| If your eyes aren't moist from laughter half-way through the Halon-based "Facts," you just aren't human! IMO, Ms. Clinton owed somebody a favor, and Huma fit the bill. Negotiated like an Arab wedding? |

| #4 It's odd: I first learnt about rabats by googling the name of the city in Morocco, and getting back also the definition of an armed rest-and-refreshment fortress-hostel built for Muslim traders abroad, established as preparation for the next stage of conquest of the non-Muslim world. Now I can't find a way to access that word, even with language translators, though Wikipedia has an unexplained list of cities and villages with that name across the Ummah, the Moslem world. |

| #3 Good information, Glairong Sforza7574. Unfortunately, I don't believe 85% of the folks out there would have the attention span or sit still long enough to read a book. They only rely on the 15-seconds that the drive-by media gives them. Even what you say would....Look, a squirrel!! |

| #2 People like Abedin and ValJar don't find their way into positions like this by accident. Their placements were well calculated and strategic. While he certainly had debatable shortcomings, imagine if you will the outrage, had President Roosevelt's long standing Secretary of State, Cordell Hull had ties to the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP). |

| #1 The apparently innocuous Rabita Trust, noted by the author, was formed in 1988 by the very dangerous Pak General and President Zia ul-Haq. Its purpose was to "disseminate Islamic Dawah [outreach]," and defend the faith. Wael Julaidan, one of Osama Bin Laden's money men, was named its Secretary General, and in Pakistan itself the Rabita held close links to the radical Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami, a powerful political organization very early tied to the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. Julaidan was also a leading figure in the Muslim World League founded by Saudi Arabia and pregnant with Muslim Brothers. Secretary General of the the MWL was the very dicey Saudi Prince Talal Ibn Abdul Aziz. And closely tied to both the Rabita and the MWL was the wealthy Saudi Adullah Omar Al Nasseef -- Abedin's patron. Naseef, a Jiddah resident, was at one time or another Deputy Speaker of the Majlis Al Sura (Saudi parliament) and Vice Chancellor of Abdul Aziz University (which following their expulsion from Egypt in the nineteen sixties was overrun by Muslim Brother teachers). The MWL and the Rabita Trust used the same address in Makka. In sum, any international Islamic or Islamist organization that works internationally is guaranteed to be loaded with Ikhwan. (In the USA it began with the Muslim Student Associations, and moved on from there.) Kessler implies that is is impossible for a Muslim to be both a Muslim Brother and pro-Saudi. However, Saudi opposition to the Muslim Brotherood is only a recent development and is directed to the Egptian chapter only and is in reality geopolitically expedient. When Abedin was making his bones, the Saudis supported the Muslim Brotherhood outreach and funding scores of Ikhwan dominated organizations that included hundreds of Muslim mosques and Islamic centers in Europe. Finally, there is so much wrong with this article that quite honestly one could write a book debunking it. |
