Washington, D.C., – The American Muslim Women Political Action Committee (AMW PAC), the first ever political action committee focused specifically on American Muslim women, today announced its endorsement for Hillary Clinton for President.
“Our primary goal is to elect leaders and support policies that represent our values,” said Mirriam Seddiq, a Maryland Immigration and Criminal Defense attorney and creator of the PAC. “In the simplest terms, we believe in basic human rights and the right of each individual to live their lives as they choose. Hillary Clinton is a candidate that not only understands those values, but has spent her life dedicated to them in her public service.”
The mission of the new PAC is to provide American Muslim women a platform from which to speak out in support of political candidates and policies that impact their community. Its formation of the PAC comes on the heels of an uptick in anti-Islamic rhetoric and speculation around the role of women in the Islamic community, triggered in part by Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s comments on Ghazala Khan’s appearance at the Democratic National Convention.
“After hearing Donald Trump demonize Muslims, and imply things about our women and culture, I realized we need to take more ownership of the political conversation happening in this country,” said Seddiq. “For years we’ve been letting other people tell us what our problems are. This PAC provides a platform for us to talk about our problems, our needs and who we want to help us address them.”

That speaks volumes . Islam is not a religion of peace.
After military conquests, Muhammad would dole out captured women as war prizes to his men. In at least one case, he advocated that they be raped in front of their husbands. Captured women were made into sex slaves by the very men who killed their husbands and brothers. There are four Quranic verses in which "Allah" makes clear that a Muslim master has full sexual access to his female slaves, yet there is not one that prohibits rape.
The Quran gives Muslim men permission to beat their wives for disobedience, but nowhere does it order love in marriage (although it does say that "love" exists). The verses plainly say that husbands are “a degree above” their wives. The Hadith says that women are intellectually inferior, and that they comprise the majority of Hell’s occupants.
And the ignorant keep cheering
First thing they need to understand - if they ascribe to ISLAM and want SHARIA law - they are not Americans!
Once you get that settled - you can go and have all the meetings you want - just remember we're watching you!
Meeting is their constitutional right, citizen.
Hillary will stand behind you..... way behind you.

"America" is fluid. Ever changing. Liberal. Communist.
Anything is possible.
The people who run the US government are extremely rich.
They created ISIS and Al CIA Duh and all the fake terror drills here in the US.
They are evil people. Very powerful.
It is those people whom the politicians serve.
They fund the campaigns.
They own the media.
The intelligence agencies work for them, not the governments.
The governments (all of them) are full of puppets.
The Emperor has no clothes.
Not to worry too much, the American Muslim Women PAC has eight members.
