Indiana AG Calls on Gov. Braun to Designate CAIR a Foreign Terrorist Organization

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is calling on Gov. Mike Braun to join other Republican governors in branding the Council on American-Islamic Relations a terrorist organization.

“It’s high time that Indiana declare CAIR a foreign terrorist organization,” Rokita told The Daily Signal in an interview Thursday. “I completely agree and I call on Gov. Braun to do that very thing.”

Gov. Greg Abbott, R-Texas, designated CAIR a foreign terrorist organization on Nov. 18, and Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., followed suit last week.

Both Abbott and DeSantis cited the history of CAIR, which bills itself as the largest Muslim civil rights organization in the U.S.

Members of the Islamic Association for Palestine, an organization affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood and created to support Hamas in the U.S., founded CAIR in 1994. Federal prosecutors named CAIR an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2008 Holy Land Foundation terror financing case, in which CAIR associates were convicted of providing material support to designated terrorist organizations.
