The Islamic Egyptian Society of NSW
The Islamic Egyptian Society of NSW is the main group in Australia. Its members have long allowed some uncertainty about their affiliation. But in the aftermath of Morsi fall, and as journalists began to take an interest in the Brothers’ supports, the Islamic Egyptian Society admitted being part of the organization.
The Islamic Egyptian Society has existed since the early seventies and claims to represent the majority of Muslims in Australia. It was founded by Islamist opponents of the Egyptian regime.
In 1986, the Australian Muslim Brotherhood established an Arkana College school.
They also created a council of Imams: the Australian National Imams Council that elects the Mufti of Australia
The Islamic Egyptian Society boasts excellent relations with Al-Azhar University as well as the organization of some theologians’ trip during the month of Ramadan. A magazine, Ahoda was published until 2006.
In May 2006, while Egypt was fighting the Muslim Brotherhood under Mubarak regime, they were received with pomp and ceremony at the Embassy in Canberra. In their magazine, the Brothers published photos and thanked Ambassador Mohamed Tawfiq, his wife and all the embassy staff.
“All, young and old, have enjoyed the party, as if they had been brought back to their homeland, Egypt” (Alhoda, May 2006)
A few months later, the company bought a piece of land for AUD 900,000 (€ 650,000). It raised the money fast enough, but had to abandon the project as it had problems to bring it up to standard.
Several presidents have succeeded one another since the organization creation:
