national," said James Zogby, presi-
dent of the Arab American Institute.
"People are feeling very good
about what the community is able to
do," he said in an interview.
American Muslim groups are
indeed acquiring "political muscle
and legitimacy,' said Steven Emerson,
a specialist on terrorism.
But Emerson said he believes the
movement is led by groups that are
largely "fundamentalist and pro-terror-
ist." More moderate Arab Americans,
such as Zogby, have been aligning
themselves with these, he said.
The Burger King issue "is not a
100 percent clear-cut moral issue,"
Emerson said, but it does reflect the
growing clout of American Muslim
groups in terms of their influence
over corporations, their influence over
the Arab world and their influence
over the media."
In addition to 46 outlets in Israel,
Burger King has restaurants in several
countries with Arab and Muslim
majorities, including Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait, United Arab Emirates and
Malaysia.
Abraham Foxman, national direc-
tor of the Anti-Defamation League,
said that because Burger King's deci-
sion comes after the Arab League's
talk of a boycott, it represents a "sub-
mission to the boycott."
Companies have cited "commercial
reasons" for not doing business with
Israel for 50 years, Foxman said —
that is, during the Arab boycott of
Israel. 1-1

orth America's umbrella fund-
raising and social service orga-
nization is proposing a sharp change
in how it decides which overseas
projects it will expect all local feder-
ations to support.
The United Jewish Communities
also indicated it would move two of
its important offices outside of its
home in New York, making
Jerusalem and Washington the cen-
ters for overseas concerns and for
domestic services and policy, respec-
tively.
Decisions about how funds raised
in the federation system — $790
million this year — will be allocated
