If we can forget the webfraud3 for a while... CAIR is not listed on the charitable roster at cnn.com ... while AID India is. AID India is all volunteer and the money given goes 100% to the people devastated in India.

Note article below. Who is financing those Tamil Tigers anyway?


Area Residents Send Aid to Quake Victims

Tuesday December 28, 2004 7:25am


People across the D.C. area are reaching out to help the victims of the deadly Indian Ocean tsunamis.

The head of the Council on American-Islamic Relations office in Maryland, Rizwan Mowlana, has set up a warehouse for relief supplies in his garage.

Mowlana lost at least 30 relatives in Sri Lanka the disaster. He tells The Washington Post he worked through his grief to organize the relief effort because dozens of friends wanted to help.

Members of the area's Sri Lankan, Thai, Indian and Indonesian communities are throwing themselves into relief efforts.

The Sri Lanka Association of Washington D.C. has sent $3,000 to an agency coordinating assistance in Sri Lanka. The group is hoping to raise as much as $25,000.

The Indonesian Community Association has decided to turn its New Year's Eve party at the Fortune restaurant in Falls Church into a fund-raising event.

The Association for India's Development has raised more than $44,000. Volunteers in the College Park office made signs and fliers to raise awareness about the dire need.

"I don't trust any politicians there at the moment," said Mowlana, who is also executive director of the Maryland and Virginia office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "And I don't know how we're going to get relief to the northeast," which is controlled by a rebel, separatist group, the Tamil Tigers.
