ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on al-Muslimun magazine and al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun newspaper. A section by al-Bahi al-Kholi, for instance, entitled "Stories from the Qur'an", drew on lessons learned from the Qur'an which, it was argued, were relevant to present-day problems. The stage of MB media marked the meta-narrative of "Islam for humanity", and the focus here was on proving the superiority of Islam as a system and ideology on a par with existing systems such as communism. The pamphlet war broke out after the suspension of al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun, with the Brotherhood flooding the capital and cities with leaflets opposing the regime, drawing on Islamic rhetoric, while al-Daᶜwa magazine, founded by Saleh Ashmawi on 10 January 1951, continued as a weekly magazine in the meantime. The campaign against Nasser has remarkably continued to the present day, with numerous memoirs of senior Brothers who were imprisoned during Nasser's era, accusing him of scorning and rejecting Islam.
