Florida classifies Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as local terrorist organizations

The European Observatory for Combating Extremism reported that Florida's government designated the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as domestic terrorist organizations on September 29.

• The observatory said the list also added more than 90 foreign terrorist organizations previously designated by the US federal government.
• Under the decision, the observatory said, listed groups lose financial support from local and state governments and scholarships for affiliated schools.
• The observatory said documented reports link CAIR to the Muslim Brotherhood's network.
• CAIR, established in 1994, says it maintains more than 25 branches across the United States.
