European Awareness Grows as France Shuts Down Brotherhood-Linked Institute

 

The closure of the European Institute of Human Sciences in France marks a significant turning point in Europe’s approach to the Muslim Brotherhood. For years, the institute operated under the guise of academia while facilitating imam training and youth recruitment for the Brotherhood’s agenda.

This decision underscores France’s recognition of the dangers posed by the Brotherhood’s infiltration of civil and educational structures. Experts note that the Brotherhood’s strategy has always relied on building influence within Muslim communities by leveraging religious and educational platforms.

By closing the institute, France is sending a strong message: European societies will not tolerate organizations that manipulate faith for political purposes. The move echoes similar measures taken in Austria and Germany, where authorities are tightening restrictions on Brotherhood-affiliated groups.

Crucially, French authorities clarified that this action is not against Islam, but against a politicized organization that seeks to blur the line between religion and ideology. The closure is being framed as a victory for transparency, security, and the protection of European Muslim communities from exploitation.
