Behavior like that just might have something to do with how they lost their status. In fact, people might even think they're acting like they have something to hide.
Nah, only Islamophobes put two and two together and get something other than "5." "CAIR stonewalls after IRS revokes status," from World Net Daily, July 2 (thanks to Kenneth):
In the wake of loss of its tax-exempt status, the Council on American-Islamic Relations is refusing to comply with IRS rules requiring public disclosure of its annual tax disclosure forms.
Two news agencies that asked for the forms were brushed off.
The IRS states a tax-exempt organization must make available "for public inspection and copying" its exemption application and its annual return, including Form 990.
The nonprofit-organization monitor GuideStar, which provides online access to the annual returns of nonprofits, states under its listing for CAIR's national organization that the Muslim group's "exempt status was automatically revoked by the IRS for failure to file a Form 990, 990-EZ, 990-N, or 990-PF for 3 consecutive years."
"Further investigation and due diligence are warranted," the GuideStar notice about CAIR says.
The Tennessean newspaper's Washington bureau reporter asked for the documentation Tuesday at CAIR's Washington, D.C., office three blocks from the U.S. Capitol.
The reporter was told she should come back the next day, because CAIR's executive director, Nihad Awad, was in a meeting.
The newspaper did not send its reporter to follow up, explaining it was clear that CAIR did not have the documents.
The D.C.-based Web newssite Politico also tried unsuccessfully to see the annual returns.
Politico said a CAIR attorney initially said the organization's appearance on the IRS list referred to a defunct arm of the organization, insisting CAIR and the CAIR Foundation were unaffected.
The GuideStar listing for CAIR Foundation Inc., however, states that the group's tax exempt status has been revoked, and the section that lists annual returns is blank.
WND reported in January 2010 that CAIR's national office had failed to file financial records since 2007 as required by federal law.
CAIR told Politico the IRS was to blame but could not produce the Form 990 disclosure forms for 2007 through 2010 when requested.
"We are looking into all of these issues and are working with the IRS to clear things up," CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper told Politico. "CAIR was clearly not targeted or singled [sic] in any way by the IRS."
The IRS revocation of CAIR's non-profit status prompted Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., to ask the IRS to investigate whether CAIR has "illegally received or solicited funds from foreign governments or agents."
Wolf said in a letter to IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman that he wants to resolve the question of whether foreign and potentially hostile governments have funded CAIR.
The move by the IRS followed an expose published by WND Books that revealed the violations by CAIR, triggering a federal investigation and audit.
CAIR, which was named an unindicted co-conspirator in a major terror-funding case, has filed a lawsuit to stop dissemination of internal papers that document its ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and international jihad.
Many of the papers were cited in "Muslim Mafia."
The book recounts how FBI wiretap evidence from the terror-finance case showed CAIR Executive Director Awad was at an October 1993 meeting of Hamas leaders and activists in Philadelphia that gave birth to CAIR as an organization designed to give a "media twinkle" to the Muslim leaders' agenda of supporting violent jihad abroad while slowly institutionalizing Islamic law at home.
Numerous CAIR leaders have been prosecuted for terrorism or shown to be connected....
Congressperson Keith Ellison, D-MN, should intervene and slap the inquisitors off of CAIR's back.

A rock was put on a slave's chest. When Abu Bakr complained, they said, "You are the one who corrupted him, so save him from his plight." I will do so," said Abu. "I have a black slave, tougher and stronger than Bilal, who is a heathen. I will exchange him." The transaction was carried out.
Why should Rep Keith, the Minnesota Moslem politician with the corner on alligator tears, do this? Cuz, like the Hoop, Keith is also a_Afro-American convert to the world's fastest growing religion. So he could open his floodgates and have some reel impact.
If CAIR thinks ignoring the IRS will make them go away, they are mistaken. And I doubt if Keith Ellison will try to run interference on their behalf, since trying this could be construed as interfering with IRS business. But let him try. It would provide a chance to get two birds with one stone.
Remember, it was the IRS that finally got Capone . . . I think that CAIR has made a big mistake. Here's hoping they pay for it big time.
Yeah, it would be nice to see at least a few of the Saudi millions flowing into the Treasury.
Tax deadbeats. Not a very proper and patriotic bunch, they.
It's a rare day when I find myself cheering for the IRS, the closest thing in America to the Gestapo as my father often observed, but I'm fully ready to do so here because CAIR is far more villainous, far more a cancer in the body politic, far more a symbol of pure malevolency, than the IRS ever has been.
What ever happened to CAIRAN Council on American Islamic Relations Action Network?
CAIR isn't that the Council of Aggressive Islamic Retaliation?
Uh, oh. Tax evasion is serious biz with IRS. That's how they got Al Capone.
Ta ta, and close the door on the way out, thank you.
And yet, the MSM *still* treats CAIR like a respectable "civil rights" organization...
Why would anyone be surprised by this? The truth has no place in islam.
My personal experience with members of the "faith" has not been good. I have found its followers to be singularly adept at lying, cheating and blaming others for their own failures. Above all my dealings with them have been sorry affairs and I have found that I simply cannot believe a single word they say.
The koran does deal with the infidel in a similar way so this should really be no surprise.
There is simply no internal moral code among the believers and lying is simply an expectation of faith especially in respect of their dealings with the infidel.
I cannot think of a single positive thing to say about this ideology and hope the rest of the world starts to wake up to its evil, hatred and violence - it is nothing more and nothing less than naziism in a religious garb.
Next is to nail CAIR-canada and then investigate Dr.Sheema Khan for her role in a Tax-free lawfare case to mislead a Judge about Islamophobia, and that she aided in a $400'000'000.00 Lawfare suit and a CAIR-Hosted dinner for the Arar's to donate money to the same Univerty Of Ottawa that supplied the withnesses to abet the Lawfare suit.
They Demaned $400 million, and one day before the turth came out they took $10.4 million.
Imagine Suing someone for $400.00 and thwen before the Court trial you settle for $10.40 .
I smell a Tax fraud scam to get un-taxed money within canada to by-pass the Banking rules for Terrorism funds coming in and going out. CAIR has the nerve to fund a Human-Rights grants in Law Schools but does squat about the honour killing in canada under Shariah law.
The same Shariah law that Dr.Sheema Khan is on record for her Crusades with Muhammad Elmasry to make canada a Caliphate run by Shariah. CAIR hosted the Muslimfest during the Lebanon terrorism by Hezballah , CAIR coaches Muslim to donate the zakat to support the freedom fighters repelling the agressors and invaders. CAIR offered a workshop for Muskim Youth to teach them about their duty to do dawa and jihad in canada to make it an Islamic State taken over for Allah's cause.
Khan jumped ship from CAIR right after the 2007 evidence linking her group to Hamas funding and global Terrorism, she now pushing her book about how she LOVES canada and opposes Shariah Law or approved of Hamas.
Con-Job Khan should be the next to answer to the CRA in canada because she collected a salary from a Charity but then used the job for Political gains as a propaganda wing of hamas and Whahhabi islamist.
Khan has yet to deonuce the hamas murdering of gays in public in gaza, she will NOT deonouce Moe the Pedophile, and she STILL cons the mSM as the Moderate voice of Islam.
Check Muslim charities anywhere in the West and you'll find that almost all of them are simply fronts for channeling money to jihad organizations.
RICO.
I don't know who is making the decisions or advising CAIR, but messing with the IRS is a strategy virtually guaranteed to produce institutional and individual destruction.
Stay the course,CAIR. Full speed ahead.
"My personal experience with members of the "faith" has not been good. I have found its followers to be singularly adept at lying, cheating and blaming others for their own failures."
Actually, my experience with Muslims where I work has been pretty good. They are honest and hard-working.
Anyway, we don't need to base our policies on individual experiences, which may or may not be a good overall guide. The fact is, we see in reports of Muslim enclaves and Muslim countries that we are better off holding the number of Muslims in our society to what it is right now.
I guess what is disturbing is that the IRS took so long to de-list CAIR, which hasn't turned in the required disclosure forms in years. Tax-free status for organizations is subject to rampant abuse anyway. We should just hope that political influence doesn't weaken the IRS resolve at this point. The more Muslims we allow to immigrate into the US, the more political pressure that can be brought to bear on government agencies which are expected to enforce our laws and protect our communities.
And yet, the MSM *still* treats CAIR like a respectable "civil rights" organization...
Graven, do you mean respectable civil rights organizations like Jesse Jackson's Rainbow PUSH Coalition (extortion), ACORN (voter fraud) and the Southern Poverty Law Center (fraud)?
But maybe you talking about the churches run by news entertainer Rev. Al Sharpton (fraud) or the Rev. Jeremiah Wright (treason, racism).

There are so many respectable civil rights organizations out there, and the deeper you dig into them, you will see more roaches and silverfish crawl up your arms.

No doubt, APF—there's a *lot* of hucksterism and bs involved with "civil rights".
All I meant to imply is that most Americans strongly believe in fairness and equality—and there is enough of a respectable history there that CAIR *and* many other groups can ride on the coattails of this and falsely gain a certain status that they do not deserve.
But as bad as travesties like affirmative action and blanket illegal amnesties are, they absolutely pale before the kind of Muslim supremacy that CAIR stands for.
