The orphan scandal : Christian missionaries and the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood / Beth Baron. - 1 online resource (viii, 245 pages)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Prologue : summer of 1933 : the Turkiyya Hasan affair -- Part I. The best of intentions : Evangelicals on the Nile. Forgotten children : caring for the orphaned and abandoned -- Winning souls for Christ : American Presbyterians in Cairo -- Speaking in tongues : Pentecostal revival in Asyut -- Nothing less than a miracle : the Swedish Salaam Mission of Port Said -- Part II. Unintended consequences : Islamists and the state. Fight them with their own weapons : the origins of the Muslim Brotherhood -- Combating conversion : the expansion of the anti-missionary movement -- Crackdown : suppressing the League for the Defense of Islam -- The battle for Egypt's orphans : toward a Muslim welfare state.
On a sweltering June morning in 1933 a fifteen-year-old Muslim orphan girl refused to rise in a show of respect for her elders at her Christian missionary school in Port Said. Her intransigence led to a beating-and to the end of most foreign missions in Egypt-and contributed to the rise of Islamist organizations. Turkiyya Hasan left the Swedish Salaam Mission with scratches on her legs and a suitcase of evidence of missionary misdeeds. Her story hit a nerve among Egyptians, and news of the beating quickly spread through the country. Suspicion of missionary schools, hospitals, and homes increase.
