The website of the International Board of Educational Research
and Resources (IBERR), linked to the global Muslim Brotherhood, has
announced an international forum to be held in early April in Leicester,
U.K. According to the
announcement :
This highly anticipated form will bring together leadings experts
involved in new and innovative action research projects from South
Africa, USA, Nigeria, and UK and other countries to resource a variety
of workshops on the latest development within the Islamic education
movement and encourage active participants to raise awareness and
improve standards
IBERR, headquartered in South Africa, is a little well known
organization founded by Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens) that
distributes Islamic educational material around the world. Although its
website has recently been redone and contains very little about the
organization, earlier websites indicated that IBERR members included
some prominent names from the global Muslim Brotherhood. In addition to
Yusuf Islam, these include:
- Abdalla Idris Ali (Islamic Society of North America)
- Abdul Hamid Abu Sulaiman (IIIT USA)
- Ibrahim Hewitt (INTERPAL, Muslim Council of Britain)
The older website described the origins of IBERR as follows:
It is the natural outcome of the deliberations of a core group of Muslim
educationalists committed to implementing the aims and objectives of
the First World Conference on Islamic Education held in Makkah in 1977.
