A thread on how the UN under Antonio Guterres has built a relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood through Yusuf al-Qaradawi

There's now a nexus between Qatar, Hamas, UN-supported Islamist NGOs & the new MB base in South Africa for islamist lawfare against Israel & the West 🧵

The Network

To the surprise of many, there are close ties between UN Secretary-General António Guterres, Muslim Brotherhood’s late spiritual leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi and his Qatar-based organization International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS).

These players are in turn all connected to the growing Muslim Brotherhood base in South Africa and the South African Lawfare Nexus.

Qaradawi, the Muslim Brotherhood’s most influential cleric, spent decades issuing fatwas legitimising jihad against Israel, encouraging suicide bombings, and promoting antisemitic narratives.

The IUMS, founded by Qaradawi, has been formally designated a terrorist organisation by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE, and Bahrain due to its Hamas and Brotherhood affiliations.

Despite this, António Guterres met with Al-Qaradawi and visited the IUMS. The organisation’s leadership publicly confirmed and exploited this engagement, boasting of “good relations with the UN” and claiming cooperation on Islamic charity and waqf initiatives.

The IUMS used the Guterres encounter as a deliberate legitimacy laundering tactic, neutralising its terror designation in Arab countries by pointing to having received recognition by the UN.

These links are not incidental. They align with the Muslim Brotherhood’s long-standing strategy of weaponizing international institutions to delegitimise Israel.

South Africa has become a critical node in this campaign, with Qaradawi’s influence visible through key figures:

• Ebrahim “Jibril” Gabriels – Muslim Judicial Council leader, IUMS affiliate, Union of Good trustee and president of the Al-Quds Foundation South Africa.

• Ebrahim Rasool – African National Congress (ANC) politician, expelled South African Ambassador to the United States in early 2025, linked deeply and bound into Qaradawi’s radical orbit.

• Imtiaz Sooliman – Founder of Gift of the Givers, cultivating ties to Qatar and Qaradawi’s network while advancing pro-Palestinian narratives under humanitarian cover. Sooliman has a 33-year track record with only recent exposure as to his real activist agenda and affiliation with Qawadari’s Union of Good including his close ties to Gabriels and the Muslim Judicial Council

Together, these elements explain why South Africa today spearheads lawfare against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and other forums. The UN’s top official, by engaging Qaradawi and his institutions, has strengthened this islamist network.

The picture below shows Al-Qaradawi, Ebrahim Gabriels and Nelson Mandela spending time together.

Qaradawi, the Muslim Brotherhood and the IUMS

We all know about the violent Jihadist organizations such as Al-Qaida, ISIS and Hamas.

However, most people know very little about the most influential Islamist organization, the Muslim Brotherhood. Even fewer know that it has a Patron state, and one that is broadcasting Muslim Brotherhood propaganda to the homes of hundreds of millions of homes across the world. That state is the immensely oil and gas-rich Qatar and the TV channel is Al-Jazeera. The Muslim Brotherhood is strongly linked to 3 players. Egypt, Palestine and Qatar.

It was founded in Egypt in 1928 by the cleric Hassan al-Banna as a reaction to how weak the Muslim world had become in relation to the West since the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. Al-Banna and other Muslim Islamists argued that the muslim community was weak due to having become corrupted over the centuries and had to go back to practicing the pure Islam of Mohammed and the first Caliphs.

The movement spread like wildfire in Egypt and one of its most notable early accomplishments was its involvement in the 1936 to 1939 Arab revolt in Palestine. The revolt failed, but the Brotherhood succeeded in making the Palestine-issue a widespread Muslim concern. After the Second World War, they lobbied for granting Amin al-Husseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem who had collaborated with Nazi Germany during the war, asylum in Egypt.

After the 1952 military coup against the monarchy, the Egyptian military started treating the Brotherhood as a rival and threat to their rule. Because of it, many of their most important ideological leaders were forced to move to Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Yusuf al-Qaradawi was the most important one. He was sent from the Al-Azhar University in Cairo in 1962 to head the Qatari Secondary Institute of Religious Studies in Doha. In 1977, he laid the foundation for the Faculty of Shari'ah and Islamic Studies at the University of Qatar. Later, he became the host of a show on Al-Jazeera called “Sharia and Life” which had a viewership of around 80 million per episode, making him one of the most influential muslim voices in the world.

The Royal Family of Qatar, the House of Al-Thani, has been using the Muslim Brotherhood as a tool to minimize political opposition against them. In exchange for allowing the Brotherhood to use the country as a base for its international operations, the Brotherhood makes sure that there is no political threat based on organized religion against the Monarchy.

Unfortunately, other countries are on the losing side of this deal. Qatar, Al-Jazeera and the Brotherhood cooperated in bringing the Muslim Brotherhood briefly into power in Egypt in 2011 and have sowed Islamist chaos throughout the Middle East since the Arab Spring started in 2011.

As the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaradawi played a key role in this.

In 2004, he founded the The International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS) as an international body of Islamic theologians working to centralize international Islamic jurisprudence.[6]

The IUMS now consists of around 95,000 Muslim scholars globally and 67 Islamic organizations.

Among its most prominent current and former members include imprisoned Saudi Islamic scholar Salman al-Ouda, the former Hamas terrorist leader Ismail Haniyeh, the chief Iranian Sunni cleric Abdolhamid Ismaeelzahi and the Malaysian politician and religious leader Ahmad Awang,

Al-Qaradawi died in 2022 but formed the organization into what it has become and despite attempts to declare him a moderate, al-Qaradi was behind several actions that made it clear that he was a radical Muslim Brotherhood islamist through and through:

• He issued several fatwas (a ruling on a point of Islamic law) for jihad against Israel – explicitly endorsing suicide bombings.
• Antisemitic incitement – framing Jews as enemies of Islam.
• Endorsement of Hamas – publicly blessing their terror campaigns as religiously
mandated.

This ideological framework positioned Israel not as a state actor in conflict but as a religious enemy to be eradicated.

Qaradawi globalised this narrative through the IUMS, embedding it into clerical institutions across continents. The IUMS was designed to be the Muslim Brotherhood’s international umbrella for religious authority. It quickly became a hub for Islamic clerics and activists connected to Hamas, the Brotherhood, and affiliated terror supporting networks.

The IUMS is:
• Designated as a Terror organization by Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Bahrain. (All citing IUMS links to the Muslim Brotherhood.
• Linked to Hamas financing via the Union of Good.
• Positioned in Doha under Qatari patronage.

This positioning gives it resources, political cover, and global reach

Thread of some of the most famous Palestinian terrorists.

Back in the 1970s and 1980s, most people in the West mainly associated Palestine with hijacked planes and terrorist attacks.

These are some of the worst terrorists to come out of Palestine 🧵

Abdullah Yusuf Azzam was also known as the “Father of Global Jihad.”

This Palestinian cleric from Jenin mentored Osama bin Laden at King Abdulaziz University and in Afghanistan and co-founded al-Qaeda's precursor, Maktab al-Khidmat, recruiting thousands of Arab fighters against the Soviets.

His fatwas justified offensive jihad and shaped a generation of terrorists. He was assassinated in 1989.

2/12

The Marxist m-Leninist George Habash founded the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) in 1967.

In many ways, he pioneered international terrorism.

Under his lead, PFLP hijacked multiple planes in 1970 (Dawson's Field hijackings), bombed Swissair Flight 330 (47 killed), and carried out the 1972 Lod Airport massacre (26 dead).

A thread on who will rule Gaza after the war.

Fatah and Hamas, the two dominant Palestinian factions, have clashed since the 1980s over ideology, governance, and resistance.

Their rivalry splits the Palestinian cause, and their relationship has been in ruins since Hamas threw Fatah out of the Gaza Strip following a civil war in the summer of 2007.

🧵 1/20

Founded in 1959 by Yasser Arafat, Fatah embraced secular nationalism, seeking a Palestinian state via diplomacy and guerrilla tactics. It led the PLO, which was internationally recognized as Palestine’s representative in 1974.

🧵 2/20

Hamas, formed in 1987 during the First Intifada, grew out of the Muslim Brotherhood. Its 1988 charter calls for an Islamic state and rejects Israel’s existence.

Hamas’s religious militancy clashes with Fatah’s secular approach and splits Palestinians over resistance strategies.
