The Elysee Presidential Palace has called for a measured response after a new report on the Muslim Brotherhood said the movement posed a threat to national unity. The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt almost 100 years ago, but now has branches in countries across the world. The French report will be discussed at a Defence Council meeting today, chaired by President Macron.
Whatever you wouldn’t let the catholic church impose, you shouldn’t let any other religion impose either.
Just to provide a little bit of context: The muslim brotherhood is present everywhere where muslims live and they are being surpressed in many arab countries. Their branch in Palestine is Hamas.
What do they mean by “national unity” here? The article is pretty short on information.
LeMonde has a little more about it. https://www.lemonde.fr/en/france/article/2025/05/21/french-report-warns-of-subtle-but-subversive-spread-of-muslim-brotherhood-ideology_6741471_7.html
Basically it’s about promoting an extreme version of Islam, mostly funded by countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
