Dutch Parliament Approves Motion to Ban Muslim Brotherhood

On March 17, the Dutch Parliament narrowly approved a motion to ban the Muslim Brotherhood, a transnational Islamist group that seeks to establish a global totalitarian caliphate (Islamic empire) and is enjoying huge success in entrenching autonomous parallel Islamic societies in Europe and other parts of the West.
The vote in the House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer) was 76 in favor and 74 against. The measure was submitted to parliament on March 9 by the Freedom Party (Partij voor de Vrijheid, PVV), a civilizational party led by Geert Wilders.
The motion cited a May 2025 intelligence report by the French Interior Ministry which revealed the extent to which France is being infiltrated from within by the Muslim Brotherhood. The report—“The Muslim Brotherhood and Political Islam in France”—described the group as a “threat to national cohesion” and concluded that its “ultimate goal is to bring the whole of French society into Sharia law.”
