The Christian Democrats (KD) in Sweden are calling for several branches of the Muslim Brotherhood to be added to the European Union's terrorism list. In a debate article published in DN Debatt, party leaders, including Ebba Busch, Magnus Berntsson, and Alice Teodorescu Måwe, express their concern over Europe's hesitation to categorize the Muslim Brotherhood's networks as terrorist organizations. They highlight that such caution is unacceptable given the potential threats these groups pose.

The urgency of this appeal is underscored by the recent actions taken by the United States, which designated the Muslim Brotherhood groups in Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan as terrorist organizations. The KD representatives argue that this U.S. move demonstrates the seriousness of the matter and serves as a precedent for the EU to reassess its stance on the Muslim Brotherhood within its borders. They assert that Europe's lack of decisive action could undermine its security efforts in the face of growing extremism.

This discussion is particularly relevant in the context of rising political tensions surrounding immigration and radicalization in Europe. The KD's position reflects broader anxieties among European nations about the influence of Islamist groups and their implications for social cohesion and national security. As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how EU member states will respond to such calls and what impact this might have on policies regarding Islamist organizations.
