SAYYID QUTB IMPRISONED IN EGYPT
Descrizione:
Sayyid Qutb was a leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Like other Muslim scholars and preachers, he was very critical of Arab leaders: he believed they were not leading Muslim people as they should. He called for a return to the earliest days of Islam, when all Muslims lived in a single state under the religious leadership of a "Caliph".
Sayyid Qutb was later hanged by Egyptian authorities in 1966. His book 'Milestones' was hugely influential for Islamists and greatly influenced Osama Bin Laden and other extremists who sought to restore the Caliphate (Muslim state under religious leadership).
