| Abstract | Aboul-Enein discusses the formation of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in Egypt and its repercussions evident in the terrorist societies of today. MB has influenced Eygptian politics since 1928, and its ideals have been adopted and expanded upon greatly. He begins by outlining the experiences of the founder, Hasan al-Banna, who early on emersed himself in Islamic thought and practice. He founded the Muslim Brotherhood in response to the exploitation of Egyptian workers for the Suez Canal Company. The Brotherhood looked to evict secular values and culture out of Egypt and establish an Islamic state; he encouraged King Farouk, Anwar Sadat, and Gamal Nasser to comply. They did not, and neither has Mubarak’s regime. [BN] |
