Texas Governor Calls for CAIR Loss of Non-Profit Status Over Alleged Radicalization Ties
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is calling for the state's attorney general to revoke the non-profit status of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), citing unspecified reasons in a letter to the attorney general.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has called on the state's attorney general to strip the Council on American-Islamic Relations of its non-profit status, alleging that the organization is infiltrated by Islamist activists and poses a threat to national security. The move comes after a series of controversies surrounding CAIR's ties to foreign governments and allegations of anti-Semitic activities. Abbott's request is the latest in a long-running feud between Texas and CAIR over issues related to Islamic extremism and national security. If successful, the loss of non-profit status would significantly impact CAIR's ability to operate as an advocacy group.
