Sayyid Qutb's thought offers Muslims a comprehensive worldview. Qutb presents Islam as a comprehensive system of life, for "To God belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth; and indeed God encompasses everything" (Qur'an 4:126). It is because of its comprehensive nature that modern Islamic radicalism, using Qutb as a philosophical foundation, must be understood as more than an ideology of hate. Qutb lays out a road to victory for Islam. This is not just a message of hate for many Muslims. For them, it is a message of hope.

Qutb begins laying out the road by describing what Islam must reject and move away from. This is the jahiliyyah of Western civilization, which Qutb brands as a demented evil. The West represents society and man without God. However, this is not a hopeless and changeless situation for Qutb. Islam must use jihad as the mechanism of change. Jihad will be waged with the aim of returning society to God. Then at the end of the road, Qutb offers his visionary Islamic society, as utopian and far-fetched it may be to the Western thinker. This society reunites man under God's sovereignty.

For Qutb and Islamic radicalism, Islamic society is more than an alternative to the West. It is the ideal for which every Muslim must be willing to give his life. It is the final destiny of every Muslim to witness the triumph of God's system of life. He may witness this triumph on earth through the establishment of an ideal Islamic society. Even if a Muslim fails to achieve this type of earthly victory, he achieves victory because "the highest triumph is the victory of the soul over matter, the victory of belief over pain, and the victory of faith over persecution."117

It is in the hope of this final victory of Islam that Qutb offers more than a hateful ideology for Muslims. With the hope of victory comes the duty of each Muslim to serve God to the fullest extent. Qutb illustrates the price of this duty with chilling emotion in the concluding chapter of Milestones entitled "This is the Way." He begins with the Qur'anic story of the 'Makers of the Pit.' The unbelievers who commit jahiliyyah persecute the believers and the truth of Islam through the use of a pit of fire:
Joe Biden Hillary Clinton Christopher Dodd John Edwards Mike Gravel Dennis Kucinich Barack Obama Bill Richardson Republicans Rudolph Giuliani Mike Huckabee Duncan Hunter John McCain Ron Paul Mitt Romney Tom Tancredo Fred Thompson
