Islamic Association for Palestine

Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP), and alternately as the American Muslim Society (AMS) and American Middle Eastern League for Palestine (AMEL), was an American not-for profit organization. Established in 1981, the IAP described itself as "a not-for-profit, public-awareness, educational, political, social, and civic, national grassroots organization dedicated to advancing a just, comprehensive, and eternal solution to the cause of Palestine and suffrages of the Palestinians." IAP founders included later Hamas politburo leader Mousa Abu Marzook.
