(RAIR Foundation)—A landmark French intelligence report has revealed that the Muslim Brotherhood has constructed a vast, foreign-funded, ideologically driven infrastructure across France – spanning mosques, schools, digital media, and parallel local governance systems – with the ultimate goal of replacing secular democratic rule with Sharia, and warns that this same model is being replicated in Western nations, including the United States.
A newly declassified 73-page intelligence report commissioned by the French Interior, Foreign Affairs, and Armed Forces ministries has revealed the extent of the Muslim Brotherhood’s infiltration and ideological influence in France. Submitted to Senator Bruno Retailleau and unveiled by Le Figaro, the report confirms that the Brotherhood has built a widespread, coordinated network designed to advance political Islam and gradually supplant French secular governance with Sharia. The report states: “Brotherhood-linked networks are now deeply implanted in the education, cultural, social, and economic life of certain territories.”
The findings are not speculative. They are the result of field investigations, interviews with intelligence agencies, religious leaders, academics, and reviews of financial and organizational records. This report is one of the most comprehensive official accounts of Islamist ideological infiltration in any Western nation to date.
A Parallel Structure
The Muslim Brotherhood in France operates through a dual system: a legal, publicly visible structure of associations and mosques, and a clandestine ideological command guided by a “Council of Judges.” This duality allows the Brotherhood to avoid scrutiny while executing long-term strategies for societal transformation. The core leadership comprises an estimated 400 to 1,000 committed members who direct over 280 affiliated associations and 139 mosques across France.
Members undergo a 10-stage initiation process and swear loyalty (bay’a) to the Brotherhood’s Supreme Guide. Local units, called usar, meet weekly in closed circles to maintain ideological discipline and secrecy. This structure resembles secret societies more than religious movements.
