EU to Provide $11 Million to Highlight the Contribution of the Qur’an and Islam to European Civilization

As if Europeans weren’t painfully aware of the Qur’an and Islam’s contribution to Europe.

The leftist pandering to Islamic supremacists is civilizational suicide.

EU to provide $11 million to highlight the contribution of the Qur’an and Islam to European civilization

By Robert Spencer, Apr 18, 2025:

The study will cover the period between 1150 and 1850, when Islam had no influence on European civilization except as a constant existential threat. This is wasted money that will be spent on fantasy and provide evidence of nothing more than modern Europe’s capitulation.

“‘The European Qu’ran [sic]’: Falsifying European History With Funding from the EU,” by Hélène de Lauzun, European Conservative, April 16, 2025:

The European Union is preparing to provide €10 million in funding for a scientific research project aimed at highlighting the contribution of the Qu’ran [sic] and the Muslim religion to European civilisation. The influence of the Muslim Brotherhood is evident behind this undertaking.

The objective of this programme, entitled ‘The European Qur’an,’ the idea of which was launched six years ago and which is due to last until 2026, is to “challenge traditional perceptions of the Qur’anic text and well-established ideas about European religious and cultural identities” through travelling exhibitions, conferences, and book publications. The starting point of the project’s initiators is that the influence of Islam on European culture is greatly underestimated. “Our project is built on the conviction that the Qur’an has played an important role in the formation of medieval and early modern European religious diversity and identity and continues to do so,” reads the website homepage. The project aims to cover a chronological span of seven hundred years, from 1150 to 1850, from the Iberian Peninsula to Hungary.

All of this could be part of a field of scientific research (almost) like any other, if a clearly militant design were not at work in the background, as revealed by an investigation conducted by the French conservative newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche: several academics involved in the process are notoriously close to the Muslim Brotherhood.

The French academic Florence Bergeaud-Blackler, known—and persecuted—for her work on the entryism of the Muslim Brotherhood into both academic and political circles, warns against this organisation, which has gradually established itself as an essential “institutional interlocutor,” particularly in its interactions with European programmes, as she explains in an interview with Le Figaro….
