The Muslim Brotherhood's Plan to Conquer the West
(Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy) Muslim Brotherhood Islamism is not Islam. It is a political ideology that arose in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that reframes Islam as a totalizing political program governing politics, law, and society. By transforming elements of religion into ideological tools, Islamism seeks to redefine Islam itself in the service of political ends. Tamkeen, one of the Brotherhood's most important doctrines, refers to a deliberate process of institutional entrenchment and empowerment. Rather than seeking immediate revolution, it calls for embedding Islamist influence within civil society, consolidating authority inside Muslim communities, and normalizing Islamist discourse in the wider public arena. Several Muslim-majority states have banned the Muslim Brotherhood, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, recognizing that the Brotherhood distorts religion for ideological purposes, undermines legitimate religious authority, and destabilizes societies. This study demonstrates that the Muslim Brotherhood's long-term strategy is a deliberate, multigenerational effort to transform Western society from within. Its strategy exploits legal freedoms and democratic institutions to advance objectives that are incompatible with democratic governance.
