Federation of Muslims of France (Fédération des Musulmans de France, FMF)

The Fed­er­a­tion of Mus­lims of France (Fédéra­tion des Musul­mans de France, FMF), for­mer­ly known as the Union of Islam­ic Organ­i­sa­tions of France (UOIF), is one of France’s major Mus­lim umbrel­la orga­ni­za­tions. Found­ed in 1983, it is affil­i­at­ed with the Fed­er­a­tion of Islam­ic Orga­ni­za­tions in Europe (FIOE), which has been wide­ly described as linked to the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood. A French gov­ern­ment-com­mis­sioned report iden­ti­fied the FMF as the pri­ma­ry insti­tu­tion­al expres­sion of the Broth­er­hood in France, accus­ing it of using “entry­ism” to influ­ence pub­lic insti­tu­tions and pro­mote con­ser­v­a­tive reli­gious norms. The FMF has reject­ed these claims, insist­ing it is inde­pen­dent of any for­eign polit­i­cal agen­da and warn­ing against con­flat­ing Islam with polit­i­cal Islamism. It orga­nizes the annu­al Ren­con­tre Annuelle des Musul­mans de France (RAMF), one of the largest Mus­lim events in Europe. It man­ages hun­dreds of reli­gious, edu­ca­tion­al, and char­i­ta­ble asso­ci­a­tions across the country.
