The magazine singled out longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin and U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) as politically active apostates who involve themselves in the politics of the kufr, meaning disbelievers, ABC News reported Wednesday.
ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is quoted elsewhere in the article as saying that those who are caught before they repent, then there is no amnesty for them and their shall be a painful and fatal punishment, the report says.

A rep for the Clinton campaign declined comment, but Ellison tweeted out a statement about the threat referring to ISIS as Daesh, an acronym the group hates.
As millions of faithful Muslims flee Daeshs imposed nightmare they call a caliphate, Daesh takes the time to threaten Muslim servants in the West, like myself and my friend Huma Abedin. Daesh is a collection of liars, murderers, terrorists and rapists. No Muslim I know recognizes what they preach as al-Islam, he said.

It goes to show you ISIS is RW fanatics, I guess.
Kudos to the Rep. Ellison. What a brave man!

(15,480 posts)Mrs. Abedin-Weiner has been noticeably absent from the campaign spotlight lately. Can't get more serious than a death threat from ISIS. As long as she's accompanying HRC, she benefits from Secret Service protection. I suggest with this development, the HRC campaign should hire security to accompany her.

(35,079 posts)If we're letting Daesh determine who the 'real Muslims' are, should we also let them determine who the 'real Middle Easterners' are, or who the 'real humans' are?

I hope she makes a response. Her parents and family were Islamic scholars, so I would think she would be able to make a compelling theological case against the terrorists.

(872 posts)That's not the job of the secret service.
She is with Hillary on the campaign trail; I saw a photo of them together just within the past few days.

The Secret Service does more than just protect a few people. They have also in the past been called upon to protect citizens - often very rich citizens - who have been threatened.

(2,495 posts)is that a moderate mainstream view? For a country to flog a Christian lady for selling alcohol (as was done in Indonesia) recently, I believe it is mainstream.
muslim dominated countries don't seem to accommodate other views.

(12,530 posts)5 minutes to be too concerned with Ellison and Abedin. We're all getting into the sport of vaporizing ISIS skulls--the Syrians, the Russians, the Iraqis, us, not so much Turkey. Their propaganda wing is making a little noise, but they're too busy trying to wriggle out of their death warrants to be concerned with much else right now.

(8,303 posts)That's one of the issues with expecting moderate Muslims to somehow deal with these people within their own communities. If it becomes known, they face a death penalty from these horrible people with their horrible ideology.
Both Ellison and Abedin should receive US protection. We must not let this sort of thing go unchallenged.
