Muslim Brotherhood’s women undertaking task of recruiting Australian women

Nahla Abdel Moneim

The international organization of the Brotherhood seeks to extend its influence within the Australian community through an entity called the Australian Federal Imams or ANIC, relying in this on a strategy to identify with the vocabulary of the surrounding environment whatever it is, according to its expansionary verses based on the lower classes of society.

Of the Brotherhood’s systematic nature, women remain an active variable that exists for the set agenda, meaning that they do not have management authority and are not strongly represented in the supreme structure of the system, but they implement specific purposes that may only pass from those such as giving a false picture of an appreciation of the political and advocacy role of women when societies or circumstances need that.

Sovereign women

One of the most important and most dangerous roles is the group’s endeavor to employ women to attract female peers working in high political classes and dangerous sovereign circles. As a projection of the group’s activity in Australia, we find that the imams repeatedly posted several pictures of their general assembly and periodic societies and no woman appeared in their administrative composition.

By reviewing the names of the members of the Executive Committee of the Council, the names did not have any women but all of them were men, yet the Australian branch of the international organization relies on the choice of women to represent them in the media, political and societal events in addition to exploiting the women’s meetings to attract the women of the sovereign ministries by allocating one of the group’s women to attend these events and show a different picture of what the group believes towards women.

Women of the political class

On March 10, 2020, the group was keen on attending a celebration of the Australian Ministry of the Interior about the role of women in society and the accomplishments they achieved through one of the sisters called (Ramia Abdo Sultan), which the Council says is holding the position of social relations advisor in it, and thus it becomes clear that the Council seeks to form relationships and ties with women of political classes.

Media interface

The employment of women in the media and society did not stop at this point, as the council, which does not represent any woman in its administrative body, relies on Ramia Abdo Sultan to appear in the media to talk about Muslim issues in Australian society as a representative of the council.

Her last media appearance on an Australian screen was on 15 March 2020 to speak on the first anniversary of the terrorist incident against Muslims known as the Christchurch incident, during which an extremist opened fire on worshipers at the Al-Noor Mosque and the Islamic Center of Lenode, New Zealand, killing 51 people and wounding dozens.
