(European Conservative) An expert on Islamism has highlighted the dangers to Europe of the Muslim Brotherhood through its emphasis on legal rather than “terrorist” methods. Dr. Lorenzo Vidino told a recent European conference how the Brotherhood is a “social network,” united by ideological and economic ties, and heavily financed by Qatar.
It facilitates Islamist radicalisation while impacting the discussion of human rights and democracy — which it wishes to abolish in favour of establishing a global caliphate: i.e. theocratic rule by a caliph, the recognised successor to the prophet Muhammad.
Le Journal du Dimanche reported how the conference — organised by the Défense des servants de la République association — brought together a wide range of Islamism experts in the French commune of Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine on Wednesday, May 15th.
