A group of civil society organisations has strongly condemned a European Parliament resolution that calls for a European Union strategy to “counter Islamist entryism” and links youth and activist groups to the Muslim Brotherhood without evidence.

On Thursday, the European Parliament, one of the EU’s two legislative bodies, debated “the need for an EU strategy to counter Islamist entryism and the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood network”.

The parliament passed a resolution by 381 votes to 167, urging EU countries to provide information to help assess whether individuals and organisations supposedly linked to the Muslim Brotherhood and “affiliated networks” meet the criteria for terrorist designation.

Led by an alliance of MEPs from the far right and centre right, including the European People’s Party and Renew, the 10-page resolution calls on the European Commission to provide a “comprehensive overview” of all EU funds delivered to entities accused of being affiliated with the Brotherhood.

    So much talk about Islamism. Are you going to say anything about “Jewism” as well, or is that something that would get you arrested in Europe?

    Even in this period of time where Jewish supremacism is an actual threat, you’re still removed about “Islamism” using isolated terrorist attacks as an excuse just like a Trump supporter.

    But yes, we are the fascists. What a sorry person you are.

      Here in quebec province we elected a far right disguised as a centrist who went to an Zionist organization to accuse the muslim brotherhood to take over the country . The rhetoric is a far right rhetoric similar to the rhetoric against jews in Nazi Germany
