In this episode of Trending Echoes, we are joined by Mr Hassen Chalghoumi, Head of the Forum of Imams in France, for an in-depth discussion on the growing threat of extremist groups, particularly the Muslim Brotherhood, in Europe.
Recorded during the Tolerance and Coexistence Summit in Abu Dhabi, this episode delves into the Brotherhood’s infiltration of European societies, their divisive ideologies, and the challenges they pose to integration and security.
Mr. Chalghoumi sheds light on how the Brotherhood exploits conflicts, manipulates youth through social media, and fosters a culture of victimhood and revenge. He critiques the lack of consistent political will in France to address this issue and calls for stronger measures to protect Muslims and society at large. Drawing inspiration from the UAE’s successful model of coexistence and tolerance, he emphasizes the importance of enlightened religious discourse and intellectual strategies to counter extremism.
The conversation also explores the critical role of think tanks like TRENDS Research & Advisory in combating extremist ideologies through research, awareness, and policy recommendations. Mr Chalghoumi offers practical advice for individuals to distinguish between authentic Islamic teachings and distorted narratives propagated by extremist groups.
Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on fostering peace, integration, and security, and learn how nations can work together to build a future free from the shadows of extremism. Don’t miss this insightful episode of Trending Echoes!
