FINALLY! US Senator calls for CAIR’s tax-exempt status to be revoked because of its well-documented ties to Islamic terror groups
August 29, 2025 by BareNakedIslam
In a letter to IRS Commissioner Billy Long, Senator 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.
CBNOne of CAIR’s biggest critics, Muslim terrorism expert Robert Spencer, said, “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. The U.S. Government listed CAIR as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2008 conviction of the Holy Land Foundation for providing Hamas with millions of dollars.
Designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates, CAIR called Cotton’s demands “baseless” and politically motivated. The organization described his claims as “debunked conspiracy theories” that recall the McCarthy era. In June 2025, a Florida congressman separately introduced a bill to have CAIR designated as a foreign terrorist organization.
