Jewish American congressman to marry Muslim American woman raised in Saudi Arabia.
Point-of-view journalism – The way an Israeli right-wing newspaper reports it:
Brooklyn, New York Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner will marry outside the Jewish religion to Huma Abedin, a Muslim woman who is considered one of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s top aides, the New York Daily News reported.
The intermarriage rate in the United States is estimated to be approximately 50 percent and has been one of the strongest forces that has diluted Jewish identity and support of a strong Israel.
“Judea and Samaria” is settler speak for the occupied territories:
Rep. Weiner is considered a “defender of Israel” and is a supporter of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) but has not recently taken a strong stand in favor of a Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria.
More about ‘that woman’:
It is not known if Rep. Weiner’s view will be influenced by Abedin, who grew up in Saudi Arabia and is considered a “conservative.” Little is known about her personal life except that her family re-located to Saudi Arabia from Michigan when she was two years old and that she returned to the United States to attend university. Her mother, a Pakistani, is a widely known professor in Saudi Arabia. Her father, who died when she was young, was an Indian and founded an institute for interfaith understanding.
She has been described as Secretary Clinton’s “secret weapon,” organizing and coordinating her trips. She began her career as an intern for Clinton when her husband was president and was her personal advisor during her senatorial campaign in New York in 2000.
