Stop prejudiced audits of Muslim charities

The CRA’s Prejudiced Audits
Today, the ICLMG released a new report detailing how a secretive division within the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is targeting Muslim charities in Canada for audits, and even revocation, amounting to an approach that is both prejudiced and lacks substantiation.
The findings are included in the report, The CRA’s Prejudiced Audits: Counter-Terrorism and the Targeting of Muslim Charities in Canada. It reveals how, as Canada ramped up attempts to counter terrorist financing after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the United States, the CRA and its Charities Directorate were enlisted to monitor the work of Muslim charities in Canada under the unsupported premise that they pose the greatest terror financing risk.
This work has been carried out largely in secret, with little to no outside review or public substantiation of the so-called risk posed by Muslim charities, allowing for the profiling and targeting of Muslim charities to go largely unnoticed and unchallenged.
