• Publisher of the International Journal of Science and Technology
• Affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood
  

A subsidiary of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Foundation for International Development (FID) is the publisher of the International Journal of Science and Technology (IJST), whose editor-in-chief (as of 2011) was the Canada-based Dr. Imtiaz Ahmad. Ahmad has served as president of such organizations as the Association of Muslim Scientists and Engineers of North America, the Association of Pakistani Scientists and Engineers of North America, the Computer Science Association of Canada, and ISNA.

FID was originally registered in Plainfield, Indiana by Iqbal Unus, a longtime member of Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated organizations including those in the SAAR network. The Indiana registration dissolved in 1994 but the organization remained operational beyond that. As of 1995, Unus was executive editor of the International Journal of Science and Technology.

According to the mid-1990s brochure ISNA for Islam and Muslims: Lighting the Way to Unity, FID is an ISNA “service institution” that "complements the activities of the professional associations in such areas as resource development and training."

FID has a history of ties with various Muslim Brotherhood fronts, including the Association of Muslim Scientists and Engineers, the Association of Muslim Social Scientists, the International Institute of Islamic Thought, the Islamic Medical Association, and the now-defunct SAAR Foundation. The "Acknowledgements" section of an IIIT publication from the late 1980s noted that FID had organized a workshop "in collaboration with" those five groups, which provided "facilities, staff and financial support" for the event.

FID was named in a May 1991 Muslim Brotherhood document -- titled "An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America" -- as one of the Brotherhood’s 29 likeminded "organizations of our friends" that shared the common goal of destroying America and turning it into a Muslim nation. These "friends" were identified by the Brotherhood as groups that could help teach Muslims "that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands ... so that ... God's religion [Islam] is made victorious over all other religions."
