EMGAGE

Some of the board mem­bers of Emgage USA have links to US Mus­lim Broth­er­hood orga­ni­za­tions. For exam­ple, Co-Chair­man Khur­rum Wahid was at one time a legal advi­sor to CAIR as well as an offi­cer of the CAIR-Flori­da branch while AJ Duran­ni is asso­ci­at­ed with a sub­sidiary of the Islam­ic Soci­ety of Greater Hous­ton, in turn with ties to the North Amer­i­can Islam­ic Trust. Dur­rani also has rela­tion­ships with the Islam­ic Soci­ety of North Amer­i­ca (ISNA) and with MPAC. That said, nei­ther indi­vid­ual appears to play a major role as a leader with the USMB struc­ture.How­ev­er, EMGAGE does engage in coali­tions with US Broth­er­hood groups. Most impor­tant­ly, EMGAGE is a for­mer mem­ber of the US Coun­cil of Mus­lim Orga­ni­za­tions (USCMO) estab­lished in 2014 by eight orga­ni­za­tions, sev­en of which are part of the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood in the US.
