 | | Qutb was extremely critical of many things in the United States, its racism, materialism, individual freedom, economic system, poor haircuts, triviality, restrictions on divorce, enthusiasm for sports, "animal-like" mixing of the sexes (which went on even in churches), and lack of support for the Palestinian struggle. |
 | | Qutb also opposed the then popular ideology of Arab nationalism, having become disallusioned with the 1952 Nasser Revolution and exposed to regime's practices of arbitrary arrest, torture, and deadly violence during his imprisonment. |
 | | One of Muhammad Qutb's students and later an ardent followers was Ayman Zawahiri, who went on to become a member of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad terror group and later a mentor of Osama bin Laden and a leading member of al-Qaeda. |
