IRS Plays Favorites With Terror-Tied, Democrat-backed CAIR (rubberstamps "Islamic" groups)
IBD ^ | 06/15/2013

Misfeasance: While the IRS was hassling any nonprofit group with the word "patriot" in its name, it was rubberstamping exemptions for "Islamic" groups, even organizations that violate disclosure laws.

Worse, it was even finding favor with nonprofits tied to terrorism — namely, the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, which not coincidentally is yoked to the Democratic Party.

Despite being blackballed by the FBI, which still suspects it's fronting for Hamas, and despite failing to file annual tax reports as required by federal law, CAIR apparently has found friends in high places at the nation's powerful taxing authority.

Last year, in the middle of the national election season, the IRS quietly agreed to reinstate CAIR's tax-exempt status, allowing it to resume raising tax-free donations just in time for Ramadan, a key time for Muslim charitable giving.

According to the Religion News Service, the IRS in June 2012 sent CAIR's national office a letter stating the nonprofit had regained its exemption after losing it the previous year. Several GOP lawmakers had asked for an audit of CAIR after a book exposing its internal operations, "Muslim Mafia," reported the Islamist outfit had skipped filing IRS Form 990s for at least three years in a row.

This was concerning since the same book revealed the bulk of CAIR's funding comes from foreign donors, including Islamic states hostile to the U.S.

Why the sudden IRS reversal? Did CAIR make good on its delinquencies? That's still a mystery.

The Religion News article, which was carried by the Washington Post, quoted CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper gloating about the reversal, yet curiously not knowing "the details of what paperwork, including tax returns, had been filed" to resolve the issue.

COMPARE WHAT CAIR HAS BEEN DOING TO TEA PARTY APPLICANTS:

By law, the nonprofit group must make copies of its tax returns available to the public. Several news outlets, including Politico.com and USA Today, have asked for copies of CAIR’s missing 2007-10 returns, and CAIR has been unable to produce them.

Curiouser still, CAIR’s latest tax return is only a partial filing — covering the period from Aug. 9, 2011, to Dec. 31, 2011.

Go figure....

Here’s another CURIOUS FACTOID similar to the IRS Commisioner’s 157 visits to the White House (more than Eric Holder and the HHS Secretary ):

it turns out CAIR’s also found favor in the White House. Administration officials in 2012 met inside the White House with CAIR officials, according to Secret Service visitors logs.

In the months leading up to the IRS decision, in fact, the Obama administration held “hundreds” of closed-door meetings with CAIR — including many in the White House, according to an article in the Daily Caller posted in early June 2012 — the same month the IRS reversed its decision.

WHY? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW.

What would the IRS do with a group called Islamic patriots or Arabian Tea Party?

If that’s the case, then it’s pretty obvious where the orders came from.

This is getting to be like some sort of alternate universe. A different dose of fresh hell every day, imagine if the media and the alleged opposition party would do something courageous and patriotic like their JOBS.

This is TREASON. The IRS has no right to protect,
suppport, and fund al Qaeda and their agents in their
attacks on the American people.

If you really examine the ties and evidence it leaves no doubt that CAIR is tied to terrorist organizations that are enemies of the state. That the IRS has given CAIR special treatment and allowed them to regain their exempt status to collect donations to send overseas to their terrorist allies to find terrotist activities is treason. Many of their members are believed to have ties with the current administration. If you were to examine 0’s campaign donations in detail you will probably find plenty of donations from CAIR donors. I’ll repeat it again. There is no other way to view this other than treason of the highest magnitude.

In today’s satiric dialogue of con-man Barry and Reggie Love, Obummer talks about reading the Bible: “Hey my love Reggie, you won’t believe what happened last Sunday. I pulled out my prayer rug and chanted, ‘Allah grant me the wisdom to defeat the Christian infidel teach me how to better understand thine enemy.” Then out of nowhere Moochelle walks in and nagging because I forgot to attend our last marriage counseling session with Rev. Jeremiah Wright. She’s angry and throws the Bible at me. You know I aint into that Biblical stuff. I mean that’s for the squares. But I felt Allah whispering into my ear. He said look down and read. The Bible was opened and I could see this passage: “things during the end times will be chaotic. a time of confusion and uncertainty will cause the people to desperately look for a strong leader that could bring hope and security in a time of fear and apprehesion. People will desperately seek a strong, charismatic, authoritative leader who can pull the world back from the very brink of disaster. These people will get their wish as a powerful charismatic leader spouting peace and unity comes on the scene. but he will turn out to be much more than they bargained for. He will be a dictator whose cruelty will be more than any other the world has ever known. This man will be the Anti-Christ as he will rule the entire world and receive its worship.” Man Reggie this Anti-Christ sounds like something I should aspire to. Whoever wrote this stuff should be hired as my teleprompter writer. Reggie can you dig it?”

It’s obvious based on the way Hassan is treated that 0bama is driving policy based on “My Muslim Faith”.

No but I’ll definitely check them out. I know from my own personal experience on working fraud cases that there are many terrorist connections to certain ethnic chamber of commerce groups, student organizations, and community organizations that are tied into terrorist cells overseas. I come across them occasionally and report them to contacts I
know. Nowadays you have to be careful reporting them or YOU will be branded as a terrorist. These are crazy times.
