"Greg Abbot called CAIR [the Council on American-Islamic Relations], the largest Muslim civil rights organization, a 'terrorist organization' and said Muslims are a 'threat to our freedom.' The normalization of anti-Muslim hate speech is vile,"
"This bigot should have no place in elected office,"
"mediation and non-binding arbitration firm that adheres to Islamic principles in the Muslim community"
Ilhan Omar condemns Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for labeling CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorists and for using anti-Muslim rhetoric. Abbott seeks to classify those organizations in ways he says would bar them from buying or acquiring land in Texas, a step critics note exceeds state authority and rests with the State Department. Abbott urged district attorneys and sheriffs in two counties to investigate and potentially shut down Islamic mediation groups, accusing them of operating under Sharia and acting in place of courts. One targeted group, the Islamic Tribunal, calls itself a mediation and non-binding arbitration firm adhering to Islamic principles.
