Honest Ibe or Outlaw Ibe?
Why? Because CAIR doesn't exist. More on this story, and more hot water for the unindicted co-conspirators who continue to enjoy access to and influence over willfully blind media ops and public officials. "Updated with Letter to the IRS: CAIR in violation of IRS 501c3 statute," from SANE, November 30:
One of the important discoveries emanating from the lawsuit by former CAIR clients against CAIR for fraud and racketeering is the fact that the law firm prosecuting this lawsuit (Law Offices of David Yerushalmi) discovered that CAIR's corporate charter in the District of Columbia had been revoked as of September 8, 2008. That means pursuant to DC law that the only thing CAIR can do is engage in those necessary acts to dissolve the corporation and to distribute its assets (and to defend itself in litigation for fraud and racketeering).But it also means per the IRS code, that CAIR is no longer a valid 501c3 tax exempt organization because it is no longer a valid organization (see here).
Here is what we know from the attached pdf files (go to this entry's unique web page to download):
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, Inc. was legally formed on September 15, 1994.
On June 15, 2007, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Inc. changed its name to the Council on American-Islamic Relations Action Network, Inc. (Our research indicates that this was done when CAIR sought to convert from a 501c4 lobby group to a 501c3 "non-lobby" group. See, e.g., the most recent available 990 of the organization for the year 2006, also attached above [here].)
In any event, on September 8, 2008, the Council on American-Islamic Relations Action Network, Inc.'s corporate certificate and articles of incorporation were revoked by the DC Corporations Division for failure to make the necessary filings.
The same fate befell CAIR Foundation, Inc., which was originally created to be the 501c3-arm of CAIR.
That corporation (CAIR Foundation, Inc.) was created February 15, 2005.
Corporate status revoked September 8, 2008.
We understand from very reliable sources (see attached letter from David Yerushalmi to IRS [here]) that this information has been forwarded to the D.C. office of the IRS. We await word on any investigation and final disposition.
By the by, every act by CAIR that is not one toward dissolution is a misdemeanor in the District of Columbia (D.C. Code § 29-301.87). That means its 14th Annual Dinner was illegal; it means its website is illegal; it means that anyone who contributes money after September 8, 2008 thinking CAIR is a legitimate 501c3 organization has been defrauded (truth be told, the fraud began long ago but it is now quite patently a fraud).

Will Hooper do well in prison?

This would have never happened under Sharia law.

Can it really be? The end of the line for CAIR?

I guess that the only sad thing about this is that (and maybe I shouldn't even post this) the dhimmi British government would probably receive them with open arms if they decided to flee the US and set up shop there.
But I still hope that the American authorities will get them behind bars before they can catch a plane to continue their jihad in a country that will do whatever it can to help them (or, at the very least, do absolutely nothing to stop them.)

How much do you want to bet that Abdullah Mikhail wasn't writing them every day, asking them if they were obeying the law to the letter? Nah. He just did that to law-abiding citizens serving the common good, like a good Mohammedan.

From the the lawsuit by former CAIR clients against CAIR for fraud and racketeering link:
When the Muslim Brotherhood-Hamas stealth jihad organizations are under attack by law enforcement or suffer a conviction, the main players who don't go to jail or get deported simply migrate to other organizations or create new ones sounding even more leftist and dripping with "civil rights", "human rights", and "religious tolerance" --themselves weapons of Jihad in the destruction of the West. The purpose of these successor organizations, however, is no less jihad, simply more stealth.This is hilarious. They care nothing about human rights, civil or otherwise. And they REALLY need to work on that religious tolerance thing.
How about tolerating OTHER religions besides islam?
It'll never happen.

From above: This is hilarious. They care nothing about human rights, civil or otherwise. And they REALLY need to work on that religious tolerance thing.
I agree, but they use these fine sounding phrases, to hide behind while launching sneak attacks.
'...human rights, civil or otherwise'.
Be wary when Mohammadans talk about those...

Well, they may not exist, but that doesn't prevent them from providing "diversity training" to the Columbus, Ohio police department:

I wonder what other official functions this defunct group is serving?
I really hope CAIR is fully exposed and put down. Too many well-meaning idiots have turned to CAIR over the years, assuming they are nothing but a "civil rights" group for Muslims.

And their reputations are forever besmirched, their legitimacy completely undermined, and their ethics debatable at best.

If they don't exist as a company why doesn't someone go get their domain name/names from the internet?
Wouldn't they be up for grabs if they are not an 'authenic' entity anymore?

For how long have we had the chance and (resumably) the legal talent to tackle this situation? Certainly since before the 80's.
Considering the rarity of white mice, I'd suggest one's hourly rate is worth more than that of a lawyer.
We have become a nation, even a culture - considering the West - that has become afraid of 'ourselves'. We've become slaves to the 'Emily Post' school of Philosophiocal Constipation (PC), and as a result we have people who put their feet on our furniture and eat and run (without so much as a thank-you note).
So well, presented in your "Stealth Jihad" we have had earlier warnings. We can track back to Steve Emerson, John Loftus and the "X College Seminars" at Tufts.
Why I make the comparison of white mice to lawyers is the fact that all kinds of proceedings, from gathering evidence to presentations, have been exercises in moot courts of law schools and legal bodies. I receive all kinds of offers from the "Post 9/11 Industry" for programs in how to write proposals for government contracts or even resume building (a couple of days for $300; a week for $1250, etc.).
Yet to be witnessed are programs for forensic accounting, RICO usage, school curricula vetting...
And yet we have regiments of apologists; "Dougie" Hooper, John Esposito, Grover Norquist and "K Street" (not the name of a rap-group - but, now that I think about it.. - ..) who do everything to disarm us.
Doesn't seem hard to pull the sheep's own wool over the same sheep's eyes.

seeing the face of this traitor makes me physically sick

I'd like to think that uncovering the fraud started with HLF and that CAIR is only number two in a long list of incompetent entities that don't deserve sympathy and will be exposed. Mayhaps someone in the government is getting the message!

What does it mean?
High penalty taxes from the IRS?
How much?
