The email reads, in part: “I’m a proud Muslim–but you don’t have to share my faith to share my disgust.” The email is noteworthy for two reasons: first, that it acknowledges Abedin’s faith at all; and second, that it features Abedin, who is not only under ethical criticism but also suspected of radical ties. In 2008, then-Sen. Barack Obama was terrified of having his campaign associated with Islam, lest it trigger what his aides feared might be a Muslim backlash. In June 2008, Ben Smith (then of Politico) reported: “Two Muslim women at Barack Obama’s rally in Detroit on Monday were barred from sitting behind the podium by campaign volunteers seeking to prevent the women’s headscarves from appearing in photographs or on television with the candidate.” (The campaign later apologized to them.) The Clinton campaign, in fact, even sought to capitalize on anti-Muslim sentiment by circulating a photograph of Obama wearing a headscarf on a visit to Kenya. (The candidate herself claimed not to “know anything about it.”) Democrats have come a long way, from trying to appease anti-Muslim sentiment in their own party to using Muslims to fundraised from their supporters. However, Huma Abedin is an odd choice. A “proud Muslim” would not marry a Jew–much less scandal-plagued former Rep. Anthony Weiner–given that Islamic law prevents women from marrying non-Muslims. Stranger still, Huma Abedin’s mother Saleha is reported to be part of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is not only “proud” but radical, and violent. In addition, Huma Abedin was recently investigated for embezzlement, and has been accused of failing to provide complete financial disclosure to the State Department, as well as working for a private contractor on the side. Not exactly a proud record–except in Clintonland. 
Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton is seizing on Donald Trump’s proposal to ban all Muslim entry into the U.S. with a fundraising email featuring long-time aide Huma Abedin, who is Muslim.

I see this as backfiring on Mrs Bubba. She has been out of touch with America her whole life and gotten away with it by mostly being in the background,but she is not in the background now,and no way in hell is Bubba to risk his own fortunes by backing her like she backed him if it starts getting ugly.
I agree with you, petey. Embracing Muslims isn't going to get her very many votes - in fact, will lose her many.
And that goes for any politician, R or D that defends muslims. This next election may see a bunch swept from office. I have family in WVa. One of my cousins is a lifelong demoncrap, and union guy. He has already changed his registration to Republican, and plans to vote for Trump. He said that there are many, many like him. He said they held their noses for Obama, but no more. He said that the demonturds have destroyed coal, their jobs, the nation, are pro gay, anti God, pro baby killers, now want to suck up to the muslims and bring them in to kill Americans, and also want to take the guns! He said NO MORE! He is quite angry, and I believe him that there are many, many just like him. I used to give the demonturds credit for being politically savvy, but no more. I think they have finally pissed in their Cheerios. We will see.
