What has been described as a “bombshell report” on the Muslim Brotherhood was published in late May by the French Ministry of the Interior. It was the fruit of a long investigation by members of the French intelligence services, and drew as well on the expertise of people in the military, the police, and universities, who collaborated in unearthing and tracking the extensive efforts made by the Muslim Brotherhood in France over several decades to infiltrate into every institution, including schools, universities, the police, local governments, as well as the media at every level and on every platform. Most of the French were thunderstruck at the findings. But on the far left, as exemplified by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, head of the political party La France Insoumise (LFI), there was only anger and disbelief. For the left, all this fuss about the Muslim Brotherhood was hysterical nonsense, designed to whip up “Islamophobia.”
The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, dismissed the report not as a lie, as Mélenchon did, but as a “conspiratorial or paranoic” fantasy. He was thus attempting to undermine the findings of his own intelligence service. Why he believes that he has suddenly become such an expert on Islam in France, , someone who knows better than the French intelligence officers who helped prepare the study, is unknown. More on Macron’s attempt to minimize a problem that he has no idea how to handle, can be found here: “Macron Warns of ‘Conspiratorial or Paranoid’ Claims About Muslim Brotherhood Infiltration in Europe,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, May 27, 2025:
French President Emmanuel Macron has attempted to downplay the significance of the explosive report from his own government detailing the infiltration of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood in France and throughout Europe, warning against the spread of so-called conspiracy theories.
Last week, an intelligence report published by the French Interior Ministry quite literally alleged a decades-long conspiracy by the Muslim Brotherhood to develop an effective fifth column across Europe by entering EU institutions and gaining sway over Islamic associations and Muslim migrant communities with the explicit aim of instituting Sharia law in the West.
However, on Monday, President Macron attempted to downplay the scale of the issues raised by the report, which sent shockwaves throughout the continent.
In comments reported by Le Figaro, Macron acknowledged that the Muslim Brotherhood infiltration has been identified in “some neighbourhoods”, but said that the public “shouldn’t think that they are everywhere, because that can make you conspiratorial or paranoid.”
The report does not claim that the Muslim Brotherhood members are “everywhere.” It does claim that the MB is carrying on a sustained campaign to place its members in a great many positions, and in a great many areas of the country. Macron is accusing the authors of the report of making a claim that they did not, in fact make.
The statement from the French president, who reportedly urged against the publication of the bombshell report, appears to be more in line with those made by the Islamist-aligned far-left than those from his own government.
Not only did Macron belittle the report in order to calm the public down — a public that can only act to defend itself against the forces of Islam inside France if it is sufficiently informed — but he had tried to stop this report by the French intelligence services from being published. Fortunately, the Defense Minister refused to accommodate him.
Indeed, the leader of the leftist La France Insoumise (France in Revolt/LFI) party, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, has branded the report itself as being “Islamophobic” and full of “conspiracy theories” from the so-called far-right. The report had noted that the Muslim Brotherhood explicitly uses campaigns against “Islamophobia” to marshal support and gain legitimacy in the public sphere, including by garnering support from the left.
Undeterred, Mélenchon went on to compare the warnings about radical Islam’s influence on European politics to antisemitism in the lead up to the Second World War, writing that “after ‘the Jewish plot’ of the 1930s, here is the ‘Muslim plot’.”
There was, even the antisemitic Mélenchon admits, never a “plot” by Jews — you know the protocols-of-the-elders kind, where Jews are accused of controlling the “world’s banks” or the “world’s media” or the “world’s politicians.” But there is a mountain of evidence that some Muslims are indeed plotting to increase their power in European countries, including France. They are acting on what the Qur’an and hadith teach them. Muslims are “the best of peoples” (3:110) while non-Muslims are “the most vile of created beings.”(98:6). Islam is “to dominate and not be dominated.” Muslims have a duty to spread Islam all over the globe. This goal is not the product of a feverish Islamophobic brain. It is an unhappy truth that many non-Muslims have difficulty accepting, because of what then should follow – a campaign to minimize the Muslim presence, and Muslim power, in every country where Islam does not yet prevail.

He wouldn’t have grabbed her by the p**** now, would he?

His nose was coverd in white powder . . .

Maybe she got fed-up of his extreme Islamopandering.

Don’t know but I do know that he had really nice shiner on his right eye…..
somehistory says
See a termite, or a roach, or a mouse? See the mb?
The Egyptian government had banned the mb until bo went there to give a speech about the great wonders of islime and insisted that the mb be present in the front row to hear him. And then he sent shrillary down to help the mb cheat their way to victory, taking over the entire Egyptian government for a time.
If back when clinton was president, someone had investigated and said that was likely, it probably would have earned the “conspiracy theory” title which shrillary later claimed was “vast.”
They like to throw that term around as it makes the uninformed, skeptical and to remain uninformed.
Why is macron fighting the Truth?

Both the report and the wilful rejection of it is typical of what we are seeing all over the west. The left, which is significantly antisemitic, are willing to sell their souls to destroy democracy and the Jews. The Pakistani rape gangs in the UK are protected by central and local politicians as well as the police and judiciary and no matter how much evidence is brought to bear the main stream media call it a right smear campaign.
Rick Gordon says
The last paragraph says it all – the fools of western civilization who think that others, ie. the Muslim Brand their ilk follow a moral code similar to ours – are doomed –
Perhaps not in this generation but surely in the next if we don’t change our present course.
James Lincoln says
Now…
The Trump administration needs to appoint a special “blue-ribbon panel” to prepare a comprehensive report on the ongoing activities of the muslim brotherhood in the United States.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Except that the administration has embraced every entity that supports the muslim brotherhood – Turkey, Qatar, Syria (?),…. While Trump policies have been known to change, I don’t see the muslim brotherhood being blacklisted anytime soon
James Lincoln says
Likely so, Infidel.
Tragic.
somehistory says
James, they could just ask cair, the msa, ratshida tlaib, ilhan elmi (alias omar), keith ellison “what’s up with the brotherhood?” and see what kind of answers they get.
If Trump is told…”nothing”….we’ll know even if he doesn’t.
Puck says
Macron wouldn’t be in the bag now, wouldn’t he? It’s happened before with French presidents…

Gary Lawrence says
The only thing I have to say to Macron and Mélenchon is you had better wake up and realize the existential threat and danger that is posed by the Muslim Brotherhood. The fact that you turn a blind eye or deny the findings shows how inept that you both are. The French citizens deserve the truth and must be kept informed. If you wait to deal with the problem than you will pay a high price in both blood 🩸 and property damage. There is no place on this planet for Radical Islam period and the Muslim countries must must understand and accept the fact that if you move to a Christian based nation, one that has law’s then you must integrate into that society and abide by their law’s. If you can’t do that then return to the Muslim country that you came from.

Emmanuel Macron and the ‘Bombshell Report’ on the Muslim Brotherhood
…………………………………
This should not be a bombshell–not because this is not shocking, but because it should be widely known.
