May 17, 2021
French-Tunisian Imam Hassen Chalghoumi, president of the Conference of Imams of France, criticized political Islam in an interview that aired on i24 News (Israel) on February 28, 2021. He said that while political Islam has been around for a century, it is on the rise owing to the Muslim Brotherhood. Chalghoumi said that the Muslim Brotherhood should be called the Devil's Brotherhood, and that the organization's founder Hassan Al-Bana was a "monster." He said that the Muslim Brotherhood uses sacred ideas and causes such as the Palestinian cause to manipulate ignorant people. Chalghoumi added that "if it weren't for the Muslim Brotherhood, all Muslims would be brothers," because they sow division and civil war in the Muslim world. He then said that the Iranian mullah regime is a Shi'ite form of political Islam. Chalghoumi stated that political Islam is promoting hatred, barbarism, and savagery.
