ISGAP Report Flags Muslim Brotherhood Networks Expanding in Canada
A new analysis from the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy highlights the spread of Muslim Brotherhood aligned networks across Canadian government offices, civil society organizations, and universities.
The report describes these networks as pursuing long term influence through institutional entry, voter mobilization, narrative shaping, and legal protections rather than through isolated incidents.
It points to groups involved in political advocacy and employee networks inside federal institutions, along with charities that have faced scrutiny over international links yet retained status and funding.
On campuses, the study notes substantial foreign funding, particularly from Qatar, flowing into projects at major universities while disclosure rules remain limited. Canadian authorities have not launched a comprehensive national inquiry despite historical references to the country in Brotherhood strategy documents.
The authors argue that weak oversight has created a permissive environment and call for formal investigations into linked organizations, tighter charity reviews, intelligence coordination with allies, and mandatory transparency for foreign academic partnerships including contract terms.
The findings frame the issue as a political ideology challenge requiring systematic scrutiny rather than a purely religious matter.
