Patient Extremism: The Many Faces of the Muslim Brotherhood

Introduction

In the 1988 charter that announced its existence, Hamas introduced itself as “one of the wings of the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine.” The charter then informs the reader that the Brotherhood “is a universal organization that constitutes the largest Islamic movement in modern times.”1 That is no idle boast. The Brotherhood has scores of national branches across the globe. Among those branches, Hamas stands out for its unbroken record of violence and its readiness to massacre men, women, and children, as it did in southern Israel on October 7, 2023. Yet the ideas that animate Hamas are not unique; they are part of the Brotherhood’s common heritage. These ideas have also spread far beyond the Brotherhood, animating al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, and many other lethal organizations.

Face à la crise, une autre Europe

La crise est en Europe, l’Europe est en crise. Nous l’analysions en 2012. Si les choses se sont aggravées, les origines de la crise économique restent les mêmes : la crise des économies et des sociétés européennes est avant tout une crise de la domination d’une certaine économie, financiarisée au détriment des producteurs européens.

How Europe Kept the Lights On: The Gas Suppliers of 2025

Europe entered 2025 at a level of energy security that would have seemed out of reach only a few years ago. Gas storage exceeded 70% in January, an exceptionally high level for the season, while overall demand remains roughly 15% lower than in previous years. This decline is not temporary but the result of several factors that have permanently reshaped the continent’s energy landscape. Mild winters have reduced heating needs, the energy‑saving policies adopted after 2022 have now become embedded in industrial and household behavior, and the gradual de‑industrialization in certain sectors, especially in Germany, has lowered demand in ways that will be difficult to fully reverse.

La doctrine indo-européenne du combat et de la victoire

Introduction : histoire du texte et contexte

la-doctrine-aryenne-du-combat-et-de-la-victoire.pngLa réflexion qui suit résume l’essai de Julius Evola La doctrine indo-européenne de la lutte et de la victoire et harmonise le ton avec votre traduction. Le texte s’articule autour d’une distinction centrale entre une vision moderne et sécularisée de la guerre et une vision indo-européenne traditionnelle dans laquelle la lutte revêt une importance rituelle, initiatique et métaphysique. Historiquement, l’ouvrage a été publié en italien chez Edizioni del Ar (1970) ; une édition française a suivi chez Pardès (1996). Le matériel s’appuie sur des conférences et des notes développées par Evola dès les années 1940. Dans ce qui suit, l’accent est mis sur le fondement symbolique, religieux et métaphysique de l’action, avec quatre sous-titres thématiques.
