The Muslim Brotherhood, a "social front" for militant jihadis around the world, and CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, have been designated as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations by the state of Texas.

CAIR actually had been named as an unindicted co-conspirator with the Holy Land Foundation years ago when that group was convicted of funneling millions to the terrorists of Hamas.

According to an announcement from Gov. Greg Abbott, "Whereas, CAIR was named an 'unindicted co-conspirator' in one of the largest successful prosecutions of terrorism financing in United States history, where internal documents plainly identified CAIR as a subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood and a federal court eventually found 'ample evidence to establish' that CAIR was associated 'with Hamas,' United States v. Holy Land Found. for Relief & Dev., No. 3:04-cv-240, 2009 WL 10680203, at *7-8 (N.D. Tex. July 1, 2009)…"

While the Muslim Brotherhood is a "social front" for jihadis, CAIR is a lobbying group in Washington working on behalf of Islamist interests.

Now a report at Not the Bee cites Abbott's announcement that, "Today, I designated the Muslim Brotherhood and Council on American-Islamic Relations as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations."

Noora Shalah, a government affairs director for CAIR-Kentucky, once charged, "I demand jihad, I want ISIS to kill all of you."

CAIR International responded that she left her post several years earlier.

It was during the Joe Biden administration that he assigned CAIR to be part of his program to battle anti-Semitism.

Meanwhile, there have been several dozen Islamist mosques built and opened in Texas in recent years.
