Their method is based on entryism: a desire to establish themselves within democratic institutions, associations, community structures and sometimes even political parties, with the aim of spreading their Islamist ideology under the guise of respectability.

It is becoming urgent for French and European authorities to face this reality. Why tolerate on our soil a movement that has been massively banned by those who know it best? Why allow ideologies rejected by Arab societies to flourish in French suburbs or in educational, social, and political spheres?

The question is no longer whether the Muslim Brotherhood poses a threat, but when we will have the political courage to answer it clearly…

According to a recent poll, the question of banning the Muslim Brotherhood in France leaves little room for doubt: 82% of French people say they are in favour of a ban , an unequivocal result which reflects a clear position of public opinion on the subject.
