Oh! Or does “Good cause” only apply to CAIR and other Terrorist related organisations!?

It’s a fact. They can’t give to non-muslims unless it’s a kind of bribe to get the “infidel” to convert.
Taken another way, this story is good news.
Gee, what a shame that it’s so hard to give money to Hamas and Hezbollah now.
