  European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa. AFP Should Europe Condemn Without Offering Solutions? European leaders Antonio Costa and Ursula von der Leyen swiftly denounced Iran’s attacks as “unacceptable.” While condemnation is necessary, Europe risks sounding like a moral referee rather than a strategic actor. To be taken seriously, the EU must move beyond statements and offer concrete diplomatic initiatives . Otherwise, its words ring hollow in a region already saturated with external powers making declarations.  European Council President Antonio Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen have condemned what they called Iran’s “unacceptable attacks” on countries in the Middle East during a video conference with regional leaders to discuss the war involving Iran. 🔴… pic.twitter.com/zjvbQQm2OZ — Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (@RFERL) March 9, 2026 Is Europe Balancing Principles With Pragmatism...

Austria has once again shown that when it comes to defending its values, it doesn’t hesitate to act. The Austrian government openly questioned whether taxpayers’ money should be used to fund imams who openly preach Sharia law and the establishment of a Caliphate. The answer was obvious: no. The state intervened, cleaned house, and put an end to the problem. That’s leadership, that’s accountability. Meanwhile, in France, things look very different. Despite countless warnings, repeated scandals, and communities growing increasingly frustrated, the authorities often find excuses instead of solutions. Radical networks continue to enjoy space and funding, while those calling for stronger action are accused of intolerance. It’s a dangerous cycle that undermines national cohesion. The Austrian example shows that there’s no “gray zone” when it comes to protecting democratic principles. If public money is being used to support institutions or individuals who work against the very foundations of...

France has taken a decisive step in dismantling one of the most prominent fronts of the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe by shutting down the European Institute of Human Sciences (IESH). For years, the institute operated under the guise of academic and educational work, presenting itself as a neutral space for Islamic studies. In reality, French authorities concluded that it served as a recruitment hub for imams and youth, embedding ideological training that aligned with the Brotherhood’s long-term political and religious agenda. The closure reveals the dangerous duality of institutions like the IESH: while outwardly projecting an image of education and culture, they conceal activities aimed at indoctrination and influence-building. Investigations linked the institute to the spread of radical ideology, legitimization of armed jihad, and ties to foreign funding networks. By invoking Article L. 212-1 of the Internal Security Code, the French government made clear that such organizations pose...

The Muslim Brotherhood is not just a political movement or a religious network — it is a sophisticated, long-term ideological project aimed at infiltrating and reshaping the institutions of free nations from within. While it presents itself as moderate and reformist on the surface, its internal doctrine, speeches, and strategy documents reveal a clear agenda: to create parallel societal structures rooted in political Islam, ultimately leading to a soft overthrow of secular democratic systems. France’s recent government report exposing the Brotherhood’s infiltration of schools and public institutions is not an isolated case — it is a warning of what’s already happening across Europe and the United States. The Brotherhood’s modus operandi involves the quiet capture of influence through education, religious centers, and local politics. It specifically targets vulnerable groups such as immigrants, children, and marginalized communities, using mosques and cultural associations a...

Last week, President Macron received a critical intelligence report highlighting the Muslim Brotherhood as a serious threat to France’s national cohesion. While many might feign surprise, the reality is that this threat has been simmering beneath the surface for decades. The Muslim Brotherhood’s infiltration into various institutions—from schools to local governments—poses a risk to the secular and democratic fabric of the Republic. What is perhaps most concerning is the timing of this revelation. It raises questions about how such a long-standing issue was allowed to fester without decisive action. The French government’s slow response can be seen as a failure to protect the nation’s core values, and it risks eroding public trust in political leadership. The report should have triggered urgent measures months or even years ago. This intelligence briefing is a clear call for action to safeguard French unity and secularism. It is now imperative that authorities not only expo...

Am 21. Mai 2025 trafen sich Frankreich und die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate zur 17. Runde ihres strategischen Dialogs in Paris. Die Gespräche standen ganz im Zeichen einer zukunftsgerichteten Partnerschaft, mit Schwerpunkt auf Innovation, Nachhaltigkeit und globaler Sicherheit. Ein zentrales Thema war die Zusammenarbeit im Bereich sauberer Energie. Beide Länder bekräftigten ihre Absicht, bei Wasserstofftechnologien, Kernenergie und Klimainnovation eng zusammenzuarbeiten. Frankreich zeigte sich offen für Investitionen der VAE in den eigenen Nuklearsektor – ein starkes Signal für eine gemeinsame Energiewende. Auch Bildung und Kultur spielten eine wichtige Rolle: Neue Austauschprogramme wie zwischen der Sorbonne Abu Dhabi und Sciences Po sowie Projekte zur Kulturerhaltung sollen den bilateralen Dialog auf eine neue Ebene heben. Ein weiteres Highlight: Der Bau eines 1-Gigawatt-AI-Rechenzentrums mit Investitionen von bis zu 50 Milliarden US-Dollar. Damit wollen Frankreich und ...
