Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) announced that he has designated the Muslim Brotherhood and Council on American-Islamic Relations (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.
“The Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR have long made their goals clear: to forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam’s ‘mastership of the world,’” said Governor Abbott.
“The actions taken by the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR to support terrorism across the globe and subvert our laws through violence, intimidation, and harassment are unacceptable.”
“Today, I designated the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as foreign terrorist organizations and transnational criminal organizations. These radical extremists are not welcome in our state and are now prohibited from acquiring any real property interest in Texas.”
The Gateway Pundit reported on the crossroads facing the Lone Star State with an exploding Muslim population. The state’s Muslim population has risen 25% in a decade to 350,000–400,000, with projections placing Islam as America’s second-largest faith by 2040. Prison conversions bolster this: 9–18% of inmates identify as Muslim, comprising 80% of all religious shifts behind bars.
There have also been concerns over the construction of EPIC City, a planned Islamic “mega-city” outside Dallas.
The East Plano Islamic Center, via its affiliate Community Capitol Partners, is seeking to construct a 1,000-home settlement around 40 minutes from Dallas.
The so-called “Sharia City” would come complete with a mosque, Muslim schools, community college, and sporting facilities while serving as a reminder of Islam’s growing influence across America and the Western world.
In October, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton uncovered alleged “illegal activities” by the developers.
“I’ve uncovered illegal activities by EPIC City developers and requested a referral from the State Securities Board to file a lawsuit,” Ken Paxton said.
“After a thorough investigation, it has become clear that the developers behind EPIC City flagrantly and undeniably violated the law,” he said.
“Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the identification of evidence that entities connected to the East Plano Islamic Center (“EPIC”) land development project violated federal and state securities laws and regulations. Attorney General Paxton has formally requested that the Texas State Securities Board (“TSSB”) immediately review the findings and refer the matter back to the Office of the Attorney General in order to file a lawsuit against those who broke the law,” Paxton’s office said.
