Perhaps if they did not keep trotting out “Jabba-the-Nut” (aka Ibrahim Hooper) as their spokeperson they would have better luck. The dude looks like he could suck a Twinkie through a garden hose.

Religion of murder affiliation aside, who would want to belong to any organization for which he was the public mouth-piece?

You can only hope SD. But the way this administration bends over for them, I am still not convinced?

These non profits likely make huge profits.

They just have an IRS pass to avoid paying taxes. Plus they can dump lots of perks into ‘expenses.’

CAIR’s budget, which reached nearly $3 million last year.”

You'd think that one good, loooooooong lawsuit would deplete this in a hurry?

Why do they get so much press?

The organization instead is relying on about two dozen individual donors a year to contribute the majority of the money

Who are they?

I guess there really are some “moderate” Muslims after all.

It would be better if they were put all in jail for their roles in supporting terrorism.

Are there 7 million American Muslims or is this a number Islamists have invented to inflate their political importance?

No, and yes the Muslims have inflated their number to increase their political importance.

The recent Pew Trust poll had the numbers at around 2.5 million, as I recall.

Tickling my memory somewhere is a vast and expensive new headquarters for them being built in Dubai? $300 million or something like that?

What angers me is that every time the Muslim population is mentioned on TV they use the 7 million figure without ever questioning whether it is true. This particular article on CAIR and many others ar trivial compared to the Islamic population lie. I think a lot of articles are made by Islamists simply to use the 7 million figure.

...when yearly dues cost $25, to $58,750 last year, when the group charged $35.

Just curious...what does someone get for their $35 in dues?

this is indicative of US (Muslim) citizens perception of the reality that we are winning the war

it will not be portrayed as such by the msm

this can be a good thing, or a very good thing

The intrepid Joe Kaufman at CAIR Watch bears the majority of credit for taking the wind out of these people's sails.

"...It's time we recognized the nature of the conflict. It's total war and we are all involved. Nobody on our side is exempted because of age, gender, or handicap. The Islamofacists have stolen childhood from the world." [FReeper Retief]

"...That the totalitarian force pitted against freedom wears a religious makes this civil war among mankind all the more difficult to engage. Loving freedom as we do, it seems reprehensible to deliberate against a religion. But this is no ordinary religion as it demands absolute obedience of all to their religion at the cost of freedom itself." [FReeper Backtothestreets]
