BREITBART -- Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) designating Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim brotherhood as terrorist organizations is a step to “circumvent what is happening,” Lt. Col. (Ret.) Allen West said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily.
Host Mike Slater pointed to Abbott’s decision, as the governor assessed that the organizations have made their goals clear to “forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam’s mastership of the world.”
“I really believe that this is a means by which you circumvent what is happening there with the Epic City, now The Meadow, and also, this is a way that you keep CAIR from coming in and representing some of these interests here in the state of Texas,” West said, noting the proposed name change for the plans for what was originally called the East Plano Islamic Community (EPIC).
“I mean, they have a state of Texas director, and so I think that that is what the governor is seeking to do. But without a doubt, we cannot allow them to freely operate, and we don’t want to see Texas, we don’t want to see the United States of America go to what we see in the United Kingdom, what we see in France, where you have these quote, unquote, no go zones, where you have a parallel system of jurisprudence,” West said, noting that they are already beginning to see some of that happening in the Lone Star State.
