Agha Saeed
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr. Agha Saeed is chairman of the American Muslim Alliance and a lecturer in the Program in Asian Studies at California State University, East Bay. He studied at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and received his Ph.D. in rhetoric from UC Berkeley. In 2000, controversial remarks by Saeed in support of the Palestinian people led Hillary Clinton to refund $50,000 in campaign donations from American Muslim Alliance members.
