I thought Clancy was dead.
I never heard of Jim Clancy therefore his opinions don’t matter to me.
I’m sure my opinions don’t matter to him either.
.
Clancy, however, took exception..
They say Satan throws a well attended cocktail party, too. Hope this guy repents, before he has a chance to find out.
Soros has replaced CNN correspondents with pod people, or alien lizards with people suits.
Born in 1906, he was in America in 1948-50, when he would have been in his early 40's. His family in Egypt was prosperous by Egyptian standards, but not by US standards. He also was not particularly handsome.
I suspect the real reason for his outrage was that none of those "immoral, decadent, Western" girls has interested in being immoral with HIM. He couldn't take rejection.
LOL! I have always wondered if Qutb was pissed he couldn’t get any girls to dance with him.
First, I didn’t really understand his tweet.
And second makes me sick that he referred to Mohammed as “The Prophet”.
Screw Mohammed, obviously a ridiculous junk religion.
That’s a very interesting story. If truely the source of all Islamic extremism today, it has profound implications.
Something as innocent, or really innocuous as a church dance could be the source of worldwide problems. It really drives home the importance of treating all people, as one would prefer to be treated. You just never know if the guy you tick off because you cut him off in traffic, don’t hold the elevator for, or even don’t ask to dance (if a wallflower all alone) becomes some bitter dictator.
It’s interesting don’t you think? I also wonder what could have been done differently at that dance to convince him otherwise. (Again assuming it’s truly the source of his anti-western bias, as well as the source of all Islamic radicalism today). What could have been done differently?
If he were asked to dance, would he maybe still be offended merely by the fact a woman asked him rather than the other way around?
If he didn’t make it to that dance, would things be different? What if he was shot on the way there, in some bungled robbery or worse? Would his grieving family become as anti-west as he did?
Why was he even there? Clearly someone invited him. What if he wasn’t even invited? Maybe that’s the greatest irony of all. If he wasn’t invited (someone showing him kindness in that moment) maybe he wouldn’t have become so anti-west. So maybe we wouldn’t even have terrorists today.
Maybe a random act of kindness is responsible for terrorism! How ironic that would be if true!
It boggles the mind to think of all the possible outcomes, if one had a time machine. In the Twilight Zone.

If nothing outraged Muslims, they would just make something up to outrage them.
That dance was just the locus. He was going to devolve that way no matter what. His enmity was suborned to the power play against Nasser, period.
And rebut! These gasbags have never had a dissenting editor, producer, or publicist in their lifetimes! On Twitter, they have to (see tagline).
That's a hell of a great quote, but you're exactly the kind of conservative writer who should have an account and be in there daily , disgronifying their timelines. Most of the top talking heads don't know how to use mute or block. The Libtards, the SJWs, etc, are even more hilarious, their moose-moving cheese & whine about not being able to properly censor, er, "curate" their timelines, what with all these clever conservatives.
Twitter is by far the best way to discomfit afflicted journolists, and comfort their afflicted ... Just watch Glenn Reynolds for a day @instapundit
In contrast, the Muslim world peaked in the mid-17th Century and has been in decline ever since.
After WWII and independence, the Muslim world has had two choices, join the modern world or rebel against it. Nasser wanted to choose the former, albeit in an authoritarian, socialist manner, which many in the third world thought was a good bet in the 1950's.
Qutb chose the latter. I don't really think attending a dance in Greeley set him on that path. The point about Qutb is that he was rebelling against the Western world, he wasn't driven to that by the existence of Israel.
Europe and American liberals need to pull their heads out of their hindquarters. Muslim fundamentalism is all about Islam and it is a direct attack on our civilization and way of life.
[on Twitter] CNN's veteran news anchor and international correspondent Jim Clancy... took exception to the claim that the magazine was attacked for insulting Islam, claiming instead that "The cartoons NEVER mocked the Prophet. They mocked how the COWARDS tried to distort his word."...
