Did Weiner Convert to Islam? [Update]

Are you sick of Weinergate yet? I certainly am. I have not listened to the usual news programs on Fox News Channel as much as I used to because, unfortunately, they are shifting more leftist as each week goes by. I really hate to hear all of the pundits (like Krauthammer, Rove, etc.) spouting how they think that Sarah Palin should not run for president. What's their problem? Jealousy over her popularity? Geez. She is a Fox New Contributor and she is relentlessly being back-stabbed by these RINO, anti-female conservative sexist boobs. If she wants to run, SHE WILL RUN. Let her be!! Let her decide!! Why are they picking on her? It's disgusting and revolting! More about this in another blog post.

Back to Weiner.

Despite the firestorm that still rages in the press about Weiner's sleazy sexual perversion habits, I must admit that something else caught my eye about him today while reading other blogs.

When I heard the name of Congressman Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, and then saw what she looked like I thought that she resembled someone of Arab descent. Then, I read a blog post that claims she is Muslim. The blog Expose Obama asks, "Did Weiner Secretly Convert to Islam to Marry a Muslim?

Most Muslim women are taught to only marry Muslim men.   Why would she marry a Jew - even if he is considered a "secular Jew?" Weiner is (or was) a Jewish man, once. Did he convert to Islam in order to be able to marry Huma Abedin? It's a good and logical question, especially when the Expose Obama blog links to an article at Floyd Reports.com reveals that 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.

When you read the entire post at that link, you may have the same questions in your mind that are stated at the conclusion of the post:

Did Abedin reject Weiner [note:  at first] 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?

I think it is much more logical to believe that Weiner converted to Islam. What do you think?

Found this tidbit interesting! Excerpt:

LM cannot think of many Jewish Muslim political marriages however, with Weiner being a major supporter of Israel who introduced the Saudi Arabia Accountability Act supporting the halting of US aid to Saudi while Abedin used to edit the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs this oddball marriage is strange to say the least.

Iron Dome Successfully Intercepts Gaza Rockets for First Time

Just heard on Fox News that Israel launched (for the first time) a 200 million dollar weapon to defeat a Gaza attack on that nation. Will add information and links here as I find it.

Via Drudge, I found this article about it:

Haaretz.com: Iron Dome successfully intercepts Gaza rockets for first time

Excerpt:

Missile defense system intercepts two rockets fired at Ashkelon as three rockets from Gaza land in open area in Negev; IDF launches strike on targets in Gaza following attack on school bus earlier in the day.

The Iron Dome missile defense system on Thursday successfully intercepted for the first time two rockets that were fired at the Israeli city of Ashkelon from the Gaza Strip.

According to reports from the area, the interception could be seen in Israeli towns near northern Gaza. The second Iron Dome battery was positioned in the area of Ashkelon over the weekend, in addition to a battery already placed north of Be'er Sheva.

Thank God for the knowledge to enable Israel to develop this much needed missile defense system! Israel is the apple of God's eye and her protection is evident in this latest development of technology that will thwart all of the Arab and Muslim nations that are hell-bent on destroying Her.

Obama's Muslim Upbringing in News Again

Have you heard about the Indonesian filmmaker who is doing a film on Obama's early years living in that nation? GateWay Pundit has a video up of a reporter who stated that "Indonesian filmmaker Damien Dematra decided at the last minute to drop the scene of Barack Obama praying towards Mecca."

Recall the report where Obama admits to the Egyptian Foreign Minister that he is a Muslim?"

“The American President told me in confidence that he is a Muslim,” said Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit on Nile TV.

Not so confidential anymore...is it?

Back in January, 2008, I wrote Is Obama Really a Christian?

Also see Wondering if Obama is a Muslim?

Learned something new about whether or not there is proof that Obama was raised in the Muslim faith. In the comment section at Gateway Pundit, blogger "bg" wrote:

just a sample:

[Barry Soetoro studied the Koran as a child in Indonesia,where he was registered as a citizen, religion Islam..

"mengaji"

[“The actual usage of the word ‘mengaji’ in Indonesian and Malaysian societies means the study of learning to recite the Quran in the Arabic language rather than the native tongue. “Mengagi” is a word and a term that is accorded the highest value and status in the mindset of fundamentalist societies here in Southeast Asia. To put it quite simply, ‘mengaji classes’ are not something that a non practicing or so-called moderate Muslim family would ever send their child to. To put this in a Christian context, this is something above and beyond simply enrolling your child in Sunday school classes.”

“The fact that Obama had attended mengaji classes is well known in Indonesia and has left many there wondering just when Obama is going to come out of the closet.”]

Indonesians see Obama, they don’t see him as an apostate at all, they see him as a crusader for the cause of Islam ….

A Socially Looser Arab Miss U.S.A.?

I added the following to my last post:

Read through the post and comment thread over at Gateway Pundit to see how political the Miss U.S.A. pageant remains to be. Last year, the "political correctness" onslaught began with the rejection of Carrie Prejean's answer that marriage is the union of one man and one woman. This year, Miss Oklahoma supported the Arizona illegal immigrant law (although she adeptly added that she is against racial profiling which the law prohibits as well) through agreeing that STATES RIGHTS should determine such hotbed issues. Because of her answer, she got second place.

Does anyone recall the question that Miss Michigan got?

It does appear to be a setup.

I wonder.

Do the judges have several questions at their disposal and then pick one according to who draws their name? Would that same judge have asked Miss Michigan a politically volatile question like what does she think about a Muslim Mosque being built at the 9/11/2001 World Trade Center terrorist attack area despite millions of AMERICAN people protesting such a structure being built because it is an insult to "celebrate" the religion of Islam that was the reason for the destruction in the first place?

I don't think so...

Thanks to the links on my sidebar, I found the answer to my question.

JammieWearingFool: Great News: Politics Once Again Arises in Miss USA Pageant.

Excerpt:

After the Carrie Prejean fiasco of last year is anyone surprised some pinhead judge brought up Arizona's new immigration law? Knock me over with a feather. Here's Miss Oklahoma saying she supports states' rights but playing both side of the border fence by saying she's against profiling, which, of course, the new law prohibits even though opponents who haven't read the law insists it does. I suspect this judge hasn't read the law.

So naturally Miss Oklahoma lost to Miss Michigan, who tripped over her gown and who couldn't answer a simple question. But since she's of Arab descent, we have to give her the award, of course.

Michelle Malkin reveals her as A Gaffetastic New Miss U.S.A..

Excerpt:

She nearly tripped over her gown.

She called birth control a “controlled substance.”

She argued that contraceptives should be covered by health insurers because they are “expensive” — and then said you could get them for “free” from your OB/GYN’s office.

Imagine if those words had come out of the mouth of Carrie Prejean or Sarah Palin.

Between the NYTimes, MSNBC, Jon Stewart, and the late night talkers, we wouldn’t hear the end of it.

Does this woman know what a “controlled substance” is?

More importantly: Does she even comprehend the concept of insurance? The purpose of insurance isn’t to cover every last medical expense. It’s supposed to cover events that are beyond your control. Should auto insurers now cover oil changes and satellite radio installations? I mean, hey, they’re “expensive,” too!

Fakih’s cheerleaders are too busy tooting the identity politics horn to care what comes out of her mouth.

But then we have this!

JammieWearingFool: New Miss U.S.A. Rima Fakih Working the Pole.

Excerpt:

Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih was a contestant in a stripping contest sponsored by a Detroit radio station, MyFOXDC.com is reporting.

Fakih appears in several photos on Mojointhemorning.com, a morning show on Detroit's Channel 955.

[T]he judges were strippers, and awarded Fakih first prize. The prizes included jewelry, gift cards, adult toys and a stripper pole for home use, according to the website.

Well....isn't THAT SPECIAL??

Many are questioning why a Muslim woman could get away with wearing a bikini and pole dance in a strip club. This commenter (at Malkin's site) explains:

Lebanon tends to be socially looser than other Arab countries. That is one reason our diplomacy tries to keep it out of Syrian clutches.

YouTube videos confirm that most Lebanese women do not wear burqas and tend to be voluptuous and proud of it. They also know Jack Shi’ite.
