Speaker A
Not long ago, the UAE stopped funding the education of its citizens in the United Kingdom. And the reason is surprising. Due to fears of their radicalization, Abu Dhabi considers London a hotbed of Islamism. Let me remind you, any UAE citizen has the privilege of receiving a free foreign education at the state's expense. Because of the prestige of a British degree and, in principle, due to historical ties, Emirati Arabs often chose the UK. Therefore, Abu Dhabi's decision was unexpected, yet understandable. It happened because the UK refused to recognize the Muslim Brotherhood organization as a terrorist one. It is recognized as a terrorist organization in many places: in Bahrain, the UAE, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and even in Russia. This is a place where, for the record, even the Taliban is not listed as a terrorist organization. This list also includes Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and the USA, but there is not a single European country on the list. Muslim countries have been familiar with this organization for a very long time. But in Europe, they know very little about them. But this also confirms the effectiveness of the Muslim Brotherhood's work, whose initial tactic was to work quietly, carefully, and unnoticed. Their officially proclaimed goal is the Islamization of the West and the fight against global Jahiliyyah. This is the term they use for any society that has not turned to Islam. It translates as primitive, barbaric, and ignorant. These are generalized goals. There are more specific ones. Sharia as the only form of government. And a global caliphate is the ultimate goal. Our goal is an Islamic state in North America by 2050. When we openly declare that America will one day become a Muslim country, Inshallah, people look at us with skepticism. But, in truth, that is exactly what our goal is. Everyone has their own idea of what America should be. We believe that Islam is better, both for the faith itself and for America. Historically, the organization fights against the ideas of nationalism, secularism, and Western influence. The officially proclaimed tool for achieving their goal is cultural jihad, or in other words, political Islam. The organization rejects aggressive military influence and instead advocates for a methodical struggle through Western institutions. They participate in the politics of Western European countries, promote loyal candidates or field their own, and organize mass rallies for Palestine or to promote mass immigration. They infiltrate various NGOs. Millions of supporters operate in nearly 70 countries around the world, including Asia, the USA, the Middle East, and Europe. They are closely linked to Hamas and Al-Qaeda. They promoted Erdogan in the elections. At one time, they seized power in Egypt. Who are they, and why are they a banned organization in most countries of the Muslim world? But, predominantly, no one in Europe knows anything about them. And that is why I am recording this video. Those who call this video Islamophobic will be mistaken. Firstly, that is not the case. And secondly, the term Islamophobia was invented and spread specifically by the Muslim Brotherhood. Yes, don't be surprised; this is one of the most important tools in their struggle. But before we begin, let me tell you about a service that will be very useful abroad and even at home. Skycards. With their help, you can open a Visa or Mastercard bank card for all your needs via a Telegram bot. The proven Skycards team will help you remotely open a personal account in a foreign bank and even get a plastic card. Moreover, they select a card specifically for your needs: for travel, living abroad, or international transfers. You can also link it to Apple Pay and Google Pay to make payments and withdraw cash worldwide. The Skycards team guides you through all the stages and stays with you even after the card is issued. A minimal prepayment is enough to get started, and you pay the balance after the card is issued. If for some reason they fail to issue the card, they will refund your money. But the most interesting part is that you can top it up via crypto or any European bank. Follow the link in the description, use the promo code SHVTSOV during your consultation, and get a discount of at least 60 euros on the card issuance. The global plans I mentioned are called conspiracy theories by supporters of the movement. These ideas are taken directly from the Muslim Brotherhood's memorandum. They claim this document is not official but merely the opinion of one person. What kind of document is it? In 2004, there was a trial in the US against the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. The Americans suspected that the charity might actually be funneling military aid to Hamas. The investigation led to Ismail Elbarasse, a Hamas member living in the US, and at his home, they found a 1991 document describing the Muslim Brotherhood's goals of integrating Islam into Western society through settlement, yet without explicit calls for violence. The text emphasized that in the US, organizations are respected as such, so it is necessary to build a whole network of structures: universities, charities, political parties, media, and public organizations, rather than being a narrow circle of activists. The memorandum proclaimed slow expansion through institutions and personnel as its main strategy. The key is to use political methods rather than force. Meaning. You won't believe it, but this Islamic preacher was educated at the University of London. The text uses a very controversial term called "civilizational jihad." This refers to the replacement of Western culture with Islam. Critics of the document say it is about ordinary military jihad. Supporters say it is a figurative expression and refers to peaceful dissemination through institutions. And overall, judging by how they operate, that's more likely to be true than not. There is a well-known hadith stating that in the future, Islam will surely conquer Rome. And this means only one thing: we will again achieve a decisive victory over all European nations. After all, the conquest of Rome and all of Italy essentially means the conquest of all of Europe. And that means Islam will once again triumphantly return to these lands. But does this really have to happen through war? No, of course not, not at all. After all, there is such a thing as peaceful conquest. And our religion contains all the foundations for this. That is why I am convinced that Islam will eventually conquer Europe without a single sword or battle, solely through preaching and the power of our ideas. An important point. Supporters of the Brotherhood acknowledge this document, but they deny it is officially approved. The Brothers have deeply penetrated European democratic institutions today. They are winning in municipal and even state elections. Dozens of organizations linked to them receive hundreds of millions of euros in subsidies from EU funds. And this goes to show that this is not a local movement. It is a huge, powerful political force that is closely linked to the deadliest groups, such as Al-Qaeda, Hamas, and many others. But indeed, it all started with a small interest group in Egypt. The early 20th century, the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. By Ataturk’s decree, the Caliphate is abolished. And for many Muslims, a unifying factor disappears. In Egypt, there is a catastrophe. Beyond the economic crisis, there is also the penetration of Western culture, especially British. Hassan al-Banna, a twenty-two-year-old Egyptian schoolteacher living in the Suez Canal area. At that moment, many British people are there. Hassan is annoyed by the British lifestyle, their values, where money is above morality. He hated the very factor of colonialism, that a Westerner is on Muslim land. Looking ahead, the words "colonialism" and "the fight against it" are heard most often at rallies in London, Berlin, and other major European cities. And this is no

Speaker A
Caliphate is abolished. And for many Muslims, a unifying factor disappears. In Egypt, there is a catastrophe.
Speaker A
Beyond the economic crisis, there is also the penetration of Western culture , especially British. Hassan al-Banna, a twenty-two-year-old Egyptian schoolteacher living in the Suez Canal area. At that moment, many British people are there. Hassan is annoyed by the British lifestyle, their values,
Speaker A
where money is above morality. He hated the very factor of colonialism, that a Westerner is on Muslim land. Looking ahead, the words "colonialism" and "the fight against it" are heard most often at rallies in London, Berlin, and other
Speaker A
major European cities. And this is no coincidence, because the fight against the colonial West, specifically Great Britain, was the cornerstone idea upon which all of Al-Banna's views were built. In 1928, he creates an interest group and calls it the Muslim
Speaker A
Brotherhood. The name is not without reason. The main idea is that all Muslims in the world are brothers. Many call the Brothers and Hassan himself " Islamic communists." And in general, there is indeed much in common. And they were indeed inspired by the Soviet
Speaker A
experience. Hassan, as befits any ideological communist, rejected the idea of the nation. He was a classic internationalist. Like other communists , Al-Banna believed that dividing people by nationality is Western thinking that must be gotten rid of. In these lectures, Hassan was engaged in
Speaker A
Islamic education for ordinary working people. He spoke about life according to Sharia norms, about the Caliphate, about the Ummah, and generally immersed them in the ideas of Salafi Islam.
Speaker A
Salafism is a movement within Sunni Islam. The name comes from "as-salaf as-salih," which translates as " righteous predecessors." Supporters of Salafism believe that the only true Islam is that which the first generations of Muslims had. Current Islam, in its mass, is in their opinion
Speaker A
incorrect because it has departed from its roots. In their view, Islam has become overgrown with unnecessary national traditions and unnecessary mysticism. Muslims began praying to various saints, but they should pray only to Allah and no one else. But most
Speaker A
importantly, the Quran and the Sunnah are the only sources of authority. Not a national constitution, laws, or anything else—the Quran and the Sunnah. For Salafists, these two sources regulate their entire lives, and no other laws are needed. Simply
Speaker A
put, they practice the most traditionalist, original form of Islam. That is exactly why they have many contradictions with most Muslims in the world, who might listen to music or participate in democratic elections, which, in fact, is forbidden. What
Speaker A
democracy? What are you talking about? The Caliphate. The Caliphate, in their opinion, is the only choice. Salafists are convinced that supreme power belongs not to the people, but to Allah . They are convinced that people have no right to establish any laws, because
Speaker A
these laws were long ago established by the Quran. The Quran has already answered all questions: how to live?
Speaker A
How to divorce? How to get married? How to divide property? How to punish someone, how to prepare food, which hand to eat with. This is all already written down. The very existence of laws within a state is already a
Speaker A
contradiction to Sharia. That is why, according to the ideas of Hassan al-Banna and his other followers, the wrong kind of Islam is everywhere in the world today, starting from his native Egypt, continuing through other neighboring Arab countries, and ending
Speaker A
with countries outside the Muslim world . There, an endless Jahiliyyah reigns supreme. I will quote Sayyid Qutb, one of the most important ideologues of the Muslim Brotherhood. The whole world today is in a state of Jahiliyyah. And Jihad against this Jahiliyyah is the
Speaker A
duty of every Muslim. The most famous principle that Hassan promoted is: Islam is the solution. He believed that fundamental Islam and Sharia are the solution to absolutely all political, social, and economic problems. The organization's expansion is happening very quickly. Branches are already
Speaker A
appearing outside of Egypt. But in the fifties, the Egyptian secular-nationalist regime of Nasser perceived the Brotherhood as a threat to Egypt's national security. I met the General Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood and he sat down and made demands. What
Speaker A
did he ask for? The first thing he said to me was that you must enforce the hijab in Egypt. And make every woman who walks in the street wear a headscarf. Every single woman who walks . Yes. And under Nasser, they were
Speaker A
subjected to severe pressure, arrests, and executions. Many of them fled to countries of the Arab world, but even there they were persecuted in Tunisia, Syria, and Iraq. Later, European countries became true islands of salvation: France, Switzerland, Germany , and Great Britain. In these countries
Speaker A
, the dissidents who fled there would soon create their own organizations, which they would disguise as charitable , religious, or social ones. In the nineties, organizations were established in France, Germany, and Great Britain. By the way, the organization "Muslims of Germany"
Speaker A
created in the nineties was eventually recognized as a terrorist group. But they were designated as terrorists in the Arab Emirates, not in Germany, because in Germany such pressure would have been perceived as Islamophobia.
Speaker A
Already in the early 2000s, these organizations began political campaigns . For example, the Muslim Association of Britain held rallies against the invasion of Iraq. On the streets of London, they advocated for Saddam Hussein, and later, naturally, they advocated for Palestine and against
Speaker A
Israel. And this very soft political influence began back then. In 1997, the Intercultural Islamic League was established in Belgium. This is also a branch of the Brotherhood. Syrian activists of the Brotherhood arrived in Spain as early as the 1960s. They used
Speaker A
ordinary student visas, while others simply requested political asylum because they were threatened in their homeland. And that was the truth. They were banned there, they were imprisoned there. And according to the laws of progressive and tolerant Europe, this
Speaker A
is a valid ground for granting asylum. Thus, since the last century, Europe has become a sanctuary for this organization. For the first wave of migrants, Germany was the most popular country. Critics of the Brotherhood believe this is because during World
Speaker A
War II, the Muslim Brotherhood actively assisted Hitler. Obviously, they were united by a certain idea. Plus, Hassan al-Banna is genuinely proven to have admired Adolf Hitler. He liked fascist ideas. He translated Mein Kampf into Arabic. He even sent his delegations to
Speaker A
NSDAP congresses. In addition to Mein Kampf, he promoted other anti-Jewish literature to his supporters, for example, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It is historically proven that Hassan openly sympathized with Hitler.
Speaker A
My personal opinion is that they were never truly sincere allies. They were simply situationally beneficial to each other. It is just that Hassan was against British colonialism and against the Jews, which completely overlapped with Hitler's interests. And they
Speaker A
infiltrated Germany because it was the easiest place to get into. They also arrived in other countries: the Netherlands, France, Belgium, and Great Britain. In addition, actually, the Cold War was going on at that time, and the West was very loyal to those who
Speaker A
opposed the communists. And why did the Muslim Brotherhood oppose them? Because it was an atheistic communist regime.
Speaker A
Yes, despite many similar ideas between communists and the Muslim Brotherhood, the latter did not support communists at all. The Soviet atheistic regime is absolute Jahiliyyah; that is, worse than infidels are only those who believe in no one at all. Yes,
Speaker A
conventional Christians and Jews for Muslims are the People of the Book. But those who do not believe in anything at all, and God forbid, pagans—that is terrifying. These are very bad people.
Speaker A
The USSR did the Muslim Brotherhood a great disservice, because in all countries where there were pro-Soviet national dictators—in Algeria, Egypt, Syria, Yemen—these were all pro-Soviet regimes from which the Brothers were expelled, banned, and designated as terrorists. Therefore, they were against the communists, and
Speaker A
for the West, that was enough. In the 1950s, the US viewed the Brotherhood as a very useful force in the fight against the Egyptian dictator Nasser, who was an ally of the USSR. American diplomats met regularly with Brotherhood leaders, and what's more,
Speaker A
they hosted them at the White House. Under Eisenhower, Said Ramadan had dinner at the White House. This shows once again that the Americans are ready to cooperate with anyone who is beneficial to them at any given moment.
Speaker A
And what happens in the future or in the long term, that does not matter.
Speaker A
Realpolitik, situational gain, and nothing more. One could make a separate film about how, in the fight against the USSR, the West armed future members of Al-Qaeda and ISIS, who are actually linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. They didn't do it on purpose, yes, out of
Speaker A
ignorance, but history does not forgive . For example, the US financed the mujahideen who fought against the USSR, among whom was Abdullah Azzam, the future ideological mentor of bin Laden.
Speaker A
And Azzam himself was a product of the Palestinian cell of the Muslim Brotherhood. Everything is very connected and intertwined. Let’s return to the narrative. In the nineties and early 2000s, a bunch of Muslim Brotherhood members fled to Europe because they were escaping
Speaker A
repression in their own Muslim countries. Their European associations received funding not only from certain loyal Muslim states but also directly from the EU itself. They told Europeans that this money went toward humanitarian aid, language courses, assistance with assimilation, and so on
Speaker A
. Next, they began building mosques, but not ordinary houses where people simply pray. These were educational centers, a kind of madrasa. These mosques, where imams linked to the Muslim Brotherhood work, spread the ideas of Salafist Islam. Over the years
Speaker A
, their funding increased, and they began working within the political spectrum, promoting their candidates in minor municipal elections. Small towns, villages, some lone municipal deputy.
Speaker A
But that is just the beginning. And how do these organizations advance? Through these very mosques and organizations with hundreds of thousands of supporters; it is a huge human capital that can be mobilized for upcoming elections. The Muslim Brotherhood in
Speaker A
Europe understands perfectly well the leftist discourse built on ideas of religious freedom, freedom of speech, anti-racism, and anti-colonialism. And they actively adapt their ideas to this very discourse. And that is how a word like "Islamophobia" appears. And it
Speaker A
appears in order to actively suppress any criticism directed at them, to appeal to it if they are excluded from political or social life, or if they are not being listened to; all such people are labeled Islamophobes. This is oppression, this is discrimination
Speaker A
—these are terrifying things in Europe. And they use this because it works. This term is also a convenient way to neutralize potential audits of their financial transactions. Where they send money, to whom, and what ideas they are promoting. Oh, you're
Speaker A
checking up on us? Well, you're an Islamophobe. Oh, you think our ideas are too radical? You're an Islamophobe.
Speaker A
Often, these organizations position themselves as victims and frequently appeal to the post-colonial complex of Europeans. They use democratic methods to eventually build a caliphate in which democracy is not included, by the way.
Speaker A
This is a call to those who promote democracy in its current form. Of course, I am one of those who say, "Yes , we must use it." But we must also admit that the way it works now is
Speaker A
counterproductive, because democracy gives rise to people like Donald Trump. The point is that, I swear to Allah, we Muslims are the most worthy nation to lead humanity according to divine values. Yes, today is a very convenient moment when millions of people in the
Speaker A
West reflect on the sins of their ancestors and hate and despise their own history. And the Brothers very skillfully use these feelings to promote their people. The Brothers are very smart people. In the largest European cities where pro-Palestinian
Speaker A
rallies took place, the overwhelming number of protesters were not Arabs; they were young Europeans from universities. They are shouting the exact same slogans that motivated Hassan al-Banna to engage in educational activities. But if Hassan began his activity as a defense against
Speaker A
Western British colonialism, then today this movement has become essentially offensive. As you well know, the Hamas organization appeared thanks to the Muslim Brotherhood. Article two of the 1988 charter. Year. Hamas explicitly calls itself a wing of the Palestinian
Speaker A
Muslim Brotherhood. Thus, one can understand that European cells of the Brothers are obviously interested in bringing European youth to pro-Palestinian rallies. This is direct ideological support. The Brothers have been doing this for decades and in far more than one country. October 7 day of
Speaker A
people know. Ok. Ok. What happened on 7 ? You're recording a minor without um unlawfully. In the US, there is an organization called Students for Justice in Palestine. It was created in 1993, and they initially understood the cultural discourse of the US and how to
Speaker A
work with it. The Brothers already understood then that it was possible to mobilize American youth to the streets and represent their interests. It's just important to do this through ideas that are close to them. What kind of ideas exactly? Fighting homophobia,
Speaker A
fighting sexism, fighting colonialism, and, of course, racism. Yes, gentlemen. A phenomenon like "wokeness" is almost an invention of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Speaker A
They were able to convince the queer community and many others that they are victims. Victims of the colonial regimes of the past, especially the British one. Yes, I'm sure you have a dissonance now. How does Salafist conservative Islam even coexist with
Speaker A
LGBT queer activists? It must be understood that the Brothers are not an armed group; they are political Islam.
Speaker A
In politics, you can enter into a coalition with very different forces to pursue a common interest, for both sides. One common enemy: conservative Western society, its values, traditions , morality, and, of course, Christianity. All these endless progressive leftists are nothing more
Speaker A
than temporary tactical allies. But in the long run, you understand what kind of outcome awaits these allies. Let a British blogger of Somali descent, who was educated in Manchester, for a second, tell you about this outcome.
Speaker A
If I were Prime Minister, my police would round up gays. Such a person would be put on trial. And if there is proof that he is a homosexual, I would immediately order my executioners to take him away and get rid of him.
Speaker A
And what about stoning women? 100 percent. People don't understand that this applies not only to women, but to men as well.
Speaker A
Today, the Brothers understand that they are not yet in a position to be picky about their allies. They are not yet powerful enough to wage a cultural jihad on their own. And this is not just my personal assumption.
Speaker A
Representatives of the Brothers explicitly call for collaborating with anyone just to increase their influence . Even though democratic elections contradict Sharia, the Brothers 'imams call for participating in them because it is part of the political struggle.
Speaker A
con There are not even dozens, but hundreds of student organizations like Students for Justice in Palestine all over the world. For example, the Palestine Committee, created in 1988 in the USA. Their goal was literally to support Hamas. Later, the Holy Land
Speaker A
Foundation emerged from this group. And in 2008, a US investigation found that this organization had transferred $ 13 million to Hamas. It is important that initially they were not presented as military funds. These were always charitable organizations engaged in
Speaker A
humanitarian aid and educational activities within the West. And this was all in the USA. In Europe, there are dozens of these organizations today , and literally any investigation against them ends in accusations of Islamophobia. This term, which is
Speaker A
extremely sensitive for Westerners, has become the Brothers' main weapon against any criticism of their activities. But for them, Hamas is just a tactical tool. This is just one of the fronts. The global goal is a world caliphate. Al-Banna clearly stated:
Speaker A
Allah is our goal, the Prophet is our leader, the Quran is our constitution, Jihad is our path, and death in the name of Allah is our highest hope. The spiritual leaders of this movement do not hide the fact that the struggle
Speaker A
will be very long, complex, and last nearly 100 years. Yes, they admit that it will be long, hard work.
Speaker A
Our perception of the Muslim Brotherhood differs from how they are seen in the West or in America, right?
Speaker A
There, they position themselves as liberals. It is enough to look at the demonstrations in which they participate. What you see there is not at all what we see here in the Middle East. But as soon as you face reality,
Speaker A
it turns out that they don't recognize the nation-state, government institutions, or even borders themselves. No, in their understanding, there is no separate state. For them, the entire earth is their state; their goal is global, global domination. One of the key figures of the Brotherhood,
Speaker A
on par with Al-Banna, is Yusuf al-Qaradawi. He was the spiritual leader of the Brotherhood from 1990 until 2022, right up until his death.
Speaker A
Al-Qaradawi promoted Wasatiyyah. It translates to the middle path—the very moderate political Islam through structures, foundations, universities, parliaments, and so on, without radicalism. And, by the way, that is precisely what he was criticized for in many Islamic circles: that he wasn't
Speaker A
hardline enough, he was moderate, and that proved its effectiveness. As part of the Wasatiyyah idea, Al-Qaradawi issued fatwas allowing Muslims to take out mortgages, remove the hijab, and participate in elections. In 2010, he issued a fatwa allowing women to sing,
Speaker A
provided it does not provoke other men. This caused such a scandal among other Islamic preachers because it was, well, way too progressive. But in some things , Yusuf was not moderate at all. He actively and repeatedly supported Hamas
Speaker A
suicide bombers. And it was thanks to him that they started using women for these purposes, even though they were hesitant for a long time because even for Hamas, it was too much. Here is how that fatwa sounded. When an enemy
Speaker A
occupies Muslim territory, a woman has the right to participate in jihad, alongside men. Following this fatwa by Al-Qaradawi, which essentially provided a religious justification for female jihad, a Palestinian woman named Reem Saleh blew herself up at the Erez
Speaker A
crossing in January 2004, killing four Israeli soldiers. Once again, before this fatwa, Hamas did not use women in jihad. Al-Qaradawi was very controversial. On one hand, his fatwas were extremely radical, like this one.
Speaker A
On the other hand, he allowed the consumption of alcohol. He allowed Muslims to celebrate Christmas with their friends. As you can understand, he had many critics among his own people. In reality, with these liberal fatwas, he was building a facade of
Speaker A
moderation that hid the ultimate goal. Sharia. Yusuf was born in Egypt but was expelled for his views, and he found refuge in Qatar. The Muslim Brotherhood gets money from many places, but the biggest benefactor is Qatar itself.
Speaker A
Despite the fact that Qatar tries to be like the UAE—a country open to the world, hosting cultural events, world football, and open to tourism—the country has become a safe haven for the most radical groups. And that is precisely why, in 2017, the Arab world
Speaker A
declared a boycott on Qatar and effectively imposed a blockade. The official position of Qatar: We do not support anyone. Yes, we have a Hamas political office, but that’s because the U.S. asked us to host it to provide a platform for negotiations. And we
Speaker A
don’t recognize the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorists because, well , they haven’t done anything wrong to us. That very same Yusuf flees to Qatar and starts teaching at a local university. Later, Qatar becomes a hub where all the dissidents from the
Speaker A
region flock. After the crackdown on Islamists in Egypt, it is Qatar that becomes the place they flee to for safety. It’s no coincidence that when Mohamed Morsi, who was directly linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, was in power in Egypt, Doha provided him with $ 7
Speaker A
billion in aid. The Qatar Charity foundation funded over 138 mosque and Islamic center projects around the world, most of which were directly linked to the Brotherhood. Qatari banks , including Al Rayan Bank, were implicated in financing these structures. It is truly interesting
Speaker A
that today’s Qatar, which seemingly is opening up to the world, is actively liberalizing its laws and actively cooperating with the Western world, including in the military sphere. The largest American military base in the Middle East is located there. And at
Speaker A
the same time, Qatar has become the home of the Muslim Brotherhood. It is one of the main sponsors of Western universities where the interests of those very Brothers are being actively promoted—universities from which their neighbors in the Arab Emirates
Speaker A
are evacuating their citizens, fearing their radicalization. There is the Al Jazeera television channel. It was established in 1996. It is fully funded by the government of Qatar. Officially, they position themselves as the independent voice of the Arab world.
Speaker A
Look, their reports are quite good in places, they are even worth reading, but only up until the moment Qatar's political interests are involved. At such moments, the independent voice turns into a loud mouthpiece for Qatari propaganda. For example, the Al Jazeera
Speaker A
platform regularly provides airtime to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. Yusuf had a weekly program called "Sharia and Life." It was watched by tens of millions of people around the world. On this show, he supported the armed resistance of Hamas, supported attacks
Speaker A
on Israel, criticized secular regimes, and generally promoted other political narratives of the Brothers. Many hadiths have reached us, and we are not talking about one, two, or even three accounts. There is a whole series of traditions from the companions that
Speaker A
indicate that an apostate must be put to death. The Hadith of Ibn Abbas. Whoever changes his religion, kill him.
Speaker A
I should remind you that in Sufi circles, al-Qaradawi is criticized for being overly liberal.
Speaker A
Europe has suffered enough from the dominance of materialism, from this pernicious philosophy of permissiveness and total immorality that today rules the entire world, where everything is subordinated only to the thirst for profit and base pleasures. The time has
Speaker A
come for it to finally wake up from this sleep and start looking for a way out, some completely different new path . And in this world, she simply will not be able to find any other lifebuoy for herself, except in sacred Islam.
Speaker A
After all, only Islam is capable of protecting and saving her from this all-consuming and soul-burning materialism, as well as from that deep depravity in which men enter into relations with men, and women with women.
Speaker A
In my humble view, Europe deserved a more tolerant attitude from the Brothers, as it became the only place where they could flee when they were being persecuted. But instead of gratitude, the Brothers perceived this kindness as weakness, and European
Speaker A
religious freedom as a buffer for their own capabilities. Therefore, reforms are clearly not the way out. The way out is Islam. So let us build now, let us develop Islamic movements and call America to Islam.
Speaker A
That is our mission. Extending the freedoms of Western society to the Muslim Brotherhood allowed them to engage in the very things for which they were expelled from their homelands . Having gained even the slightest influence, they immediately began
Speaker A
lobbying for their vision of the world. Politico writes: "Organizations linked to the Brotherhood have tried to push Brussels to criminalize blasphemy and promote ideas that contradict the strict French model of a secular state, which guarantees both freedom of
Speaker A
religion and freedom from religion." This means that these cells are gradually beginning to encroach upon the pillars on which Western society stands. Among the organizations in question were the Council of European Muslims and the Forum of European Muslim Youth and Student Organizations
Speaker A
(FEMYSO). The FEMYSO organization, directly linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, held an event in 2021 with the support of the Council of Europe.
Speaker A
It was called "Beauty in Diversity," featuring the slogan "Freedom in a hijab." This was a campaign aimed at promoting the wearing of the hijab in Europe. In France, this campaign caused a huge scandal. The organizers were accused of spreading Islamism, and the
Speaker A
posters were removed. And the members of the organization, naturally, called all this resistance Islamophobia. The Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe was established in 1998 in Brussels. The structure unites dozens of member organizations and spokespeople for the Brothers across
Speaker A
Europe. Before you now is a detailed diagram of the interconnections. There are an endless number of these organizations in Europe. The European Institute of Human Sciences, the British charity Islamic Relief Worldwide, and an organization called the European Network Against Racism.
Speaker A
Its former director publicly admitted that he had joined the Muslim Brotherhood, but later left them. I am sure that you have already forgotten the names of all these structures I have mentioned. That is normal. There are indeed dozens of them, and no one
Speaker A
really talks about them publicly. The UAE authorities became particularly concerned about Queen Mary University of London. Investigations proved a massive prevalence of Muslim Brotherhood members in student organizations and among the teaching staff. Preachers regularly came to the university for lectures, speaking about
Speaker A
jihad, the death of infidels, and the death of democracy. Mohammed Hijab, a well-known 34-year-old British blogger and preacher, is a graduate of this very university. And this is what he was taught there. Je ches around you, around you are Christians until...
Speaker A
that's already known, Islam allows and how the essence of that is in the three options that they are given: either you give the Jizya or you do this or you do that to keep fighting, fighting the Christians and Jews until they give. So
Speaker A
it's compelling them to give Jizya, forcing people to become Muslim if you ally with the disbelievers in any any way, shape or form, if you ally with the disbeliever you are a disbeliever, you are a disbeliever because you are
Speaker A
allying yourself with a disbelieving nation who do not believe in the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), heed what would be considered in a sense a war cult, a death cult, and that he spread Islam in this. The
Speaker A
Brotherhood began to infiltrate Great Britain in the fifties through the seventies via students and political refugees from Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and other countries. In ninety-seven, they established the Muslim Association of Britain. They spoke at rallies against the invasion of Iraq. Even back then,
Speaker A
they were a notable political force. The Muslim Brotherhood has a giant influence not only on the educational sphere of Great Britain, but also on the political one. They have enough weight, they have enough supporters to be able to promote their own political
Speaker A
forces in many ways. That is precisely why Great Britain today is not in a hurry to declare sanctions on Iran. The power of the Brothers in Great Britain today is so great that it influences not only their domestic policy, but
Speaker A
also their foreign policy. Recognizing them as terrorists today in this country is a giant political risk. By the way, just so you know, this mass uncontrolled immigration by boat to the British Isles completely suits the Muslim Brotherhood. This is their
Speaker A
future electorate. Therefore, local politicians, who must already take this opinion into account, are in no hurry to close this leaky border. Despite the mass nature of the Muslim Brotherhood organization, they do not have full power anywhere. Yes, they have their
Speaker A
own local deputies in different countries: mayors, university professors, imams, but not prime ministers or presidents. Even loyal monarchs from the Persian Gulf countries, who shower the brothers with money, are more likely using the brothers than the brothers are
Speaker A
controlling them. As of today, the only triumph of the brothers, albeit short-lived, occurred in their native Egypt. In 2012, something they had been working toward for 84 years finally happened. The Brotherhood's candidate, Mohamed Morsi, became president of Egypt. It was truly a real triumph. An
Speaker A
organization that was born under the British monarchy, that survived prisons and executions under Nasser. They survived repression under Presidents Sadat and Mubarak. That is to say, there was repression under literally every Egyptian president. And they finally came to power after the
Speaker A
revolution of 2011. However, they were not the ones who carried out the revolution in Egypt. They simply took advantage of a power vacuum at the right time. This vacuum emerged after the resignation of Hosni Mubarak, who had ruled Egypt for 30 years. But the
Speaker A
Brothers didn't last long, because Morsi's attempts to monopolize power met with a harsh backlash from the remnants of Mubarak's old regime. Just a year later, the army overthrew Morsi, and the current president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, came to power. And one of the
Speaker A
first decisions he made was to resume repressions against the Muslim Brotherhood. Many leaders of this organization had managed to return to their homeland in Egypt during Morsi's year in power, but now they had to flee in a hurry again. And importantly, this
Speaker A
time the capital of this exile was not Qatar, but Istanbul. Turkish TV channels and newspapers became platforms for the new Egyptian opposition. Turkey had its own reasons for this, starting with the fact that the party of the current president has,
Speaker A
if not a direct, then a close relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood. This is a topic for a separate video. The main thing is that the Muslim Brotherhood is Erdogan's political lever, which he used to pressure Egypt. And at the moment when
Speaker A
the Egyptian regime recently began to move closer to the Turkish one, Turkey quickly began to pressure the Muslim Brotherhood itself, calling for them to tone down their rhetoric against the Egyptian regime, or else face deportation back home. Thus, it turns
Speaker A
out that while some Muslim countries fight them, or use them as a political tool, keeping them on a tight, thorny leash, as Erdogan does, only Europe and the United States provide them with a full-fledged platform for work and
Speaker A
grant them access to their electoral systems. They provide them with the benefits of free speech. And, of course , they provide them with political asylum. My video was not a research report. It was a short introduction to a topic that is completely ignored in
Speaker A
Europe today. It just so happens that the Western free liberal world is very vulnerable because it provides tools that, if used, can not only destroy it but at least severely undermine it, as has already happened today in the UK. A
Speaker A
conditional ban on the organization in Europe will not solve anything. This association has no headquarters, no single specific leader, and no single bank account. It is not an organization in the pure sense; it is a movement, an idea. An idea that has grown thanks to
Speaker A
European freedom. Hundreds of thousands of students across Europe have already received an education at universities where the Brotherhood had influence. A small portion of them are future politicians; the majority of them are future voters. The West has proven the
Speaker A
validity of a famous phrase: "The wider your arms are spread, the easier it is to crucify you."
