| 2004-10-15 |
| A federal court Friday sentenced a Muslim activist to the maximum 23 years for breaking financial sanctions on Libya and lying in tax and immigration forms. Abdurahman Alamoudi, an Eritrean-born naturalized U.S. citizen, was sentenced to 276 months by Judge Claude M. Hilton in Alexandria district court. On July 30, 2004, Alamoudi pleaded guilty to violating the law prohibiting unlicensed travel to and commerce with Libya, making false statements on his application for naturalization and concealing his financial transactions with Libya and foreign bank accounts from the IRS. As part of his plea agreement, the Justice Department said, Alamoudi agreed to cooperate in an ongoing investigation into an alleged Libyan plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Abdullah. Alamoudi became a naturalized citizen in 1996. He is the founder and former executive director of the American Muslim Council (AMC), the founder of the American Muslim Foundation (AMF), and was an influential member of other Islamic political and charitable organizations, and was invited to the White House in 2 |

| #2 invited to the White House in 2000. that would be the Clinton White House. When Abdurahman Alamoudi, friend and sometime adviser on Islamic affairs to Hillary Rodham Clinton, stood before a Muslim crowd in Lafayette Park across from the White House this week and passionately declared his support for the terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah, he was revealing the true face of "moderate" Islam. He was also revealing the blindness, or rather the willful complicity, of America's political elites, particularly the Clintons, who have welcomed these Islamic "moderates" into our midst and helped raise them to important positions of influence in American life. link |
