No, putting them together is correct. If you'd done a cursory search for connections between it and the MB, you'd know this. Nothing Texas is doing has to work on me, I've been aware of this connection for years.

There was another great link about this that I saw recently, and I thought I'd bookmarked it but apparently not.
As for my "most muslim countries" misstatement, solid hit. It was late and I wrote that in a hurry. I meant most middle eastern countries, and specifically the MB. The Egyptian Military overthrew Mohammad Morsi because the people had just elected an Islamist government run by the MB, who have long been banned there, for example. The fact that they're widely known to use CAIR as their US front group, moving money through subordinate entities into our political races, they're an honest to goodness problem. I encourage you to look into it on your own terms, because the more you look, the worse it gets.
there is so much of an stretch that even trump didnt claim this (though he will later).
they only country that did was UAE which is terrorist supporter regime dictatorship.
"CAIR called the move "shocking and bizarre", and some international American terrorism analysts were also critical. The Washington Post wrote: "CAIR and the Muslim American Society are not alone in their shock. Diverse groups across Europe were also added to the list, leaving many observers perplexed at the scope and sheer scale of the list"
so you were incorrect for both count.
there are 14 muslim countries in west Asia (or as colonial English called middle east). from that 14 only 5 countries banned that group.
so you are wrong two out of two again.
I love how you say specially MB, as if CAIR is banned by anyone outside of UAE (and now ofc course the racist texas government.)
