His growing political influence has sparked concerns across Belgium, raising the possibility that it could become Europe’s first nation where Sharia law takes hold through democratic processes.
Fouad Ahidar: The Architect of Belgium’s Islamic Shift
Fouad Ahidar’s journey from a Moroccan immigrant to a rising political force in Belgium mirrors the larger threat posed by political Islam. Initially a member of the left-wing Socialist Party (Vooruit), Ahidar was expelled in 2023 after his vocal support for Hamas and opposition to banning Halal slaughter. The Halal slaughter practice, beyond its religious significance, has been linked to financial flows benefiting extremist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah.

This success was further solidified during the October local elections, where TFA gained 10.8% of the vote in Brussels, translating to five seats in the capital’s local government. TFA’s victories are not isolated events—they represent a broader trend of political Islam gaining ground in Belgium. […]
