This is a major move that, if the French follow through, could lead to other countries cracking down on the Muslim Brotherhood. Yusuf al-Qaradawi is recognized as a key Muslim Brotherhood leader and ideologue. Al Arabiya called him “the top advocate of suicide bombings.” Jihad Watch has written a great deal about him HERE.
“While the Muslim Brotherhood exploits feelings of victimisation and inequality, it also seeks to recruit elite followers who can exert powerful influence over state-backed bodies.”
“Ban on Qaradawi urged by French commission into Islamist radicalisation,” by Damien McElroy, The National, July 21, 2020:
A French commission of inquiry has called for the leading Muslim Brotherhood ideologue Yusuf Al Qaradawi and his supporters to be barred from France, as it puts forward recommendations to reduce the group’s influence.
The 44 recommendations in the report on Islamist radicalisation, presented to the French Senate, addressed the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategy of infiltration to control organisations, societies and even state-funded institutions such as schools.
The second-largest faith in France was not the focus of the report. It said it insisted on making a distinction from the ideology of “l’islamisme” as its central challenge.
“Islamist radicalisation is driven in particular by a political project, ‘Islamism’, supported by states, groups or individuals,” it said.
The growth of the Muslim Brotherhood, which was believed to control about 150 French mosques and hundreds of other institutions, posed a particular threat.
It said the group drew support from Qatar and Turkey as it expanded its activities.
The recommendation under the headline “Know, Track and Avoid the Activities of Radical Islam” related to Al Qaradawi in Doha.
“To fight against the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood, there should be a review by the minister of the interior of the possibility of pronouncing an administrative ban on territory against Yusuf Al Qaradawi and the ideologists of this movement,” it said.
The ban would severely limit the activities of those deemed to be working with Al Qaradawi and allow restrictions against the publication of his writings.
Author and witness Emmanuel Razavi, said action would have to go wider than the Muslim Brotherhood leadership to address community groups under its control.
“I am not a legislator but we must start by closing the 600 associations under the 1901 law linked to the Muslim Brotherhood in France, which form the other end of the terrorist chain,” Mr Razavi said.
French President Emmanuel Macron has said a major policy initiative is in the works to ensure that France is not divided between communities, where some segments of society become closed off from the mainstream.
While the Muslim Brotherhood exploits feelings of victimisation and inequality, it also seeks to recruit elite followers who can exert powerful influence over state-backed bodies…..

Never could understand these elderly “clerics” who urged younger zombies to be suicide bombers.
Surely these sickos who preach that paradise is assured would be the first to don the vests. After all at their age they ” are nearer thy allah than thee”

How pathetic is it when the French need a “commission” to work out that recruiters, financiers and members of a terrorist group who want to destroy their country and way of life, need to be banned from coming in?
Arrest them as soon as soon as they shove their noses out of whatever mansion it is they are hiding in. Or better yet, bomb them back into the stone age where they came from. But a commission???
This is why France, the once United Kingdom and a lot of other countries are on a slide into slavery at the hands of these barbarians. Nobody has the balls to take direct action in case they are seen as being “racist or Islamophobic”.
Sickens me.
Kesselman says
The French initiative is somehow futile. Look at the unstoppable Hijrah, Muslim emigration to spread Islam, the native Europeans are experiencing now. Muslims by the millions are embedded everywhere in Europe, wreaking havoc daily. Other more severe steps need to be taken.

I’ll take any good news. Of course this is not enough by itself to save France.
Giacomo Latta says
The first thing this commission can do is to suggest that the French government block all foreign funds and foreign muslim leaders from entering the country. When muslim countries allow the free expression of proponents of Christianity and democracy then we can be equally as generous. As far as war procedures go, a country that does not allow itself to use the same as those of its enemies is quickly headed for defeat.

Don’t stop with Yusuf al-Qaradawi. All the Muslim Brotherhood front organizations are subversive.

Thats a good start, the M.B. should be on the world terrorist organization list.
