Qutb attributed his awakening to the time he was an exchange student at what is now the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. He attended a church dance in the early 1950's and was shocked at men and women dancing together. One can picture the women in bobby sox and ankle length skirts and the men in white shirts and ties.

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.

If nothing outraged Muslims, they would just make something up to outrage them.
