Alam’s strong Islamic movement and standing for Muslim American’s dignity, rights, value and solidarity, Alam is always a advocate and vocal for Muslim American Community and denied muslims connection with 9/11 attack. As Alam believed that those who were involved with 9/11 were not a good practicing muslims and Muslim Americans should not be responsible for those 19 attackers. As Alam always speaks to the point and stands for the Muslim Americans, the Fox news, the Washington Free Beacon and the Right wing media always after him. Here, the Washington Free Beacon Titled him as “#Secretary_of_Truth” on 7/12/2012 (http://freebeacon.com/politics/secretary-of-truth/).

Alam and his organization planned to host a Muslim March at the Nation’s Capital on 9/11/13. This is how some right wings bloggers and Media portrayed and attacked Alam and AMPAC.

Here is a separate link how many media attacked Alam as simple as he stood for Muslim Americans (http://www.debbieschlussel.com/51492/md-rabbi-alam-muslim-pro-life-democrat-candidate-says-jews-behind-911-defends-florida-islamic-jihad-terrorist-video/).

This is how Huffington Post described about Alam’s Mulsim March on 9/11/13: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/11/million-muslim-march_n_3906303.html. It was more became fearful and the Right Wing Fox news media and propaganda spreaded the fear of the march.
