Italy: Report finds five orgs affiliated with global Muslim Brotherhood and receiving Qatar funding

Qatar-supported Muslim Brotherhood infiltration has been exposed in Italy, but it’s happening all over the West. Qatar’s tentacles are spread far and wide. “Muslim Brotherhood-linked orgs found active in Italy, receive funding from Qatar,” Jerusalem Post, June 8, 2026:

Five organizations affiliated with the global Muslim Brotherhood network are active in Italy, Israel’s Diaspora Affairs and Combatting Antisemitism Ministry alleged in a new report on Sunday.

The organizations the report says are connected to the Muslim Brotherhood are: the Union of Islamic Communities and Organizations in Italy (UCOII); Young Muslims of Italy (GMI); Bayan Institute; The Islamic Alliance of Italy (AII); and Association of Palestinians in Italy (API).

Although their activity is publicly framed as community-based and apolitical, the Diaspora Ministry said there is evidence linking them to the movement, particularly because of individuals associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.

The ministry said there is a significant gap between these organizations’ efforts to project themselves as supporting integration, tolerance, and dialogue, and the actual narratives they espouse, such as comparing Israel to Nazis and giving implicit legitimacy to terrorism.

As part of their ongoing activities, Italian organizations identified with the Muslim Brotherhood hold conferences, camps, cultural events, and protests in cooperation with other bodies, including pan-European organizations identified with the Muslim Brotherhood, radical left-wing organizations, pro-Palestinian groups, and major anti-Israel organizations in Italy.

These organizations are also active on social media.

Muslim Brotherhood-identified orgs. shifting from religious focus to political incitement

The report explains that, since October 7, the Muslim Brotherhood-identified organizations in Italy have shifted from religious-communal rhetoric to active political incitement, and, at times, violent rhetoric. This ranges from the use of extreme terms such as “genocide,” “ethnic cleansing,” and comparisons to the Nazis, alongside the use of fabricated images or images taken out of context.

On the financial level, the report says that these organizations use a decentralized funding system, including local donations, government tax-allocation mechanisms…

The Western public makes a distinction between the likes of Al-Qaeda and ISIS and “moderate” or “peaceful” organizations such as the Muslim Brotherhood, but it doesn’t realize that the Brotherhood is no different. It is just a more sophisticated  front to expand the global jihad in nonviolent ways until it feels safe to take the gloves off. Oct. 7 was a demonstration of Muslim Brotherhood taking the gloves off. Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.

This is the primary goal of the Muslim Brotherhood:

Jihad – a mandatory religious duty

– “This is followed by the power of arms and weapons… This is the role of Jihad.”

– “Jihad is a religious public duty… incumbent upon the Islamic nation. Jihad is a personal duty to fend off the infidels’ attack on the nation…”

– “The youth should know that the problems of the Islamic world, such as Palestine, Afghanistan, Syria, Eritrea, or the Philippines, are not issues of territories and nations, but of faith and religion. They are problems of Islam and the Muslims, and they can be resolved neither by negotiation nor by recognizing the enemy’s right to the Islamic land he stole. Rather, the only option is Jihad for Allah, and this is why Jihad is the way.”

– “The symbol of the [Muslim] Brotherhood is the book of Allah [the Quran] between two swords. The swords symbolize Jihad and the force that protects the truth represented in Allah’s book.”

– “…that is, go out to battle, oh believers, young and old, by foot or on horseback, under all circumstances and conditions…”

Timing: Don’t rush, prepare carefully for Jihad

– “The [Muslim] Brotherhood will never rush after the youth’s enthusiasm to carry out immature and unplanned actions, which will not alter the corrupt reality and may even harm Islamic activity, and will benefit the people of falsehood…”

– “…it is not necessary for the Muslims to repel every attack or damage caused by the enemies of Allah immediately, rather [this is required] when ability and the circumstances allow for it.”

– “Prepare yourself and train in the art of warfare, and possess the components of power. You must learn the ways, manners and laws of war. You must learn them and embrace them and adhere to them, so that your Jihad will be accepted by Allah.”

– “… every Muslim has an unavoidable personal duty to equip himself and prepare for Jihad…”

Personal goal: Aspire to Shahada – Death for Allah

– “Allah is our goal, the Prophet is our leader, the Quran is our constitution, Jihad is our way, and death for Allah is our most exalted wish.”

What Israel experienced on Oct. 7, along with every jihad attack in Israel and Western countries, is aligned with Muslim Brotherhood goals.

The Muslim Brotherhood is not only active in Italy, but in most Western countries. In America, the list HERE tells the story. The Brotherhood’s offshoots are also active.

It isn’t only Qatar which funds Muslim Brotherhood interests in Italy and in other parts of the West. It is also the taxpayer, since many Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations are registered as nonprofit charities. To remain non-profits, they fight vehemently to demonize any investigation of them as “Islamophobic.” See an example from Canada: Layered Under Suspicion:A REVIEW OF CRA AUDITS OF MUSLIM-LED CHARITIES. I am unjustly included in this report as an “Islamophobe,” sitting on a board of an organization that the report deems to be “incongruous to the public benefit.” Those labels apply to anyone who sheds light on the questionable activities of Muslim organizations.

See Jihad Watch’s file on Canada Revenue Agency, which has been having a time of it under accusations of “Islamophobia” for its due diligence, which may be now crumbling under pressure.

The report on Italy concluded:

that organizations affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood are actively working to appropriate the principal representation of the Muslim community in Italy while sidelining more moderate organizations, primarily through control over mosques and educational institutions.

As antisemitism escalates, along with the fear being cast into disbelievers everywhere (Qur’an 8:12), Italy can expect (as the Diaspora Affairs and Combatting Antisemitism Ministry report also identifies) the increasing shift “from religious-communal rhetoric to active political incitement, and, at times, violent rhetoric.”

Texas and Florida have set precedents which should be followed everywhere. The governors of both states, Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis respectively,  issued executive orders to officially designate the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations as foreign terrorist organizations under their state laws.

The link between Muslim Brotherhood, Qatar and also Turkey is intricately crafted and manipulated throughout Western countries, with the Islamic end goal of a global caliphate.
