Contact:  Kevin Barrett;  Lou Stolzenberg

MUJCA-NET was founded by Dr. Kevin Barrett of Madison, Wisconsin, a scholar of Islam and literature, and Imam Faiz Khan M.D. of New York City, a 9/11 first responder who teaches at Long Island Jewish Hospital.  Both have been appalled by 9/11 and the ever-increasing violence it has brought us, and both are particularly unhappy with the silence of their fellow Muslims on 9/11 truth. Their Open Letter to Our Brothers and Sisters in the Abrahamic Tradition expresses their views on 9/11 truth and the reasons an interfaith effort like MUJCA-NET is so necessary.

The other endorsers of MUJCA-NET do not necessarily agree with all of the co-founders’ positions. (Indeed, the co-founders themselves do not hold precisely identical views on everything.) But all of us at MUJCA-NET recognize that the gaping holes in the official 9/11 story mandate a new and genuine investigation aimed specifically at either confirming or refuting allegations of official complicity.

Co-Founders' Biographies

Here are brief biographies of MUJCA-NET co-founders Kevin Barrett and Faiz Khan:

Dr. Kevin Barrett, co-founder of the Muslim-Christian-Jewish Alliance for 9/11 Truth, has taught English, French, Arabic, American Civilization, Humanities, African Literature, Folklore, and Islam at colleges and universities in the San Francisco Bay area, Paris, and Madison, Wisconsin. He is the author of Truth Jihad: My Epic Struggle Against the 9/11 Big Lie and the editor of 9/11 and American Empire: Christians, Jews and Muslims Speak Out. 

Barrett grew up in a family of lapsed Unitarians (which is about as lapsed as it gets) and reverted to Islam in 1993, a move that gradually impressed upon him the gravity of the moral choices we make in this life. Barrett’s dissertation is on Islam and Moroccan legend. He is also the author and illustrator of the cult classic A Guide to Mysterious San Francisco, published under the pseudonym of “Dr. Weirde.” (He begs Allah’s forgiveness for that slightly twisted book.) Barrett became a 9/11 truth activist in 2004 after reading David Griffin’s The New Pearl Harbor and conducting follow-up research that convinced him Griffin had accurately summarized evidence indicating 9/11 was an inside job. 

In July 2004 he rashly rejected a plum post-doc at the University of California because it was funded by the 9/11-disinformation-sponsoring CIA-linked Ford Foundation. In the summer of 2006, Republican state legislators and Fox newscasters demanded that Barrett be fired from his job teaching an introductory Islam class at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, but the University refused to buckle, and Barrett got high marks from his students. Turned down for a tenure-track job at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, and later other teaching jobs, due to his political opinions, Barrett plans to continue fighting for academic freedom until he and other truth-seeking scholars are vindicated. He has appeared in several documentary films, lectures widely on 9/11  and hosts three radio programs on three different patriot networks, as well as a daily news show on Pacifica Radio. 

Dr. Faiz Khan is a Muslim scholar and educator as well as an M.D. with a dual specialty in emergency and internal medicine. He has been living and working in New York City since 1969. A 9/11 first responder, he has been in the forefront of post-9/11 peace and education efforts in New York and elsewhere.  He is well-known as a staunchly outspoken opponent of terror in all its guises, and has participated in two memorial services for the victims of 9/11, as well as the New York group Muslims Against Terrorism. Dr. Khan is the author of “9/11: An Islamic Perspective” published by Belief Net in their selection of essays on religion and 9/11. An Assistant Imam at two New York area mosques, Dr. Kahn has treated subjects related to Islam, politics, and 9/11 at numerous speaking engagements and publications. He also served as assistant producer to the film Becoming Muslim – Submitting to Allah in America. Dr. Khan writes of his extensive educational efforts post-9/11: “Among my goals has been to clearly demonstrate that the recurrent cycles of violence witnessed of late havenothing to do with authentic practice of any religion; rather, it is lack thereof which is combined with various geopolitical, social and economic/corporate agendas which serve as root causes that often hide in the guise of religion or just as often, if not more frequently, political ideology – a trend which only superficial or irresponsible analyses fail to elucidate.”

Lou Stolzenberg:  MUJCA Coordinator as of January 1, 2008   

After 27 years as a physical therapist, Lou views herself as a helper, healer, and connector. She thinks that challenging people's beliefs on 9/11 requires care and compassion but compassion may come in different forms such as understanding, listening, respectful confrontation, patience, persistence, more patience and persistence, humor and providing context to understand how much deception is in our midst.  As a Christian, Lou recalls that Jesus hated injustice and hypocrisy and preached an anti-imperialist gospel. She believes that we are not alone in this struggle for justice. 

As a United Methodist from Madison, Wisconsin, Lou is active in her local church.  She currently chairs the Church and Society Group and has recently travelled to El Salvador for a Church—Habitat for Humanity project. Her interfaith experience stems from being raised as a Roman Catholic, learning about other faiths through meditation techniques, short-term studies and reading different religious publications and books. It appears to her that all religions have some common values of faith, love, respect for others, justice, forgiveness, and gratitude which in essence seem to be compassion.

Lou became aware of the 9/11 inconsistencies in September of 2006 and met Kevin Barrett through some local Madison activities and in the course of publicizing an interfaith 9/11 film/discussion series. To recharge her batteries after 9/11 work, Lou enjoys tennis, bicycling, dancing and cross-country skiing.

Here is information on some of MUJCA-NET’s most prominent endorsers (new endorsers please send a brief biography if you want to be mentioned here or correct anything we've said about you):

Dr. David Griffin, one of America’s notable theologians, teaches ethics and theology at Claremont School of Theology in California. The author of more than twenty books on philosophy, theology and related topics, and a pioneer of process theology, Dr. Griffin brought the 9/11 Truth Movement into the mainstream with his publication of The New Pearl Harbor in 2004 and The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions in 2005. Listen to a December 2004 hour-long Flashpoints (Pacifica) interview with Dr. Griffin.

Catherine Austin Fitts  served as Assistant Secretary of Housing in the Bush I administration. She is a Christian whose religiously-inspired ideals led her into a dangerous battle with criminal syndicates manipulating big-city housing markets. In recent years, she has been an eloquent voice for 9/11 truth. Her letter to Condoleeza Rice, written after Rice’s ludicrous testimony to the Kean-Zelikow Commission, was one of the most powerful 9/11 truth statements of 2004.

Israel Shamir, Russian-Israeli intellectual, writer, translator and journalist, is one of Israel’s leading peace activists. The decendent of a rabbi from Palestine, and an IDF veteran of the 1973 war, Shamir changed languages and traded in his literary-intellectual hat to become an activist in response to the terrible events of 2001. Here is his explanation:  A Jewish folk tale relates the story of a mute child who had never said a word despite all the efforts of the doctors. Then one day, at the ripe age of ten, he dropped his spoon and cried out, "The soup is too salty!" His parents asked him in amazement why he had kept silent for years, and the child replied, "Until now, everything was all right".
