Welcome to IFC

We Are on a Mission
to Stop the
Global Jihad.

IFC exposes jihadist violence and those who excuse it, and works with lawmakers in Washington and Europe to confront it. Everything we do defends one right: to live, speak and worship free from fear.

Our Work

What We Do

We pursue our mission through research, public advocacy, media, education and direct engagement with lawmakers, governments and the public.

Networks linked to the Muslim Brotherhood have spent decades seeking influence in American civic and political life. In 2025 the White House began the process of designating Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations. IFC tracks this infiltration and briefs lawmakers on what it means.

European governments are documenting the same strategy. France's 2025 government report on the Muslim Brotherhood warned of a gradual push into local institutions, associations, sport and education, and German and Austrian authorities monitor Brotherhood-linked networks. IFC works with European lawmakers to confront it.

Our Principles

What Unites the Coalition

We are people of many faiths, nations and traditions, united by one conviction: every human being has the right to live, speak and worship free from fear.

Human dignity

Every person's life and liberty matters equally, without exception.

Freedom of conscience

Every person may believe, doubt, convert or leave a faith without coercion.

Freedom of speech

We defend the right to speak plainly, including the right to criticise ideas and those in power.

Equality before the law

Women, minorities and dissidents deserve the same protection as everyone else.

Moral clarity

We name extremism for what it is, whoever commits it and whoever excuses it.

Truth

Our claims rest on evidence. We correct our errors openly and quickly.

Solidarity

An attack on the freedom of one community is an attack on all of us.

We stand together because extremism thrives on silence and division.
