Abdurahman Alamoudi Has Been Sprung

The Al Qaeda financier Abdurahman Alamoudi is being released from prison fourteen years early, because… Well, maybe because he was a good boy. Or because he had a change of heart.

Or maybe because the Muslim Brotherhood has friends in the White House…?

The article below was just published at Big Peace and the Center for Security Policy.



Freeing Al Qaeda? DOJ Moves to Cut Prison Term for Alamoudi

By Frank J. Gaffney, Jr.


Just when you thought it was not possible for the Holder Justice Department to become any more hostile to the national and homeland security interests of the American people, along comes yet another travesty. This one threatens both, as it apparently would involve turning loose in America a convicted terrorist known to be a top Muslim Brotherhood (MB or Ikhwan in Arabic) operative and al Qaeda financier: Abdurahman Alamoudi.

According to a short Associated Press report on July 8th:

Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to cut the 23-year prison term being served by an American Muslim activist who admitted participation in a Libyan plot to assassinate King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.

Alamoudi – who famously declared his support for Hamas and Hezbollah at a rally in Lafayette Square in October 2000 and was recognized by the Justice Department as a Muslim Brother – has been incarcerated with other top terrorists in the Supermax facility in Colorado. As an American citizen, he would presumably be allowed to stay in this country upon his release.

Alamoudi at Large

Can it be precluded that, once he is freed, Alamoudi would take up again with those he did so much to help sponsor, foster and run as one of the leading Muslim Brothers in the country? Lest we forget, as a driving force behind many of the myriad MB front organizations in the United States, he previously was deeply involved with the fulfillment of the Ikhwan’s mission here as described in its 1991 strategic plan.

That plan, which was found by the FBI in 2004 when they discovered the secret archives of the Muslim Brotherhood in Annandale, Virginia, is entitled An Explanatory Memorandum On the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America. (It is reprinted in its entirety as Appendix 2 of Shariah: The Threat to America) According to this memorandum, the Brotherhood’s mission in America is “a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within…by their [read, our] hands and the hands of the believers.”

This objective is, of course, identical to that of al Qaeda, the other jihadist enterprise for whom Alamoudi previously worked. Who knows, if freed, could he rejoin its ranks, too?

At the very least, one has to assume that Abdurahman Alamoudi would be able to reconnect with the Muslim chaplains in the U.S. military and prison systems whom the Clinton administration allowed him to recruit, train and credential. As no evident effort has been made to relieve his hand-picked folks from their clerical responsibilities ministering to such exceedingly sensitive populations, putting Alamoudi back in business – or at least back in touch – with them could intensify the grave security threat they might pose even now.

Why Would Alamoudi be Freed?

So what possible justification could the Holder Justice Department have for releasing such an individual just nine years into a twenty-three year sentence? The AP story notes that, “The documents explaining why prosecutors want to cut Alamoudi’s sentence are under seal, but such reductions are allowed only when a defendant provides substantial assistance to the government.”

We can only speculate about what such “assistance” might be. Could Alamoudi be telling the feds insights about his former paymaster, Qaddafi, that could be helpful in removing the latter from power? As it is not entirely clear whether such an outcome is actually the goal of the United States, France or NATO in Libya at this point, it is hard to see that possible help as justification for running the serious risks associated with springing so dangerous an individual.

Perhaps, alternatively, Alamoudi might have spilled the beans about his friends in the Brotherhood’s vast North American infrastructure. Did he provide further confirmation of the subversive role being played as part of what the Ikhwan calls its “civilization jihad” by, for example, organizations and members of: the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim Students Association (MSA), the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), the Muslim Community Association (MCA), the Islamic Council of North America (ICNA), the Muslim American Society (MAS) and the Fiqh Council?

Such insights seem unlikely to have been valued by the Obama administration, though, since it continues to have extensive dealings with such groups and individuals associated with them. If anything, such ties with MB fronts and operatives will be intensifying, now that Team Obama has decided formally to embrace the Muslim Brotherhood’s mother ship in Egypt.

Unfortunately, given this trend – to say nothing of the mindlessness of the Holder Justice Department when it comes to matters of national security – a more probable explanation for its willingness to give Alamoudi a get-out-of-jail-free pass is that the Obama administration is anxious to remove an irritant in relations with its friends in the Muslim Brotherhood and to demonstrate that a new day is dawning in those ties.

Alamoudi’s GOP Influence Operation

As it happens, in the aftermath of the Alamoudi announcement, one of his most successful pre-incarceration influence operations bore fresh fruit. In 1998, Alamoudi personally provided seed money to enable libertarian anti-tax activist Grover Norquist to establish the Islamic Free Market Institute (better known as the Islamic Institute or II). The Institute served the purpose of credentialing Muslim Brotherhood operatives like Khalid Saffuri, Alamoudi’s longtime deputy at the American Muslim Council (AMC), who became II’s founding executive director – as “conservatives” and enabling them to infiltrate the George W. Bush 2000 campaign and administration.

After the incarceration of his sponsor on terrorism charges, Norquist, the president of Americans for Tax Reform, has continued to promote Muslim Brotherhood personnel and agendas inside Republican circles. For instance, just this week, at the July 13th meeting of his so-called “Center-Right Coalition” in Washington, Norquist staged a denunciation of legislation now being debated in state legislatures across the country: the American Laws for American Courts (ALAC) legislation.

MB Priority: Stopping American Laws from Governing in American Courts

The Muslim Brotherhood is outraged that three states have already enacted one version or another of the ALAC bill designed to preclude foreign laws (including, but not limited to, shariah) from being used in that state’s courts if doing so would deny constitutional rights or otherwise conflict with state public policy. It has been introduced in some twenty others states and, to date, has passed in one house or another of four of them.

Such successes have been achieved by Americans all over the country because there simply is no good argument for opposing this affirmation of our civil liberties for all Americans – including American Muslim women and children whose rights are frequently being impinged upon by the application of shariah. (See ShariahinAmericanCourts.com, a study of twenty-seven cases in twenty-three states where shariah was allowed to trump American laws.)

Last Wednesday, Norquist arranged for three speakers – self-described Jews or Christians – to promote the Muslim Brotherhood line that free practice of religion, including that of non-Muslims, would be denied were ALAC to be adopted. Nothing could be farther from the truth, as the legislation itself makes clear (See PublicPolicyAlliance.com). But it is instructive that the GOP influence operation Alamoudi spawned continues to serve his intended purpose: dividing and suborning conservatives in the best tradition of the stealth jihad at which he and his Brothers have long excelled.

Perhaps another venue in which we can expect to see Abdurahman Alamoudi should the Obama administration actually get away with freeing this al Qaeda terrorist will be as a featured speaker at Grover Norquist’s Wednesday meeting?

I suppose that we should all be glad for this. A few more repetitions of such gross malfeasance will guarantee that Obama is a one term flame-out. That would be the best possible outcome short of having him removed from office even sooner.

Holder is nothing but a racist and a traitor.

As an Englishman, can I ask a question for clarification :
Is it correct to conclude that Obama is doing to islam and muslims what presidents prior to President Reagan did to the USSR; that is, appeasement and accommodation? If so, wasn't it President Reagan's robust confrontation of the evil that is socialism that helped bring about its demise. And, so, what we, the world are awaiting is the US President who will be the new Reagan? Obama is clearly, to me, the Carter of this situation.

@John in Chesire:

Your comparison to of obama, the first muslim potus to Jimmy 'the dhimmi' Carter are right on target. They are both placards and doormats of appeasement and weakness. Spineless hacks who both hate the USA and all it stands for, much good and some bad things as all countries have done some horrid things in their history.

It was the inaction of carter against the muslim world in 1979 that first got my attention about islam, muslims and all things nasty that are part and parcel of islam.


obama has made it no secret what he wants to do here and that is do all he can islamize the United States through whatever means he can, legal or not. There are now so many muslims in high ranking positions throughout his administration that the damages being waged are severe and deep.

The mullah obamaham has used the horrid economy as a diversion to fool the American people while he supports and promotes islam at every turn and the LSM helps him out by doing their worst to NOT report many news events which cast islam, muslims in a any negative way or form.. obama is a much worse potus than Carter ever was.

Years of perverse, excessive political correctness, diversity and multiculturalism have made islamiication of the USA and other countries easier than ever imagined.

Many of us here are wondering who will have the balls to stand against this evil of our time, islam and the entire package of perverse sharia ideology. As long as islam is seen and held up as a 'religion', which it is not, the task of defeating islam in this multicultural, diverse and politically correct environment is made extremely difficult.

The new Reagan? Allen West gets my vote but there are others as well. But West has no problem calling out islam for what it truly is; a wretched, perverted, persecution filled cradle to grave ideology of intolerance, hatred for all others and death.

Absolutely. Allan West is, lacking a better definition, the new Reagan to this spineless jimmy carter wanabe seditious orientalist.

It's incredible - if you think about all the blatant crimes against America by Ubama - how this gangster is still in office. Sheesh, Clinton was empeached, Nixon was ousted... you know how to do it America... we've held our breaths long enough!

How can anybody call that guy an American President without going red-faced?

Well, rethorical question, actually we all know why: it's been drummed into our cultural identity for so long that we now think "war is Peace" and "Freedom is Slavery".
It's not just this criminal that has to go: we must get rid of anti-americanism in american culture; this must be the default position again. Getting rid of Ubama is not going to change the American socio-political climate overnight. I want pro-war films, anti-islamic-terrorist films (like Executive Decision and Tears of the Sun), pro-national media and a whole new swathe of journalists (not jornolists). We must expose crap like MSNBC and that islamism-whitewashing-pretends-not-to-be-a-muslim-anymore cenk uygur and oh-so-freakin-funny john stewart.

Again, Israel must be reached out for what it is and who they are, not for what the UN says it should be or what muztards everywhere say it shouldn't be!

Across the pond, Americans must stand firmly as one to say that Castro and Chavez are NOT our friends and ever have been.

One way to show them and other world dictator parasites is by revitalising America's industry - drilling your own oil, liquidating industry unions, bringing back auto to Detroit and steel to Pittsburgh. That would be a huge middle finger to the saudi "alies" and the chinese (ahem) capitalists.
Oh yeah, and tell the UN, Amnesty International, environmentalists and feminists to take up their ill advised crusades against china, russia and the middle east. America has something to teach the "Turd world", not the other way around.

Not to mention the fact the anyone who dares to criticize the first muslim potus will immediately be branded a racist and bigot, closet members of the KKK.

Yawn, like I have not been called those before and will be again?

Funny thing about those who fling such accusations; Allen West and Herman Cain are BLACK. When I point this out to my accusers they are rendered defenseless. That is when they start yelling at me and end the conversation.

I am such a bigot I can barely stand to look in the mirror, heh!
