	Sayyid Qutb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		In 1964, Qutb, having suffered torture and ten years of incarceration in Nasser's prisons, published his best known work, Milestones, (Ma'alim fi'l Tariq: alternate translation of the title is Signposts) a work that has inspired some of the most extreme expressions of Islamic revivalism, such as Islamic Jihad and Takfir wa-l Hijra.
		Qutb was an employee at the time in the Egyptian Ministry of Education.
		Qutb was deeply offended by the racism he observed (and experienced first-hand) and was scandalized by the openness between the sexes in American society.

	Great Muslims of The 20th Century
		Sayyid Qutb was born on 8 October 1906, in a village called "Musha" in the township of Qaha in the province of Assyout in Egypt.
		Sayyid Qutb resumed his job as a teacher and inspector in the ministry of education before he resigned in October 1952 (again because of his repeated philosophical disagreements with the minister of education and many of his colleagues).
		Sayyid Qutb will always be remembered for his legacy of clearly defining the basic ideas of the Oneness and sovereignty of Allah, the clear distinction between pure faith and the association of partners with Allah (Shirk) overt and hidden, and the only hope for salvation of humanity.

	Sayyid Qutb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Qutb was all his life the believer in conservative Islamic values, but it was his experiences in the USA that formed the ideology that he now is remembered for.
		Qutb promoted the idea that governments led by human ideals were illegal; a society should be governed according to the laws of Islam, which he believed were manifest in the Sharia.
		Qutb's legacy has been preserved by many, and among them is his brother Muhammad Qutb, who fled to Saudi Arabia and became a professor of Islamic Studies.

		Sayyid Qutb (9 October 1906 in Musha – executed on 29 August 1966) was an important theoretician of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood.
		Qutb concluded that the unity of God and His sovereignty meant that human rule – government legislates its own behavior – is illegitimate.
		Qutb was let out of prison at the end of 1964 at the behest of the then Prime Minister of Iraq, Abdul Salam Arif, for only 8 months before being rearrested in August 1965.

	Wikipedia: Islamism
		Though the Deobandi philosophy is puritanical and wishes to remove non-Muslim (i.e., Hindu or Western) influence from Muslim societies, it was not especially violent or proselytising, confining its activity mostly to the establishment of madrassas, or Muslim religious schools.
		Sayed Abul Ala Mawdudi was an important early twentieth-century figure in India, then, after independence from Britain, in Pakistan.
		Qutb was one of the key philosophers in the Muslim Brotherhood movement, which began in Egypt in 1928 and was banned (but still exists) following confrontations with Egyptian president Gamal Abdul Nasser, who jailed Qutb and many others.

	Who was Sayed Qutb? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Sayyid Qutb (1906-66) was born in a small town in Upper Egypt and moved to Cairo as an adolescent in order to further his education.
		Qutb's lack of knowledge in Islam coupled by his jailing led him to change his understanding of Islam according to the circumstances he was faced with.
		This environment caused Qutb to form a particular outlook of the world, and his absence of proper grounding in the methodology of the early rightly-guided Muslims caused him to fall into the dangerous orientation of expelling people from the fold of Islam due to their sins...

	PWHCE Middle East Project: Sayyid Qutb Profile
		Qutb was an admirer of America until, in his capacity as an employee of the Egyptian education department, he travelled to America in 1948, remaining until 1951.
		Qutb believes that the creative energy of the West is spent, with the systems of the West bankrupt and drawing on Marxist models which themselves have failed.
		According to Maududi's and Qutb's interpretation, Muhammad (and other prophets) had endured a period of persecution and weakness when they set themselves apart from society and declared that all authority was due to Allah alone (thus challenging the human wielders of power).

		Sayed Qutb's Guideposts argues that leaders should be accepted not merely because they are Muslim.
		Qutb was executed on the gallows of Tura Prison in 1966.

		For Qutb, all non- Muslims were infidels - even the so-called "people of the book", the Christians and Jews - and he predicted an eventual clash of civilisations between Islam and the west.
		Qutb and Maududi inspired a whole generation of Islamists, including Ayatollah Khomeini, who developed a Persian version of their works in the 1970s.
		The works of al-Banna, Qutb and Maududi were also to become the main sources of reference for the Arabs who fought alongside the Afghan mujahideen in the 1980s.

	Remembering Sayyid Qutb
		In this Sayyid Qutb departed from Maulana Maudoodi's articulation of "partial jahiliyyah" in which the late Pakistani scholar was prepared to concede to the systems prevalent in Muslim societies some room for modification and hence a degree of respectability.
		Qutb's disappointment at seeing the supposedly respectable organs of public opinion indulging in a vicious attacks on the character of a leading Islamic leader can be imagined.
		According to the Sadat's own account, Sayyid Qutb was the main ideologue of the Free Officers' 'revolution.' Had the coup failed, it is clear that Sayyid Qutb would have paid with his life.

		The perceived racism, materialism, and 'loose' sexual conduct that he saw in the United States is believed by some to have been the impetus for his rejection of Western values and his move towards radicalism upon returning to Egypt.
		The conditions he experienced in prison, it has been argued, pushed Qutb to the conclusion that the Egyptian state was totally illegitimate.
		This incident, according to some, transformed Qutb’s view of the Nasser government, which he considered to be unparalleled in its cruelty.

		Elsewhere, Qutb said, "The time has reverted back to its original form on the very day this religion came to mankind with the phrase 'There is no deity worthy of worship other than Allah.' For mankind has apostatized and gone to the worship of the servants..."
		In fact, Qutb went to such lengths of extremism that he refused to pray the obligatory Friday congregational prayer, believing that its obligation was no longer binding due to the fact that there was no Caliph ruling over the Muslim lands.
		Anyone who still insists on hanging on to certain personalities from amongst the Islamic "thinkers" such as Sayyid Qutb, Abu Alaa Maududi, and Hasan al-Banna, and refuses to reject the deviation of the contemporary groups and movements, has removed themselves from the methodology of Salafism, even if they attempt to ascribe themselves to it.

		This was the appeal of Sayed Qutb, the luminary of Islamic thought (as some Islamists call him) and author of the greatest transitional commentary on the Qur'an, who was the ideological founder of the group known as "The Muslim Brotherhood," which is the mother of all contemporary Islamic movements.
		Sayed Qutb elaborates upon his appeal in his book Islam and Cultural Problems where he says, "The attempt to set Islamic, jurisprudential, legislative judgements to meet the judgements of the non-Islamic society in which we live is not a serious one at all, and is completely lacking in the serious spirit of Islam.
		Sayed Qutb refused to consider these and other questions pertaining to the methods of the Sharia, since considering them now and searching for answers for them in the books of ancient theologians would be considered an implicit acknowledgement that the present society is Islamic - which he said was not the case.

		The leader Sayed Qutb was executed with five others in 1966.
		This contrasts with Qutb who developed a liberation theology, requiring "true" Muslims to declare war on anyone who opposed their ultimate goal.
		Advocates of violence, like Qutb, were opposed to the traditional scholars of al-Azhar, because they regard them as complicit in the crimes of the secular state.

		Significantly, Osama bin Laden, a wealthy Saudi influenced by Wahhabism and the writings of Sayed Qutb, joined forces with the Egyptian Islamic Jihad under Ayman al-Zawahiri to form what is now called al-Qaeda.
		Writers like the Egyptian Sayyid Qutb and the Pakistani Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi saw western style individualism as counter to centuries of tradition, and also as inevitably leading to a debauched and licentious society.
		For instance Qutb's view of an elite vanguard to lead an Islamic revolution is borrowed directly from Lenin's Vanguard of the Proletariat.

		The reviver of this corrupted ideology in the 20th century was Sayed Qutb, a pivotal guide for ‘Al-Ikwaanul-Muslimoon’ (The Muslim Brotherhood) of Egypt and also Sayed Abul-Ala Maududi, the founder of Jamaa’atul-Islaamee of Pakistan.
		Sayed Qutb derived his extremist teachings by mixing his Socialist Marxist background with the ideas of the French Philosopher Alexis Carrell pertaining to “Barbarism”, and Sayed Abul-Ala Mawdudi’s notions of “Divine Government”.
		Qutb’s fusion of these ideas, led to an ideology that revived one of first innovated sects to appear in the history of islaam, the Khawaarij.

		As his background was in literature, Qutb also emphasizes literary aspects of the Qur'an and talks a lot about the imagery used by God and the specific language used.

		However, to blanketly slander him, without (and I say this with respect my dear brother) having the same depth of knowledge as he did - and with the arrogance that you exhibit and the disunity that you seem to espouse - is immature and shows a fundamental confusion on Tawheed in it's first place.
