The life of Sayyid Qutb: 1906-1966

1906 -- Born in the village of Musha in Assyout Province, Egypt.

1918 -- Finished primary education, then dropped out of school because of a revolution of 1919.

1920 -- Moved to Cairo, Egypt, to live with his uncle and complete his high school education.

1929 -- Enrolled in the Darul Oloom teacher's college, receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree.

1939 -- Joined the Egyptian Ministry of Education.

1945 -- Resigned the Ministry of Education to become a free-lance writer. He wrote many articles on the artistic expression in the Quran, and several books

1948 -- His book, "Social Justice in Islam," is published.

1948 -- Traveled to the United States to study and visit colleges.

1949 -- Took classes at Colorado State College of Education in Greeley, taking summer-quarter classes and then auditing classes in the fall quarter, which means he attended classes but didn't receive credit. He dropped out of CSCE in December. Some accounts indicate he received his Master of Arts degree from CSCE, but college records do not support that.

1950 -- Returned to Egypt to take the job of teacher and inspector for the Ministry of Education.

1952 -- Because of philosophical disagreements, resigned his teaching position.

1954 -- He became editor of a newspaper in Ikhwan, Egypt. He was arrested that year and accused of trying to overthrow the Egyptian government.

1964 -- First sentenced to 15 years in prison, Qutb served 10 years and was released at the request of the Iraqi president.

1965 -- Published his most famous book, "Mallem Fittareek" ("Milestones"), in which he condemned Western morals, partially because of what he witnessed in Greeley. It led to his arrest on the orders of Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser.

1966 -- Despite demonstrations by followers and protests from various Muslim countries, Qutb was hanged on Aug. 29, 1996. Followers said he was smiling when he was executed, knowing he had a "beautiful life ahead in paradise."

In 1949, Greeley was one giant cattle feed lot. He just added to the stench.

Now Greeley is trying to get in on the war on terrorism? Going all the way back to this guy supposedly visiting in 1949?
Give me a break ... Greeley is a sleepy little town some 40 or so miles northeast of Denver, home of Greeley State Teachers College, now known in more recent years, as UNC (Univ. Northern Colorado). Having lived in Colorado and familiar with Greeley I can assure you in 1949 this modest little obscure college wasn't producing future terrorists. Berkeley maybe ... but not Greeley State Teachers College.

Qutb also made some mistakes in his writing. It's not known if they were intentional or not. He said that in 1949, the bloody wars against American Indians continued. He also wrote that the American colonists pushed Latinos south toward Central America -- even though the American colonists themselves had not yet pushed west of the Mississippi. The Revolutionary War was "a destructive war led by George Washington.'"

Sounds like Qutb had the services of an advanced liberal education at UNC -- even in 1949.

Qutb is just another in a long line of Islamic nutters.

I can't remember the name of the documentary, but it said that two things
about Greeley and America drove him nuts:
1. The attire of American women
2. Grassy lawns. Yep, grassy lawns.

He was just as fruity as some Al-Quida that operated in Italy pre 9-11.
In the surveillance tapes released by Italian police, after talking
show the guys starte b-tchin' about how gawd-awful Italian foods was.

These guys should just go back to their sandboxes and be happy there.
They just don't travel well.
As we saw on 9-11.

This is a quote from him by Wikipedia - sounds like he could have written a sexy novel:


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. [6]
... and their taste in music

Jazz is his preferred music, and it is created by Negroes to satisfy their love of noise and to whet their sexual desires ... [

I found webpage for Montana State Bozo Bozeman International Programs...

Anyone want to forward this article to them, with a couple of pointed questions?

[nopardons]

The song "BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE" has nothing at all to do with teenagers. It was made popular in a movies, the man and woman were well into adulthood and there is NO seduction. Neither is it "jazz", nor was it written by or for blacks.

By today's standards, the clothes and behavior of teens and/or college students, in 1949, would appear to be non lascivious, sedate, and quite rather benign.

so now the MSM wants us to obey CAIR and attend Islam indoctrination centers?

convert, or submit or die. That is all islam wants.
