Texas Governor Abbott Designates Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as Terrorist Organizations

Governor Greg Abbott has officially designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist organizations in Texas. This declaration is accompanied by a ban on members of these groups from owning land in the state. The decision has sparked significant controversy, with CAIR announcing plans to pursue legal action against the designation, which they call an act of bigotry. Supporters of the designation, including state officials, argue that these groups pose a threat to public safety and national security. The move adds to the ongoing debate surrounding anti-Sharia legislation and the treatment of Muslim organizations in the U.S.
