Huma Abedin, the Muslim chief of staff for US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, has said that Muslims were portrayed as “terrible” by some politicians on Election Day in 2016. Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump. Huma Abedin told Arab News that he also patiently faced demands from a Republican official in 2012 for an investigation because he and his family were Muslims. Behaviors intensified in the run-up to the 2016 election. Huma Abedin has recently published a book about his experience in American politics and his childhood in Saudi Arabia. He has expressed his views in a series of interviews with global policy maker’s Frankly Speaking. During the conversation, she also talked about growing divisions in American politics and society, women’s empowerment in the American system and her marriage to Anthony Weiner, a former member of the New York Congress.

His book, Booth End, A Life and Mini Worlds, published last year, discusses anti-Muslim thinking in the United States and the country’s political system. Abidin says one of the reasons I wrote the book was to tell Americans and others what it means to be a Muslim American in this country, and that’s why I wrote about the allegations against my family in 2012. I have talked in detail, (this is about the time) when I was working in the Foreign Ministry. He said he was targeted only because he and his parents were Muslims. It is believed that these allegations were denied after the investigation by the State Department, but Huma Abedin believes that he did so to point out the flaws in the US political system. Do I see division in this country, that’s exactly it, everyone is watching and unless we serve the people, we have this choice to live in the country in which we are living. Huma Abedin, who began her political career as an intern at the White House in 1996, says there have always been differences between Republican and Democratic politicians in American politics. However, before 2016, they could have been resolved through negotiations.
