(RAIR Foundation)—From May 24 to 26, 2025, the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) and the Muslim American Society (MAS) hosted their 50th Annual Convention in Baltimore. This event went far beyond the scope of religious teachings or cultural celebrations.
These two organizations are not benign civic groups:
- ICNA is the American front for Jamaat-e-Islami, a radical South Asian Islamist movement that promotes Sharia governance, Islamic supremacy, and political Islam across the globe.
- Federal investigators identified MAS as the American branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, a global Islamist network with deep ideological and financial ties to groups advocating for Islamic law to replace secular systems.
Together, ICNA and MAS have spent decades embedding themselves into U.S. institutions—schools, city councils, financial systems, and nonprofit networks—under the guise of “civil rights” and “community outreach.”
At this year’s convention, you’ll see them openly boast about:
- Managing $8 billion in Sharia-compliant funds
- Building Islamic housing enclaves across America
- Flipping public school boards
- Pushing “Muslim Appreciation Day” laws
- Saturating the country with Qur’an distribution campaigns
- And mobilizing a political strategy rooted in the Islamic doctrine of Hijrah—migration as a means of conquest.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
