THE HAGUE โ A coalition of European and international organizations with more than 70 people gathered this Sunday, November 23rd, in front of the International Criminal Court to condemn Muslim Brotherhood infiltration in Europe following the French and the Belgian intelligence reports as well as the EU report launched on November 20th in the European Parliament which shows the financing of Muslim Brotherhood activities indirectly EU taxpayers.
This action contributes to the international movement for the official designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, in accordance with the legislation in force in the United States and in countries such as Austria, Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Numerous reports from intelligence agencies and parliamentarians indicate that the Muslim Brotherhood incites violence, encourages radicalization, and recruits young people to participate in conflicts in Africa and Asia (Nigeria, Pakistan, Bangladesh). The Muslim Brotherhood does not represent true Islam but supports extremist ideologies and networks. Prominent European experts and human rights defenders delivered inspiring speeches in front of the International Criminal Court, calling for a ban on the Muslim Brotherhood movement, which is showing its global threat to peace and security.
Dr Julio Levit Koldorf highlighted that โIslamism pervades here in Western Europe, infiltrating public speech and aligning itselfโฆwith oddly enough left-wing movementsโฆ which paradoxically they defend a totalitarian ideology that opposes democracy, human
rights, gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, and obviously secularism. So, the West faces an ideological crisis, with so-called โwoke progressivesโ blindly enabling a movement responsible for mass casualties from Madrid, Barcelona, to Paris, London, Brussels,
Berlin and beyond. Interpol reports more than 100 jihadist attacks in Europe just in the last 10 years.โ
Mr Henry Van Bommel, a former Dutch politician and public affairs advisor at GHRD, mentioned that โThe movementโs strategy involves a long-term, multi-stage plan to achieve its goals, including the creation of an effective and stable Islamic movement and the presentation of Islam as a civilizational alternative to the West. This includes a โcivilizational-jihadist processโ aimed at eliminating Western civilization from within through ideological influence and political engagement.โ
Mrs Fahimeh IlGhami, an Iranian-Belgian womenโs activist and city councilor in Belgium, called on the EU institutions and the International Criminal Court to ban the Muslim Brotherhood movement and put the IRGC on the terrorist list, as they both represent an international threat beyond the borders of MENA or South Asia.
Mr Ramon Rahangmetan, Co-Founder of Circle of Sustainable Europe, stressed the fact that โI want to make something absolutely clear. This is not a speech about Islam. It is not a speech about Muslim communities, who are essential and valued members of our
societies. This is a speech about a political movement, one that several European intelligence agencies identify as a long-term, structural, ideological threat to democratic cohesion.โ
Mrs Tarana Faroqi, an expert on Migration and development, stated that โOur objective is not to target any community, faith, or political opinion. Europeโs commitment to freedom of religion and freedom of association is unwavering. However, when an organization, regardless of its ideological label, engages in covert financing, intimidation, infiltration of public institutions, or the promotion of extremism, the law must respond.โ
All the speakers and the participants stressed their engagement for peace and unity between the different ethnic and religious groups in society in Europe and beyond, and the need to fight together against separatism and hate, as well as preserve our freedoms and values which might be threatened by the rise of political Islam that is why an urgent action is needed to protect our societies and the future generations.
