Abstract

After the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak, who the United States had shouldered for decades before abandoning him, Saudi Arabia gained enormous influence in Egypt with the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafists, and it increased the flow of resources to fund Sunni Islamic movements throughout the Middle East. The Muslim World League (Rabitat al-‘Alam al-Islami), founded in 1962, connected Wahhabis with Salafists in an international network, which included the World Assembly of Muslim Youth, the International Federation of Students and the Muslim Student Association of North America and Canada.
