Generally, this transcript contains discussions on the role of promoting the Palestinian cause in the United States and detailing the Palestinian cause, including the importance of land in the overall Islamic cause.
Philly Meeting 4 begins with Akram discussing the groups cause which he describes as "complete rights in the entire land of Palestine." He exchanges ideas with Omar Ahmad and then recommends publishing articles by representative of the Islamic Movement in U.S. papers, explaining that there is a need in gaining the media's interest in "the cause." Also as part of this media plan, Akram pushes the need to "discredit [Yasser] Arafat in the eyes of the Palestinian people and in the eyes of the American people."
Shukri Abu Baker adds that there is a need for a diversity of people becoming interested in the Palestinian cause. He said, "there is a need for "non-Palestinians spearheading Palestinian activism in order to make a convincing case." After this there is some bickering about the issue of Palestinian land and it's importance. One unidentified man upsets many by saying, "so the issue then is not an issue of land. The issue is where the call reaches."
After this Omar Ahmad and Nihad begin a discussion about the "future of Islamic activism for Palestine in North America." At this point Omar goes into a long speech. Within this speech he first proposes two goals of "widening the Muslims' circle of influence and reducing the Jews' circle of influence." Ahmad then explains the need for influence as a community in order to accomplish goals within the U.S. This, according to Ahmad, includes creating organizations with meda, research, political, public relations, money, and law departments. In depth, Ahmad then discusses six goals for Islamic Activism for Palestine.
Ahmad discusses the importance of education in the United States, but laments that "the majority of the people who go to work for the U.S. government graduate from these universities from under professors who are under very strong Jewish influence." He then quotes Maher Hathout on how the Palestinians themselves should partake in a political role, if at all, in the conflict.
Omar ends the discussion on influence America, by emphasizing the need for influence on America's lawmakers. Ahmad says "if Muslims engage in political activism in America and started to be concerned with Congress and public relations, we will have an entry point to use them to pressure Congress and the decision makers in America."
