Texas Governor Greg Abbott has come under intense scrutiny for designating the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations. This controversial move has led to a series of lawsuits from CAIR, which claims the designation is unconstitutional and defamation. The situation escalates as the governor directs Texas Department of Public Safety to investigate these Muslim advocacy groups, further raising concerns about civil rights and anti-Muslim sentiment. Critics, including human rights organizations and political figures, have condemned Abbott’s actions as an unlawful attack on Muslim civil rights while expressing fears over the implications of labeling a prominent civil rights organization as a terrorist entity. The political landscape in Texas is heating up, with calls for investigations into alleged Sharia courts and a broader movement to ban Sharia law in the U.S.
