A report from the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) alleges that networks aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood have become deeply embedded in Canadian democratic institutions, civil society, electoral politics, and higher education. The report, titled “Assault on Democratic Values and Principles: How Islamist Entryism Weakens Civil Society and Higher Education in Canada,” claims “numerous apparent links” between the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC), a large Muslim charitable organization, and the Muslim Brotherhood. The ISGAP executive director, Charles Asher Small, warned that this influence could undermine Canadian democracy, promoting ideological entryism, antisemitism, and efforts to weaken democratic accountability, potentially posing a broader threat to the U.S. and Western democracies.

The Muslim Association of Canada has denied these allegations, describing the ISGAP report as “recycled Islamophobic tropes” and a “biased, unsubstantiated hit piece.” The organization cited a completed Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) audit, which, according to MAC, dismissed preliminary questions about ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and did not revoke its tax-exempt charitable status. The report also alleges that Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated groups in Canada have influenced the country’s election system, noting a coordinated “Vote Palestine” campaign that secured endorsements from 344 candidates across four political parties in the 2025 election cycle. ISGAP calls for policy changes to reduce the influence of Muslim Brotherhood-aligned groups in Canada’s election system and traditional institutions. Source: Yahoo News
