MANAMA: Qatar plays a major role in financing Islamist groups in Europe, mainly through its Qatar Charity NGO, according to a report by the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR).
At least 138 projects across Europe, many related to Muslim Brotherhood associated organisations, were being bankrolled by Qatar Charity (QC), according to the 104-page report.
Citing a 2019 report by French journalists Christian Chesnot and Georges Malbrunot, ICSR built its report profiling the Muslim Brotherhood groups that receive funding and support directly from Qatar.
“An entire system to help build mosques and Islamic centres,” Chesnot and Malbrunot write in their book The Qatar Papers – How the Emirate Finances Islam in France and Europe.
In September, Sri Lanka declared Qatar Charity a terrorist funding entity.
