Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) took another step to protect Floridians by officially declaring the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organizations.
DeSantis shared Executive Order 25-244, noting, “EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY Florida is designating the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist organizations.”
“Florida agencies are hereby directed to undertake all lawful measures to prevent unlawful activities by these organizations, including denying privileges or resources to anyone providing material support.”
DeSantis also noted, “Members of the FL Legislature are crafting legislation to stop the creep of sharia law, and I hope that they codify these protections for Floridians against CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood in their legislation.”
The Gateway Pundit reported that in November, Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) designated the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations.
The move bans the organizations from buying or acquiring land in Texas and authorizes the Attorney General to sue to shut them down.
Governor Abbott noted, “The Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR have long made their goals clear: to forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam’s ‘mastership of the world.’”
