Qutbism: An Ideology of Islamic-Fascism

Qutbism: An Ideology of Islamic-Fascism

DALE C. EIKMEIER

So what is this ideology we label Islamic-Fascism? What are its sources, theories, aims, and who are its proponents? The answers to many of these questions can be found in a collection of violent Islamic thought called Qutbism.8 Qutbism refers to the writings of Sayyid Qutb and other Islamic the- oreticians, e.g., Abul Ala Maududi and Hassan al Banna, that provide the intel- lectual rationale underpinning Islamic-Fascism. Qutbism is not a structured body of thought from any single person (despite its name), source, time, or sect; rather it is a fusion of puritanical and intolerant Islamic orientations that include elements from both the Sunni and Shia sects of Islam that have been combined with broader Islamist goals and methodologies. Qutbism integrates the Islamist teachings of Maududi and al Banna with the arguments of Sayyid Qutb to justify armed jihad in the advance of Islam, and other violent methods utilized by twentieth century militants. Qutbism advocates violence and justi- fies terrorism against non-Muslims and apostates in an effort to bring about the reign of God. Others, i.e., Ayman Al-Zawahiri, Abdullah Azzam, and Osama bin Laden built terrorist organizations based on the principles of Qutbism and turned the ideology of Islamic-Fascism into a global action plan.

The Foundation: Puritan Islam
Qutbism is structured on a common foundation of puritan Islamist orientations such as Wahabbi, Salafi, and Deobandi.9 These orientations share several traits and beliefs:
 A belief that Muslims have deviated from true Islam and must re- turn to “pure Islam” as originally practiced during the time of the Prophet.10
 The path to “pure Islam” is only through a literal and strict interpre- tation of the Quran and Hadith, along with implementation of the Prophet’s commands.11
 Muslims should individually interpret the original sources with- out being slavishly bound to the interpretations of Islamic scholars.12
 That any interpretation of the Quran from a historical, contextual perspective is a corruption, and that the majority of Islamic history and the classical jurisprudential tradition is mere sophistry.13

You can read the rest yourselves.

But as you can see, it is ideology of Qutbism that interprets the Quran literally (without historical context), together with the Salafi rejection of "ijtihad" (reasoning) that is the route of the actions perpetrated by Al Qeada and now ISIS.

Not Islam and how how the vast majority of Muslims interpret the Quran.

Granted the majority do not view Islam this way, but a sizeable proportion do view Islam this way, and that is the problem and the number that do, which runs into the tens of millions.
People need to start recognising the amount of people that support such an ideology and to non-Muslims they see it as all Islam.
Hence why I keep saying much has to be done to seperate the two and that will take combating many of the poor naratives by Muslim religious leaders.

Qutbism is not a form of Islam. Lol!

Try reading the paper in full.

Again you make statements such as "poor narratives by Muslim leaders" without any specifics.

You have admitted you don't know any Muslim leaders, so how do you know their narrative? Is that logical? Lol!

This thread proves that your narrative that this is some how Islam, is false.

So keep on lying to the forum Didge. Everyone can see.

But it is to these Muslims, who believe that it is

This is why you are so stupid and fail to understand there is little to seperate the two whilst idiots like you back antisemitism in the form of the BDS and are gullible to conpiracy theories and believe the west is out to destroy islam
You are part of the problem and not the solution
The thread proves nothing but again views of men who offer nothing to validate their claim, because how can they when they cannot prove allah exists, or the Quran is not altered or the views of Muhammad. Your whole historicity is based on tradiitions, which are fallible.
That is what you fail to grasp and many would take this as the true Islam based on a literal taking of the quran over your version
