I do not remember if I wrote about Milestones by Sayyid Qutb - a very accepted philosopher in the Islamic world his book is widely read. His theories will make much more clear what is happening now and it is sad that the G-8 and other Western leaders did not read or do not want to read this book. Qutb death on the hands of Egypt (before being hang, he kissed his galows as redemtion) elevated his status to Shaheed or martyr in the eyes of many Muslims and Milestones became a best seller and widely distributed across the Arab speaking world. To date, close to 2,000 editions of the work are said to have been published. So spread the word of Islamic Fundamentalist "wisdom" - and you will understand why Israel is so hated and now under a rain of rokets. "Just as Sharia is all encompassing and all wonderful, what is non-Muslim (or Jahiliyyah) is "evil and corrupt," and its existence anywhere intolerable to true Muslims. "Islam cannot accept or agree to a situation which is half-Islam and half-Jahiliyyah ... The mixing and co-existence of the truth and falsehood is impossible." (p.130) "We will not change our own values and concepts either more or less to make a bargain with this jahili society. Never!" (p.21) In preaching and promoting Islam, for example, it is very important not to demean Islam by "searching for resemblances" between Islam and the "filth" and "the rubbish heap of the West." (p.139)" en.wikipedia.org Worth reading it will be helpful in our situation today - read some of his writings after Sept. 11 and help me to understand what is driving them - very depressing that people believe in this
