(National-UAE) A “dangerous hate” app linked to the Muslim Brotherhood has been in the top 100 downloads in the Apple Store in a third of European countries since its launch, despite international calls for it to be banned.
The Euro Fatwa app, which was launched in April, was created by the European Council for Fatwa and Research, a Dublin private foundation set up by Yusuf Al Qaradawi, spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Touted as a guide to help Muslims adhere to Islam, critics including Germany’s security service say the app is a radicalisation tool.
It contains an introduction by Al Qaradawi, now 93, in which he makes derogatory references to Jews while speaking about historic fatwas.
It also claims European laws do not have to be obeyed if they contradict Islamic rules.
