1990 : (ABDUL RAHMAN ALAMOUDI FOUNDS THE AMC-— See NCPPF) The AMC (American Muslim Council) was founded in 1990 by Abdurahman Alamoudi, a veteran operative for Saudi-backed political-action organizations, including the SAAR Foundation, which was raided by federal agents for alleged terrorist financing.
According to national-security specialists, the AMC has a long and consistent history in the United States of promoting terrorist causes or linked groups – many of which are unrelated to Islam or to the Arab-Israeli conflict. An early president of the executive board of the AMC was Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rap Brown, who was twice on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list. As a 1960s radical, Brown threatened to assassinate Lady Bird Johnson when she was first lady of the United States. He now is serving a life sentence in a Georgia prison for the 2000 murder of Fulton County Sheriff’s Deputy Ricky Kinchen. -”Undermining war on terror : Muslim groups weakening fed laws under guise of protecting civil liberties,” World Net Daily, March 10, 2003

1991 : (ABDURAHMAN ALAMOUDI CREATES AMAF-VAC- See MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD) [Abdurahman ] Alamoudi created the American Muslim Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs Council (AMAFVAC). Its purpose: to “certify Muslim chaplains hired by the military.” Qaseem Uqdah, a former AMC official and ex-Marine gunnery sergeant, headed AMAFVAC. ———Statement of J. Michael Waller , Annenberg Professor of International Communication , Institute of World Politics , Before the Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security, Senate Committee on the Judiciary , 14 October 2003 , via FR thread “TERRORIST RECRUITMENT AND INFILTRATION IN THE UNITED STATES: PRISONS AND MILITARY AS AN OPERATIONAL BASE. “
MARCH 1991 : (EXEC DIRECTOR OF THE US ARMED FORCES BOARD OF CHAPLAINS MEETS WITH DELEGATION FROM THE AMC - ABDURAHMAN ALAMOUDI URGED THE US MILITARY TO CREATE AN ISLAMIC CHAPLAINCY CORPS) In March 1991, Colonel Meredith Stanley, Executive Director of the US Armed Forces Board of Chaplains, met with a delegation from the American Muslim Council. The meeting was arranged to allow the AMC to air concerns of US soldiers stationed in Saudi Arabia. At the meeting, AMC founder Abdurahman Alamoudi— a reputed Muslim Brotherhood member who held a Yemeni passport, and who would not (fraudulently, according to prosecutors) become a US citizen until 1996— urged the US military to create an Islamic Chaplaincy corps in response to the rapidly increasing numbers of Muslims in the US military ranks.
The surge in American Muslim soldiers to which Alamoudi was referring occurred during the first Gulf War, and came largely at the hands of radical Wahhabi agents operating at US army bases in Saudi Arabia with the permission of US Military officers. In an interview with the Saudi-owned London weekly al-Majallah, Canadian Communist-turned-Wahhabi Bilal Philips revealed that he was employed by the Saudi military and put in charge of setting up a “Saudi Camp for Cultural Information” at the US army barracks in Al-Khubar, Saudi Arabia and at least two other US camps. Philips claims that in the five months after Iraqi forces withdrew from Kuwait, his operatives converted 3000 American soldiers to Islam, and that “a considerable number of US officers and men asked us to deliver such lectures...the US Army welcomed our work.” Demonstrating the typical Wahhabi worldview, Philips told al-Majallah that, “Western culture, led by the United States, is the enemy of Islam.”

1993 : (ABDULRAHMAN ALAMOUDI’S AMC SPINS OFF THE AMAF&VAC, AND ALSO THE NIPF - THE EFFORT TO INSTALL RADICAL MUSLIM CHAPLAINS INSIDE THE US ARMED FORCES AND THE US PRISON SYSTEM BEGINS - See MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD) Journalist Mary Jacoby, who reports on domestic Islamist networks for the [liberal rag] St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times, tells Insight that Alamoudi spearheaded efforts to install radical Muslim chaplains inside the U.S. Armed Forces and the prison system. In 1993, through his American Muslim Council (AMC), he spun off the American Muslim Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs Council, one of three Islamic organizations to certify chaplains for the military. That same year, according to a pro-Alamoudi briefing published by aljazeerah.info, “AMC supported the launching of ... the National Islamic Prison Foundation.” The purpose, counterterrorism experts say, was to take over Islamic chaplain programs and install more militant Muslims to indoctrinate inmates inside the U.S. prison system and network them after their release back into society. Sources close to the federal investigations tell Insight that more arrests are expected. ———— “Alamoudi Received Cash From Libyan ‘Jihad Fund’,” J. Michael Waller , Insight Magazine, Oct. 13, 2003
