Anthony Weiner Sexting Partner Says Politician Criticized Muslim In-Laws<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

In excerpts of Nobles\u2019 book obtained by MailOnline, she writes that she and Weiner shared more than just dirty talk. Weiner confided in her about his relationship with his in-laws, allegedly saying they were \u201cbackwards thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Weiner is married to Huma Abedin, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton\u2019s deputy chief of staff. Abedin is pregnant with the couple\u2019s first child. She and her parents are Muslim. Weiner is Jewish.<\/p>\n

In one text, Weiner allegedly writes, \u201cWell a lot has to do with religion \u2026 lots of restrictions and how I\u2019ve never really been accepted by them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nobles says he texted her that Abedin\u2019s parents believe he should convert to the Muslim faith.
\n\u201cYeah, it makes for a lot of uncomfortable meetings,\u201d Weiner allegedly texted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It’s probably socially embarrassing that Weiner has not converted to Islam, since within most Muslim cultures it is taken for granted that a non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman must convert. Abedin’s parents are obviously relatively<\/b> liberal and cosmopolitan. But that’s on a relative scale, standardized to the backward tendencies the norm in the Muslim world.<\/p>\n

Weiner is a nasty man. But criticizing the religious and cultural views of his in-laws is no sin. What else could you expect from a liberal Jewish New Yorker when confronted with the folkways and norms of a Muslim family?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
