Welcome to the home page of
Student Alliance for Imam Jamil (SAIJ)
Who are We?
SAIJ was established in November 2000 by a host of student leaders from all
over the US, who had gathered in Atlanta specifically for this purpose. The
primary goal of the alliance is to bring forth the truth about the personality
and character of Imam Jamil and to mobilize support for a free and fair trial.
Who is Imam Jamil?
In the late 1960’s, he was known as H. Rap Brown, Chairman of
the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Minister of Justice
of the Black Panther Party, and on the FBI’s most-wanted list. Today, he
is Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, a devoted Muslim dedicated to the
principles of the Holy Qur’an and the tradition of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH),
and the Imam (spiritual leader) of an international Muslim community
centered in Atlanta, Georgia.

In the clutches of an Unforgiving System
Imam Jamil Al-Amin, formerly H. Rap Brown, was a prominent leader of the
Civil Rights movement of the 1960s and 70s. The establishment called that
movement National Democratic Revolution. In reality, it was war. H. Rap Brown
was a hero of that war, when he and others helped the oppressed of the society
to gain considerable rights. Unfortunately, for some that war has not ended and
this same hero (Brown, now Imam Jamil) is now a victim of that ongoing war.
He accepted Islam in 1971. In 1976, he came to Atlanta, GA and was instrumental
in bringing Islam to the West End thereby ridding that area of drugs,
prostitution and other vices and establishing a strong Muslim community there.
This same brother, whose services to Islam and humanity are well noted, has been wrongfully accused of murdering
one police deputy and wounding another. He has been incarcerated in prison since
the time those shootings took place (March 2000). His trial is yet to begin!
