American Muslims Abandon CAIR
The Hamas front group Council on American-Islamic Relations has managed to get itself into the news quite frequently as a sort of terrorists' ACLU, exploiting our moonbatty legal system to obstruct the war on terror. For example, it filed suit on behalf of the Flying Imams, in an attempt to intimidate normal Americans into keeping our mouths shut when we witness suspicious activity that might be related to the terrorism with which CAIR is intimately linked.
But Fred Thompson has managed to find some good news about CAIR:
CAIR's dues-paying membership has shrunk 90 percent since 9/11 — from 29,000 in 2000 to only 1,700 last year. CAIR's annual income from dues plunged from $733,000 to $59,000. Clearly, America's Muslims are not supporting this group — and I'm happy to hear about it.
But CAIR has been spending about $3 million a year and expanding new chapters all over the country, despite the absence of dues-paying members and indigenous support.
Where does the money come from? The primary source is apparently the same people who fund that madrasahs that have been spreading Wahhabism and churning out terrorists all over the world: our friends the Saudis.
On a tip from Bergbikr.

It seems that the way Saudis fund the construction of madrassas and mosques, and probably CAIR too, is to deposit funds in the accounts of successful Muslim businessmen and professionals (developers, doctors, artists, etc.) in a target area. These folks then make the contributions. At CAIR's annual Fund-raiser banquet here in Orange County CA last November, guests were invited to purchase "shares" in CAIR , starting at the fifty share level ($1,000/share). There were no takers at that level, but at the 35 share level and on down there were takers. CAIR claimed to have raised $430,000 at this event which was attended by 1,800 people. One wonders where the money to purchase the shares was really coming from.
