The report ‘Muslim Brotherhood and political radical Islam in France’, commissioned by the French Government, documents the worrying rise of political radical Islam in France. It also emphasises the European dimension of the Muslim Brotherhood and the culpable naivety of the Commission.
The report highlights the Brotherhood’s network on our continent and its lobbying of European institutions[1]. As a result, the Muslim Brotherhood has become a ‘regular partner’ of the Commission and receives copious EU subsidies. This is the case for the Forum of European Muslim Youth and Student Organisations, the youth branch of the Council of European Muslims, the ‘keystone’ of the European Muslim Brotherhood, and for Islamic Relief Worldwide and other organisations.
Worse still, the French Ministry of Higher Education is concerned about the proliferation of projects funded by Erasmus+ involving radical Islam activism in universities. Finally, the report claims that members of the European External Action Service have received training from a former adviser to Mohamed Morsi.
Will the Commission:
- 1.admit that the Muslim Brotherhood is pursuing a strategy of influencing and infiltrating into the EU institutions?
- 2.carry out a full audit of subsidies granted to non-governmental organisations that are likely to be linked to radical Islam?
- 3.work towards banning the Muslim Brotherhood in the EU, as Austria has already done?
