From the Washington Examiner: Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on Tuesday asked the Internal Revenue Service to investigate the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a tax-exempt Muslim advocacy nonprofit group, over its ties to terrorist organizations such as Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
“CAIR purports to be a civil rights organization dedicated to protecting the rights of American Muslims,” Cotton wrote in a letter to IRS Commissioner Billy Long. “But substantial evidence confirms CAIR has deep ties to terrorist organizations.”
The senator notes CAIR was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee, which was revealed in the long-running Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing case. CAIR was listed as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in that case.
The Muslim group was also found to have participated in a meeting with Hamas supporters in Philadelphia, the lawmaker says.
