Operating for more than 40 years, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) provides services to the Muslim community of North America. It features an annual convention for the exchange of ideas, and works to build bridges of understanding and cooperation within the diversity that is Islam in America, ISNA is now playing a pivotal role in extending those bridges to include all people of faith within North America."[1]
Beyond North America, it participates in "projects that are often more humanitarian than theological, more global than national, and altogether more complex and nuanced. These include efforts to stop the human tragedy in Darfur, for instance, or to alleviate the plight of those hit by the Tsunami in South East Asia, or to work with state and civic structures in addressing the challenges that Muslims in the West face."
DiscoverTheNetworks states its major mission is to enforce "extremist Wahhabi theological writ in America's mosques", and was founded by by the Saudi-funded Muslim Students' Association of the U.S. and Canada (MSA),Palestinian Islamic Jihad's founding students, Sami Al-Arian.[2]
It was an unindicted co-conspirator, as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, in U.S. v. Holy Land Foundation.[3]
ISNA is an original signatory to the Amman Message [4] "which recognizes the validity of Islam’s different theological and legal schools, including Sunnism, Shiism and Sufism.”
