[e-IR] e-IR » Understanding al Qaeda and Hezbollah: An Egyptian writer born in 1906, Qutb helped establish the necessity for a modern vanguard group to promote true Islam and destroy the contemporary system of jahiliyyah, a state of ignorance of Islam.[5] In his work Milestones, written in 1964, Qutb argues that jahilliyah is everywhere-both in Western states and the corrupt dictatorships that run Muslim states. Jihad is not just for the defense of Islam against jahili society, writes Qutb, but “to be carried throughout the earth to the whole of mankind, as the object of this religion is all humanity and its sphere of action is the whole earth.”[6] Qutb, like Ibn Taymiyyah, is responsible for establishing a global conception of an Islamic struggle, a central justification for global terrorism for bin Laden and al Zawahiri’s.

President Obama’s skills and charisma just might bring Sunni Arabs and Israeli Jews together, but he will be helped inestimably if he considers that the road to peace runs not through Jerusalem but through Karbala.

[Blogger Bill] Blogger Bill » Blog Archive » Forthcoming bloodshed in Iraq: Now is the time when we will see the furious crescendo of bloodshed as the Shiite and the Sunni Muslims fight each-other, the both of them turn against the Kurds, and the Muslims turn on any remaining minority religions.
