520    Sayyid Qutb (1906-1966) was an influential Egyptian 
       ideologue credited with establishing the theoretical basis
       for radical Islamism in the post colonial Sunni Muslim 
       world. Lacking a pure understanding of the leader's life 
       and work, the popular media has conflated Qutb's moral 
       purpose with the aims of bin Laden and al-Qaeda. He is 
       often portrayed as a terrorist, Islamo-Fascist, and 
       advocate of murder. This book rescues Qutb from 
       misrepresentation, tracing the evolution of his thought 
       within the context of his time. An expert on social 
       protest and political resistance in the modern Middle 
       East.
