Call for Muslim 'Civil Rights' Group to Lose Tax-Exempt Status as Critics Claim Islamic Terror Ties

In a letter to IRS commissioner Billy Long, Sen. Tom Cotton says the Council of American Islamic Relations or CAIR does not deserve its 501(c)(3) tax exempt status because of what he called "longstanding evidence" connecting it to terrorism.

One of CAIR's biggest critics, Muslim terrorism expert Robert Spencer, said, "Finally. This is something that should have been done many years ago. This is an organization that very much needs to be exposed, investigated and shut down."

Founded in 1994 as a Muslim advocacy firm, CAIR's ties to terrorism have been investigated for decades.
