaging. Such appears to be the case with the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the authors of a book that blow the lid off of CAIR's true intentions. The book - Muslim Mafia - was written based on documents secretly removed from CAIR's offices by the son of the book's author, David Gaubatz. According to Gaubatz's attorney, CAIR is not continuing to pursue litigation because it believes it can win; it's doing so for the purposes of intimidation.

Via WND:

After filing two unsuccessful versions of its complaint, CAIR has filed yet another amended complaint that asks federal Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington, D.C., to bar the Gaubatzes and anyone related to their effort from publishing the documents and recordings obtained in the undercover operation.

CAIR interpreted the judge's order to return all copies of the documents as a demand to also return "copies published in the book," according to a Joint Status Report filed April 22 in federal court in Washington, D.C.

Horowitz, a frequent television legal analyst based in the San Francisco Bay area, has teamed with two other high-profile lawyers in the case. Bernard Grimm, in Washington, D.C., is a regular commentator on the Fox News Channel, CNN and Court TV. Martin Garbus, in New York City, is perhaps the country's best known First Amendment lawyer.

Horowitz believes CAIR knows it can't win the case, but he cautioned that the Saudi-funded group "can chill the First Amendment by making it so expensive to speak against them that no one can challenge them."

CAIR is using bully tactics to prevent future lawsuits and challenges. The strategy appears to work when it comes to Fox News Channel, which continues to tout CAIR as a civil rights group. Until these entities stand up to groups like this, they will continue to bully.
