CAIR Not Doing So Hot

Posted by: Curt @ 7:44 am in War On Terror  | 1 views

Now this is some funny shite:

Membership in the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has declined more than 90 percent since the 2001 terrorist attacks, according to tax documents obtained by The Washington Times.
   
The number of reported members spiraled down from more than 29,000 in 2000 to fewer than 1,700 in 2006. As a result, the Muslim rights group’s annual income from dues dropped from $732,765 in 2000, when yearly dues cost $25, to $58,750 last year, when the group charged $35.
   
The organization instead is relying on about two dozen donors a year to contribute the majority of the money for CAIR’s budget, which reached nearly $3 million last year.
   
Asked about the decline, Parvez Ahmed, CAIR’s board chairman, pointed to the number of donors.
   
"We are proud that our grass-roots support in the American Muslim community has allowed CAIR to grow from having eight chapters and offices in 2001 to having 33 today," Mr. Ahmed said.

Eight chapters with 29,000 members down to 33 chapters with 1700.  Yeah, lots to be happy about there bud.

Meanwhile, pick up a favorite t-shirt of theirs:

To show your support and all.

Then money, directly or indirectly from CAIR, is the only reason any politician gives them the time of day.
