Magda Elkadi Saleh perpetuates the Muslim Brotherhood dynasty – rooted in its Egyptian origins – now channeling taxpayer dollars in Tampa to funnel students from Islamic schools into parallel professional networks, especially healthcare, all under the deliberate, long-term doctrine of “civilization jihad”.
Florida has a Muslim Brotherhood legacy problem, and it has a name: Magda Elkadi Saleh. A longtime Islamic school founder and senior administrator in the Tampa area, Saleh has spent decades building and leading institutions that shape Muslim education and community infrastructure in Florida. She sits at the center of Tampa’s Islamic school network, publicly celebrated as a civic figure while operating inside the same national institutional architecture federal prosecutors have tied to Muslim Brotherhood infrastructure for decades.
Most Americans have never heard her name, and that is precisely how these networks survive. When the public doesn’t recognize the operator, the machine expands quietly: schools, youth pipelines, nonprofits, and permanent institutional power. This report traces Saleh’s lineage from the Brotherhood’s earliest Egyptian leadership to the system that embedded itself in America and now operates openly in Florida.
As reported at RAIR Foundation USA, Magda’s father Ahmed Elkadi was the General Mas’ul, or national leader, of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood during the 1980s. He served as a pivotal figure in establishing the movement’s foundational infrastructure on American soil. Magda Elkadi Saleh’s maternal and paternal grandfathers were both early Muslim Brotherhood leaders in Egypt.
But newly uncovered documentation reveals that Magda Elkadi Saleh’s family ties go all the way back to the founding of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Her maternal grandfather, influential Islamic economist Mahmoud Abu-Saud, worked closely with the Muslim Brotherhood’s founder and helped expand the movement in its earliest years – tying Saleh’s family directly to the Brotherhood’s Egyptian origin and long-term institutional strategy.
According to a 2004 article at the Washington Post, during a fleeting spark of journalism, the authors revealed that Mahmoud Abu-Saud “helped Banna expand the Brotherhood”. Hassan al-Banna “preached that governments should be ruled by Islamic law, or sharia.” “Members swore obedience to Banna,” the article explained, with followers “pledging iron discipline and secrecy.”
Mahmoud Abu-Saud’s comrade Hassan al-Banna famously coined the phrase “Sina’at al-Mawt“, or “industry of death”, which exalted dying to further the cause of Islam. The late Moroccan Imam Abd al-Salam Yassin explained:
“The trained believer in the industry of death knows why he is dying in order to better his intentions; he knows when he is going to die so that his death will help with the problems of his nation; he knows how he will die so that his death becomes earning and rescue for us and a loss to the enemy; he knows who he is going to die with so that his Jihad integrates with the Jihad of Allah’s Army (Jundallah) and his death will cause the pushing of the Jihad cart forward.”
As his confidant, Magda’s grandfather Mahmoud Abu-Saud took Hassan al-Banna’s violent ideology to heart – and eventually brought it to America.
