Sayyid Qutb's America


1949 Greeley! Right out of a 1950's Family SitCom. Qutb's attitude toward sex is echoed by most Muslim Clerics. His attitude toward Western Civilization is echoed by most western critics on the left. That old dreaded "materialism!"

The most interesting part of his criticism, to me, is his rejection of the "Mind Body Dichotomy," IE: The "Spiritual realm vs the "Material" realm. A Platonic concept. I agree that this is a major fallacy in Western thinking, but come to a different conclusion about the right way to look at it.
