Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has declared that the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) will be classified as foreign terrorist organizations. This decision aligns with a previous designation made by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who also labeled CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations. Such classifications raise concerns regarding the implications for civil liberties and the potential for increased scrutiny and discrimination against Muslim communities in the United States. This development is part of a broader trend in certain states to address perceived threats through stringent measures, which may impact social equity and community relations.
