However, Saleha Abedin is a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood. She runs the International Islamic Committee for Woman and Child (IICWC), which is part of an officially designated terrorist organization (the so-called “Union for Good”). The Union for Good’s leader Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi has issued fatwas demanding the killing of Americans in Iraq and suicide bombings in Israel.
When Huma Abedin served as top aide to Secretary of State Clinton, Hillary intervened personally to reverse a Bush-administration ruling barring the son of a Muslim Brothers major leader, Tariq Ramadan, from entering the US; the State Department excluded Israel from its “Global Counterterrorism Forum,” but prominently included Turkey; the State Department and the Obama administration waived congressional restrictions blocking the transfer $1.5 billion dollars in aid to Egypt after the Muslim Brotherhood’s victory in the parliamentary elections; the State Department and the Obama administration waived congressional restrictions blocking the transfer millions of dollars in aid to the Palestinian territories, while Hamas ruled the Gaza Strip; and the State Department hosted a contingent from Egypt’s newly elected parliament that included Muslim Brotherhood members and member of Gamaa al-Islamiyya, a formally designated terrorist organization—to name but a few egregious moves. For the full list visit the National Review’s article, “The Huma Unmentionables.”
Which is why every added Muslim atrocity makes it tougher on Hillary Clinton to make it to the White House with her ties with her Saudi raised chief aide intact. And that might be another reason as to why candidate Hillary is having so much trouble with the term “Islamist Terrorism.”
Moderator Dickerson on Saturday night said: “The reason I ask is that you gave a speech at Georgetown University in which you said that it was important to show— quote— respect even for one’s enemy. Trying to understand and in so far as psychologically possible empathize with their perspective and point of view. Can you explain what that means in the context of this kind of barbarism?”
Augusta Chronicle editorial cartoonist Rick McKee should receive the Pulitzer for his January, 2015 “Obama’s ‘Wheel of Fortune’” cartoon, describing the president being utterly baffled by the puzzle on the big screen the spells “_SLAM_C TERROR_M.” He asks to buy a vowel.
Hillary is asking for a new puzzle, one without the word Islam in it altogether. She told Dickerson: “I think with this kind of barbarism and nihilism— it’s very hard to understand other than the lust for power, the rejection of modernity, the total disregard for human life— freedom or any other value that we know and— respect.”
In Hillary’s universe, the religious upbringing of these people couldn’t possibly have anything to do with why they’re lusting for power, rejecting modernity and have no regard for human life. She lectures: “Historically it is important to try to understand your adversary in order to figure out how they are thinking, what they will be doing, how they will react. I— I plead— that it’s very difficult when you deal with— ISIS and organizations like that whose— whose behavior is so barbaric and so vicious— that it doesn’t seem to have any purpose other than lust for killing and power. And that’s very difficult to put ourselves in other shoes.”
Incidentally, even though Hillary attempted to make a meaningful statement about world-wide terrorism without mentioning the Mohammedan faith even once, she did name them ISIS, which is short for Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. But the Clintons have been immune to irony since the early 1970s.
As the presidential campaign wears on, and as the ISIS war with civilized humanity continues, undoubtedly, and becomes even more unimaginably vicious, Hillary Clinton will have to come to terms with the fact that all these atrocities are being committed by Muslims. The presidential campaign in France will be heating up as well by next summer, leading up to the 2017 vote, and right-wing candidate Marine Le Pen might be leading a continent-wide crusade against the critical European problem with Muslims within and without. Germany will also have its general election some time in 2017, with essentially the same issues and similar solutions. Hillary’s attempts Saturday night to avoid saying the M word would probably seem feeble and hopeless in retrospect, because Islam-the-problem is not likely to get better by our use of better euphemisms.
