UAE Declares CAIR, the Muslim American Society, and the Muslim Brotherhood to be Terrorist Organizations

From the Daily Caller:

The United Arab Emirates has officially designated 83 groups as terrorist organizations, including two based in the U.S., the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim American Society. 

UAE’s cabinet made the announcement following a meeting on Saturday. Other groups designated as terrorists include al-Qaida, al Nusra, Boko Haram and the Muslim Brotherhood. 

CAIR’s designation is interesting given its high profile here in the U.S. The group was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case in 2007. 

Leaders of the Holy Land Foundation were found guilty of aiding Hamas, which the U.S. has designated as a terrorist organization.
