Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have both declared CAIR and Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations.
This new legislation, HB 1471, is a step forward on protecting Florida from the advancing Sharia. Less than three months ago, DeSantis said that police were “working already” to treat CAIR as a terror group, and stated that he wanted to prevent money going to jihad. That should be a given and prioritized by Western leaders across the board. And that will involve the designation of other organizations as terror groups, including but by no means limited to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
“DeSantis announces CAIR Florida as a domestic terrorist group under new law,” by Mitch Perry, Florida Phoenix, July 2, 2026:
Q TAMPA — Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Wednesday that he has received a recommendation to designate the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) Florida, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Antifa as domestic terrorist organizations.
He cited authority given to state officials through legislation that had gone into effect just hours earlier.
The law (HB 1471) passed by the Legislature and signed by the governor in March, empowers the head of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to label organizations as domestic or foreign terrorist groups on evidence they meets specific criteria, including engagement in terrorist activity as defined by Florida law; is based in Florida; and poses an ongoing threat to the security of Florida or the United States.
The measure requires the head of the FDLE (now Mark Glass) to give written notice to the governor and the Cabinet of plans to declare the designation and gives the Cabinet seven days from the date of the receipt of written notice to approve or reject the designation.
Speaking during a press conference held at the Tampa Office of Statewide Prosecution less than 13 hours after the law went into effect, DeSantis said that the state has received recommendations to designate more than 90 groups as foreign terrorist organizations, including but not limited to Cartel de Sinaloa; Tren de Aragua; the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran (IRGC); Cartel del Noreste; and Cartel del Golfo…..

Islam and its various Organizations are against the US Constitution by funding, teaching, and supporting discrimination, segregation, violence, and terrorism which should disqualify them for any form of government, public funding. Islam’s Muslims are murderous, Totalitarian Terrorists of Allah operating as a Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Enterprise under Islamic Law to ultimately conquer the Non-Muslims with Islamic Law DBA Islam(Qur’an 8:60; 9:5, 29, 111; 49:15, etc.). Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…”
Islam is the deceitful, daily practice of Islamic Law by Muslims, and Allah rewards his Muslim believers, Genocidal Terrorists of Allah, with a Garden Paradise when they kill and are killed in Jihad for Allah as war against Non-Muslims using MUSLIM MONEY and with MUSLIM LIVES to make Islam, Islamic Law, supreme(Qur’an 9:5, 29, 111; 49:15, etc.). Allah in Qur’an 49:15 teaches, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” See also Qur’an 2:191; 4:89, 91; 8:60; 9:5, 29, 111; 47:4; 48:29, etc.

You mean they’re not already?
But much as I agree w/ DeSantis, I don’t think it’s up to Florida to design its own foreign policy. Let DeSantis become POTUS in 2028 (I now no longer support Vance) and then implement these policies, and more

The State government can declare these organizations terrorists because that is what they are. It falls to those people in office to protect the law-abiding citizens from those who wish to harm and murder them.
Just as LE can indict and prosecute members of organizations which violate the RICO Act, the State government has the authority to go after terrorists who threaten the citizens.
This should have been done decades ago by Washington. But too many wanted to see the bad guys…the evil side…win.

You’d better hire more security. Muslims want to dominate, and they’ll kill you to do it.

Those brutal murderous thugs in uniform , the IRGC ,are the tools of that “mullah regime ” of Iran. Therefore the United States needs to and should “finish the job.” As in get it over with and eliminate that dangerous hostile and menceing Islamic regime, once and for all. As it had been ,rightly and wisely, said “Half measures in war is madness and folly.”
