• Vice-president of the International Institute for Islamic Thought
• Associated with seven organizations connected to terrorist financing

Jamal Barzinji sits on the Board of Directors of the Center for the Study of Islam & Democracy (CSID). He is also Vice President of the International Institute for Islamic Thought in Herndon, Virginia. Two days after the 9/11 attacks, Barzinji stated, "I don't think you will find any Muslim scholar who will condone this kind of thing. This is totally against Islam and Muslim teachings." Yet Barzinji was involved with seven organizations that were raided by federal agents in connection with terrorist financing: the now-defunct SAAR Foundation; Amana Trust; the International Institute of Islamic Thought; Mar-Jac Investments; Mena Investments; Reston Investments; and SAFA Trust. The seven are part of what has come to be known as "The Wahhabi Lobby."

Barzinji was also a Board member of the Graduate School if Islamic and Social Sciences and has functioned as a representative of the World Assembly of Muslim Youth. He has also served as a trustee and officer of the Amana Mutual Funds Trust, a growth and income mutual fund headquartered in Bellingham, Washington.
