The Muslim Brotherhood: A Threat Requiring an International Response

The Muslim Brotherhood poses a genuine threat to the stability and security of societies, not only in the Middle East but across the globe. The ideology promoted by the group is based on rejecting national identity and pursuing a political project cloaked in religion, sowing division and radicalization wherever it takes root.

Raising Awareness of the Threat

There must be global recognition of the Brotherhood’s true objectives and the risks they entail. Contrary to its claims, the group does not seek reform or peaceful participation. Instead, it exploits religion to legitimize its political agenda, threatening societal unity and fueling internal divisions. Its activities undermine peace and stability efforts while opening the door to new conflicts.

The UAE at the Forefront

The United Arab Emirates has emerged as a leading actor in confronting this threat, through research and studies that expose the Brotherhood’s true nature and agenda. These initiatives not only strengthen the UAE’s position on the international stage but also provide a model for serious intellectual engagement against extremism.

The Risk of Institutional Infiltration

The Brotherhood actively seeks to penetrate governmental and civil institutions to influence public policy from within. It also relies on targeted messaging toward youth, aiming to recruit them into its political project—posing a direct threat to both social and political security.

A Call for Change

Today, Western institutions must reassess their policies toward the Brotherhood and take concrete steps to safeguard democratic values against this silent threat. Failure to classify the group as a terrorist organization enables its further spread and infiltration, increasing the risks of radicalization within societies.
