Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott has just designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist organizations and transnational criminal organizations.
The move authorizes heightened enforcement against both organizations and their affiliates and prohibits them from purchasing or acquiring land in the state of Texas.
In a Tuesday press release, Abbott said “the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR have long made their goals clear: to forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam’s ‘mastership of the world.’”
“This bans them from buying or acquiring land in Texas and authorizes the Attorney General to sue to shut them down,” Abbott further declared on social media.
Today, I designated the Muslim Brotherhood and Council on American-Islamic Relations as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations.

LifeSiteNews reports: The Council of American Islamic Affairs, also known as CAIR, is the largest Muslim advocacy group in the country, with more than 30 chapters across the U.S. Founded in 1994 and based in Washington, D.C., it routinely partners with liberal organizations to promote left-wing initiatives. The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt in the 1920s. It is an international organization associated with Sunni Islam. Neither group has been included in the U.S. State Department’s official list of terrorist groups, though evidence links them to Hamas.
On Wednesday, CAIR issued a threat to Abbott on social media, stating “we’ll see you in court very soon.” To which Abbott replied, “That’s great. The lawsuits will open the doors to all of their financial transactions and funding. To all of their dealings and misdeeds. The Attorney General will have a heyday.”
CAIR responded to Abbott’s decision by accusing him of doing the bidding of Jewish interest groups in order to stoke hatred against Muslims. CAIR singled out the influence of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), though provided no specifics.
Abbott has not been silent about his support for Israel. In April, he denounced a resolution introduced by the City of San Marcos calling for tax dollars to be spent on the needs of Americans instead of on Israel’s “genocide in Palestine.”
