The Boston Pheonix reported in 2003:
On October 28, 2000 at an anti-Israel protest in DC Alamoudi said:
"'I have been labeled by the media in New York as being a supporter of Hamas. Anybody supporters of Hamas here?' The crowd cheered. 'Hear that, Bill Clinton? We are all supporters of Hamas ... I wish they added that I am also a supporter of Hezbollah.'"
. . . The Protestant Norquist is a founding director of the Islamic Institute, a socially conservative Muslim think tank that eschews international issues in favor of domestic issues such as tax cuts and faith-based initiatives. In addition, Norquist’s lobbying firm, Janus-Merritt Strategies LLC, was officially registered as a lobbyist for the Islamic Institute as well as for Abdurahman Alamoudi, the founder and former executive director of the American Muslim Council."

"Alamoudi acknowledges having obtained money from the Libyan government and other foreign sources, "unlawfully, knowingly, and willfully falsified, concealed and covered up by a trick, scheme and device." He transmitted these funds to the United States, 'outside of the knowledge of the United States government and without attracting the attention of law enforcement and regulatory authorities.'
In doing so, he engaged in illegal financial transactions and filed false tax returns. He lied about his overseas travels, his interest in a Swiss bank account, his affiliation with a Specially Designated Terrorist (the Hamas leader, Mousa Abu Marzook), and his membership in terrorist-related organizations.
Of particular note are admissions by Alamoudi that he:
Was summoned by Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi to two meetings and as a result of these Alamoudi helped organize the assassination of Saudi crown prince Abdullah. (The plot was foiled.)"
http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3824Note there that he was involved in a Lybian plot to assassinate then Crown Prince Abdullah. At the time the US was negotiating with Moammar Kadhafi to giove up his small amount of nuke technology in order to get in there and get his oil. (Also, while all this was going on, Kadhafi was continue to arm Liberian dictator Charles Taylor.)
That Grover Norquist has some dirty hands.
"For his crimes, Alamoudi's punishment can include serving up to 23 years in prison, forfeiting US$ 1¼ million received from the Libyans, paying six year's worth of back taxes plus penalties, and having his U.S. citizenship revoked. Alamoudi could also be removed from the country and not allowed back in. (But the agreement defers decision on Alamoudi's expulsion until after his prison term ends, suggesting that he is singing like a bird.)"
