CAIR’s Cruel Summer By Patrick Poole

It’s been a bad summer for the Council on America-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Shrinking membership. Being named unindicted co-conspirator in a federal terror financing trial. And as I will show below, plummeting finances in recent months. Is there any good news in sight for America’s most prominent mouthpiece for Islamic extremism?

Back in February, I broke the story about CAIR’s declining membership:

An inspection of CAIR’s most recent publicly available IRS Form 990 (2004) shows for that year they received $119,029 in membership dues for that year (line 3). But at $25 per membership (the current rate is $35), that would mean that in 2004, CAIR only had 4,761 dues-paying members – less than 5,000 members out of 8 million Muslims in America. This would mean that CAIR only represents 1 out of every 1,680 Muslims. Even if a lower 6 million Muslim population figure were assumed, CAIR would still only be able to claim representation for 1 out of every 1,260 Muslims for that year.
