The Post reports that Abedin continued to work for the publication until 2008.

When Hillary became Secretary of State (2009-2013), Abedin was Clinton’s chief of staff at the State Department.
However, soon after that “historic and transformational” 1995 event, as Clinton recently described it, her top aide Huma Abedin published articles in a Saudi journal taking Clinton’s feminist platform apart, piece by piece.
In 1996, however, an article was published in the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs entitled “Women’s Rights are Islamic Rights”, evidently opposing the United States first lady’s speech in Beijing, where Saleha Mahmood Abedin had been in attendance as a Muslim World League representative.
The Clinton campaign would like us to believe that even though she worked there for 12 years as the assistant editor, Huma was just on the masthead and had nothing to do with the content.
Another damning piece in the same issue, written by Abedin’s mother, chastised Clinton for pushing a “very aggressive and radically feminist” agenda.
Huma is now the top aide to Hillary Clinton, but when she was a Muslim woman working at her mother’s radical Muslim journal, she had a different view on the Clintons.
Andrew McCarthy, a former U.S. Attorney with the Department of Justice, called the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs a “thinly veiled mouthpiece” for the pro-Sharia Muslim Brotherhood.
Headlined “Women’s Rights Are Islamic Rights”, a 1996 article argues that single moms, working moms and gay couples with children should not be recognized as families.
“‘Empowerment’ of women does more harm than benefit the cause of women or their relations with men”, she wrote, according to the Post.

Abedin’s brother and sister have also been listed as the journal’s staff members, as associate editor and assistant editor respectively.
Hillary Clinton claims she’s a champion of women but has not condemned the Muslim rape epidemic ravaging Europe, and has taken tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments that oppose women’s rights.

Quoting Nick Merrill, a spokesperson for the Clinton campaign, Emanuel stated, “These tabloid claims are more of the unfounded vitriol being pushed by Steve Bannon and Trump’s other conspiracy theorist peddling cronies”.
