CAIR will start legal defense fund
|
An Islamic advocacy group seeks to raise $1 million for a legal defense fund to assist people alleging civil rights violations since the Sept. 11 attacks. The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations announced Saturday it was creating the fund. It wants to reach its $1 million target by the end of this year by collecting private donations nationwide. "After Sept. 11 there was a lot of backlash and abuse of human rights, and many people who needed help could not get help," said Nihad Awad, the council's executive director. "Their rights were thrown away because they didn't have money. It's our duty to provide legal services and representation to these people."
It's terrible there are those incidents against innocent Muslims in the USA. Even worse incidents never happen in Muslim countries because they're so civilized and tolerant, of course.Note how this moolah isn't going out of the US anymore. If the CAIR had kept sending support to Mideast jihadis the IRS would have pulled their tax exempt status soon. Now the mucky mucks at CAIR will still be able to pull in big salaries from charitable donations.

Posted by Fred 3/31/2002 1:45:19 PM I wouldn't be surprised to learn (some years from now) that the money CAIR collects goes to furnish an Asian cave or two. I don't think the IRS is that good at what they do.
