The muslim brotherhood and political islamism in France report
Key
Findings of the Report
- Strategic Shift: With
declining influence in the Middle East, the Brotherhood has shifted its
focus to Europe, utilizing foreign funding to establish a permanent,
subversive presence.
- Institutional Infiltration: Instead
of relying on aggressive separatism, the group uses restraint and legalism
to change social rules—such as dress codes, diet, and fasting norms—at the
community level.
- Network Size: The report
estimates that the Musulmans de France (Muslims of
France) association is the national branch of the movement, linked to
roughly 139 places of worship across the country.
Broader
Radicalism and Institutional Responses
The
report's findings have ignited fierce political debate in France. Conservative
and centrist politicians have pointed to the document to advocate for stricter
anti-separatism measures, including bans on the hijab for individuals under 15.
Meanwhile, the Conseil Français du Culte Musulman (CFCM) and
various Muslim commentators have criticized the document, warning that it risks
fueling anti-Muslim conspiracy theories and scapegoating the broader
community.
At the
European level, concerns regarding Brotherhood-linked radicalism have yielded
concrete institutional pushback. Notably, following documentation associating
it with radical networks, the European Parliament expelled the Forum of
European Muslim Youth and Student Organizations (FEMYSO) from its activities.
