Designating the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) in the United States is a basic first step in countering the organization’s corrosive influence. The MB has spread extremism, instability and terrorism from the Middle East to the rest of the world, not least in the US and Europe, with affiliates of the organization spread across at least 70 other countries.
I just can’t see the Liberal Party being outlawed.
On July 24, Egyptian-born Michael Youssef, senior pastor of Church of The Apostles in Atlanta and author of more than 50 books, including The Third Jihad, wrote that while visiting a Middle Eastern nation, he met with a highly placed Muslim official.
“He leaned toward me and said, ‘Doctor Youssef, can you tell me why the Muslim Brotherhood is outlawed as a terrorist organization in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Egypt – but is allowed to flourish in America?’ I said, ‘I can think of no answer except foolishness and ignorance.'”
For a good number of European nations, taking the threat posed by the Muslim Brotherhood “seriously” means launching investigations and (eventually) releasing reports. Meanwhile, it appears Washington may be about to show them how it should be done—by designating the Brotherhood as a terrorist group outright.
Senator Ted Cruz plans to introduce a bill after last month’s antisemitic attack in Colorado, which was reportedly carried out by a supporter of the Islamist group which is working to infiltrate Western societies.
Muslim Brotherhood and Qatar have established extensive network across Canada: report
The Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist organization that has declared “jihad against the Jews,” has established a vast network of charities and fundraising across Canada, a new think-tank report finds.
“For decades, organizations affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, of which Hamas is also an adherent, have managed to embed themselves at all levels of Canadian society,” the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) argues.
What brought this great awakening on?
As the Iran-Israel war enters its second week, the Muslim Brotherhood, the world’s largest and most influential Islamist Sunni organization, has come out in support of the Iranian regime.
If US President Donald Trump is really serious about making a positive impact on the Middle East, a good place for him to start would be to designate the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood movement as a terrorist organisation and scale down Washington’s ties with the Gulf state of Qatar.
Since he won re-election, there has been much speculation that Trump, architect of the ground-breaking Abraham Accords, intends to use his second term in office to negotiate a wide-ranging peace deal aimed at bringing lasting stability to the Middle East.
In March 2021, the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) got mail from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) that no charity ever wants to see. In 150 pages, the letter detailed the CRA’s reasons for alleging, mid-audit, various breaches of tax law from 2013 to 2015, ranging from flawed record keeping to improper links to the Muslim Brotherhood and an alleged Canadian front for Hamas.
A government audit of one of Canada’s largest Muslim charities alleges some of its directors and employees were involved in “an apparent Hamas support network.”
Canada Revenue Agency auditors cited the “troubling” allegation as one of the reasons it felt there were grounds to revoke the charity status of the Muslim Association of Canada.
The March 2021 audit document, obtained by Global News, details the concerns the CRA charities branch raised about the federally-funded Muslim Association of Canada (MAC).
The Muslim Brotherhood helping Hamas? No Way!
Renowned French anthropologist Florence Bergeaud Blackler discusses the expansion of Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe, the Islamic Caliphate, and the halal & hijab push in western democracies, in an interview with The New Indian Editor-in-Chief Aarti Tikoo.
Blackler specializes in Islamic normativity and has written two books – The Halal Market or The Invention of a Tradition and Frérisme or Brotherism (yet to be translated into English). Her research focuses on Salafi indoctrination, halal ecosystems, and the particular form of Islamism that emerged in the 1960s in Europe and other western liberal democracies. Her works also revolve around the role of the Muslim Brotherhood in promoting a more radical version of Islam and pushing the traditional schools of Islam to the corner, in order to lead all Muslims towards the Caliphate.
The French university has long been under the strong influence of what one may call ‘Islamo-leftism,’ i.e., the complacency of a part of the academic elite towards militant Islam, preventing any critical distance and any analysis of the Muslim religion and world. A researcher has just paid the price, seeing her planned conference at the Sorbonne on the Muslim Brotherhood ‘suspended,’ supposedly for security reasons.
Islamists have leveled death threats at an influential French academic, forcing her to live under police protection after writing a hard-hitting book about the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategy to Islamize Europe. Muslim activists have, as expected, denounced her work as “Islamophobic,” but some Islamists and non-Muslim leftwing academics have on this occasion taken the invective to another level by falsely comparing the scrutiny of Islamism to Nazism.
Florence Bergeaud-Blackler, an anthropologist at the French National Center for Scientific Research (Centre national de la recherche scientifique, CNRS), one of the leading research institutions in Europe, is a long-time observer of the Islamist landscape in the West. In January 2023, she published her magnum opus, The Brotherhood and its Networks: The Investigation (Le Frérisme et ses reseaux, L’Enquête), a 400-page book that meticulously dissects the Muslim Brotherhood’s efforts to spread Islamism in Europe.
Better Designation of Muslim Brotherhood Actors in Western Societies Needed to Combat Extremist Currents
The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) was founded in Egypt in 1928. From there, the ideology traveled with its followers over the years, who spread it to new places — particularly the West. However, it has been observed that authorities in Western societies often deal with Muslim Brotherhood members and supporters differently depending on their country of origin.
In Canada the Trudeau government welcomes the Muslim Brotherhood as an ally in their war against Canadians.
… Dozens of Muslim Canadian organizations are now urging the sympathetic Trudeau government and the “president of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to intervene on behalf of Egyptian refugee claimants in Vancouver,” who are deemed security risks due to their MB links. The argument of the Muslim groups manifests complete disregard for Canadian national security. Since the MB groups are not listed as “terrorist entities,” these groups expect Canada to turn a blind eye to all rational concerns and risks, and give these entities a big welcome.
Since its establishment in 1928, the Muslim Brotherhood’s main motto has been “Islam is the solution” (to all problems). The organization’s followers have used this slogan over the past decade to rise to power in a number of countries, including Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco and Sudan.
The past few weeks, however, have shown that many Arabs and Muslims no longer believe in the Muslim Brotherhood’s ability to govern or in the claim that “Islam is the solution.”
As Moroccan writer Saeed Nashed said, “The Muslim Brotherhood took Morocco into a decade of darkness.”
