The penetration of the Brotherhood in Europe makes them a time bomb

The Muslim Brotherhood’s organization exploits the European continent as its centre of gravity, although its subversive projects are mostly taking place in Arab and Islamic countries. However, the terrorist organization does not abandon Europe. It has benefited from and literally exploited its legal system in order to build a large network of active organizations and associations. It has helped it to achieve its most important objectives, namely, to extend within societies, especially Muslim societies, to enlist members of the lower classes, to elites, as well as to finance freely.

This is what German scholar and political Islam group expert Sigrid Herrmann-Marschall warned about the gravity of the Brotherhood’s ideology, stressing that the group represents a subversive force and a conspiratorial movement pursuing a secret plan aimed at “Brotherhoodization” of societies not only Western or secular but Muslim-majority Arabs and penetrating existing state organs at all levels.

The researcher spoke in a report published on the website “European Eye on Extremism” presentation of a recent book in German on the founder of the Brotherhood of Hassan al-Banna entitled “The Architect of Political Islam”, It is a biography of the group’s founder and first guide who worked primarily in the teaching profession and provides a detailed account of the group’s membership system, structures, developments in its basic elements and the means adopted by the group to impose its agenda.

The German researcher explained that the Brotherhood’s plan since its inception was to Islamize the state by any means, and not to separate religion and politics, and to claim to represent true Islam.

In the same context, observers say that not only is the Brotherhood’s most dangerous penetration into European societies its stated ideas and morals, but the fact that the group is the main source of extremism from which all Islamic terrorist organizations were launched is the most dangerous. This would constitute a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

As for the differences between the leaders of Islamic organizations of their various affiliations are only formal ones. Al-Qaeda is the creation of the Brotherhood, and this is reflected in one of the recent publications of the terrorist leader of Al-Qaeda, Ayman Al-Zawahiri, who expressed his admiration for the Brotherhood’s viewpoint, Sayyid Qutb, considering him a real leader, and his book “Knights of Under the Banner of the Prophet” reveals the extent of the al-Qaeda leader’s gratitude for the Brotherhood’s role in establishing the curriculum of extremist organizations.

All this prompts European States to wake up and amend their laws while restricting their concentrated terrorist activity. These laws reflect the Group’s opportunities to extend important economic partnerships that help it finance its activities and enable it to financially and humanely contain marginalized and newly migrant Western livelihoods, thereby putting pressure on their national security.

France managed to update its anti-terror laws amid fears of the return of terrorist attacks to the country, while Switzerland updated its laws in the same regard, but amid human rights concerns.

For its part, Britain is trying to formulate renewed laws to overcome its obstacles to the file and its threats to national security. In Germany, the government resorted to keeping extremists away from working in government agencies.

In summary, the Brotherhood’s ability to extend in Europe depends on the unidentified laws of their status as a dangerous group, or even as independent or organized social entities. The governments of the region have confused the norms of political resistance, armed resistance and unjustified violence.
