Oklahoma Governor Targets Muslim Groups | Oklahoma City News

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt has ordered state agencies to investigate two Muslim organizations, the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR, amid rising political tension over Islam in the state. The move follows a gubernatorial candidate’s pledge to label these groups as terrorist organizations if elected — echoing similar actions in Florida and Texas. While some conservatives back the probe, critics including faith leaders and civil rights advocates call it divisive and baseless, warning against targeting communities based on religion. Muslim leaders express disappointment, recalling past positive interactions with Stitt, and highlight the contributions of Muslims as doctors, teachers, and business owners. CAIR denies wrongdoing, accusing authorities of spreading debunked conspiracy theories. With elections looming, the investigation stirs fears about religious freedom and deepens cultural rifts in Oklahoma.
