American Islamic Forum for Democracy is right-wing lobby group, founded in 2003 by M. Zuhdi Jasser, which claims to battle "Islamo-facsism" and to be "a leading voice for liberty-minded Muslims in America in the war on terror."[1]
In his critique of CAIR, M. Zuhdi Jasser, a former U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander, writes:
- We need to create organizations — high-profile, well-funded national organizations and think tanks — which are not afraid to identify al Qaeda, Hamas, and Hezbollah by name, and by their mission as the enemies of America.
The conflation of al Qaeda, Hamas and Hezbollah is interesting, as two of them have nothing to do with the United States; their adversary is only Israel.
Dubious Endorsements
The lobby group has the endorsement of notorious Islamophobe Daniel Pipes.[2]
