WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A man affiliated with at least two American Muslim groups has been arrested on criminal charges, federal law enforcement officials said on Monday.
They confirmed a report by Al Jazeera, the Arabic satellite channel, that Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi has been arrested. They declined to give details of the charges against him.
Muslim activists described him as one of the founders of a group called the American Muslim Armed Forces and Veteran Affairs Council and a board member of another Washington, D.C.-based group called the American Muslim Council.
The officials said the arrest took place over the weekend, and that details about the case were expected to be released later on Monday.

if we are outside this country we can say O Allah, destroy America, but once we are here, our mission in this country is to change it
There is no way for Muslims to be violent in America, no way. We have other means
