Not Many People CAIR...

...for CAIR.

Membership in the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has declined more than 90 percent since the 2001 terrorist attacks, Audrey Hudson will report in Tuesday's editions of The Washington Times.

According to tax documents obtained by The Times, the number of reported members spiraled down from more than 29,000 in 2000 to less than 1,700 in 2006, a loss of membership that caused the Muslim rights group's annual income from dues to drop from $732,765 in 2000, when yearly dues cost $25, to $58,750 last year, when the group charged $35.

Being named an unindicted co-conspirator by the Justice department doesn't help.

Critics of the organization say they are not surprised membership is sagging, and that a recent decision by the Justice Department to name CAIR as "unindicted co-conspirators" in a federal case against another foundation charged with providing funds to a terrorist group could discourage new members.

M. Zuhdi Jasser, director of the American-Islamic Forum for Democracy, says the sharp decline in membership calls into question whether the organization speaks for 7 million American Muslims, as the group has claimed.

"This is the untold story in the myth that CAIR represents the American Muslim population. They only represent their membership and donors," Mr. Jasser said.

I can't speak for your local media. but the policy of the local Tampa Bay media is to kiss CAIR tush. Every time some Islamoterrorist plot is uncovered, soon to follow will be a puff piece on the local CAIR director.

This article also says that CAIR is being propped up by the donations of three dozen individuals. Anyone curious about who they are?

These people are dirty. Go ahead and sue me.
