Agha Saeed, founder and chairman of the American Muslim Alliance, a political group headquartered in Fremont, Calif.
Other national Muslim groups supporting a change include the Council on American-Islamic Relations [CAIR], the Muslim American Society and the American Muslim Council.
The budding movement is largely unformed, and religion watchers question whether it will succeed. Still, the call for new terms shows that words carry huge symbolic importance for Muslims trying to find their role in America after Sept. 11 and the Iraq war.
"These are not just let's-make-you-feel-good words," Saeed said. "These are words that define how we're related to each other."
Others take offense, arguing that to alter the phrase "Judeo-Christian" is political correctness and revisionist history at its worst.

Agha Saeed = Hillary's outreach and terrorist front groups
The American Muslim Alliance's June fund-raiser for Senate candidate Hillary Clinton was simply a culmination of her outreach to militant Islamic groups. Beyond its anti-Israeli postings on its Web site, the AMA's head, Agha Saeed, has openly sanctioned the use of "armed resistance" against Israel and declared that the "Zionist occupiers of Palestine can be beaten back." At its 1997 annual convention, the AMA distributed an article by S.A. Ahsani, head of the AMA's Texas chapter, denying the existence of "Auschwitz, Birkenau and Majdanek." At AMA national conferences in 1997, 1998 and 2000, numerous speakers numerous speakers condemned the "Jewish and Zionist" lobbies and their "control" of the United States.
In the end, the issue is whether Mrs. Clinton has unwittingly enabled these groups to gain legitimacy. Clearly she is aware of the danger attending to associations with extremists. In January of this year, Mrs. Clinton's campaign criticized New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani--then a prospective Senate opponent--for sharing a dais in New York with Joerg Haider, the far-right Austrian head of the Freedom Party. In March, the Clinton campaign manager attacked the mayor for hiring fund-raiser Richard Viguerie--who Clinton aides pointedly noted, had raised money for Patrick Buchanan and had once praised David Duke.
Later, when Rick Lazio said he would be willing to accept an endorsement from the New York branch of the Reform Party, whose presidential candidate is Mr. Buchanan, Mrs. Clinton blasted Mr. Lazio: "I think his [Buchanan's] record--anti-Semitic comments, his record of intolerant and prejudicial remarks--are ones that I don't want to be associated with."
These are noble sentiments. If Mrs. Clinton is willing to denounce Messrs. Haider and Buchanan, why has she associated with groups that have espoused anti-Semitism and supported terrorism?

Because this 'woman' will do ANYTHING' to satisfy her ambitions for power, control and self-gratification.
