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.

Also I found this statement about Qutb to be quite interesting.

Siegel says. As for Qutb's revulsion over American sexuality, Fandy says there is no evidence that Qutb ever had a sexual relationship in his life.

<<"The American girl is well acquainted with her body's seductive capacity. She knows it lies in the face, and in expressive eyes, and thirsty lips. She knows seductiveness lies in the round breasts, the full buttocks, and in the shapely thighs, sleek legs -- and she shows all this and does not hide it.">>

1949, this Qutb is better off dead, he was talking about my mother.

Sayyid Qutb's America - Al Qaeda Inspiration Denounced U.S. Greed, Sexuality

I take it he didn't come here looking for "foxes with big american breasts".

Even the 9/11 terrorists took a little time out for the Two O'Clock Club :-)

Pasties and a G-string - Tom Waits

Smelling like a brewery, looking like a tramp,
I ain't got a quarter, got a postage stamp
Been five o'clock shadow boxing all around the town,
Talking with the old man, sleeping on the ground
Bazanti bootin al zootin al hoot and Al Cohn
Sharing this apartment with a telephone pole
And a fish-net stocking, spike-heel shoes,
Strip tease, prick tease, car keys blues
And the porno floor show, live nude girls,
Dreamy and creamy and brunette curls
Chesty Morgan and Watermelon Rose
Raise my rent and take off all your clothes
With trench coats, magazines, a bottle full of rum,
She's so good, make a dead man come
Pasties and a G-string, beer and a shot
Portland through a shot glass and a Buffalo squeeze
Wrinkles and Cherry and Twinkie and Pinkie and Fifi live from Gay Paree
Fanfares, rim shots, back stage, who cares, all this hot burlesque for me
(scat)

Cleavage, cleavage, thighs and hips
From the nape of her neck to the lipstick lips
Chopped and channeled and lowered and lewd
And the cheater slicks and baby moons
She's a-hot and ready, creamy and sugared
And the band is awful and so are the tunes
(scat)

Crawling on her belly, and shaking like jelly,
And I'm getting harder than Chinese algebrassieres
And cheers from the (hmm) compendium here
"Hey sweetheart" they're yelling for more
You're squashing out your cigarette butts on the floor
And I like Shelly, and you like Jane
And what was the girl with the snakeskin's name?
And it's an early-bird matinee, come back any day,
Get you a little something that you can't get at home
Get you a little something that you can't get at home
It's pasties and a G-string, beer and a shot
Portland through a shot glass and a Buffalo squeeze
Popcorn, front row, higher than a kite, and I'll be back tomorrow night,
And I'll be back tomorrow night
(scat)

A copy of Sayyid Qutb book "Milestone" is online here
at youngmuslim.ca --- a Canadian site that is interesting to see with a different perspective (and a little proselytism) having
many articles and online books about Islam and Muslims.
