The Egyptian Dar al-Ifta confirmed a strong relationship between the Muslim Brotherhood and all terrorist organizations.

The Grand Mufti of Egypt, Shawki Allam, said that the Muslim Brotherhood is an organization rooted in violence from its very beginning.

The Mufti referred to the "guide for confronting and combating extremism" developed by Dar al-Iftaa, which took years to prepare.

The guide studies ISIS and Egypt after the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood and also includes other religions.

Dar Ifta began preparing the guide in January 2014, specifically since establishing the Observatory of Takfiri Fatwas and Extremist Views, which monitors fatwas issued by these terrorist organizations.

The Mufti stressed that there are links between all extremist organizations, which can be detected through their ideologies discussed in their books.

Allam also said that the terrorist organization ISIS represents a significant threat to Islam since its emergence.

The terrorist organization contradicts the message of Islam and misinterprets the Prophet's message, and it established itself as a state despite being against the system, according to Allam.

"From this perspective, we realized the importance of preparing a guide to confront the ideas of ISIS, which deals with extremism in all its forms, languages, and beliefs."

The Grand Mufti stated that those organizations' fatwas want to destabilize societies, warning that political Islamization intends to misinterpret and misread the jurisprudence.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Thursday that Greece is looking to cooperate with Libya to halt migration flows.

"I will inform my colleagues over the significant increase in the number of people from eastern Libya and ask for the support of the European Commission so that the issue can be addressed immediately," he said ahead of an EU summit in Brussels.

He added that Libyan authorities should cooperate with Europe to stop migrants sailing from Libya.
