Senior EU leaders, facing relentless pressure from Member of the European Parliament Charlie Weimers, have begrudgingly acknowledged that the EU\u2019s systematic financing of Islamism is a problem that must be addressed. The bureaucratic turn shows that the fight against Islamism in Europe is gathering steam.<\/p>\n<p>Since entering the European Parliament in July 2019, Weimers, of the Sweden Democrats, has led a vocal crusade against Islamism in Europe. He uncovered that the EU has handed tens of millions of euros to organizations with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups whose final goal is a state based on Sharia law. His two-year odyssey to penetrate the EU\u2019s labyrinthine bureaucracy was recently documented in the film, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=60TPhkgfGVM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Islamism Funded by the European Union<\/a>.\u201d The documentary is based on a landmark report, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/ecrgroup.eu\/files\/MuslimBrotherhood.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Network of Networks: The Muslim Brotherhood in Europe<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/islamism.news\/2022\/10\/14\/can-a-single-politician-cut-eu-funding-to-islamists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Continue Reading Here<\/a>\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior EU leaders, facing relentless pressure from Member of the European Parliament Charlie Weimers, have begrudgingly acknowledged that the EU\u2019s systematic financing of Islamism is a problem that must be addressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48,108],"tags":[129,181,245,62],"class_list":["post-7606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-islam-in-europe","category-sweden-islam-in-europe","tag-european-union-2","tag-islam-in-europe","tag-islamism","tag-sweden"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
