    Muslim brotherhood was founded in Egypt in 1928 so nearly a 100 years ago. The group used to have power in Egypt but now they don’t and they currently scattered around the Middle East having underground operations. It’s currently the most dangerous Islamist group and has been. It’s both funded and supported by turkey and Qatar. Benzema is an Algerian. Algeria is run by a secular dictatorship. Wtf does benzema have to with the Muslim brotherhood when he is Saudi a country that actively hates and calls them a terrorists group. Saudi does not tolerate them. This claim is absolute bullshit.

      Well, the guy is actually unhinged, to begin with… concerning his previous controversies this shouldn’t be a surprise. It embraces him and it resonates with what sort of person he is.

    As soon as he tweets against Israel, he was actually Osama Bin Laden’s right hand man all along

      France and Germany have banned Palestine protests. America is preparing to send Israel a monster aid package of financial aid, intelligence support and high caliber weapons. Anti-Muslim immigrant sentiment in Europe is at all time highs.

      It’s easy to see where the wind is blowing. Israel is increasingly being seen as a symbol of the West and Western values (women’s rights, lgbt safe haven etc) in a region strongly hostile to those things. So the West is in turn backing them harder than ever.

    Unless I see Fabrizio confirming the links are concrete then I’ll assume it’s not concrete

    El Mundo is so bad, it’s crazy that the number 2 newspaper in Spain can’t do basic fact checking : no the Muslim Brotherhood are not considered a terrorist organization in France. They are considered terrorists by Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahreïn and E.A.U but not France. So no Darmanin was not accusing Benzema of having ties with a terrorist organization. And the tweet El Mundo quote is even more stupid, it says : “Muslim Brotherhood is considered a terrorist organization in Europe” and no again it is not. Only Austria classify them as terrorist, the EU does not and the Muslim Brotherhood is notorious for having powerful lobbies in Brussels.

      Only Austria classify them as terrorist, the EU does not

      Are there other countries besides Austria that classify them as terrorists that weren’t on the first list?
