Islamic Association in Sweden
The Islamic Association in Sweden, (Arabic: الرابطة الأسلامية في السويد) (Swedish: Islamiska förbundet i Sverige, IFiS) was formed in 1987 by the Stockholm organisation Islamiska Förbundet i Stockholm, which runs Stockholm mosque.[1] IFiS headquarters are located at Stockholm Mosque.[2] According to the IFiS charter, it is a founding member in the Muslim Brotherhood-associated umbrella organisation Federation of Islamic Organisations in Europe whose guidelines it follows.[2][3] It has started the following organisations, either alone or together with others:[4]
- Islamic Relief in Sweden
- Muslim Youth of Sweden
- Islamiska informationsföreningen (IIF) (tr: Islamic information society)
Omar Mustafa is chairman of IFiS since 2011. On 7 April 2013 he was elected to the party committee of the Swedish Social Democratic Party, which was noted by anti-racist magazine Expo as Mustafa, as chairman of IFiS, had invited Salah Sultan and Ragheb Al-Serjany both of whom had spread antisemitic views in al Jazeera interviews and that he also "likes" Egyptian imam Yousef Al-Qaradawi on Facebook.[5] During the Easter of 2013, IFiS invited Yvonne Ridley and Azzam Tamimi to a seminar to a conference it organised together with Ibn Rushd and Sveriges Unga Muslimer.[5] As a result of the discoveries, Mustafa left the Social Democratic Party committee and party.
