Start by checking out the Muslim-American associations.

Unfortunately, many of the Muslim-American associations are simply front groups or fundraising groups for terrorist organizations. For Exhibit A, I give you:

Council on American Muslim Relations
American Muslim Federation
American Muslim Council

All of these groups have leadership that has either refused to denounce terrorism or has funding or other ties to terrorism. CAIR is the most well-known Muslim-American association. It's also the most famous for its ties to terrorist organizations and refusal to denounce terrorism:

From a Washington Times article:
"When asked by The Washington Post in November 2001 if he would condemn Hamas and Islamic Jihad, Mr. Hooper [(the spokesman for CAIR)] responded, "It's not our job to go around denouncing." Asked by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in February 2002 to condemn Hamas and Hezbollah, Mr. Hooper called such questions a "game" and explained, "We're not in the business of condemning."

CAIR is also famous (infamous) for the "photoshopped hijab" episode: http://jihadwatch.org/archives/008110.php

Just like with muslim individuals, not ALL Muslim-American associations refuse to denounce terrorism or have ties to terrorist organizations; unfortunately, you have to search pretty hard to find these associations. Even more unfortunately, their voices are drowned out by the deafening silence from the majority of Muslim-American associations when it comes to denouncing terrorism...
