Ok, very good. Thanks. How, exactly, did Qutb become so influential, though?
Mostly it was the Muslim Brotherhoods which became influential. His ideas served their cause, and apparently his extensive writings (mostly from prison) are very eloquent.
The Muslim Brotherhoods struck a chord in the wake of the abolition of the Caliphate (by Ataturk: during the Ottoman era, the Sultan was the Caliph, before that various Arab dynasties held the position).
