The Muslim Brotherhood is quietly invading Europe, hollowing out Western democracy - opinion
The Muslim Brotherhood has been foraying into the West while it looks the other way, unlike Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which have long banned it
While Israel grapples with a visible conflict against Hamas, a covert threat is emerging within Western institutions. The Muslim Brotherhood, a foundational influence behind Hamas, is steadily infiltrating European politics and society, aiming to undermine democratic norms from within. Unlike Hamas, which utilizes armed resistance, the Brotherhood relies on a strategy known as "tamkeen" – the systematic embedding within Western institutions to gradually dismantle them.
The Brotherhood's long-term plan is evident in documents that outline a 100-year strategy to transform Western societies. Swiss authorities have uncovered evidence of this plan, including a 1982 document titled "The Project" which details a blueprint for "sabotaging" Western institutions. Furthermore, the Brotherhood's ideology stems from fundamentalist interpretations laid out by figures like Hassan al-Banna and Sayyid Qutb, who advocated for physical warfare against the "unbelievers."
Despite these radical origins, the Brotherhood is adept at presenting itself as a moderate force, using progressive terminology to cloak its true intentions. In Switzerland, the Brotherhood's strategic hub since 1961, there exists a network of powerful clans that operate a web of organizations, often with members of one clan serving on the boards of others. This opacity allows the movement to navigate Western governments and law enforcement with relative ease.
The group has amassed significant resources, particularly from sources like Qatar, which has invested heavily in Swiss projects. The Brotherhood uses this funding and influence to sow discord against Israel, promote boycotts, and provide support to Hamas. Western governments, however, remain largely oblivious to the Brotherhood's insidious activities, preferring to overlook the threat posed by this shadowy organization. For the Brotherhood, the goal is centuries-long, and they are determined to see their vision realized.
