https://doi.org/10.23932/2542-0240-2020-13-4-9

Abstract

The article is devoted to the challenge of the modern constitutional system of Germany by Islamic organizations. Mass migration from Muslim countries and the formation of “parallel” Muslim communities led to the fact that it was in this environment that transnational Islamist organizations such as “Muslim Brotherhood” found  their adherents and established their branches. The article analyzes the tactics of actions of the Muslim  Brotherhood transnational Islamic organization and organizations affiliated with it in Germany. These organizations are considered as an active subject with their own civilizational project for the reconstruction of the world. Based on the materials studied by German intelligence agencies, conclusions are drawn on the creation of an extensive  network of organizations controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood, while publicly denying any connection with this  movement. The tactics of this organization is to use all the capabilities of the “legal” institutions of a democratic state for ideological propaganda and political representation.
The strategy of the Muslim Brotherhood remains unchanged - through the gradual “peaceful” Islamization of European society, come to a radical political reorganization of Europe on the principles of political Islam.
