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?

Friend of Obamma, no doubt. Both of them practicing lying to non-muslims, a basic tenet of sharia law.
I also find it interesting that Huma Abedin, especially with her family background, has been such a close advisor to Mrs. Clinton ( who wrote her college thesis on Saul Alinsky) for so long. I have to wonder how much influence she has on our Secretary of State and her policy pronouncements re the Middle East.
It's very interesting and a bit scary these days how many "unusual" people with "unusual" ideas have gained powerful, even extraordinary, access to our halls of power in the Obama Administration. Take a look at the associations and the backgrounds and the radical views of some of these individuals, and decide for yourself where this country is headed while all our backs are turned and we're being cleverly “persuaded’ by the media, the schools and colleges, the unions, and our own government to look the other way.
It's always wise for the chickens in the hen house to keep an eye out for roaming clever foxes.
Who cares? I've known more than a few expats who (falsely) converted to marry a good woman. They can lie to us. It is only reasonable that we should lie to them.
Weiner LIES like a true Muslim, Therefore he is one !!
Maybe the both of them are following the religion of the Clintons and Bushs ; One World Government will rule.
the only trouble obama really, really wants it, except he is aimming for one religion (islam) to take total control of our freedoms and our way of life. good by AMERICA nice knowen you. GOD SAVE AMERICA and give the fools of this country some real brains to see and hear what the hell is really going on to our country.
Weiner never practiced Judaism, his believed identity with Judaism enhanced his possibilities of being elected in his NY district. I feel it was assumed by many that he was a Jew, though he never said he was.
But, marrying in a Muslim ceremony, and the Imam advising that Mrs. Weiner should stand by her husband seems to indicate that Weiner made some serious representations for that Islamic center to grant the marriage as within Muslim law.
Why would we be shocked by the fact that Weiner converted to Islam? He was as sincere to that ritual as he is to the US Constitution. In other words,"Not."
In the interim, his mentor, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY hasn't said much which is absolutely strange on Schumer's part. He never misses an opportunity to be on camera.
The sound of his silence is deafening.
Stan Lee, I don't know if you know it, but Schumer is every bit as low as human as Weiner! No? Watch, and it won't be a long wait, either!
the muslims are just using these dumb people for what they need them for , to find things out and when they nare done with them they are toast. muslims beleive that you are not a true muslim if you not an arab. only arab muslim are true muslims, the rest is histroy.
Yes, it could be said that Weiner came from Jewish heritage. I think it's a relief to Jews that he avoided whatever heritage that was available to him.
In other words, he chose not to inherit it and he is probably a convert to Islam. This guy drifted about until his age 45. He is a reckless adventurer, a bad choice for the US Congress. I'm sure there are many more in Congress like him.
His mission was to "get that woman," but Islam is more serious than that.
Weiner couldn't have been.
I like to call it the Islamic/Marxist blood covenant! After all, both are Anti-Christs, aren't they? In fact, I'm now waiting for a caliphate between them to destroy America, Britain, and even the Marxist Jews in Palestine(you figure?), which probably was already accomplished long, long ago! No? Watch!
you nailed it right in the head. you know a muslim will do or say or lie like hell to get what they want. weiner is pretty good at that, but he probably didn't think that people would just want the dick out, you know his friends the dems, that are even trunning on him. you know that obama and all his cronies should be investigated to the hilt. it what they learn from obama the leader. they hold all the secrets of this country, but they are probably not secrets anymore.
how do you know she is might be a part of this to find secrets of our goverment and more? she just may of not know about the tweets or what ever this animal did.
Being a sleaze is a prerequisite for membership in Congress. Remember, way back when there were still a few moral and ethical individuals, the Ethics Committee expelled Senator Bob Packwood for kissing a woman on the lips at a social event? My, my, how times have changed!
Muslim women are severely punished if they marry non-Muslim men.. that should answer that query..
Taqiyya is the duty of every Muslim to keep striving until all Governments have been converted to Shari'a law. Taqiyya is a form of 'outwitting'. The skilled taqiyya-tactician [Barry Soetoro/Soebarkah, aka Barack Hussein Obama] doesn’t want the matter at hand to be debated or discussed; so his opponent must be outwitted or preemptively outflanked by the use of taqiyya. The objective is to divert attention away from the subject through duplicity & obfuscation. Elena Kagan supports Sharia Law
Mitch [waterbuffalo] Obama long ago became a Muslim!
Fer cry'n out loud, has Der Weiner been compromised again by the doings of his sweetie, whom he likes to cheat on? What kind of lying stalker is this wimpy little snake tongued congressional? OY!
Go to the rabi and the psychiatrist, use the tax paid cadillac medical plan and get those vices taken from your once jewish mind, only islamist think like you.
So I guess if he is, he committed hudud crimes.

I agree. All major religions seem to be simply farts in the wind to this group of NWO suck-ups. The Dodd Report of the Reece Committee, 1954, explains the details. Their religion is the taking over of the Western World by the super-rich .00001%, under the umbrella of the NewWorldOrder. Dictatorship with another name.
Americans UNITE !
