Austin, TX Names Day After Pro-Hamas Group That Called for Islamic Rule Over U.S.
Front Page Magazine ^ | 01/23/2026 | Daniel Greenfield

Austin, we have a problem.

Even as many in Texas are pushing back against the rising presence of Islamic Supremacist organizations and hate groups trying to spread their hateful views and calls for the conquest and mass murder of non-Muslims, Austin is welcoming them in.

Fresh off declaring January to be ‘Muslim Heritage Month’, the city of Austin, Texas also decided to declare Jan 22nd, “CAIR-Austin” day after the local chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood organization (a violent Islamist movement originally funded by Nazi Germany) whose national organization celebrated the Hamas massacres of Oct 7 and was named an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas funding trial.

But according to Councilwoman Krista Laine, a leftist radical who forced out the one Republican remaining on the Austin city council, hatred and terrorism are things that Austin should name a day after.

“I am proud to present this proclamation to CAIR-Austin for their unwavering commitment to civic engagement, civil rights, and justice. As the City of Austin recognizes and celebrates Muslim Heritage Month, CAIR-Austin exemplifies the values of community building and collaboration. This proclamation reminds us that everyone belongs in Austin,” Councilwoman Laine claimed.

CAIR is to civil rights as 9/11 is to building integrity. That’s why Texas Gov. Abbott recently designated CAIR as a foreign terrorist organization.

But let’s look at the Discover the Networks profile of CAIR to see what values it exemplifies.

Co-founder Nihad Awad asserted at a 1994 meeting at Barry University, “I am a supporter of the Hamas movement.” Awad wrote in the Muslim World Monitor that the 1994 trial which had resulted in the conviction of four Islamic fundamentalist terrorists who had perpetrated the previous year’s World Trade Center bombing was “a travesty of justice.”

On February 2, 1995, U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White named CAIR Advisory Board member and New York imam Siraj Wahhaj as one of the “unindicted persons who may be alleged as co-conspirators” in Islamic Group leader Omar Abdel Rahman‘s foiled plot to blow up numerous New York City monuments.

In October 1998, CAIR demanded the removal of a Los Angeles billboard describing Osama bin Laden as “the sworn enemy.” According to CAIR, this depiction was “offensive to Muslims.”

In 1998, CAIR denied bin Laden’s responsibility for the two al Qaeda bombings of American embassies in Africa. According to Ibrahim Hooper, the bombings resulted from “misunderstandings of both sides.”

Has CAIR moderated in recent years? This was Awad more recently.

Nihad Awad: “The people of Gaza only decided to break the siege, the walls of the concentration camp, on October 7. And yes, I was happy to see people breaking the siege… the people of Gaza have the right to self-defense, have the right to defend themselves, and yes, Israel, as an occupying power, does not have that right to self-defense.”

CAIR in Texas recently came out in defense of vandalizing churches.

Muslims vandalized the Uncommon Church in Euless TX with obscene anti-Israel graffiti. Leftists and the Islamist group CAIR quickly came to their defense, complaining that vandalizing churches is really protected by the First Amendment.

After Raunaq Alam, Afsheen Khan and Julia Venzor vandalized the church, the Dallas Observer claimed that prosecuting them “erodes the First Amendment rights of protesters and critics of the nation of Israel.”

But beyond all the terrorism stuff, why is CAIR even in Texas or in America?

“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran . . . should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth,” CAIR’s founding chairman, Omar Ahmed declared.

Anyone collaborating with CAIR is collaborating with a dangerous Islamic Supremacist group seeking to subjugate non-Muslims, women and everyone else to a brutal medieval theocracy. That now includes Councilwoman Laine and the city of Austin.

Makes sense. Islam is a sodomite religion where Baki Bazi is practiced in many countries, Islamic conquerors routinely rape their male captives, and pedophilia is religious.

If this country doesn’t wake up and do what common sense dictates (ban Islam), this Country will be lost. These SOBs have now gained a foothold and their Islamic Jihad requires that they not cease operations until they subjugate their adversaries (all non-Allah believers).

I don’t know why people can’t see that when these immigrants, legal and illegal, reach a population number that makes them a significant voting block, it’s over. The politicians will start representing them instead of us. The immigrants seem to always vote the same way, and it’s usually democrats. There are examples everywhere. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s Indians, Muslims, or Chinese.

The cancer that affects many red state is when its cities began to turn blue. The Democrats seem to believe they can use Islam to take eternal control of states/countries and then discard the Muslims who help them gain control ... silly fools.

“”But beyond all the terrorism stuff, why is CAIR even in Texas or in America?””

WHY can’t it be designated as a domestic terrorist organization? They’ve been doing their indoctrination - out in the open - ever since 9/11...Put an end to them operating here..do they have tax exempt status - anything at all - to sweep the rug out from under them? We will all go to our graves never understanding HOW people such as this continue to exist and even get elected to public office in this country! TX may need another Alamo!!!

Which reminds me I’m re-reading Stephen Coonts book, “Liberty’s Last Stand.” A great story and great writer. I highly recommend it...TX declares independence after martial law is declared by a president with the initials B.O. yep - even used the name as he’s been known here since he came on the scene...

One of our own, “Bray” also wrote a great book, “Republic of Texas”, well worth reading.
