Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Tuesday announced that he is designating the Muslim Brotherhood as well as the Council on American Islamic Relations (Cair) - the largest civil liberties group for American Muslims - as both foreign terrorist organisations and transnational criminal organisations.

As a result, both groups would be barred “from purchasing or acquiring land” in the state of Texas, Abbott said.

The proclamation gives the state’s attorney general leeway to sue the groups accordingly.

    there is so much of an stretch that even trump didnt claim this (though he will later).

    they only country that did was UAE which is terrorist supporter regime dictatorship.
    "CAIR called the move “shocking and bizarre”, and some international American terrorism analysts were also critical. The Washington Post wrote: “CAIR and the Muslim American Society are not alone in their shock. Diverse groups across Europe were also added to the list, leaving many observers perplexed at the scope and sheer scale of the list”

    my “most muslim countries”

    so you were incorrect for both count.

    I meant most middle eastern countries, and specifically the MB

    there are 14 muslim countries in west Asia (or as colonial English called middle east). from that 14 only 5 countries banned that group.

    so you are wrong two out of two again.

    I love how you say specially MB, as if CAIR is banned by anyone outside of UAE (and now ofc course the racist texas government.)
