The European Parliament has approved a resolution condemning the Muslim Brotherhood and calling for stronger action against Islamist influence in European institutions. The resolution is a significant development in the continent’s efforts to combat political extremism.
The center-right European People’s Party spearheaded the resolution, which follows the Trump administration’s designation of the Muslim Brotherhood and four affiliated branches as terrorist organizations.
French European Parliament member Céline Imart, who sponsored the measure, celebrated the vote as a breakthrough.
“This is a historic victory because it is a European first,” Imart said, describing the resolution as Europe’s first parliamentary action specifically confronting Islamist infiltration and the Muslim Brotherhood.
The resolution warns that organized Islamist networks threaten democratic institutions, religious freedoms, the rule of law and equality between men and women.
It calls for greater scrutiny of foreign funding, particularly involving organizations connected to Qatar and Turkey, and increased transparency surrounding European Union funding of groups suspected of Muslim Brotherhood ties.
Lawmakers also urged the European Council to consider whether Brotherhood-linked individuals and organizations should be added to the EU’s terrorist list.
