  • Kifa Mustafa (former Illinois State Police chaplain tied to the US Hamas infrastructure)
  • Siraj Wahajj (US Muslim Brotherhood and unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing)

The Muslim American Society (MAS) was identified in a Hudson Institute report as a part of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood and closely tied to the Egyptian organization. The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) is a part of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood and considered to be closely tied to the Jamaat-e-Islami organization of Southeast Asia, itself allied with the Global Muslim Brotherhood. ICNA is particularly close to the MAS and the two organizations have been holding joint conferences in recent years.

As reported by we, this is not the first time that Governor Quinn has acted in support of US Brotherhood organizations:

  • In August 2011, he appointed the ISNA Secretary-General Saafa Zarzour to the newly created Muslim American Advisory Council.
