The book collects primary sources consisting of documentation and statement in Arabic and Swedish from various media channels, statutes, interviews and archived material from government institutions confirming the doublespeak used by IFiS to hide the organizational relationship with the International MBs network. In this article, the author defends the thesis of the book, replicate the book’s critic and presents evidence of doublespeak, the relationship between different organizations in Sweden, Egypt and international organizations and present ideological references for the thesis.
