Journalist Warns Senate: Muslim Brotherhood Infiltrating French Islamic Organizations

The journalist, Zineb El Rhazoui, heard by the Senate inquiry commission on Islamic radicalization, felt that the terrorist organization "the Muslim Brotherhood" is indeed at the gates of power.
The human rights activist did not stroke the Muslim Association for an Islam of France (AMIF) in the right direction. She strongly criticized it, arguing that it is infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood. According to the journalist, the AMIF, as the representative body of Islam in France, will generate something unmanageable.
Known for her very critical remarks against Islam, Zineb El Rhazoui denounced "an infiltration into French society and the highest authorities by the Muslim Brotherhood". "I do not hesitate to say it: the Muslim Brotherhood is at the gates of power," she argues.
According to the former Charlie Hebdo collaborator, members of the AMIF have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and want to apply a sharia (from Youssef al-Qaradâwî, theologian of the Muslim Brotherhood, editor’s note) specially dedicated to Muslim minorities in the West.
"What does this sharia say? Let’s infiltrate, train elites, don’t necessarily clash on the veil. Things will be done in stages [...] The most important thing is to mark the imprint of Islam on all institutions [...], to train elites who place the ideology of Islamism above republican values, while integrating these republican values," she recalls. The essayist also believes that it would be a very big historical mistake to hand over French Muslims to the AMIF, before adding that this association of "clergy, endorsed by the Republic, will be able to issue fatwas".
