The website of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), part of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood, announced that it is also engaging in Muslim-Catholic Dialog. According to the announcement :
A new round of the Mid-Atlantic Muslim Catholic Dialogue, April 23-24, in Washington, looked at interreligious education in the United States.The meeting, which was convened by the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) and Catholic representatives of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, explored teaching about different religions in private and public institutions. Discussion was guided by the experiences of the Institute on Religion and Civic Values, represented by Shabbir Mansuri and Munir Shaikh. The discussion follows upon a meeting in 2007 where Safaa Zarzour described the development of a Muslim-Catholic educational exchange by the Council of Islamic Societies of Greater Chicago and the Archdiocese of Chicago.
ICNA is also a less well-known part of the Muslim Brotherhood network in the U.S., generally thought to be closely tied to the Jamaat-e-Islami organization of Southeast Asia, itself known to be allied with the Muslim Brotherhood. ICNA has a particularly close relationship with the Muslim American Society and the two organizations have been holding joint conferences in recent years. Numerous posts have discussed the ongoing dialog between the global Muslim Brotherhood and the Catholic Church.
