MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD -
1976: Faisal Islamic Bank of Egypt Founded, Funds Political Growth of Islamist Movement
Founded in 1976, Faisal Islamic Bank of Egypt (FIBE) was part of the BANKING EMPIRE BUILT BY SAUDI PRINCE MOHAMMED EL-FAISAL. SEVERAL OF THE FOUNDING MEMBERS ARE LEADING MEMBERS OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, INCLUDING THE “BLIND SHEIKH,” SHEIKH OMAN ABDUL-RAHMAN.
The growth of Islamic banking directly funds the political growth of the Islamist movement, and ALLOWS THE SAUDIS TO PRESSURE POORER ISLAMIC NATIONS, LIKE EGYPT, to shift their policies to the right. The Islamic banking boom is CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEOLIBERAL FREE-TRADE PHILOSOPHY OF THE CHICAGO SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS, AND WITH THE FREE-TRADE PRESCRIPTIONS OF THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND, AND with conservative THINK-TANKS LIKE THE VIRGINIA-BASED ISLAMIC FREE MARKET INSTITUTE. FIBE is also CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE INFAMOUS Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), which will found to be DEEPLY IMPLICATED IN THE ILLEGAL ARMS AND NARCOTICS TRADES, AND with the funding of terrorist organizations when it collapses in 1991.
Investigators will also find that BCCI held $589 million in “unrecorded deposits,” $245 million of which were placed with FIBE. [Dreyfuss, 2005, pp. 164 - 175]
The Muslim Brotherhood, Saudi Princes, Blind Sheikhs, the neoliberal free-trade philosophy of the CHICAGO School of Economics (including the Carbon Trade Exchange - Rogers), IMF, Islamic think-tank in Virginia - BCCI - ALL closely associated with the Faisal Islamic Bank of Egypt who were found to be deeply implicated in illegal arms and narcotic trading. The Chicago School of Economics also give courses in Microfinance/MicroCapital.
Interesting inter-connections!
