So apparently modern Islamism exists in part because some incel didn't like other people having fun at a party | History Memes
!["Baby, It's Cold Outside"-a song written by a Jewish composer that has become a secular Christmas anthem-played a small but crucial role in the rise of modern Islamic fundamentalism. Back in 1950, the Egyptian author and religious theorist Sayyid Qutb spent two years as an exchange student at a teacher's college in Greeley, Colorado. He was infuriated by many things about American life-people spent too much time taking care of their lawns, and it was impossible to get a decent haircut-but especially by a church dance where a pastor played Frank Loesser's Grammy-winning song on a gramophone: "To most people watching this dance, it would have been an innocent dance of happiness," documentary filmmaker Adam Curtis observes in his film, The Power of Nightmares. "But Qutb saw something else. The dancers in front of him were tragic lost souls. They believed they were "The dance hall convulsed to the tunes on the gramophone and was full of bounding feet and seductive legs," Qutb wrote later. "Arms circled waists, lips met lips, chests met chests, and the atmosphere was full of passion." When Qutb returned to Egypt, he was a changed man, determined to reject the West and embrace a purified version of Islam. As journalist Lawrence Wright wrote in the New Yorker: militant Muslim, and he came back to Egypt with the vision of an Islam that would throw off the vulgar influences of the West. Islamic The influential Egyptian ideologue Sayyid Qutb (1906-66) is credited with establishing the theoretical basis for radical Islamism in the post-colonial Sunni Muslim world. Lacking Qutb was an important source of influence to Ruhollah Khomeini and other Iranian Shia intellectuals leading up to the 1979 Iranian Revolution. One of Muhammad Qutb's students and later an ardent follower was Ayman Al-Zawahiri, who went on to become a member of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad [131] and later a mentor of Osama bin Laden and the second Emir of Al- Qaeda. [132] Zawahiri was first introduced to Qutb by his uncle and maternal family patriarch, Mafouz Azzam, who Though Islam gave him much peace and contentment, [38] he suffered from respiratory and other health problems throughout his life and was known for "his introvertedness, isolation, depression and concern." In appearance, he was "pale with sleepy eyes."[39] Qutb never married, in part because of his steadfast religious convictions. While the urban Egyptian society he lived in was becoming more Westernized, Qutb believed the Quran taught women that 'Men are the managers of women's affairs....[40] Qutb lamented to his readers that he was never able to find a woman of sufficient "moral purity and discretion" and had to reconcile himself to bachelorhood.[41] THEY DON'T KNOW THEY SHOULD BE FOLLOWING THE LAWS OF ISLAM](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/002/817/461/641.png "So apparently modern Islamism exists in part because some incel didn't like other people having fun at a party | History Memes")
