American Muslim Council

The American Muslim Council (AMC) is an Islamic organization and registered charity in the United States. Its headquarters are located in Chicago, Illinois.

The AMC was founded in 1990 by Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi with support of the Muslim Brotherhood.cite news|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A12823-2004Sep10.html |title= In Search Of Friends Among The Foes U.S. Hopes to Work With Diverse Group |author=John Mintz |coauthors= Douglas Farah |work= The Washington Post |page=A01 |date=2004-09-11 |accessdate=2007-02-13] (Al-Amoudi is also the former leader of the Islamic Society of Boston.) Its goal was to serve for political and civil rights of all Americans.

The AMC later reorganized itself under a new name and moved its National headquarter from Washington, D.C. to Chicago. The organization currently using the name "The American Muslim Council" is different than the AMC founded by al-Amoudi; it is much more moderate.
