From American Jihad: The Terrorists Living Among Us by Steven Emerson:
"Cair takes the public position that it condemns terror...in fact, Cair has often served as an ideological support group for militants...Cair has even refused to condemn the Taliban...Cair officials have defended the actions of suicide bombers...Cair has several ties to the Hamas-connected organizations...Steve Pomerantz, former chief of the Counterterrorism Section of the FBI and former assistant director of the FBI, say: 'CAIR has defended individual involved in terrorist violence, including Hamas leader Musa abu Marzook...The modus operandi has been to falsely tar as "anti-Muslim" the U. S. government, counter-terrorist officials, writers, journalists and others who have investigated or exposed the threat of Middle East-based terrorism.' Seif Ashmawy, former publisher of Voice of Peace, wrote: 'It is a known fact that both the AMC and CAIR have defended apoologized for and rationalzed the actions of extremist groups and leaders such as convected World Trade Center conspirator Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman...'"
The president of the American Muslim Foundation is Abdulrahman Alamoudi, who organized the American Muslim Council in 1990. The American Muslim Council (AMC) "...is a founder, corporate parent and supporter of several militant Islamic groups...[It] served as the headquarters of the U.S. office of the Islamic Salvation Front, a militant fundamentalist group whose U.S.-based representative was mailed pending deportation proceeding for his support of terrorism...At its 1997 convention, the AMC hosted Layth Shubaylat, a terrorist implicated in an Islamic plot to topple the regime of then-King Hussein in Jorda. Shubaylat has managed a legal defense fund for Ahmed Daqamisa, the Jordanian soldier convicted in the killing of Israeli schoolgirsl in Naharayim in 1997....In early 1995, 1995 hosted a visit by Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi. Al-Qaradawi, a renowned Muslimc cleric, has blessed 'martyrdom operations in which a given Muslim fighter turns himself or herself into a human bomb that casts terror in the hearts of the enemy...'"...At the end of January 2001 in Beirut the same Abdulrahman Alamoudi attended and participated in what the U.S. State Department called a terrorist conference with a 'destructive agenda.' The conference brought together leads of Hamas, Hizballah, Islamic Jihad and Osama bin Laden's organization." (Quoted parts are excerpts from Emerson's American Jihad.
