International Union of Muslim Scholars: Terrorism in the Guise of Religion by By SALEM ALKETBI

TJP : As posted on their official website, the Union calls for "armed jihad" as a religious requirement​.  Are America and Europe waiting for another 9/11 before taking action against organizations openly calling for violence and terror in the name of religion?

This question is prompted by the recent statement by the International Union of Muslim Scholars’ (IUMS) Jurisprudence and Fatwa Committee on March 28, 2025. 

Jew Hater Youssef al-Qaradawi - Theologian Of Terror

Posted on their official website and amplified by Union president Ali Al-Qaradaghi on his personal X/Twitter account, this statement, calling for “armed jihad” as a religious requirement, is a clear example of inflammatory rhetoric promoting terrorism under religious pretexts, seeking to recruit Muslims worldwide – including Western residents – into violent extremism.

This pronouncement continues the IUMS’s long history of similar rhetoric. Despite marketing itself as “moderate and middle-way,” the Union’s rhetoric and actions expose its true function as a media and religious arm of terrorist groups, especially the Muslim Brotherhood. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, who founded the organization in 2004, was a key Muslim Brotherhood figure. 

Experts widely view the IUMS as a dangerous platform using religious cover to promote violent extremism. Their recent statement explicitly calls for armed jihad – a dangerous recurring theme directly encouraging terror.

The problem goes further. The statement also demands “financial jihad” to support the so-called “resistance,” effectively calling for worldwide financial backing of terror organizations.

The Union also pushes for military intervention and religion-based military alliances, deepening religious conflict and global divisions. Such calls threaten international stability and undermine decades of peace efforts.
