It's an ahh-hah moment, an unexpected bright spot in the war against the terrorists. The hateful agenda of CAIR is indeed being spearheaded by a few wealthy donors and is not co-signed by 7 million Muslim Americans as the group has falsely claimed.

Thanks to a FOIA request (for tax records) by The Washington Times and the tireless efforts of Homeland Security reporter Audrey Hudson:

CAIR membership plummets

June 11, 2007

ONLINE EXCLUSIVE / DEVELOPING:
Membership in the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has declined more than 90 percent since the 2001 terrorist attacks, Audrey Hudson will report in Tuesday's editions of The Washington Times.   

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.  

Read it all and stay tuned for more details in Tuesday's online and print editions.
