"A 'dangerous hate' app linked to the Muslim Brotherhood has been in the top 100 downloads in the Apple store in a third of European countries since its launch, despite international calls for it to be banned. The Euro Fatwa app, which was launched in April, was created by the European Council for Fatwa and Research, a Dublin private foundation set up by Yusuf Al Qaradawi, the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood. Touted as a 'simplified and concise Fiqh [Islamic jurisprudence] guide to help Muslims adhere to Islam, critics, such as Germany’s security service, say the app is instead a 'radicalisation tool'. The Qatar-based figure is banned from the US, UK and France for his extremist views. 'What makes Qaradawi unique from other extremists are the ways in which his presence is condoned by social media, specifically through Facebook and Twitter’s verified user checkmark,' said Counter-Extremism Project researcher Joshua Fisher-Birch earlier this year."
