Divided loyalties?

Hillary Clinton's very close associate at the State Department is Huma Abedin, who is also the wife of disgraced Congressman Weiner of New York. Abedin's mother is a professor who published a book on the rights and obligations of women in Islam. It endorses the following Islamic shariah justifications:

  • Stoning for Adultery when Married; Lashing for Adultery when Unmarried
  • No Death Penalty for the Murder of an Apostate
  • Freedom of Expression Curtailed to What Benefits Islam
  • Women’s Right to Participate in Armed Jihad
  • Social Interaction Between the Sexes is Forbidden
  • Women Have No Right to Abstain from Sex with their Husbands
  • A Woman Should Not Let Anyone Into the House Unless Approved by Her Husband
  • Female Genital Mutilation is Allowed
  • Man-Made Laws “Enslave Women”
She is also chair of an organization that is currently advocating for the repeal of Egypt’s Mubarak-era prohibitions on female genital mutilation, child marriage, and marital rape, on the grounds that such prohibitions run counter to shariah.

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is one of five members of Congress asking for Inspector General investigations of Muslim Brotherhood influence operations within the U.S. government. Read more here: http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-state-departments-divided-loyalties.html#more

Update: In the comments section of the Gates of Vienna piece is this on Hillary Clinton:  "She is also about to sign the U.S. onto the U.N. small arms treaty which will eventually see the confiscation of firearms belonging to ALL American citizens by their own government."

Update 2: John McCain has attacked Bachmann for her efforts to investigate the Muslim Brotherhood.
