To me, the "pull quote" from the column is:
"Qutb’s brilliance as a theorist was in how he applied Western-style literary criticism to the Quran to interpret God’s intentions. He concluded that the reason for the Muslim world’s decline were external cultural and political influences that diluted Islam: The culprits included everything from Greek empiricism and liberal democracy to socialism, Persian poetry and Hegelian philosophy. The only path to an Islamic renaissance was to cleanse Muslim societies of these contaminants and restore Islam to its seventh-century purity."
There are a number of implications in the quote, but I think I'll let it speak for itself, at least for the moment...
Islam’s potential was hijacked by Mad Mo’.
I put this article aside to read today.
Seems a bit apologetic...
You guys keep linking to a pay site.
That’s like asking how the bank robbery went bad and turned into a shootout. It didn’t “go bad”, it was a bank robbery, it was already bad.
Islam hasn’t been hijacked. It’s never been a good thing for any land it infects.
Civilizations have been hijacked by islam.

Qutb wandered around the US in the 1950’s with a permanent erection because of the flagrant sexuality he perceived all around him. A self-loathing misogynist with a wide streak of guilt-laden lust moved him to pen his execrable work.
Predictably, the few muslims (at the time perhaps 2-3 per 100,000) able to actually read loved it.
Have I mentioned before that muslims are genetically stupid?
Consanguinity? Anyone? Bueller?
The good news is that today the muslim literacy rate is double the 1950s. 4-6 per 100,000. Hahahahahaha.
Pathetic, not brilliant just sad and pathetic.
Islam, functioning as designed.
Islam was “hijacked” by Satan about 1400 years ago.
Islam is a radical, murdering, child-molesting, cult.
“Moderate Islam” is its Trojan Horse.
islam is islam......period
There is no condemnation by the muslim author of muslim terrorism.
Read the article carefully.
The first, one and (almost) only thing we need to hear from the muslim community is its condemnation of terrorism. WE NEVER GET THAT.
The Democratic Party was hijacked. Islam exists as its founder intended.
It’s not preposterous, the USA has been hijacked...
Islam is a totalitarian ideology that hides under the veil of religion.
Want to hate and kill Jews?
Want to extinguish free speech?
Want to not allow political parties with democratic agendas?
etc...
...by the way, I’m talking about the Nazi’s :)
Yet Islam is not different, in fact it is worse. It is breathtaking that people can’t see evil for what it is, they’re confused because it is called a “religion”. Sorry, no it isn’t - it just claims to be and therefore fools billions.
Islam is a political force claiming to be religion. It is time people woke up. I don’t want to hear about “moderates” either, when the radicals show up the moderates will still point out where you live. They’ll not protest in support of you, this is why you never see outrage at Muslim atrocities. They don’t want to be labeled a “bad muslim”.
Islam was NEVER “hijacked”, it HAS ALWAYS been BAD from the start the devil appeared from the start as an “angel of light” to Mo.
