They’re not even hiding that this is straight up Islamaphobia.

Being able to declare a group a terrorist organization at the state level just plainly doesn’t make sense. How could a group be a terrorist organization in Texas but not be a terrorist organization in Oklahoma (or California)?

So he’s going to investigate all the right-wing Christian churches, right?

CAIR is a tad problematic though. For the record, I think Abbot’s move is unfair but CAIR needs to walk a few things back and commit to some reforms.

I don’t care if you’re a Neo Nazi; you’re not a terrorist until you actually commit or plan acts of terrorism. You can say Hamas is great, 10/7 was justified and that the Holocaust didn’t happen and that is 100% legal and protected speech. Without the freedom to have bad ideas you don’t have the freedom to have good ideas.

The same CAIR whose [Executive Director said he was “happy to see the people of Gaza break the siege on October 7”](https://xcancel.com/MEMRIReports/status/1732712958281629864)?
