The Swedish government admits the presence of the Muslim Brotherhood in the country's institutions.
The Swedish government has opened an investigation into Islamist infiltration and the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood. A report from France identified Sweden as one of the main hotspots of Islamism in Europe.
The Swedish government has announced the launch of a official investigation into Islamist infiltration and the possible influence of the Muslim Brotherhood on the country's society and politics. In the official statement, it is acknowledged that there are signs that ’political Islam“ has taken over neighbourhoods, schools and parts of the welfare system, and even the political structures.
According to the public statements published in the’Express, The aim of the investigation is to “confront with full force” the practices that, according to the government, could challenge democratic and coexistence values. A government spokesperson summed up the official position as follows: “We want to show the Muslims of Sweden that society will not yield to these forces.". Muslims with a more liberal view on issues such as equality or homosexuality should feel that they can now step forward..”
«Islamism doesn't want constitutions, it wants Sharia.»
The Minister of Education, Simona Mohamsson, was one of the clearest voices in denouncing the impact of political Islam in the country. According to her, “Islamism does not want constitutions; it wants Sharia. It does not want integration, but isolation. It wants men to control women and denies people the right to love whom they choose. We are not fighting Islam; we are fighting the Islamists who exploit religion to undermine our society.”
Mohamsson also warned about the naivety of some local political leaders, and cited as an examplethe decision by the Göteborg Social Democrats to allocate prayer rooms to Islamist groups. The minister emphasised that “l’Islamism is not just about violence and terrorism, but also about the systematic use of democratic rules to erode our values.. We have allowed them to expand for too long, And now it's time to stop it..”
Islamism in Sweden: from schools to institutions
The research will be directed by a Commission of experts on security, terrorism and social sciences and specialists who have worked for years on the study of political Islam in Sweden.
A member of the commission expressed satisfaction that the government has decided to act after decades of warnings from the academic world. In remarks to Expressen, he noted that, If the Muslim Brothers can continue with their activities, they will “educate children and young people in a completely anti-liberal and anti-democratic vision.”. The researcher welcomed that, at last, “all the knowledge produced by experts is to be applied,” and added: “I had been waiting for it for twenty years.”
An expert in terrorism has pointed out that in Sweden there are “about 25 or 30 people who work directly for the Muslim Brothers”, but that the movement “uses dozens of front organisations to channel public funds”. “Ultimately — he added —, It is about Islamising society from the grassroots up to its institutions..”
The impact of the French report on Sweden
The immediate origin of this research lies in a Official report published in France during the summer of 2025, which warned about the expansion of organised Islamism in Europe and It directly pointed to Sweden as one of the main focus areas of activity for the Muslim Brotherhood.. The document described the Nordic country as “the home of an active branch of the movement”, with especially favourable conditions for its growth. Despite the gravity of the report, For Macron, Islamist infiltration is «a paranoia».».
According to this analysis, the influence of the Islamist movement in Sweden would be explained by the combination of International financing, Very permissive multicultural policies i links between certain religious groups and local political organisations. These conclusions sparked an immediate debate in the country, questioning whether the Swedish integration model might be being used by ideological structures that reject the democratic values underpinning it.
Decades of silence on Islamist infiltration
With this initiative, Sweden puts an end to decades of institutional silence on Islamist infiltration in social and political structures. The government insists that The investigation is not an attack on the Muslim faith., but a Defence of the democratic system against movements that want to replace it with a religious agenda.
The result of the research will determine to what extent The Swedish model of multiculturalism can coexist with movements that reject the separation between religion and politics.. The executive plans to publish the first conclusions. before spring 2026, with specific recommendations on funding, education and institutional oversight.
