Council of European Muslims

The Fed­er­a­tion of Islam­ic Orga­ni­za­tions in Europe (FIOE), found­ed in 1989 and based in Brus­sels, was for decades the prin­ci­pal umbrel­la orga­ni­za­tion coor­di­nat­ing Islam­ic asso­ci­a­tions across Europe. In 2020 it for­mal­ly rebrand­ed as the Coun­cil of Euro­pean Mus­lims (CEM), retain­ing the same lead­er­ship, head­quar­ters, and orga­ni­za­tion­al struc­ture. From its incep­tion, FIOE served as the main insti­tu­tion­al frame­work rep­re­sent­ing the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood in Europe, link­ing nation­al Islam­ic cen­ters and asso­ci­a­tions through a com­mon ide­o­log­i­cal and admin­is­tra­tive net­work. Its declared mis­sion has been to pro­mote reli­gious edu­ca­tion, coor­di­nate Islam­ic activ­i­ties, and rep­re­sent Mus­lim com­mu­ni­ties before Euro­pean insti­tu­tions, but its lead­er­ship and affil­i­ates have con­sis­tent­ly reflect­ed Broth­er­hood ide­ol­o­gy. FIOE/CEM has also estab­lished key affil­i­at­ed enti­ties such as the Euro­pean Coun­cil for Fat­wa and Research (ECFR), the Euro­pean Insti­tute for Human Sci­ences (EIHS), and the Forum of Euro­pean Mus­lim Youth and Stu­dent Organ­i­sa­tions (FEMYSO), form­ing the core of the Brotherhood’s Euro­pean insti­tu­tion­al presence.
