Muslims Fleeing CAIR in Droves

This may be the best news of the week. Audrey Hudson at The Washington Times is reporting that membership in the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has declined by more that 90% since 9/11. Apparently the Washington Times is just giving us a teaser for a lengthier article to follow in tomorrow's dead tree edition. But check this out:

According to tax documents obtained by The Times, the number of reported members spiraled down from more than 29,000 in 2000 to less than 1,700 in 2006, a loss of membership that caused the Muslim rights group's annual income from dues to drop 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 individual donors a year to contribute the majority of the money for CAIR's budget, which reached nearly $3 million last year.

CAIR only has about 1,700 dues paying member and they want you to believe that they speak for Muslim Americans? My estimation of the vast majority of Muslims that I know is that they would never have anything to do with an organization as vile as CAIR. Now I know I was right.

It kind of makes you wonder why the MSM takes CAIR seriously? Keep an eye out for tomorrow's report. Note to Professor Chaos: buy Washington Times tomorrow.

PS--So, who are these two dozen mysterious donors that keep CAIR afloat?
