I havent been cursed by my liberal friends lately, so I thought I would wake you up politically and remind you that Senator Lindsay Graham and a few other Republicans are going Obama Bashing again in January when they bring up the Abedin letter. Go ahead yell, get it out of your system, I know how ignorant and stupid I am...et al... Muslim Brotherhood conspiracy theories From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Ambox scales.svg This article has been nominated to be checked for its neutrality. Discussion of this nomination can be found on the talk page. (April 2013) Muslim Brotherhood conspiracy theories allege that the Obama administration is advancing the Brotherhoods goals; and that Huma Abedin, a member of Secretary of State Hillary Clintons staff, is advancing the Brotherhoods agenda. Theory about Huma Abedin[edit] Main article: Huma Abedin In July 2012, Representative Michele Bachmann delivered a letter[1] to the State Departments inspector generals office in which she tied Huma Abedin, an aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to the Muslim Brotherhood and stated that the Muslim Brotherhood was directing the Obama Administrations approach to the Middle East. Bachmanns letter also questioned how Abedin was able to receive security clearance.[2] McCain also criticized Bachmanns letter, which was cosigned by Republican congressmen Trent Franks, Louie Gohmert and Lynn Westmoreland, as nothing less than an unwarranted and unfounded attack on an honorable woman, a dedicated American and a loyal public servant. In addition to McCain, Republican leader John Boehner, and Ed Rollins, who had managed Bachmanns 2012 presidential campaign, criticized Bachmann. Boehner called Bachmanns accusations dangerous and Rollins called them vicious smears that reached the late Senator Joe McCarthy level.[2][3][4] Senator Lindsey Graham said the charges were ridiculous and that Abedin is about as far away from the Muslim Brotherhood view of women and ideology as you possibly could get.[5] Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) called the comments on Huma Abedinin in that letter ... the wrong thing to do.[6] The Anti-Defamation League condemned the letter as well, referring to it as conspiratorial and saying that the Representatives involved should stop trafficking in anti-Muslim conspiracy theories.[7] Middle East scholar Juan Cole sarcastically avered that Bachmann herself might be a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood based on her having previously expressed support for the Mujahideen-e Khalq.[8] Abedin was subsequently placed under police protection after she received threats of violence, possibly connected to the allegations.[9]
