Texas Gov. Abbott declares Muslim civil rights group CAIR a ‘terrorist’ organization

In his Tuesday declaration, Abbott vowed to go after the Washington-based group, accusing them of having direct ties with Hamas and vowing to have the state attorney general “sue to shut them down” in Texas. “The actions taken by the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR to support terrorism across the globe and subvert our laws through violence, intimidation, and harassment are unacceptable,” he added. Neither group is listed as a terrorist group by the federal government, with the Muslim Brotherhood disavowing any previous violence linked to the group, which now provides hospitals and schools in the Arab world, according to the Council on Foreign Relations.
