Excerpt:
An Islamic orphans' fund was stripped of charity status as auditors comb the accounts of Australia's peak Muslim group.
The Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission (ACNC) has booted the Islamic Development Organisation, known as I-DO, off its official register so it can no longer claim tax breaks.
The ACNC will also audit the powerful Australian Federation of Islamic Councils (AFIC) — which controls six Muslim schools and administers the lucrative halal certification scheme for Islam-approved food.
