An Islamic student group helping to drive France’s chaotic leftist-driven protests is an alleged Muslim Brotherhood front.

Muslim Students of France repeatedly posted on social media in support of the anti-government protests over school conditions that have descended into rioting since last month. A May 2025 French parliamentary investigation labeled the club a “student branch of the Muslim Brotherhood,” the decades-old Islamic fundamentalist movement that created Hamas and which maintains political connections worldwide, according to a summary by the American think tank Middle East Forum.
