Victory against CAIR!

Hamas-linked CAIR has had the rug pulled out from under their jihadist noses.  The IRS no longer recognizes them as a non-profit and so CAIR is now not tax-exempt. 

Great news for those who know CAIR and their plans for America, bad news for supporters and useful idiots. 

Bravo IRS!  Geez, never thought I would hear myself say that.

CAIR loses IRS Status

Donations to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) no longer are tax deductible after the organization was among 275,000 tax-exempt organizations purged earlier this month by the Internal Revenue Service.



The groups failed to file required annual reports, known as form 990s, detailing their revenues and expenses, for three consecutive years. CAIR had been a non-profit on its own, but in 2007, the IRS approved a separate tax-exempt CAIR Foundation. The foundation never filed any subsequent reports. Both the foundation and CAIR national are on the purge list.


CAIR has 30 state chapters throughout the country, many of which have their own non-profit designations which remain active.


While the IRS believes most of the organizations stripped of status have shut down, those still operating can apply for reinstatement. Meanwhile, CAIR's web site continues to solicit donations by touting them as tax deductible two weeks after the IRS issued the list and notifications were sent to all 275,000 purged groups.


Donors still could deduct the money on their tax returns if CAIR is reinstated between now and April 15. All the purged organizations have 15 months to seek reinstatement. But it is unclear whether CAIR will file the required papers or whether their explanation about past reporting failures will be enough to satisfy the IRS.


"This listing should have little, if any, impact on donors who previously made deductible contributions to auto-revoked organizations because donations made prior to the publication of an organization's name on the list remain tax-deductible," an IRS statement said. "Going forward, however, organizations that are on the auto-revocation list that do not receive reinstatement are no longer eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions, and any income they receive may be taxable."


To regain its exempt status, CAIR must file the missing three annual reports, along with a new application for exempt status. Finally, it must explain why it failed to file the 990s for three consecutive years and explain any new procedures which will ensure future compliance.

The problem with tax-exempt status is it enables the government to armtwist you. No-one should have to pay the government to express their opinions.

BTW did you see that Islamophobic party leader Geert Wilders just goet acquitted in in Holland? His views are as wrong as as yours, but it's good news for free speech.
