Born in 1937 in Mansoura, Egypt, Ibrahim Munir joined the MB in 1952 after being deeply influenced by the writings of the organization's founder, Hassan Al-Banna. During the Nasserist era he was jailed for 10 years for membership in the MB. After his release in 1975 he spent five years in Kuwait before being granted political asylum in Britain, where he lived until his death and was involved in the establishment of Islamic centers. Munir served many prominent roles in the MB movement. He was appointed to the Guidance Office in 1995 and was subsequently appointed secretary of the international MB and the organization's spokesperson in Europe. In 2009 he became one of the deputies of MB general guide. From September 2020 he served as the movement's acting general guide, standing in for General Guide Muhammad Badie, who is serving a life sentence in Egypt, after the former acting general guide, Mahmoud 'Izzat, was arrested as well. Since the MB split into two factions nine years ago, Munir was head of the faction based in London, opposing the rival faction, based in Istanbul, which did not recognize his authority. Under the Mubarak and Al-Sisi regimes he was tried in absentia for membership in a terror organization.</small></blockquot></ref>

<blockquote><small>
The image makes use of classic Nazi propaganda elements with a picture of Hitler on the right, and the Nazi eagle and swastika on the left. In the foreground is an alleged "quote" from Hitler that reads: "kana bi-imkani an aqtul jami' yahud al-‘m'alam, wa-lakin taraktu ba‘m'dan minhum li-kay ya'rif al-'alam li-madha[sic] aqtuluhum" ("I could have murdered all the Jews of the world, but I left some so the world would know ..."). In the bottom right appears the date 15 May 2011 over the caption "thawrat al-shu‘ub al-‘arabiyya" ("the revolution of the Arab people”). The date indicated was set by various Palestinian media groups as the date for the outbreak of the third Palestinian intifada (armed awakening/resistance) and the return of .. to all of Israel/Palestine.</small></blockquote></ref>]]
