ISGAP has released a report detailing the Muslim Brotherhood’s infiltration into various sectors of Canadian society, including civil service, higher education, and community organizations. This follows a similar report issued earlier this year regarding the Brotherhood’s influence in the United States, which resulted in the designation of its Egyptian, Jordanian, and Lebanese branches as terrorist entities. The report characterizes the Brotherhood as a global insurrection movement aiming to dismantle democratic nations and establish a caliphate. Founded in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna in Egypt, the Brotherhood operates under a doctrine that promotes institutional entrenchment, with a strategic aim to influence societies worldwide. Additionally, the report discusses the financial support from Qatar to universities, which has been linked to increased antisemitic incidents on campuses.
Why It Matters
The Muslim Brotherhood’s history dates back to its founding in 1928, and it has since evolved into a significant global force. Its strategies, outlined in a 1991 Explanatory Memorandum, aim to undermine Western civilization through a long-term plan that has been underway for over four decades. Qatar’s support for the Brotherhood and its affiliates, including Hamas, has raised concerns regarding the funding and influence of extremist ideologies in Western institutions. Documented financial flows from Qatar to American universities have been linked to an uptick in antisemitism, illustrating the broader implications of foreign funding in domestic academic environments.
