The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia helped the Brotherhood financially for "over half a century",[17][18] but the two became estranged during the Gulf War, and enemies after the election of Mohamed Morsi. Inside the kingdom, before the crushing of the Egyptian MB, the brotherhood was called a group whose "many quiet supporters" made it "one of the few potential threats" to the royal family's control.[233]

The brotherhood first had an impact inside Saudi Arabia in 1954 when thousands of Egyptian brethren sought to escape president Gamal Abdel Nasser's clampdown, while (the largely illiterate) Saudi Arabia was looking for teachers—who were also conservative pious Arab Muslims—for its newly created public school system.[234] The Muslim Brotherhood's brand of Islam and Islamic politics differs from the strict Salafi creed, Wahhabiyya, officially held by the state of Saudi Arabia, and MB members "obeyed orders of the ruling family and ulama to not attempt to proselytize or otherwise get involved in religious doctrinal matters within the Kingdom. Nonetheless, the group "methodically ... took control of Saudi Arabia's intellectual life" by publishing books and participating in discussion circles and salons held by princes.[235] Although the organization had no "formal organizational presence" in the Kingdom,[236] (no political groups or parties are allowed to operate openly)[18] MB members became "entrenched both in Saudi society and in the Saudi state, taking a leading role in key governmental ministries".[237] In particular, many established themselves in Saudi educational system. One expert on Saudi affairs (Stephane Lacroix) has stated: "The education system is so controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood, it will take 20 years to change—if at all. Islamists see education as their base" in Saudi Arabia.

its undeniable the previous links between the Saudis and the MB

 

Dreyfus? The Saudis don't tell Dreyfus what they are doing. They wanted the MB to stay in Egypt and out of KSA.

 

fact is, the Saudis did help the MB until a few years ago

 

The way that he handled money certainly got Arafat some
critics.
