(Coral Springs, FL) Americans Against Hate (AAH), the terrorist watchdog group, is calling on the United States government to shut down the offices and freeze the assets of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) for its role in the financing of Hamas. As well, AAH is calling on the U.S. government to place the Muslim Brotherhood of Pakistan, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), on the State Department list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) for the same.
In August of 2006, just nine short months ago, JI announced on its website that it had presented, via its charity Al-Khidmat Foundation (AKF), a check for $99 thousand (six million rupees) to the head of Hamas, Khaled Mashaal. Mashaal thanked JI and stated that Hamas would continue to wage Jihad (war) against Israel.
ICNA was founded in 1971 as the American arm of JI. On AKF’s website, ICNA is listed as the charity’s two top donors, ICNA Relief USA and ICNA Relief Canada. Another of the listed donors is ICNA’s charity, Helping Hand.
AAH Chairman Joe Kaufman stated, “We have incontrovertible evidence that ICNA is part of JI and that JI is funding Hamas through a charity that ICNA is the top donor for. Given this proof, there is no reason whatsoever for the future existence of ICNA. In addition, given JI’s financing of Hamas and given JI’s communiqués with the leader of Hamas, there are clear grounds for the placement of JI on the State Department list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations. We call on the United States government to take immediate action, with respect to both of these organizations.”
To learn more about JI’s and ICNA’s financing of Hamas, read Kaufman’s FrontPage Magazine piece, ‘Helping Hand to Hamas.’

I have found evidence that the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) is financing Hamas. Hamas is on the State Department list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations. In August of 2006, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) announced on its website (http://www.jamaat.org/news/2006/aug/17/1001.html) that it had presented, via its charity Al-Khidmat Foundation (AKF), a check for $99 thousand to the head of Hamas. The Al-Khidmat Foundation’s website indicates that the ICNA (”ICNA - Relief USA”) is one of its donors (http://www.al-khidmatfoundation.org/index.php?id=73). I ask that you investigate the ICNA promptly and thoroughly.

Islamists Attempt to Quash Free Speech that Unmasks their Radical Agenda
On October 14, 2007 Joe Kaufman, a chairman of American Against Hate, organized a protest against the Islamic Circle of North America. ICNA has well documented ties to Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood and should really be called the ISLAMIST Circle of North America, especially, since it openly advocates for establishment of Sharia in the United States.
During the protest, Mr. Kaufman was served with temporary restraining order filed by Islamic Society of Arlington, Al Hedayah Islamic Center, Dar Elsalam Islamic Center, DFW Islamic Educational Center, Inc., Islamic Association of Tarrant County, Islamic Center of Irving, and Muslim American Society of Dallas.
The TRO restraints Joe Kaufman from the following:
- Threatening Plaintiffs in person, by telephone, or in writing to take unlawful action against any person, intending by this action to annoy or alarm Plaintiffs.
- Intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causing bodily injury to Plaintiffs or Plaintiffs’ associates or members.
- Threatening Plaintiffs or Plaintiffs’ associates or members with imminent bodily injury.
- Inciting violence against Plaintiffs, their members or associates.
The Plaintiffs claim that Mr. Kaufman “operates a website … that tries to foment hate and anger against law abiding United States citizens who practice their religion (Islam) freely as guaranteed by the United States Constitution. … He wishes to stir up anger, resentment, bias, and hatred of peaceful, law abiding citizens, solely because of their religion. To this end, Defendant Kaufman organizes protests of all things Islamic, attempting to paint them in one broad swath as being allied with Hamas, Al Qaeda, and terrorists. … To this end, Defendant has painted the Plaintiffs as terrorists.”
Several members of Muslims Against Sharia went through multiple statements posted on Mr. Kaufman’s website, www.AmericansAgainstHate.org. We have not found a single instance of Islam-bashing or Muslim-bashing that the Plaintiffs are complaining about. However, we found plenty of information that link ICNA and Muslim American Society (MAS) to Islamist groups both at home and abroad.
This is a despicable act of American Islamist establishment (which IS associated with terrorists) to quash any attempt to unmask its extremist agenda.
Muslims Against Sharia call on every American Muslim to condemn Islamism in general and Plaintiffs in particular and voice their support for Mr. Kaufman.
