in late 2016 an anonymous whistleblower sent us a u.s.b. flash drive that revealed a program with murky objectives. in the memory state are thousands of confidential qatar charity documents bank transfers e-mail exchanges don't know lists. the collection unveils the existence of a huge hit to unknown funding operation for an extensive network of islamic associations across europe. out of 140 projects worth more than 216000000 euros qatar charity is the main contributor accounting for 120000000 euros. several countries are the focus of attention italy with $47.00 projects france $22.00

spain and the united kingdom 11 projects each and germany 10. apart from various unnamed contributors could tell charities list of generous donors features a number of extremely influential supporters including several members of the qatari ruling family and the deal won the emmy as executive office all of these initiatives not at the heart of a program that according to this presentation brochure promotes islamic culture throughout the world especially in the west. we spent 2 years investigating this campaign. and. could turn charity has been under scrutiny for years for arab countries the united

arab emirates saudi arabia egypt and bar. i accuse it of sponsoring islamist groups under the cover of humanitarian aid. all thinkers point to the ruling tunney. the e.u. the world does qatar's and the air shake time in been how much tiny know about the activities of his country's largest and geo during an official visit to doha by french president emanuel mcconnell we took the opportunity to ask him. we know that there are some people here in qatar who are suspected of funding i was going to say shadowy groups overseas but there are also suspicions about qatar charity which. some information about qatar in the media is not true or not we have taken a range of measures like

a target to counter the financing of terrorism and yes that's true. but some of the information you mentioned may be exaggerated or falls one of the obviously. we continued our investigation in europe. in front so according to our dossier qatar charity has funded 20000 projects tens of millions of euros invested in mosques islamic centers and schools all of them a supported by muslims of france an association called m d f formally known as the union of french islamic organizations or us so i asked the flash drives contain substantial information on one initiative in particular qatar charities flagship project in europe it's located in mill use in eastern frumps. computer generated images of the

future a new a center show a prayer room built on 2 floors classrooms for a new school and a library. the presentation bears the qatar charity logo and is intended to attract donors. abreu should describes other services offered by the future community center designed in compliance with religious norms observed in qatar a swimming pool with separate hours for men and women restaurants and supermarkets and a health clinic. while waiting for the project to be completed worshipers pray in an old rundown mosque built in the seventy's. you have a rug could put it there and pray. nasa is president of the muslim association of. the local branch of muslims the from so it's an old garage there's a prayer room inside and another one on the ground floor but since there are so

many people there is not enough room and they pray next door so we organize to prayer services on friday there's one and 1 o'clock and we allow for late comers that way we don't pray outside or next door so we don't bother anyone we have a 2nd prayer at 2 o'clock to avoid praying in the street that we exactly. it is. for you to see what is really. the only path because you know we can't go on worshipping in this place it isn't worthy of a religious faith or a community in the sense the state is secular it can give funds to any religious faith money is welcome wherever it comes from if we accept all forms of assistance it can come from people who support the muslim brotherhood or support. or i don't

know what as long as we're not subject to any pressure otherwise we refuse and we have sometimes refusal is the. construction of the new must began in 2006 and is almost finished the our newest center is designed to address the community's new needs. this is the main entrance that's where the reception desk will be people. who come to pray can go directly to the prayer rest of the clear. elect are busted this cycle the room has a maximum capacity of $1500.00 and a total area of about a 1000 square metres the facade is glass so. by can see inside we have nothing to hide so our organization believes in transparency. transparency even when it comes to funding the association received him in this

appeal brown tender nations from the community but the project is costing more than $25000000.00 euros so it also sought financial support from wealthy it danus. used to go to the knowledge is that more than half of the sentence budget was funded by contributions from to go from countries q 8 and tom lesser distance to parties all for the qatar made donations of almost 7000000 euros but we're not talking about qatar rather an organization we don't work with the state neither the qatari nor the koichi government the donors are private individuals they have to go through an official organization qatar charity like i shall meet you have the same vision of islam i assume. because of occupy i don't know what their vision of islam is i know my vision of islam we're a member of the former if not their vision is our vision it's an islam of the

middle ground as if we're going to target kuwait saudi arabia each country has its vision but they don't impose that vision on france right now that you are a muslim brother. to them is almost always our muslim brothers in a way because you're my brother in humanity he's my brother in islam. what. do you could tell and he waits really donate money with no strings attached. in paris an agent from the french intelligence service has strong doubts he was willing to meet us but requested not to be filmed. we reconstructed the interview. she also gets the mosque was bonded through different channels in early 201-798-4000 was paid on february 2nd 1000000 123001

february 2nd 1000000 139001 the 23rd and 20172017 but where the donations come from from qatar charity easily $5000000.00 of the $5000000.00 euros plus the $5000000.00 from 2016. that's right. according to our source the un no a mosque in the news has ties to the muslim brotherhood movement the muslim brotherhood was founded in egypt in 1028 by his son al bana a teacher in ca login who sought to accomplish 2 objectives liberate the country from british diminish and understand a see a classic regime based on sharia or islamic law. maintains that islam was the solution to the moral and identity crisis in joost by colonial rule he focused on use education so that future militants would be well

prepared and he developed a network devoted to ideological and religious training the organization in gauged in charitable and social activities that in 1948 king farouk prime minister was killed by a member of the brotherhood the government became alarmed by the group's growing influence and decided to ban it. a year later than i was assassinated. the muslim brotherhood continued to operate underground its adopted violent methods and set up a secret paramilitary wing in $959.00 which supported the military coup d'etat that brought a gun nasa to power a few months later. to during ideologies now confronted one another nasa socialist inspired pan arab business and the muslim brotherhoods pan islam islam centered on divine your. land and i mean

well what element. l. will. again you must. share and. only been to the political. left. in the pentameter the plebiscite went to live by layer built at that. and then ended up a fashionable you want to develop. nasa decided to clamp down on his burdensome allies and the organization was dissolved the 2nd time in 1954 the brotherhood became the target of a serious crackdown in the sixty's some members of the group sought refuge in europe. expert in political islam house and

a gay has studied the careers of our band as ideological as in europe they founded such islamic organizations as you i ask in france you see in italy and in germany. i would be more inclined to call them neo muslim brotherhood a neo muslim brother is someone who clearly identifies with the egyptian muslim brotherhood and i do. logical terms but it wasn't connected to the brotherhood materially or organically the muslim brotherhood is more an ideology of a good entity there's no cards there's no special status. all ruled european projects currently funded by qatar charity linked to the neo muslims. for the past 15 years an italian academic has been conducting research on muslim brotherhood networks in the west he meets with them members collects the stories and analyzes that time in 2015 there ends of

a dino was hired by george washington university in washington d.c. to hide its program on extremism. we asked him to take a look at the documents stored on the flash drive. business paper business but you're really seeing the end the. ones. back in london schiff yeah sure. just. to get noticed. it confirms what i think there's a concerted effort to buy. in to fund the brotherhood networks in europe and to fund the substation we're talking about very big amounts here. it adds a level of detail it's

a confirmation see evidence of that i think what surprises me is how sophisticated this is how consistent it is it's basically almost exclusively brotherhood entities what is important though and makes it more important is the fact that it comes pretty good at a time where other funders have pulled out other countries debates used to fund the brotherhood networks if we're talking about the seventy's the eighty's it used to be saudi arabia because i didn't create this network has been very for a long long time if we show him a document signed by catullus most prominent cleric kind of diary recommending support for a mosque project in milan the thanks of a get a letter of support from the recognized dirigible leader of the muslim brotherhood the pope if you will of the muslim brotherhood useful week it's a huge piece of evidence that shows that the brotherhood is backing this project.

is the leading proponent of ideology. born in 1926 like many militants he was imprisoned by nothing in the fifty's. in 1961 he fled to khatam. and servant of muslims listen to himself not necessarily muslim brothers mind you he's an advocate of total islam what is total islam it's the idea that islam should govern both private and public life individual affairs and government affairs little. qatari pointed out kyra dari dean of the university that when he founded the faculty of islamic studies he became a close friend of the ruling family often impairing in public with the out-i nice.

town also gave him a building to serve as the headquarters for the international union for muslim scholars over which he presided. in addition to these religious platforms the government offered him a global media puppet in 1996 a talk show on al-jazeera called sharia under life for over 15 years our kara di dispensed weekly advice to an audience of 60000000 viewers issuing fatwas sometimes shocked the west. out of more than $6000.00 verses of the koran there is one verse that deals with a condescending and disobedient wife it is said that one of the methods of treatment is and that. should a homosexual or a lesbian be punished. some say they should be thrown from a high place as god did with the people of sodom some say we should burn them. in

the law so look there are a good throughout history that allah has imposed people upon the jews who would punish them for their corruption the last punishment was carried out by hitler. factor in all the things he did to them even though they exaggerated this issue he managed to put them in their place for the media is. some friends have quoted a hottie that says islam will conquer wrong. stuff. but it will tell yeah does this mean that we will bank wish the europeans once again. i believe the next conquest will be conducted through door walk but of course the muslims must start acting and order to conquer this world.

although this passage from the prophets isn't specifically referred to in the flesh dr documents italy is clearly the n.g.'s main target the country is home to the largest number of projects 47 in all funded to the tune of 25000000 euros by qatar charity. most of them bad the stamp of the union of islamic community center organizations if it's silly or you see. which is ideologically close to the muslim brotherhoods. an analysis of the don't see a point to one area in particular sicily. one of the documents is a brochure devoted entirely to the region with 11 projects that funded by khatami charity. on page 3 the organization highlights the fact that the island was once under muslim rule as if to justify its support. is naam came

to the island in $8827.00 and lasted for about 472 years a period during which the region enjoyed stability and progress. in the n.g.'s cites the same historical reference on pages 12 and 13 to rationalize its decision to acquire a building in messina. it was builds in $910.00 the owners the rest arab descent its architectural design is inspired by its original islamic features. this is the building in question. quite of delafield who was born in algeria is president of the islamic community of sicily. and in mom of could tania. he negotiated its purchase. more you have. to we received all this aid from doha. the islamic community of sicily was the 1st association to

be recognized by qatar charities only because. they are he she would eat but it's the 1st to have received funds and they're all legal. it's clear you are a muslim brother. no i'm not a muslim brother i'm a muslim and the only just this are all brothers. we hear that all the time. we're all brothers. civil to one activist in northern france decided to oppose the brotherhood's double speak an engineer born in morocco in 1980 mohammed who easy joined the muslim brotherhood when he was a teenager at the end of the 1900 c. went to lille to attend college and joined the u.s. i asked its leaders took him under their wing and just signed him. for 15 years from 1901 to 2006 i was

a member of the brotherhood and in october 2006 i decided to leave the organization after realizing that the brothers teaching were meant to turn us young people in the ninety's into ideological instruments. so i decided to speak out to start a blog write articles and to dig deeper so people could understand it so other young people didn't get ensnared by this ideology should you wish. he carries out most of his research on the internet on social media that's how he discovered the. mosque which he attended for many years and which is run by us yes received a visit of a could tolerate allegation in $26.00 staying. in this photo in the background there's the villain of the ask mosque here you see the rector of the mosque mohammad current. next to him is our last far the current president of muslims of france the former us. and that man is shy come out of ben nasser of

the chairman of the board of directors of qatar charity in doha qatar sure it's a big boss. shake hamad bin. more than the highest ranking person in the organization a former minister of the interior he is a leading member of the ruling family and a cousin of the media to mean the new easy is more interested in someone else. you know that one shake ahmed mohammad ali hammadi let's say he's the one who distributes the funds for qatar charity in europe according to my sources he holds a qatari diplomatic passport he travels pretty much everywhere in europe and he's the one who meets with members of the muslim brotherhood in each city. a collection of documents includes proof that katon charity wired funds to the desk

center a bank receipt for more than 250000 reales or approximately 60000 euros. appears in a number of photos like this one taken at the new us site in most news sometimes in western clothes sometimes in traditional dress. there's even a picture of him preaching at the old mill use. he also attended the inauguration of the tonya mosque in sicily yeezy also found him in a series of $28.00 programs filmed in europe in 2015 for a qatari channel propaganda broadcasts promoting political islam. in the 21. you need to it was filmed in spain italy france germany england.

here we see mohammad ahmed how mahdi visiting. you are you sure this you know one of the you i have leaders more is overseeing a project to build a mosque there that commemorates the battle of 732. the time of. the shah what are the 30 for this is an important date in french history since it was the only victory by christians over muslims at the time one by a shot of the king of the franks. it's noted that the conquest was won by the sword because we're not sure that today we want our center in to be a new stage of the muslim conquest but in a different way we hope to make this place a center of dialogue. you can protest when muslims in a working class neighborhood want to build a place of worship they don't have this idea in their heads of conquering through mosques but in the mind of the muslim brotherhood the construction of

a mosque means making the muslim presence not to say the islamist presence more visible in france and europe. if you can show the whole i was with an arab broadcasters so the discussion was in arabic and the audience was exclusively arab . in muslim history muslims believe that the army of the time war martyrs so party is called the city of martyrs lane so it must be put in an historical context. the grand mosque doesn't have a name. it's called the grand mosque of party a period i do know it was good 40. more claims he didn't receive any foreign funding however the memory stick contains receipts of 2 bank transfers in 2012 to the muslim association of plots for the martyrs laying mosque

one for 1000000 riaz the other 575000 trails equivalent to a total of nearly $400000.00 euros. over a year. i see that it was sent to. 1000000. if and there. this is it looks to me like it was transferred to our account probably. do what year was that 2012 right so probably it took place honestly i don't remember at all but he told here it says muslim association in arabic it can't be this account number and bank book is a u.i. after 20 account for the construction of the party a mosque is good. we also noticed that qatar charity provided funds to associations that were 99 percent linked to the muslim brotherhood without necessarily being affiliated with. yes but it's quite legitimate for you to help association.

legal who's understanding and reading of his lawn you approve of the. i think that's perfectly normal for the few who was quick to see what we all know is that qatar embarked on a huge very well funded image campaign. get invested in the paris sasha mom football club and wanted to help entrepreneurs and the poor suburbs and book. it wanted to rebuild its image to distance itself from saudi arabia to say we represent another approach another way of looking at islam. he did this to promote a modern islam they can text to allies as long. as you have. the press statement confirmed that qatar has a strategy of supporting the muslim brotherhood network. and those who are close to

it. the sudden surge in spending the attention of intelligence services. in gemini at the state office for the protection of the constitution in north rhine-westphalia in. direct to book written he shed his thoughts with us. we have observed that salafism is out to divide society but also the muslim brothers ostensibly they uphold democracy but we've observed that within the organization there is a push for an islamic state based on the koran and sharia law a fun cool on sharia. law in germany we've noticed for some time now that the muslim brotherhood has become more active and. we assume that the muslim brotherhood is funded both by private donations and by arab countries. and financial interested is in the we raise awareness of the dangers posed by the

muslim brotherhood among the public and also politicians and that actually of the ways it undermines democracy at its roots is root the democrats. sort of on the mind if you don't is to i recommend banning donations from abroad because that allows foreign governments to influence religious elements that are active here lindens to the movement afoot. charity exert influence over the and. if so how. the museum of the civilizations of islam in the swiss city of left shoulder foam in the can tone of new show was financed by qatar a charity it opened its doors in 2016 its director is not come. for this museum came about 17 years ago driven by a desire to create something enjoyable and at the same time a place where people can go to seek answers. at the time of its inauguration coming

made a list of donors public they were primarily from the gulf she didn't hide the fact that some of the funds were funneled through qatar charity. these people can't send money directly but can give it to a local organization that qatar charity once transferred a small sum we didn't have any choice it was either that or we didn't get our money we don't know that ship. and her husband mohammed come outta here on the right operates a dozen associations cultural centers and religious centers in french speaking switzerland and in the can't on a t. no they are influential islamic figures in their country the flash drive documents show that nadia come outta downplays her ties to qatar charity in 2014 she signed

a contract with its director. to renovate the building that houses the museum in total 14 bank receipts not only for payments to the cultural institute that hosts the museum but also to another cultural center in los and to an association in lugano to chino. these 2 establishment run by her husband between 20112013 qatar charity wired nearly 3000000 swiss francs or more than 2 and a half 1000000 euros for initiatives headed by the husband and wife team. are you familiar with this document it's an application an application for fun signed by. by me. and i don't deny it. let me it's a large amount. well yes it's an interesting country. no but you told me it was a small. yes yes it's for the new project besides they didn't agree to

finance it they want us to start and then they'll decide here's a bunch of wire transfers that's your institute we and they are very large some think they give you quite a lot of money and also a commission. as i told you they're not the ones who financed us it was individuals lease people wrote checks made donations and it was up to qatar charity to transfer them to us and they did that sometimes with difficulty i might out it was the london office that decided it they said yes 1st we need a contract we didn't want to sign because there were conditions in woos they signed a contract with them and they have to fulfill all the conditions the conditions are displaying the qatar flag cetera inviting 3 or 4 of their people to every meeting and so on and they also need to approve certain expansion projects for example then

said as i want to small in other words they want to control the entities they find it is not that they impose but they influence. a little yes they try to exert influence thanks to the come uses qatar charities influence to spread beyond the borders of switzerland into from. this is what journalist on 20 own discovered in a memo written by the french domestic intelligence agency. said to note. the memo describes how french customs carried out an inspection on a high speed train from zurich to paris on april 30th 2007 that mr mohammad camos was questioned and that he was found to be carrying 50000 euros in cash to sync with mr goh who is mr kamu said the 50000 euros were given to him in geneva by

a man named often are needy. and his benefactor acts as a liaison for the prestigious egyptian shake use of. the sum was intended for the european institute of human sciences in the which trains in mom's if we commit to calm most also said he considered the money transfer to be a normal almost routine procedure the cost of the trial lastly the memo indicates that he belongs to the muslim brotherhood. and that he is even believed to be a member of the an aadhaar moment in tunisia mobile move watching you in the dark a sentence at the bottom of the memo states that his spouse not fully supports her husband's objectives from. the european insta key to human sciences is based in chateau she know in burgundy frumps inaugurated in 1902 and founded by the us i have sent to trains future in moms by offering them residential

programs in arabic qur'an and theology studies. it's a unique facility and frumps. to higham i moved around the institute for 30 years until 2018 and i think challenge of receiving payments from kids haunt charity. the number of financial entanglements between katon charity and its benefactors increased between 201420178 period when neighbors were ramping up pressure on the country look at the tar is at the epicenter of a diplomatic earthquake saudi arabia egypt the united arab emirates and bahrain have sever diplomatic ties with the small country they accuse it of supporting terrorism getting tomorrow airline companies in the region will suspend the flights to and from goods are the objective is to financially strangle the emirate the

political and economic blockade of qatar began on june the 5th 2017 a move justified by catullus alleged support of missed groups but the state was also paying for its unchecked growth strategy it to pursued in order to achieve independence from saudi arabia. guitar charity closed down its mayfair office in london in 2018 and its local officials left the country. but in fact qatar charity u.k. didn't really disappear it changed its name to a necktie trust a few months ago and it no longer has a london office as if to raise old timers but the parent company. the pressure on doha since 2017 has been intense saudi arabia the united arab

emirates bahrain and egypt all cited catullus support of the muslim brotherhood as one of the reasons for the blockade. we decided to visit the organizations headquarters also equipped with a hidden camera since our requests to the qatari authorities had fallen on deaf ears. are you ahmed i'm his assistant. and you're french journalist do you want to film here. do you have a permit do you have the document can i take this is he busy he's in a meeting i can't disturb them invest in a lot of most can europe and with the look at the. evidence we've got too much. pressure here i'm glad you're so the. search should

be the world you know. in the old world the bulk of you know the big push it. over most of this generation but you people oh well was big big or. after this meeting qatar charity stopped responding to our requests in response to international pressure the emirates has now toned down its efforts to expand its influence including in the area of religion i checked a few informations and it seems that qatar finance the brotherhood branches in europe it's now what about say my aster is no. guitar does not support the muslim brotherhood in europe you are talking under the assumption that the muslim brotherhood is one entity what is the muslim brotherhood and tunisia you have a number you have i mean you officially the different european countries have

official ties with tunisia they have problems dealing with another part i don't think so going back to your question any involvement of guitar in europe in terms of any contributions this is totally illegal and i'm pretty sure it's under the side of the respective governments so it exists i'm not sure i mean it depends case by case to get arctic be i mean through some of the legal entities could be contributing to some cultural censors and so on and so forth but then the way you phrase it sounds very suspicious while it's very legal and in the light. of what this means is that the west should face up to its own responsibilities to be sure qatar charities funding channels are complex and i paid bob's if qatar like other arab states before it became involved in funding is now more european soil it was merely filling a void. if european countries hope to counter the strategy of

religious influence they must provide their citizens of muslim faith with the means of practicing their religion. was. the. was. the. car. watching trauma. after their last defeat haircut are in freefall the trainer and managing director are now history which means berlin once again to make a crisis. and more to run the frankford win majestically against bielefeld.
