Lost at Sea: Where Is All the Plastic?
Millions of metric tons of plastic are produced annually. Countless large items of plastic debris are accumulating in marine habitats worldwide and may persist for centuries ([ 1 ][1]–[ 4 ][2]). Here we show that microscopic plastic fragments and fibers ([Fig. 1A][3]) are also widespread in the
Conclusion
IT now remains to focus on some of the special questions raised by this study of the Muslim Brothers and to attempt an assessment of its meaning. Accordingly, in this chapter, we will look more closely at the organization, especially the leadership phenomenon so integral to the Society’s dynamic, the question of political action and the related motif of violence, the place of the Society in Islamic modernism, and, finally, the type of member who …
Hasan Al-Banna And The Founding Of The Society Of The Muslim Brothers
Hasan Al-Bann A was born in October 1906, in the province of Buhayra, in the small town of Mahmudiyya, about ninety miles north-west of Cairo. His father, Shaykh Ahmad ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Banna al-Sa’ati, was the local ma’dhun, imam and teacher for the mosque, and student and author of various works on the hadith; he had been educated at Azhar University at the time of Shaykh Muhammad ‘Abduh. In between his religious duties, reading, and studying, …
Communication And Indoctrination
Except during its times of crisis with the government, and then only with a little more difficulty, the Society always managed to make its voice heard, whether on matters of public policy or on organizational business. This was thanks to the close attention it paid to its apparatus of communications, both with the outside world and for the indoctrination of its own members.
Structure And Administration
The first regulations to govern the operation of the Society came into existence, according to Banna, around 1930-1. On 8 September 1945 a revised code, proposed by Banna, was adopted under the title ‘The Fundamental Law of the Organization of the Muslim Brothers’ (Qanun al-nizam al-asasi li-hay’at al-Ikhwan alMuslimin al-’Amma).2 Within three years Banna, ‘in the light of the experience of the past years’, recommended a series of amendments whic…
The Solution
The image of the world in which the Brothers lived was one vividly characterized by decay and humiliation: the corruption of the faith was serious enough, worse still, it resulted not only in the abuse and disregard of its teachings, but in their headlong replacement by foreign values brought by the invader and incompetently resisted by the political, intellectual, and spiritual leaders of the country. Egypt, wrote Banna to Faruq, is ‘at the cros…
Revolution And Dissolution: The Last Phase
ON 26 July the Consultative Assembly of the Society, in extraordinary session, drafted and then released on 1 August a report of its proceedings which featured an expression of pleasure at the success of ‘the blessed movement’ of the army officers in liberating Egypt. The bulk of it consisted of a statement of the views of the Society on the multiple problems of reform-moral, political economic, and social-facing the Egyptian people at the beginn…

Cairo: The Rise To Power
The minor crisis which marred Banna’s departure from Isma’iliyya did not impair the sense of elation and expectation which accompanied the move to Cairo. Banna shared his time between the demands of his school and the new organization. We have seen that the merger with the Society for Islamic Culture provided an operational starting-point for the latter. The branch in Isma’iliyya declared the transfer of the headquarters to Cairo, and continued t…
Re-Formation: The Second Phase
The government of Ibrahim ‘Abd al-Hadi was replaced on 26 July 1949 by that of Husayn Sirri Pasha, in which the Wafd participated until November, when a new cabinet was formed, parliament was dissolved, and preparations were begun by Sirri to hold new elections. On 3 January 1950 the Wafd emerged victorious at the polls and formed the new government on the 12th. The palace had bowed to the inevitable.
The Problem
The very active and often violent history of the Society should not obscure the fact that its ideas and non-political activity were to most members the most important part of their membership and, to even the most political of them, matters of vivid concern. While it spent much time doing battle with the government, it spent even more in the service of the multiple needs of its members, not the least of which were ‘ideological’. Hence we turn to …
Apogee And Dissolution The
The end of the war brought with it a release of tensions and lifted the lid from hostilities which had long raged beneath the controls of martial law. The death of the prime minister, Ahmad Mahir, was the initial expression of this fact. The impact of the war itself on Egypt’s economic, political, and social life had manifold consequences for both the momentum and the direction of the national movement. lssawi, in a few paragraphs, has summed up …
The Solution: Reform And Action
The Muslim state, the Muslim order, as conceived by the Brothers was, however, far from realization. But if the country could not be ‘Islamized’ overnight, much could be done to pave the way towards the final goal. This meant a total reform of the political, economic, and social life of the country by the government from the top, and by the people from below. The government was to be ‘guided’ by a series of reform programmes advocated by the Soci…
