Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Qatar and Turkey bankrolling Muslim Brotherhood networks across Europe, including Muslim Council of Britain

Oct 3, 2020 3:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 14 Comments

The report found “multiple links between a range of bodies that could be traced back to common front organisations” which are linked to the Muslim Brotherhood and “are concerned with Palestine. This cluster includes the Muslim Association of Britain.”

Meanwhile, the Muslim Council of Britain itself has been busy urging investigations into the Conservative Party for “Islamophobia” — a term intentionally used to shut down all criticism and offense to Islam.

There is much more to this as well. Last year it emerged that “the head of a Qatari charity that founded a website instructing Muslims to hate Jews and Christians is behind more than £28.2 million in donations given to a UK benevolent fund.”

More on this story. “Qatari and Turkish support for Muslim Brotherhood networks exposed in 100-page report,” by Damien McElroy, The National, September 30, 2020:

A leading British think tank has concluded that Qatar and Turkey are bankrolling and supporting an interlinked network of Muslim Brotherhood organisations across Europe.

A report from the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation at King’s College London titled The Islamic Movement in Britain, said Doha’s funds flowed through Qatar Charity to bodies based in Britain and elsewhere. Some of the recipients looked to Qatar based figures like Yusuf Al Qaradawi for ideological leadership.

Alongside this there has been a steady expansion of the Turkish presence across the network.

“Through Qatar Charity, Doha has spent vast sums of money on European Brotherhood‐associated projects,” it said. “A review of these projects allows a glimpse not just of the extent to which Qatar is funding Islam in Britain and the rest of Europe, but also of how British, European and Qatari organisations are interlinked through their partnerships and the multiple roles of some of their key staff. Another important player on the world stage for the Islamic Movement, an ally of Qatar, is Turkey.”

The report found multiple links between a range of bodies that could be traced back to common front organisations.

“There is a cluster of groups, for example, most of which have their origins in the Muslim Brotherhood and which are concerned with Palestine. This cluster includes the Muslim Association of Britain, the British Muslim Initiative, Muslim Welfare House, the European Institute for the Human Sciences, the Cordoba Foundation, the Palestinian Return Centre, and the Palestinian Relief and Development Fund (Interpal),” it said. “Another cluster, which overlaps with this, includes Muslim charities, such as Muslim Aid, Muslim Hands, Human Appeal, Education Aid for Palestinians, and Islamic Relief. It is difficult to explore every connection in every cluster, but there are several key nodes in the network worth exploring that demonstrate the complex and intricate links that comprise it.”

The report went on to say that the most significant cluster of connections in the network could be traced to the Muslim Council of Britain.

“The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) is arguably the key node in the network of the Islamic Movement in Britain,” it said. “MCB is no longer the government’s sole consultative partner regarding Muslim matters, and polls have revealed meagre support from British Muslims, undermining its image as the voice of “the Muslim community”.

“However, it might be said – as has been suggested of its precursor organisation – that its primary function is “not to act as democratic representatives of Britain’s Muslims, but to influence government policy”.

The King’s College study said there were international connections between British-based individuals around Europe….

          I wish they would change the names from Muslim council or association of Britain to council or association of Muslims living in Britain because it sounds as if they think they belong here.

          “….it sounds as if they think they belong here…..”

          More like it sounds like they think they’ve got some right to run the place since they appear to be increasingly presuming the function of some kind of (unelected) Government advisory body – with far too much to say for itself. Next they’ll be demanding seats in the House of Lords alongside the Bishops. The fact that the MCB is getting all this funding from dubious places like Qatar explains their pompous arrogance and seems to confirm suspicions of gross foreign interference in the UK’s internal affairs as exemplified by the inexplicable and totally unjustified preferential treatment given to muslims and – much more sinister – the now very, very obvious corresponding official hounding of the British citizens who oppose islam. It’s about time the public was told the extent of this sort of corruption in the UK establishment and exactly where it’s coming from.

    The fear of being seen as incompetent sometimes butts heads with the fear of being seen as intolerant. Both of these irrational fears create roads for Islamists, who are very intolerant but slightly more competent, to enter and exploit the minds of these ridiculously image conscious fools. Did they fail to do their job because of incompetence or the fear of being “falsely” accused of intolerance? In summary, are they stupid and racist or both?

    There are so many reports of Turkey aiding and abetting islamic terrorist groups and the islamization of the West in general, but nothing ever gets done. At most, some “disappointed” comments from some Western politicians is the harshest reaction Turkey gets. No wonder Turkey grows bolder in their transgressions by the day.

    Also, I’ve been saying it for years, but it is safe to assume that all “charities” and “humanitarian NGOs” with muslim names that are based in the West are terror funding fronts. Just take a look at these groups’ names:

    Muslim Welfare House
    Palestinian Return Centre
    Palestinian Relief and Development Fund
    Muslim Aid
    Muslim Hands
    Human Appeal
    Education Aid for Palestinians
    Islamic Relief

    They are designed to make you feel empathy towards these “poor, oppressed” muslims, and that not giving them your hard-earned money is the same thing as killing them yourself, you racist islamophobic bigot! You have to be clueless and self-hating to the extreme to donate to any of those groups, Unfortunately, the West is full of them — they’re called leftists. No wonder islam is thriving in Western countries. Sad, really.

    It is the Conservative Party that should be investigating Islam and the Moslem Brotherhood, and not the other way around !

    But of course they won’t, it would be “islamophobic”, they prefer to wait until Islam takes over.

    If the UK resembles Canada with respect to Islamodollars then roughly one-half of muslim organizations are considered sponsors of terrorism and are not allowed to receive or send money from outside the country. And yet the other half, some with the same name with the phrase ”charitable foundation” attached, are allowed all they want. The good news: our governments are 50% smart; the bad news: 100% smart seems a long way off.
