European Parliament adopts resolution condemning Muslim Brotherhood
The centre‑right European People’s Party led the vote, with French MEP Céline Imart calling it a historic first.
By Felo News Desk · Published
The European Parliament approved a resolution on October 19, 2026 that condemns the Muslim Brotherhood and urges stronger action against Islamist influence in EU institutions, according to American Greatness.
Sponsored by French MEP Céline Imart, the measure was driven by the centre‑right European People’s Party and follows the Trump administration’s terrorist designations of the Brotherhood and related groups.
Imart said the vote was “a historic victory because it is a European first,” adding that it marks the start of push‑back against Islamist entryism. The resolution calls for tighter scrutiny of foreign funding, especially from Qatar and Turkey, and urges the European Council to consider adding Brotherhood‑linked entities to the EU terror list.
Security experts Lorenzo Vidino and Edmund Fitton‑Brown praised the vote as a first step, while the European Network Against Racism warned it could target Muslim communities unfairly.
