Yet their actions speak otherwise...if Islam has its own law regarding riba, why have they not got an alternative to the Riba system?

Since the Muslim Brotherhood was founded one of its goals was removing riba from the Muslims lands.

They have made Riba Banking halal by calling it Islamic Banking.

This is incorrect. Islamic Banking is not the same thing as Riba banking. The Muslim Brotherhood's party in Egypts initial policy is to allow the irreligious to use riba banks, but to ensure that real riba free banking is available throughout Egypt.

The fact that most existing Islamic banks have run after profits at the expense of their true halal status does not mean that there is anything wrong with Islamic Banking if it done with integrity.

True Islamic banking has been promoted by scholars like Mufti Taqi Uthmani (db) (see
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=S...page&q&f=false), who have criticized the Islamic banks engaged in dubious practises.

Historically they have used Socialist/Communist Revolutionary methods, calling themselves the vanguard against the Jahili sea of non Muslim society against which Terror re-named Jihad is acceptable.

This is not accurate. You are confusing Qutbists with mainstream Muslim Brotherhood. Many of Syed Qutb's more controversial ideas have been denounced by the mainstream Muslim Brotherhood.

Furthermore the Muslim Brotherhood itself has nothing to do with terrorism, indeed it has waged quite a war of words against al-Qaeda (see http://www.ikhwanweb.com/articles.php?pid=86&start=0)

They are not to be trusted already they have made the haraam into halal this is not acceptable.

Brother you are waging a war of words against the Muslim Brotherhood and making various unfounded accusations against them. All round you have many misconceptions about them.

Please remember that it is easier to critisize those who are doing something than it is to do it yourself.
