CAIR Appealing to IRS After Tax-Exempt Status Revoked

The largest Muslim advocacy group in the country plans to appeal to the IRS to regain its tax-exempt status after that status was revoked over an apparent problem with its paperwork.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, as well as the offshoot CAIR Foundation, was included earlier this month on a massive list of 275,000 organizations that the IRS said were losing their tax-exempt status because they did not file required annual reports....

CAIR and the thousands of other groups were cited after the IRS claimed they failed to file annual reports for three consecutive years as required by law....

CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper told FoxNews.com that the organization's accountant says CAIR "filed promptly in the last several years." But he said the status problem stems from "questions" over filings dating back to 2006 or 2007.

"We'll be doing whatever's necessary ... to rectify the situation," Hooper said....
Must have been an evil, devious Kenyan/Muslim/socialist trick by the Obama administration to throw true patriots off the scent.

(CAIR's tax-exempt status was reinstated, but the reinstatement took more than a year. None of the conservative groups at the center of the current IRS revelations ever had their tax-exempt status revoked.)
