The first part of the series explains the origins of Islamism and Neo-Conservatism. It shows Egyptian civil servant Sayyid Qutb, depicted as the founder of modern Islamist thought, visiting America to learn about the education system, but becoming disgusted with what he saw as a corruption of morals and virtues in western society through individualism. When he returns to Egypt, he is disturbed by westernization under President Nasser and becomes convinced that in order to save society it must be completely restructured along the lines of Islamic law while still using western technology. He also becomes convinced that this can only be accomplished through the use of an elite “vanguard” to lead a revolution against the established order. Qutb becomes a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and, after being tortured in one of Nasser’s jails, comes to believe that western-influenced leaders can justly be killed for the sake of removing their corruption. Qutb is executed in 1966, but he inspires the future mentor of Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, to start his own secret Islamist group. Inspired by the 1979 Iranian revolution, Zawahiri and his allies assassinate Egyptian president Anwar Al Sadat, in 1981, in hopes of starting their own revolution. The revolution does not materialise, and Zawahiri comes to believe that the majority of Muslims have been corrupted by their western-inspired leaders and thus may be legitimate targets of violence if they do not join him.

@KhushaKhanKhattak But you don’t count that the iraqi war isn’t a religious war and not every soldier in the US army is a christian. Vietnam war wasnt a religious war and not every soldier is a christian and the same counts for Afghanistan. So you are wrong, if you look at Islam you see that they kill alot because of a religious motive,? but the US just kills for economic or idealogic motives. Which is equally terrible but not the same.
@CoolKidX85 3000 americans die on september 11, 1 million innocent iraqis mostly new borns and there mothers die from sanctions then add the number of casualties in? combat western forces have lost maybe 10000 soldiers where as that doesnt even match the civilian numbers of the places they occupy also add vietnam the contras, afghanistan and you begin to paint a picture… and US and europe claim to be christian states and you cant even deny israeli bombings and killings of arabs
@Fonzie8819 so… america isnt a democracy? because democracy = government is the joint and true will of the people is it not… do you not as an american trot around and say you are a beacon in? the world purely because your government DOES represent the will of the american people think before you speak unless you admit america is socialist
@CoolKidX85 “Are christians and jews killing more every day than any other group?” Of course, look at all the war going on around the world. Who is doing it? White Christian and? Jewish nations. Who are they doing it to? Muslim nations and nations of color. Of course muslims are not innocent in this. It is just the nature of belief, right? To fight.
@FathomlessJoy Are christians and jews killing more every day than any other? group? On what do you base this? Maybe through all of history yeah, but nowadays?
Damn, thought it was a documentary for? nightmares. Never mind. >_>
Irving Kristol and Paul Wolfowitz, look to? the political thinking of Leo Strauss after the general failure of President Johnson’s “Great Society”. They come to the conclusion that the emphasis on individual liberty was the undoing of the plan.
Communism! Jewish Bolshevism!
@Bsimpson68 It does seem like you toe the national propaganda? line though. You should shed that nationalistic blindness and take a look around for yourself. Drop the euphemisms like “surgical strikes” and “pasification offenses” and “liberating forces” and look at things as they are, as an Earthling. We are here to share the world with everyone, not just with our own hateful groups of believers.
@Bsimpson68 Wow, replying from 7 months ago; must have struck a? chord ;)
“Where are Jews and Christians killing more people?”
Shock and awe? Desert Storm. Desert Sheild. Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Korea, Japan (1/2 a million peeople instantly, hundreds of thousands still dying and mamed and diseased today), Germany (Christians killing Jews, all of the third reich was Christian), on and on. In fact in countries like Laos kids are killed and mamed daily from unexploded bombs in Vietnam.
Osama bin Laden had porn in his room.?
@FathomlessJoy Where are Jews and Christians killing more? people? In the Iraqi carbombs? In the Pakastani beheadings? In the surgical strikes that kill civilians shielding the terrorists?
The only thing we have to really fear is fear itself and the leaders in sheep’s clothing who feed us fears in order to justify their power and wealth at the expense of our liberty? and wealth!!!
Holy shit those eyes around 0:45 scared the? living shit out of me
