Family Security Matters » Publications » U.S. Muslim Brotherhood Announces Expanded ‘Coalition’: "More Muslim and civil liberties organizations, activists and academics have signed on to a statement by the American Muslim Taskforce on Civil Rights and Elections (AMT), a coalition of major national Islamic organizations, saying that it is considering suspending outreach relations with the FBI over recent incidents in which American mosques and Muslim groups have been targeted. The new signatories include the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California (ISCSC), the National Lawyers Guild, the Colorado Muslim Council, and the Muslim Consultative Network. The ISCSC represents dozens of Southern California mosques and Muslim organizations. Academics who have signed the AMT statement include Profs. Ali Mazrui, John Esposito, Charles Butterworth, and M. Cherif Bassiouni.”Trust is a cornerstone of human society and is the basis of all relationships. I urge President Obama to preserve it for the good of America and all people,” said Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, Chairman of the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California. To date, 44 organizations and many community activists and scholars have endorsed AMT’s statement."
