| 释义 |
The American Muslim Council (AMC) is an Islamic organization and registered charity in the United States. Its headquarters is located in Chicago, Illinois. {{citation needed|date=December 2011}} An earlier organization with the same name was founded in 1990 by Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi with the support of the Muslim Brotherhood.[1] (Al-Amoudi is also the former leader of the Islamic Society of Boston.) {{citation needed|date=December 2011}} The AMC later reorganized itself under a new name and moved its national headquarters from Washington, D.C. to Chicago. The organization currently using the name "The American Muslim Council" is different from the AMC founded by al-Amoudi; it is much more moderate.[1] AMC took part in the defense of South Florida Professor and Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Sami Al-Arian and questioned the US government's allegation that the professor took part in terrorist activities.[2] AMC produced a pamphlet in which it said that "the FBI has a history of harassing and harming minority and immigrant communities".[3] On March 2, 2006, Al-Arian entered a guilty plea to a charge of conspiracy to help the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a "specially designated terrorist" organization.[4] Al-Arian was sentenced to 57 months in prison, and ordered deported following his prison term.[5] AMC is also a member of the American Muslim Political Coordination Council (AMPCC), along with the American Muslim Alliance (AMA), Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC). AMPCC's primary concern is to coordinate the member organizations on activism and lobbying.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A12823-2004Sep10.html |title= In Search Of Friends Among The Foes U.S. Hopes to Work With Diverse Group |author=John Mintz |author2= Douglas Farah |work= The Washington Post |page=A01 |date=September 11, 2004 |accessdate=February 13, 2007}} 2. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,56543,00.html |title=The Truth About The AMC |work=Fox News |date=June 28, 2002 |accessdate=May 19, 2009 |first=Frank |last=Gaffney}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/comment-levin050703.asp |title=Sami's Still Their Man |first=Jon |last=Levin |date=May 7, 2003 |accessdate=May 19, 2009 |work=National Review}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://nefafoundation.org/miscellaneous/FeaturedDocs/U.S._v_Al-Arian_pleaagr.pdf |title=Plea Agreement; U.S. v.
