Syed Kutb and other Radicals

Here is an interesting article I came accross in my research in political Islam:

Read it critically. It contextualises some of the writings and ideas of Syed Kutb, for those of you who have read any of his works. For those of you haven't, don't bother - the books of Tariq Ramadan are more appropriate for creating a balanced understanding of Islam in 21st Century Britain.

I will soon be posting my thoughts on a good syllabus for British Muslims who want to gain a deeper understanding of their faith, without being indoctrinated by one school of thought over another.

'til then, Enjoy!
