According to Robert Spencer, an expert on Islamist conquest, as well as another news website, “The Islamist movement Muslim Brotherhood has been expanding its influence in France, acting behind the scenes to make the country a caliphate governed by Sharia law, according to the country’s top intelligence official.”
Bertrand Chamoulaud, head of the National Directorate for Territorial Intelligence at the French Ministry of the Interior said, “More than 100,000 worshippers attend mosques run by the Muslim Brotherhood”.
The Muslim Brotherhood is a radical Islamic group that was a forerunner to Al Qaeda.
French President Emmanuel Macron has launched a crackdown on what he calls Islamist separatism and radical Islam in the country following deadly jihadist attacks in recent years by foreign and homegrown militants. The measures aim to limit foreign influence over Muslim institutions in France.
