  Qutbism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The main tenet of Qutbist ideology is the belief that almost all of Islam is heading into the era of pre-Islamic Arabs or Jahiliyya, and must be reconquered.
Shaykh Abdul-Hakim Murad, a mainstream traditional Sunni scholar blames Qutbist thought for "Islamic terror" and the attacks of 9/11.
Although there is no sect identified as "Qutbist" it is apparent that many followers of Sayyid Qutb share a common ideology and are members of the Salafi "sect" of Islam.

 Qutbism
Osama bin Laden himself has never identified himself with a particular sect of Islam aside from traditional Sunni Islam, but has been influenced by the writings of the Muslim Brotherhood and Sayyed Qutb.

 WAHHABISM - Wahhabis Fighting in Iraq? (The 'Wahhabi' Myth)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The Qutbists are opposed to the creed and scholars of Salafism/"Wahhabism," such that the extremists from amongst them even expel the "Wahhabi" scholars from the fold of Islam.
After mixing with the Egyptian Qutbist groups, they returned to Saudi Arabia, poisoned by the ideas of takfeer (expelling people from the fold of Islam), setting out against governments and causing general mayhem in the lands.
Since that time, the Salafi/"Wahhabi" scholars have been very careful about advising the Salafi masses to stay away from these so-called jihads, because they are fought under unknown banners, and much confusion and tribulation arises from them, because they are not established upon correct Islamic principles.

 Eric the Unread: Muslims should use their vote properly
The Qutbist MAB are holding a conference to inform Muslims about the correct issues to think about before the UK's general election.
The MAB is a Qutbist organisation, founded as the british section of the Muslim Brotherhood.
It is not unknown, incidentally, for extremist organisations to dissimulate and conceal the nature of their ideology, particularly if that ideology is extremist in nature, and is likely to result in them being publicly exposed and censured.

 Hobson's Choice: Bombings in Turkey
Others imply that the Hezbollah infiltrated the Turkish Armed Forces, much the way Qutbist sympathizers are alleged to have infiltrated the Pakistani ISI.
The BBC cites interviews with Turkish security personnel who think the İBDA-C was the perpetrator (it has claimed responsibility for today's bombing as well as Saturday's).
CORRECTION (3 March 2004): 1 In my original posting I used the phrase "Wahhabist" instead of "Qutbist." For Salafi Muslims, please accept my heartfelt apologies for the erroneous association.

 Maroc.NL - Britse regering laat Mi5 mol vrij   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
French intelligence officials have blamed MI5 for sheltering Abu Qatada, a Palestinian Qutbist mouthpiece in the U.K. who has become famous for calling to open acts of terrorism in Algeria as well as other parts of the Muslim and non-Muslim world.
Those who are aware of his situation from amongst the Muslim community know that he would consistently issue these edicts, and then recant from them, only to return to what he had previously held.
As a result of their extremist methodologies of political expediency, these Qutbist groups and individuals are susceptible to being infiltrated by intelligence agencies, wherever they may be.

 What Sect Does Osama Bin Laden Really Belong to?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The fact that he failed to take advantage of studying under the guardianship of the elder scholars of Saudi Arabia led him to mix instead with the Qutbists, a newly arisen sect.
In actuality, Osama Bin Laden and his al-Qaeda movement are not "Wahhabis", but rather, Qutbists.
The Qutbists are those who adhere to the ideology of Sayyid Qutb, a modern proponent of revolutionary thought.

 Understanding Islam Community - 'Al-Qaeda chief' killed in Saudi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Long before today's journalists had even heard of the word Qutbist or Khawarij, the orthodox, senior Salafi scholars throughout the Muslim lands had warned the people about the threat of ideological terrorism and what would necessarily emanate from it.
"Those who set off the explosions in the Kingdom admitted with their own mouths, that they were affected by the Jamaa'atut-Takfir (one of the Egyptian Qutbist groups) and that they were from the group of Osama Bin Laden and al-Masari, and they were spreading their literature.
As such, it becomes clear for all to see that this revolutionary ideology of Qutbism was something new and imported to the lands of the "Wahhabis", and it is a call which is in direct confrontation with the call of the Salafis/"Wahhabis".

 The Evolution of Al-Qaeda: Osama bin Laden and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
This is in direct contradiction to the position of previous Qutbist radicals, who believed that the milestone of overthrowing the national apostate regime naturally came before the establishment of an Islamic state led by a Caliph.
Another important consequence of the war in Afghanistan for Qutbist radicalism was a shift in the interpretation of hijra.
An earlier controversy between those who believed that a period of cult-like separation was necessary while the jamaah built up strength, and those who favoured infiltration of the infidel society, was resolved in Afghanistan.

 Demosophia: Apparently Osama Isn't a Wahhabi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
I'm not sure just how good a source this book is, but the notion that Osama is not considered a "fundamentalist Muslim" might well turn out to be a huge vulnerability for the Islamists.
Frankly, claiming that Qutbist Islamists aren't Wahhabi is a line of argument strongly reminiscent of the old saw that Stalinists weren't true Marxists, for this, that, and the other doctrinal reasons.
I have yet to investigate the specific beliefs of the Qutbists, and probably am not qualified to comment on their religious bona fides.

 International Crisis Group (Crisis Group) - Conflict prevention and resolution
Defeat of Qutbist movements in Egypt and the reorientation of jihadi energies to the international plane.
This reorientation of Egyptian jihadi energies to the international plane, which began in the 1980s and was consummated in 1998, means that the activists involved have abandoned the earlier Qutbist perspective of overthrowing the Egyptian state, but not totally and perhaps only temporarily.
The adaptation of Islamic political movements to democratic principles and the national idea means that North African governments can no longer seriously invoke previous anti-democratic or anti-national ideologies as sufficient justification for continuing to refuse these movements democratic rights, let alone for not implementing broader democratic reforms.

 'Aqoul: King Abdullah takes the throne
The al-sahwa al-islamiyya, the 'Islamic Awakening' inspired by Qutbist thinking, began in the 1960s but took on new significance in response to the transparent way the al-Saud turned to the ulema to legitimise its rule in the 1980s.
Anyway: the second thing to bear in mind is that it is the intermingling of ideas between Deoband Islam, Wahhabi Islam and Qutbist theory that gave rise to the al-Qa'eda.
Deobandi Islam has long been strong in both Afghanistan and Pakistan (it is the strain of Islam taught in those oft-discussed madrassas) and the influx of mujaheddin during the Afghan war accelerated a process of intermingling there.

 LA NUEVA CUBA
A generation of prominent Saudi citizens was exposed to various strains of Salafi thought during the 1970s, and although most Saudi Salafis are not Qutbist revolutionaries, the Qutbists did not miss the opportunity to awaken a revolutionary vanguard.
Although Salafism and Wahhabism began as two distinct movements, Faisal's embrace of Salafi pan-Islamism resulted in cross-pollination between ibn Abd al-Wahhab’s teachings on tawhid, shirk and bid’a and Salafi interpretations of ahadith (the sayings of Muhammad).
Faisal’s broad introduction of Salafi policies involved such a shift, as did the subsequent rejection of Qutbist interpretations of Salafism by pro-Saudi Salafis.

 Doghead
Composed of a diabolic cross section of radical Islmacists that rejected truces and compromises and dedicated to total war against the government, the GIA, in turn, proved factiously divided among its theological lines.
Qutbist (of Sayyid Qutb fame) from the Islamic Brotherhood that originated in Egypt rejected Salafism; the more indigenous and intellectually inclined Djazarists (Algierianist) were despised as too Western by the Salafist; and the takfiris viewed Algerian society en toto as impious and subject to excommunication.
The deluge of massacres unleashed by the GIA horrified the devout middle class of Algeria and brought the FIS and the Algerian Islamic party Hamas into negotiations with the government to protect their interests against an Islam gone mad.

From there, they spread their revolutionary Islamist ideas-including the organizational and ideological tools borrowed from European totalitarianism-by means of a network that reached into numerous religious schools and universities.
Most young Islamist cadres today are the direct intellectual and spiritual heirs of the Qutbist wing of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Banna and the Brotherhood advocated the creation of a solidarity network that would reach across the various schools of Islam.[12] Perhaps in part because of this ecumenism, we can detect the Brothers' influence as early as 1945 in Iran, the homeland of most of the world's Shi'ites.

 'Just World News' by Helena Cobban: Fallujah: the new world "order"
As I argued in another thread, one of the saddest things about the situation in Iraq is that the Badrists (though not the Sadrists) are fighting alongside the US and its puppet regime.
Russia would have to choose once and for all which side it was on vis-a-vis Iran if a real crisis arose, as opposed to the sort of 'phony war' we have now between Iran and the West.
For those who don't know, Qutbists are followers of Sayyid Qutb (1906-1966), and may be described as like Wahhabis but lacking in loyalty to or respect for the Saudi regime and its clerics.

Even more unfortunately, al-Qaeda does seem to have some long-range planners -- an al-Qaeda General Staff, if you will -- who are not blinded by their own Qutbist rhetoric used for propaganda, recruitment, and general public relations.
Joshua is probably correct concerning al-Qaeda's final goals; he is certainly correct in the proposition that jihad, under Qutbist doctrine, does not end until Judgement Day.
But rational assumptions, and even al-Qaeda's own estimates, conclude that al-Qaeda would have to retrench and develop its own internal state structure in the unlikely event that it acheived all its goals and became a Pan-Muslim Caliphate.

Most didn't suffer the fate of Qutb, executed in 1966, but many Islamists were jailed and others exiled.
Since, during part of that time, Nasser was fighting a proxy war with the Saudis in Yemen, he must've taken great pleasure that Qutbists were busily publicizing their new ideas in the kingdom, notions like perpetual jihad and death to infidel Muslim leaders.
The domestic insurgents who've attacked the kingdom in the last year are only Wahhabis in name; their program is Qutbist.

 [No title]
The Taliban saga in Afghanistan had an impact on Pakistani politics, where the Jamaati-Islami (whose ideology was very close to that of the Muslim Brotherhood) jumped on to the neofundamentalist bandwagon by joining the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA, a coalition of proTaliban movements).
Having won the elections in the North-West that the survivors of the Qutbist movement joined Bin Laden and not the Islamist movements.
In conclusion, there is no verse in the Koran ordering an "Islamic state," therefore to equate, as Koenraad Elst and other cultural racists do, neofundamentalist radicalism with ‘all of Islam’, is false at best.

 'Just World News' by Helena Cobban: Gitmo: significant victory for human rights   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The Qutbist strategy as outlined in the Zarqawi letter (it matters not whether this was real or bogus, since the whole Qutbist project is in my view a conscious or unconscious Western pawn), is to combine the anti-Western radical Sunni uprising with an assault on Shi'i.
To the extent that Badrists and SCIRI supporters in Iraq allow themselves to be used as occupation cat's-paws, they play into this strategy, and as I have pointed out the Qutbists have been announcing a number of killings of Badrist 'collaborators' in their communiques.
This I regard as a terrible weakness in the whole Iraqi anti-occupation struggle, and Muqtada al-Sadr has certainly appealed repeatedly to both sides to reconsider this set of alignments.

This discussion about Saudi Arabia reveals the context-specificity of radical neo-Wahhabism, which is more an outgrowth of the teachings of Sayyid Qutb and his even more extreme interpreters than of Wahhabist thought.
It was the meeting of the twain—Wahhabi social and cultural conservatism, and Qutbist political radicalism— that produced the militant variety of political Islam that eventually came to be represented by al-Qaeda.
Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda’s financier and figurehead, represented the Wahhabi strain in the organization; Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad and al-Qaeda’s chief ideologue, leading strategist, and intellectual powerhouse, represented its radical Qutbist heritage.
