Should the Muslim-American Society keep its 501(c)(3) tax exemption?

Second, Bray says he wants to hit US Airways in the pocketbook. We encourage our readers to do exactly that to the 501(c)(3) tax-exempt Muslim American Society. According to IRS REV RULE 75-384, J. “Activities That Are Illegal Or Contrary To Public Policy,”

"(1) Substantiality Test Violation of constitutionally valid laws is inconsistent with exemption under IRC 501(c)(3). As a matter of trust law, one of the main sources of the general law of charity, planned activities that violate laws are not in furtherance of a charitable purpose.” A trust cannot be created for a purpose which is illegal. The purpose is illegal …if the trust tends to induce the commission of crime or if the accomplishment of the purpose is otherwise against public policy…."

It is a matter of record that the Muslim-American Society, as represented by Mahdi Bray himself, has planned and committed acts of civil disobedience. This is not an allegation on our part, but rather statements from the Muslim-American Society’s own Web site.

“Today, MAS [Muslim-American Society] Director Mahdi Bray says his organization wants more than an apology. He wants to ‘hit [US Airways] where it hurts, the pocketbook.’” (over the airline's decision to have six imams removed from a US Airways flight after they shouted "Allahu akbar!" prior to boarding and then behaved suspiciously once they were on board.)

The article shows how to report tax-exempt organizations to the IRS for behavior that could get their exemptions revoked. We think Mahdi Bray has qualified for the latter on more than one occasion, based on material posted at the MAS's own Web site.
