[quote=Anonymous]Discussed this last night with DH, who is Muslim and active in Muslim-anchored political circles.  He said a couple of things:

1.  The news of the affair, if real, will damage her standing in the Muslim constituency.  That said, they will probably still hold their nose and vote for her until another viable candidate emerges, but there won't be much public advocacy for her in religion-centered outlets like mosques, community centers etc.   As unobservant as American Muslims can be, there are two hard stops for their behavior in public - open consumption of pork and extramarital sex between Muslim women and nonMuslim men.

2.  The brother marriage story is fishy but possible.  When the wave of Somali immigrants came to Minnesota, it was quite common for families to commingle and pass nephews and nieces for kids, using the lack of records in war-torn country as a pretext. So that a brother who had a shot at a refugee visa, for instance, could take his sister's kids and claim they are his.  No one would know. [/quote]
