Abdulrahman Alamoudi
Brotherhood sympathizer now serving 23 years in prison

Abdulrahman Alamoudi is an Eritrean who arrived in the United States in 1979. Over the next decade or so, he founded a range of Muslim organizations and charities and gradually established himself as one of the leading faces of the Muslim community.

Although there is no group that calls itself the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States, law enforcement officials and other observers say it operates through what some describe as ‘front organizations’ with large followings.

Those who’ve followed Alamoudi’s activities regard him as a man who acted in concert with the Muslim Brotherhood and who’s thought processes were closely aligned with Brotherhood thinking. But, to outsiders, Alamoudi cultivated the image of a liberal, moderate representative of the Muslim community. And this guise was so successful that he was invited to meet President Clinton and George W. Bush when he was a presidential candidate. Alamoudi also managed to win the trust of the military planners in the Pentagon – who gave one of his organizations the job of selecting Islamic chaplains to serve Muslims in the US Armed forces.

But there was another, very different, side to Alamoudi. He was also making speeches in favor of Hamas and Hezbollah and, according to an FBI insider, attending a conference in Beirut with representatives of organizations that the US Government regarded as terrorists. Alamoudi’s double life eventually unraveled when he admitted his part in a plot to assassinate the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. He is now serving 23 years in prison in the United States.
