Sayyid Qutb: The America He Hated

The "philosopher of the militant Islamist movement," Sayyid Qutb, is featured on Christiane Amanpour's God's Warriors (aired August 2007, by CNN). Qutb came to America from Egypt in 1948 to attend college—American culture quickly shocked him. He resented the lack of spiritualism in the U.S. and held disdain for cultural customs that were foreign to his Islamic upbringing. Upon return to Egypt he began preaching about returning Muslim nations to their roots before later being arrested as an extremist, convicted and later executed by the Egyptian government. His vision of an "Islamic awakening" would later be strongly accepted by men such as Usama bin Laden, Ayman al Zawahri and their al Qa'ida brethren.

I have a problem with Christian missionaries also, but the Islamic method of extreme violence and hatred completely overshadows Christian missionaries.

By the way, you people need to stop generalizing about the "west." There is no singular "Western" ideal.

Qutb foresaw americas future which is void of true spirituality and filled with self-proving-violence and new forms of racism replacing old ones.

[nggampal]

qutb mis interpreted the meaning of teachings in the qur'an..

@muimrm Could be worse....they could get influenced by a confident moron like Muhammad.

@msaint2326

I just really hope no one gets their opinions influenced by confident morons like yourself

@muimrm Wow...now that is a showstopper, and I have encountered that belief just as the rumor that she was actually 13, as well. Both I believe to be false. She was in fact 6, then consummated at 9. That is the best academic assessment. I would say on a proof based, comparative basis, that there is just as much a chance that Aisha was 18 as there is that Bahira authored the Quran.

@msaint2326

not all muslims agree what aisha was 6 or 9 years old, some say(and have strong arguments) that she was 18.

if you'd really studied the matter you would have come across that by now.

@muimrm Imagineif your best friend coveted YOUR 6 year old daughter, married her and consummated the marriage at 9 years of age. It's amusing to hear silly responses from muslims like..."oh..girls matured earlier back in those days." WTF??? No no no, muhammad had enough Khadijah and now wanted not just a child to have sex with but multiple wives as well. So he wrote it into the religion and that made it right. NICE!
