Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch
A US organization, the Council on American-Islamic Relations or CAIR just lost their IRS tax exempt status. They failed to file their Form 990 which reports financial contributions and the groups or people who made them. Something to hide guys?

Muslim charity CAIR scrutinized over missing IRS filings
The Council on American-Islamic Relations has earned a fierce reputation for defending Muslim civil rights.
But the Washington, D.C.,-based group's work is being threatened as it faces scrutiny for failing to file tax returns.
CAIR was among 275,000 nonprofits nationwide that the Internal Revenue Service stripped of tax-exempt status this month. None of the groups filed required tax returns, known as Form 990s, for three years, and any donations to them can be taxed, the IRS reported.
CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper said his group filed accurate, on-time returns but lost its tax-exempt status over an incorrect filing from several years ago.
But employees couldn't produce CAIR's latest Form 990 this week, and critics suggest the charity avoided filing to hide financial dealings from the public.
Like I said, makes you wonder what they are trying to hide. CAIR is one of the more vocal and more islamofascist groups out there -- they seek to bring Sharia law into our legal system. Nasty bunch of 7th century barbarians.
