- Simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be cleanly removed or the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. (See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing.)

- It is always a good idea, if rewriting, to identify the point where the copyrighted content was imported to Wikipedia and to check to make sure that the contributor did not add content imported from other sources. When closing investigations, clerks and administrators may find other copyright problems than the one identified. If this material is in the proposed rewrite and cannot be easily removed, the rewrite may not be usable.

| Muslim Arab Youth Association |
| Formation |
1970s by Muslim Students Association members; incorporated in 1989 |
| Headquarters |
Plainfield, Indiana |
| Remarks |
Identified by federal prosecutors as part of the Muslim Brotherhood in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation terrorism trial.[1] |
The Muslim Arab Youth Association (MAYA) was created in the 1970s by religious Muslim Students Association (MSA) members who had recently arrived in the US and Canada from Arab countries in the Persian Gulf; it finally incorporated in 1989, in Plainfield, Indiana. It had the avowed purpose of setting up Muslim youth conferences to discuss issues such as Islamic law, culture, and marriage and their implications for their lives.[2][3][4] MAYA is funded by Saudi Arabia.[5][6]
Maya constitution
The preface to MAYA's constitution states: "In the heart of America, in the depths of corruption and ruin and moral deprivation, an elite of Muslim youth is holding fast to the teachings of Allah."[7]
History
MAYA has held conferences featuring Hamas leaders who called for the destruction of Israel, and printed and has distributed anti-Semitic material (such as a pamphlet entitled America's Greatest Enemy: The Jew!).[8][9] Similarly, it held conventions featuring as speakers Rashid Gannuchi (leader of the militant Tunisian Al Nahda movement, who was sentenced to death in absentia for his role in terrorist attacks), Mustafa Mash'shur (Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood Deputy Supreme Guide), Muharram al-Arifi (Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood), Yousef al-Quardawi (Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood), Musa Abu Marzuk (top Hamas leader), Assaf al-Qattan (Hamas), Sheik Ahmed Noufal (Hamas), and Ibrahim Gousha (Hamas).[10][11][12][13]
In December 1994, about 5,000 people at an annual MAYA meeting were interrupted midway through the meeting by an announcement from the a speaker that a Palestinian had bombed a Jerusalem bus, killing himself and wounding 12 Israelis. "Allah Akhbar," roared the crowd, offering spontaneous praise.[14][15]
The foundation denied it had ties to Hamas, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) disagreed. An internal memo revealed in 2001 said at a MAYA conference at a Los Angeles hotel in the mid-1990s, Sheik Muhammed Siyam, head of operations for the Hamas military wing, gave a keynote address. "Finish off the Israelis. Kill them all. Exterminate them. No peace ever," Siyam told the crowd.[16][17]
Writing in 1997, Judith Miller identified MAYA as an unofficial umbrella group for Islamic militants in America and various arms of the Muslim Brotherhood.[18] Similarly, at a hearing before the Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims in the US Congress on "Terrorist Threats to the United States," on January 26, 2000, in a prepared statement Steven Emerson, Executive Director of Terrorism Newswire, said that MAYA is an Islamic group "that supports the positions of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas in the United States".[19]
After 9/11 the US government placed MAYA on its list of organizations to be investigated because they purportedly "finance terrorism or perpetuate violence".[20] Federal prosecutors identified MAYA as part of the Muslim Brotherhood in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation terrorism trial.[1]
