Today we officially designated the Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR and Antifa as terrorist organizations per the anti-sharia law signed earlier this year. pic.twitter.com/qIZRIFa7au

This creates an interesting situation. If these designations have any teeth, they will raise questions regarding how these organizations, particularly the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), are regarded nationwide. Will CAIR-Florida have to shut down? CAIR wields enormous influence among clueless and compromised politicians nationwide, as they court Muslim votes. Will politicians in other states think twice about appearing at Hamas-linked CAIR events since it is designated a terror organization in Florida? Or will they dismiss this as DeSantis’ political grandstanding? The latter is much more likely. Also, once DeSantis is out of office and the Democrats are back in charge, watch for them to lift these designations and turn around and designate some patriotic groups as terror organizations.
That’s not to say that DeSantis shouldn’t have done this. The question now, however, is what practical difference it will make.

Once an organization is declared to be a criminal….terrorist….organization, the members of said organization can be arrested, charged and tried for the crimes committed by the organization.
The RICO Act is applicable.
Good for Gov. DeSantis and the others who worked with him against these muzzie criminals.
“You vote: Florida designated CAIR and Muslim Brotherhood as domestic terrorist groups. Do you agree?”
“Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and his administration voted Tuesday to designate the Muslim Brotherhood, the Council on American-Islamic Relations and approximately 90 other groups as domestic terrorist groups.
A 427-page document that accompanied the vote claimed “there is substantial evidence that CAIR is engaging in terrorist activity” and accused the group of having connections to Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
The vote comes after Texas and Florida labeled the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as foreign terrorist organizations last year, which forbids both organizations and their affiliates from purchasing or acquiring land in the states and allows increased enforcement against the groups.

James Lincoln says
Finally, a piece of good news!

James, No need to celebrate. Just 2 states have done so and it’s going to be challenged legally. But I look forward to US for better world or saner world order! Most of Europe are godless fools.
Wellington says
Well, if you’re going to do this then why not just identify Islam in its entirety as a terrorist organization?
Well for a second time and here it is: Islam is a religion, averring otherwise is a route to Nowheresville legally speaking, but it is also a totalitarian ideology and a terrorist ideology (e.g., Mohammed himself stated, “I have been made victorious with terror”—Bukhari Hadith 4.52.220).
Thus can be seen that the West (and much of the rest of the world) has a major problem on its hands, to put it mildly. Mankind got a simply awful religion which is also a totalitarian belief system and is enthralled with terror in order to promote its freedom-crushing ideas. Yes, I know Islam sucks but what is the optimal way for mankind to proceed, and especially those in the West, in dealing with this vile religion/totalitarian ideology/terrorist ideology?
And remember that here in America Marxism and Nazism are wretched belief systems as well but they are legal and so even if Islam could constitutionally be denied religious status (highly unlikely) it would still be a protected belief system even though a totalitarian ideology, one which endorses terror to advance its warped goal (N.B. any person asserting that Islam does not endorse terrorism and is a religion of peace, blah, blah, blah should be dismissed as either a liar or an ignoramus—putting people like Omar and Tlaib in the first category and Bush 43 and the present pontifex maximus in the latter category).
My approach to date is to acknowledge that Islam is indeed a religion but an evil one. This would entail here in America a major asterisk to the freedom of religion clause in the First Amendment and, frankly, I’m not sure how exactly this could be done. Oh yean, the ultimate parasite belief system, i.e., Islam, hiding behind its religious veil, will push what is left of free societies to the limit in the delicate balancing act of reconciling freedom, including religious freedom, with the absolutely most perfect totalitarian ideology of all time—and the chief reason above all other reasons why I despise Islam and why any adult who is willingly a Muslim in what is left of a free Western nation is a parasite. Including so-called moderate Muslims. No exceptions here, not one.
Ah, where to go from here? That is the question and said query must be answered not only with generalized assertions that Islam is not a religion. Such is, at best, only a starting point, if even this. Much, much more is needed. Much.

Agreed, Wellington–but sadly many may not be ready for that yet. This is still a good step in the right direction.
Wellington says
I agree, gravenimage, this is a good first step but eventually if freedom and other good things like equality under the law, women not having to wear hijabs or even garbage bags, and fine beer and delicious pork products are to survive it is absolutely necessary that Islam in its entirety be called out for what it is. Not there yet. Damn important to get there soon.

Beans🫘 says
I agree and disagree.
If independent voters would see these type of policies as positives I am with you 1000 percent. It is also location dependent as well because not all conservatives and independents are the same in every area.
My concern is what if these Muslims appeal and cry to good hearted independents who don’t have the knowledge, and appeal to the youth and say look how they’re persecuting us, it will be you next…
It could be very damaging. I’m seeing signs of it in Texas…. I don’t want to lose the state on razors edge election due to this.
It’s worth the gamble though if we had a ten point lead. But one percent could wipe everything out, even that policy itself
Paxton is such a great candidate by the way. He is damn near perfect by my standards. I pray people see the light.

I damned well hope not…
Patrick White says
Oh wow. This is a critical and marvellous turning point.
This needs to go national.
It needs to go global.

DeSantis officially designates Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas-linked CAIR and Antifa as terror groups
………………………………………………………………
So glad that DeSantis has recognized CAIR as a terror group–all too often it is risibly cited as a “civil rights group”.
Billy Bones says
I think a better label for CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood would be subversive organizations. The label terrorist organizations carries with it an assumption that these organizations are known to have been involved in violent actions such as bombings. They don’t participate in the actual terrorist actions; they just act as PR [Public Relation] and propaganda assets. Their role is not destruction, it is deception. Basically, they are world-class grifters.
gravenimage says
Yes. the Muslim Brotherhood has been involved with terrorism. And CAIR often enables terrorists–but usually less directly.
rubiconcrest says
We have all been waiting for some good news. Florida has drawn a line in the sand. Hurrah for our republic. The states can take actions to show the federal government the way. It is important to get all the issues layed out in courts to at least shine the light on Islamic civilizational jihad and it’s implications from school curricula to closed Islamic communities to jihad preaching imams.
Cynthia says
DeSantis or Rubio for president! They both are fearless and truthful about Islam.
The whole country should follow suit.

I agree
would be fabulous ticket
Rick Gordon says
Bravo, bravo, bravo! The Governor is far from perfect but this is an excellent example of leadership.

abu taleb says
Then Hezbollah and Houthi are not terror groups as they are Shia groups therefore not related to Muslim Brotherhood.
He should also say Islam is a religion of terror and evil, and ban it.

I don’t think he has that much power–sadly…
The right hand of Darkness says
In Europe and Israel the MB affiliated orgenizations are really good at shutting down and re-opening under another name, you end up in an endless whack-a-mole that often goes nowhere.
JustPassingThru says
CAIR is also an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation case. CAIR should be dissolved and its members arrested as what they are terrorists.

Better late then never. But it remains to be seen if anything will happen to their membership go organization. Here’s hoping.

Hallelujah! Finally someone who has the fortitude to do what is right.

More States Need to follow this brave example from Governor DeSantis before anything can be done
