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.

A small glimmer of hope that maybe our government is finally starting to wake up to reality?

Paragraph from that article:

Sam Dibbley, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office in Alexandria, said, "The investigation into all those cases is still continuing. I can't comment on any specific organization."

As long as our government is run by this administration we should see things being done for the good of this country regarding the war on terror. Let another administration, like the pervert Clinton come on board and we are doomed.

This is the Abdulrahman Alamoudi, on the board of directors of the AMC, who gave that speech at the pro-Pali rally in DC in 2000: "Hear that Bill Clinton? We are ALL supporters of Hamas! Allahu akbar! I wish they added that I am also a supporter of Hizbullah!"

Alamoudi also attended and participated in the Bierut terrorist conference in January 2001 which included leaders of Hamas, Hizballah, Islamic Jihad, and OBL's organization.

Alamoudi was also the first exclusive endorsing agent for Muslim Chaplains for all branches of the US Armed Forces, head of the famous “American Museum Council” of Hillary Clinton Senatorial campaign fame, and a former “good will ambassador” for the U.S. State Department.

Alamoudi also gave Cynthia McKinney $2,000 on Sept. 11, 2001, according to a Federal Election Commission (FEC) report. His donation was part of the total of 24 donations worth $13,850 on Sept. 11, 2001—her second-biggest fundraising day of the year, according to FEC records.

Alamoudi basically laid out the Muslim strategy for America in the following quote taken by Steven Emerson from an audiotape of the annual conference of the Islamic Association for Palestine in Chicago on December 28, 1996:

”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…to do it. You can be violent anywhere else but in America.”
