Almost immediately after Gov. DeSantis released his executive order, CAIR officials threatened to sue the state. DeSantis responded saying the state is “is ready, willing, and able to be fighting” the lawsuit, especially because in such a lawsuit, CAIR would be forced to undergo the discovery process, where state attorneys and investigators will pour through ALL of CAIR’s records, communications, and dealings.

In 1994, the Muslim Brotherhood created a “Hamas Support Network” in the United States to secretly build support and funding for Palestinian terror campaigns in the Middle East.

By 2020, the core organization of that network had the written endorsement of 122 sitting members of Congress — including three presidential candidates and two congressional “media darlings” — and since the October 7 massacre, it’s only gotten worse!

It’s time to kick the Muslim Brotherhood’s “Hamas Support Network” out of America.

It’s called Taqiyya — the Islamic tactic of lies, deceit, and full-blown disinformation campaigns, specifically prescribed in the Quran and by generations of Islamic clerics as the preferred means of gaining the upper hand over an enemy.

A trove of intelligence documents released as part of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) suit revealed that not only is Taqiyya alive and well in the U.S., but also in 1994, the Muslim Brotherhood decided to utilize this tactic to dupe an unsuspecting American public (and, apparently, over 100 members of Congress) by setting up a seemingly blameless “charity” organization to carry out this scheme.

The result of that project is none other than the Council of American-Islamic Relations, aka CAIR.  By December 2020, a shocking 122 sitting U.S. members of Congress wrote formal letters of endorsement supporting the Muslim Brotherhood’s official Hamas-supporting, US-based taqiyya machine.

No more Taqiyya — Tell Congress to label CAIR for what it is — a Foreign Terrorist Organization!

CAIR was named an “unindicted co-conspirator’ in the 2001 World Trade Center attack and was outed for funding Hamas in the Holy Land Foundation scheme. Unfortunately, the administration in power at the time chose not to label CAIR as a terror organization because Section 8 US Code 1189 only allows foreign organizations to be labeled as such.

However, with the release of the FOIA documents proving that CAIR takes its orders directly from Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, and because President Trump has diligently scrubbed the FBI, CIA, and DOJ of radical Muslim apologists, it is time for President Trump and Congress to formally label CAIR for exactly what it is — a foreign terrorist organization.
