end up having to similarly address concerns amongst some Sunni Muslim community leaders.
Another problematic Muslim group with which Elibiary acknowledges havingclose ties is the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America. He states that he “spent a weekwith dozens of very senior Salafi scholars” from the group discussing Islamic jurisprudence. The Clarion Project has shown that AMJA is an extremist organization by almost any definition.49 Its fatwas call for the gradual establishment of Sharia Law in America using deception; marital rape; jihad against Israel and ban Muslims from joining the FBI or serving the US military in a combat capacity.
As mentioned in Part 1, Elibiary’s organization gave a pro-Islamist presentation atan AMJA conference in 2007 that compared the Muslim Brotherhood to EvangelicalChristian groups.
In this interview, Elibiary elaborates on his role in bringing a senior Salafi cleric “to give the first Friday Muslim congregational prayer literally inside the Texas StateCapitol.” It is unclear if this Salafi cleric was from AMJA.
