Huma’s History

Something important is missing in the breathless coverage of the psychodrama that involves a clearly mentally ill Anthony Weiner and the woman who is enabling him, despite his appalling sexual disorder, to run for mayor of New York.

What is absent from the generally sympathetic, if not actually fawning, coverage of Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, is a key part of her background.  It should preclude this couple from being anywhere near power, let running America’s most important city.

Ms. Abedin has been involved for nearly twenty years, both through family and personally, with the Muslim Brotherhood and a top al Qaeda financier named Abdullah Omar Naseef.  These ties demand questions of Hillary Clinton, whom Abedin worked under for most of that time.  They must finish off Anthony Weiner’s literally naked public ambitions.
