Jets, Justice, and Jihad: Arm the Saudis, Crush the Brotherhood, Gut CAIR

A Phantom Leverage to Secure America’s Middle East Dominion

By: Amil Imani

In the sweltering heat of Riyadh’s palaces and the shadowy corridors of Islamist-funded nonprofits back home, President Donald Trump’s masterstroke is unfolding: a multibillion-dollar F-35 deal that’s not just about jets, but about reclaiming America’s unchallenged throne in the Middle East. On November 17, Trump boldly declared, “We’ll be selling the F-35s,” greenlighting up to 48 of these stealth marvels to Saudi Arabia ahead of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s White House visit. This isn’t charity – it’s leverage, pure and unadulterated, a carrot laced with steel to force Riyadh’s hand against the jihadist specter haunting both hemispheres. And right on cue, Texas Governor Greg Abbott dropped the hammer on November 18, designating the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and its puppet-master, the Muslim Brotherhood, as foreign terrorist organizations under state law. Banned from snapping up Texas land and ripe for shutdown lawsuits, CAIR’s Saudi-fueled tentacles are finally getting the squeeze they deserve. Patriots, this is how you play 4D chess: Arm the Saudis to bury the Brotherhood’s Wahhabi poison, safeguard Israel’s edge, and gut domestic Islamist agitators like CAIR who peddle anti-American venom under the guise of “civil rights.”

Let’s cut through the fog of diplomatic niceties. The F-35 Lightning II isn’t some shiny toy – it’s America’s crown jewel of aerial dominance, a fifth-generation stealth fighter that turns the skies into a no-fly zone for adversaries like Iran’s mullahs and their drone-swarm fantasies. Saudi Arabia’s request for 48 of these bad boys, cleared by the Pentagon, signals Riyadh’s desperation to modernize its air force amid escalating threats from Tehran. But Trump isn’t handing them over for oil sheikhs’ smiles. This deal is conditional firepower: Full normalization with Israel via an expanded Abraham Accords, ironclad intel-sharing to dismantle Iranian proxies, and – crucially – a Saudi vow to choke off the Wahhabi funding streams that bankroll Brotherhood offshoots like CAIR. Remember, the UAE got their F-35s in 2020 only after inking peace with Israel; Saudi Arabia won’t get a free ride. Critics whine about eroding Israel’s qualitative military edge? Nonsense. The U.S. retains kill-switches and tech safeguards on these exports, ensuring Jerusalem’s supremacy while Riyadh polices the Persian Gulf against Ayatollah Khamenei’s fever dreams.

Now, pivot to the home front, where the real war rages: the insidious creep of Sharia supremacism masquerading as multiculturalism. Enter CAIR, the self-proclaimed “largest Muslim civil rights organization” that’s anything but. Founded in 1994 with roots in the Muslim Brotherhood – the same transnational terror network behind Hamas and al-Qaeda – CAIR isn’t advocating for rights; it’s exporting Riyadh’s radical Wahhabism to America’s mosques, campuses, and courtrooms. Declassified docs from the 2007 Holy Land Foundation trial exposed CAIR as an unindicted co-conspirator in funneling millions to Hamas, with founding board member Ghassan Elashi – Texas chapter bigwig – sentenced to 65 years for terrorism financing. And the money trail? Straight from Saudi deep pockets: $500,000 from Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal in 2002 for Koranic propaganda kits to U.S. libraries, plus $1.2 million from six Saudi and UAE donors in 2005 alone. CAIR denies it, of course, but their sudden settlements in donor-disclosure lawsuits scream cover-up.

Texas, that bastion of American grit, is ground zero for CAIR’s anti-U.S. sabotage. Abbott’s proclamation isn’t hyperbole – it’s a direct gut-punch to an outfit that’s turned Lone Star campuses into hotbeds of jihadist cheerleading. Since Hamas’s barbaric October 7, 2023, slaughter of 1,200 Israelis, CAIR’s Texas chapter has been a nonstop fountain of bile: Executive Director Nihad Awad publicly celebrated the attacks as “what Palestinians have been doing for years,” comparing Israel to Nazi Germany and fueling pro-Hamas riots at UT-Austin and UH. They’ve sued Abbott three times to shield anti-Israel agitators, demanding Texas universities punish “Zionist” speech while protecting calls for intifada. And land grabs? CAIR’s Brotherhood blueprint includes snapping up Texas real estate for “Sharia compounds” – Abbott’s ban slams that door shut, invoking state codes to forfeit assets and empower AG Ken Paxton to litigate them into oblivion. As Abbott thundered on X: “These radical extremists are not welcome in our state.” Damn right.

This Texas takedown isn’t isolated – it’s the tip of a national spear, synchronized with Trump’s F-35 gambit to extirpate Saudi complicity in Islamist export. Riyadh’s billions have long subsidized Wahhabi madrassas and Brotherhood fronts, turning American soil into a launchpad for anti-Western fervor. By dangling F-35 supremacy – jets that could vaporize Iranian silos in a heartbeat – Trump extracts the ultimate concession: Saudi vows to audit and axe funding to CAIR-like entities, plus joint ops to monitor Brotherhood remittances. It’s “tough love” on steroids: Upgrade your arsenal, MBS, but only if you help us purge the cancer you’ve helped metastasize stateside. Intel-sharing clauses in the deal will flood U.S. agencies with data on Saudi bankrolls to U.S. mosques, starving CAIR’s harassment networks that bully critics of Sharia creep.

The broader canvas? A Middle East reset that buries the ghosts of Obama’s appeasement era. Iran’s nuclear ghost – flattened by U.S.-Israeli strikes in June 2025 – lurks no more, but Tehran’s proxies still fester in Yemen, Syria, and Gaza. F-35-armed Saudis, locked into Abraham Accords normalization, form an iron bulwark: Riyadh hosts U.S. bases, shares radar feeds with Jerusalem, and enforces a “zero-tolerance” edict on Wahhabi proselytizing. Domestically, this cascades: States follow Texas’s lead, Congress fast-tracks federal Brotherhood designation (shoutout to Sen. Ted Cruz’s July bill), and CAIR’s “civil rights” facade crumbles under RICO scrutiny. No more taxpayer-funded “sensitivity trainings” laced with Islamist propaganda; no more campus occupations chanting “From the river to the sea” while waving Hamas flags.

CAIR’s predictable screech? “Defamatory Islamophobia!” Spare us the tears. This is sovereignty, not bigotry – defending the Constitution from those who’d replace it with caliphate fever dreams. As Abbott’s move empowers lawsuits to shutter CAIR chapters, imagine the ripple: Donors exposed, affiliates defunded, leaders in orange jumpsuits. And Saudi Arabia? Transformed from Wahhabi exporter to anti-jihad enforcer, their F-35s a badge of reformed allegiance.

America First means no sacred cows – not for oil-rich autocrats, not for Brotherhood fronts. Trump’s F-35 play, synced with Abbott’s Texas thunderbolt, is the kill shot: Leverage abroad to decapitate threats at home. Patriots, demand more – call your reps, amplify this fight. The ghosts of 9/11 whisper: This is how you win wars before they start. Let’s make the Brotherhood and CAIR relics, and the Middle East a fortress of freedom. God bless the USA, and Godspeed to the Phantoms.
