A French report reveals the Muslim Brotherhood’s infiltration strategy in Europe

Commissioned by the Élysée Palace during a special Defense Council held in January 2024, a report on the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategy of infiltration (entryism) in France was prepared by the Ministries of the Interior and Foreign Affairs. Under the supervision of diplomat Pascal Gouyette and Prefect François Courtade, a group of senior civil servants—tasked in April 2024—visited four European countries and ten French departments, interviewed over 200 individuals (including intelligence officers, religious leaders, researchers, elected officials, and diplomats), and submitted a report to the authorities in July 2024.According to the Ministry of the Interior, the report “highlights a serious threat, characterized by a double discourse combining insularity, concealment, and apparent respect for the rules, with the aim of replacing national unity with new forms of allegiance that break away from the republican tradition.”Ten months later, the government—at President Macron’s request to formulate “proposals commensurate with the seriousness of the findings”—decided to publish a “redacted version” of the report (to protect sources, as is standard when declassifying documents from “Secret Défense” status).The report was described as “damning” by Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau. Excerpts:

Document | CIA & coronavirus pandemic: read the original document

The appearance, in last December, of the epidemic due to a new strain of coronavirus, called Covid-19, and its evolution, in barely three months, into a pandemic swarming worldwide, is anything but a foreseeable event. However, a prospective study drawn up by the CIA presented, in November 2008, a detailed « scenario » whose developments espouse in an extremely disconcerting way the disturbing turn of events since the appearance of the first cases of Covid-19 in Wuhan, China! Here is the full...

Exclusive | Muslim Brotherhood and Iranian Pasdaran: A Secret Alliance?

Nothing predestined the Quds Force, an elite unit within the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (Pasdaran) and the World Organization of Muslim Brotherhood to come together. Yet, documents issued by secret archives of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence reveal the inconceivable: negotiations took place between these two apparently rival organisations, in order to confront their common enemy, Saudi Arabia.

Counterterrorism | In the secret of the new French intelligence strategy

Identifying the most crucial French intelligence issues and proposing a new way of operating and coordinating the efforts of the French intelligence community is at the heart of the national intelligence strategy developed this summer by the National Coordination for Intelligence and Counter Terrorism (in French: Coordination Nationale du Renseignement et de la Lutte contre le Terrorisme – CNRLT).

Islamism | The Muslim Brotherhood in Switzerland: after Nadia Karmous, Qatar abandons Nicolas Blancho

After the Swiss Tariq Ramadan, implicated by several complainants who accuse him of rape, Nadia Karmous and now Nicolas Blancho, Qatar is apparently making a serious self-examination. The gas Emirate is, in fact, forced to separate from many personalities linked to the Muslim Brotherhood who have not failed ideologically, but whose negative image shocks the country and its sovereign.

Financement du terrorisme | New revelations on the “Qatar Connexion”

Despite the denials of the Qatari authorities, which are trying to deny any involvement in the financing of terrorism, scandals have multiplied, and revelations have followed one another since the beginning of the summer, bringing a surprising amount of documents and evidence that overwhelm the gas emirate. Revelations that splash on many local businessmen and dignitaries, but also prominent members of the princely family, including Fahad bin Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, one of the brothers of the current Amir, Tamim...

Terrorism | Muslim Brotherhood and jihadist extremism: The nefarious links

Apart from belonging to radical Islamist ideology, what is the common link between Al-Qaeda and Daesh, even though they are rivals? And the one between the brain behind the 11 September attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and the ‘star’ preacher of the Al-Jazeera chain, Youssef Al-Qaradawi? And a myriad of pro-Islamic networks of influence and funding, established both in the Arab world and in the great capital cities of the West? The answer is unequivocal: the pan-Islamic Fraternity of the Muslim...
