Muslim World League

The Muslim World League (Rabita al-Alam al-Islami, Arabic: رابطه العالم الاسلامئ‎‎, Arabic pronunciation: [ro:bitˤah al ʕa:lami al isla:mij]) is Pan-Islamic NGO based in Makkah, Saudi Arabia that propagates Islamic teachings. The NGO was funded by the Saudi government from its inception in 1962, with that contribution growing to approximately $13 million by 1980. Because of the Saudi funding, the League is widely regarded as promoting Wahhabism. The Oxford Dictionary of Islam says that "the group has acted as a mouthpiece for the Saudi Arabian government, which finances it."
