Members of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s most powerful political party, had previously voiced reservations about accepting the I.M.F. loan.
But the country’s new president, Mohamed Morsi, a former Brotherhood leader, has seemingly put aside those reservations as he grapples with Egypt’s deepening financial crisis.
While the terms of a possible agreement are still being discussed, Mr. Qandil said that the interest rate on the loan, to be disbursed in several parts, would be 1.1 percent.
What Are the Islamic Alternatives?
Modern banks usually offer Islamic financing of two main types: murabahah (cost plus) or ijarah (leasing).
Murabahah: In this type of transaction, the bank purchases the property and then re-sells it to the buyer at a fixed profit. The property is registered in the buyer's name from the beginning, and the buyer makes installment payments to the bank. All costs are fixed at the time of the contract, with the agreement of both parties, so no late payment penalties are permitted. Banks usually ask for strict collateral or a high down payment in order to protect against default.
Ijarah: This type of transaction is similar to real estate leasing or rent-to-own contracts. The bank purchases the property and retains ownership, while the buyer makes installment payments. When payments are complete, the buyer gains 100% ownership of the property.

So why did the leaders accept the loan? that too a group such as 'Muslim Brotherhood'? They could have approached their arab friends for loans right? Egypt was receiving aid all these years due to an agreement that they will not attack Israel or wage a war. What do you call that? To me it seems 'extortion' of some sort Obviously many arabs were not happy with this arrangement. But now that the MB is in power, there are no promises therefore no further aid money either. Loans? Why not?
Taking loans on interest is forbidden in Islam.
What war? Did the UN/NATO wage a war in Egypt? I must have missed the MSM news big time.
Banker funded war, and now giving them loans to 'rebuilt' the country

So the IMF conveniently gives a nice large loan to pay for a country and to ensnare it in debt. Banker funded war, and now giving them loans to 'rebuilt' the country.

Example: I give you a dollar, you use that same dollar and give it to another, they use that same dollar for something. that same dollar has acquired three dollars worth of product, and it keeps going, the rule is nine times before it finds its way back to the printers! So one dollar acquires roughly nine dollars worth of product!
