Dr. Abdel-Moniem El-Ganayni is a nuclear physicist who was employed by Bettis Atomic Power Labority between 1990 and 2008. In 2007 Dr. El-Ganayni's security clearance was suspended due to his political statements and religious commitment. In 2008, his security clearance was revoked without a hearing as required by DOE regulations. Dr. El-Ganayni has resided in the United States for almost 30 years, and helped to establish one of the area's largest Muslim institutions, the Islamic Center of Pittsburgh.

This petition is requesting the following:

1) That Dr. El-Ganayni's constitutional right to a fair hearing be granted, and that the details surrounding his security clearance's suspension be disclosed to him, his lawyers, or at minimum to an impartial, and non-political hearing officer.

2) That government law enforcement agencies reexamine their relationship with the Muslim community (and the American people at large), focusing on criminal deterrence, not political, social, or religious agendas. This includes, but is not limited to the infiltration (physically and otherwise) of places of worship for politically charged and/or ideological purposes.
