Muslim World League

The Muslim World League (MWL) is a reactionary Islamic organization created by the Saudi monarchy to fight against secularism and socialism. It denounced Arab nationalism and considers the achievements of Arabs to be achievements of Islam.^[1]

History

In May 1962, Crown Prince Faisal invited 111 scholars into Mecca to found the MWL. In 1969, at the request of Jordan, Faisal created the Organization of the Islamic Conference, which created an international news agency.^[1]
