Far right Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his cabinet have voted to designate the U.S.’s leading Muslim civil rights group as a “domestic terrorist organization,” threatening to shutter and impose severe penalties on the group and its state affiliate simply to serve the GOP’s political crusades, critics said.

The 427-page document recommending “terrorist” designations for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and its Florida chapter was approved over the course of just 30 seconds at DeSantis’s cabinet meeting on Tuesday, according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

Contained within the approved packet, submitted by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, were also recommendations for “antifa” and dozens of other groups already named as foreign terrorist organizations by the federal government to be listed as “terrorist” groups.

    Okay, at this point I'm going to need the Right to come out with a list of who ISN'T a terrorist, because at this point I feel like I can safely assume that everyone to the left of the Klan is a terrorist.

    All religious groups are a terrorist group to some extent. I’m all for it. Now add some crazy Christian nationalists so it does not seem like your picking sides, oh that will never happen. Oh well. Religion sucks. Happy to see any religion get some power taken away.

    I knew it was CAIR before even reading the title. Terrorist is too far, but they are a bit outspoken, for sure.
