President Trump has acted as no other president has by unleashing a war on Iran whose objective is not only preventing the ayatollahs from ever building a nuclear weapon but ideally (though unmentioned) replacing the fanatics with leaders more friendly to Israel and the West and delivering freedom and prosperity to the Iranian people.

With two more terrorist attacks last week — one at Old Dominion University in Virginia and the other at a synagogue and Jewish school in Dearborn, Michigan — is it time to talk of terrorists crossing a red line in this country?

How many more terrorist attacks must we endure before more is done to lessen the threat?

The Florida legislature and Governor Ron DeSantis have taken a bold and useful step in banning Sharia Law in the state and giving DeSantis the ability to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization.

The U.S. has seen numerous Muslim organizations established within its borders before and especially after 9/11. They advocate policies counter to U.S interests. Some defend attacks on Israel and support terrorists and Iran.

These include The Muslim Brotherhood. Designated by Texas and now Florida as a foreign terrorist organization. U.S. officials and reports have accused the group of acting as a “militant Islamist organization” that aims to undermine U.S. national security and support groups like Hamas.

Another active Muslim organization is CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Designated as a “foreign terrorist organization” by Texas and Florida in late 2025 due to alleged links to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation trial. CAIR denies these links and has sued to contest these designations.

Others include:

• American Muslims for Palestine (AMP): Identified in reports as an Islamist organization promoting pro-Hamas advocacy, BDS (Boycott, Divestment Sanctions against Israel), and acting as part of a “network” of threat actors.

• Islamic Society of North America (ISNA): Described in studies as an Islamist organization that operates as a sister organization to CAIR and shares board members, with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood’s U.S. network.

• Muslim American Society (MAS): Described in reports as an Islamist organization with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, focusing on “direct action” and anti-Israel advocacy.

• Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP): Identified in reports as an Islamist organization focused on campus activism, pro-Hamas advocacy, and BDS promotion.

• The Muslim Students Association (MSA National): Described in reports as focused on campus activism and affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood’s network.

• Revolution Muslim (RM): Described by the West Point Counterterrorism Center (CTC) as a radical group linked to terrorism cases, which appeared in 2010 to act as a recruiter for foreign militant groups.

The U.S. government has, in past cases like the Holy Land Foundation, shut down charities, including Benevolence International Foundation and Global Relief Foundation, accusing them of directing funds toward terrorism.

Federal investigations have also identified domestic Islamic extremist groups in prisons, such as Jam'iyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh (JIS), which they say pose a threat.

If further attacks continue on U.S. soil, at a minimum these groups should be closed and disbanded. While some liberal judges might not allow it, voters in November could do something about it by electing people who put America ahead of its enemies, foreign and especially domestic.
