3. Well, they hate us for our music too...

The American is primitive in his artistic taste, both in what he enjoys as art and in his own artistic works. "Jazz" music is his music of choice. This is that music that the Negroes invented to satisfy their primitive inclinations, as well as their desire to be noisy on the one hand and to excite bestial tendencies on the other.

Quote from Sayyid Qutb, an Egyptian with a Hitler moustache who practically invented the modern jihadist movement. (I know, only white folks can be racist and Mr. Qutb was just expressing his Deeply Held Religious Beliefs, insert usual apologist BS here, etc. etc.)

He was executed in 1966 for trying to overthrow the Egyptian government and establish a sharia paradise, along with his buddies in the Muslim Brotherhood. Some of this may sound vaguely familiar nowadays.

IMO, it's almost impossible to understand ISIS & Co. without some knowledge of Qutb. The really curious can tackle his masterpiece commentary on the Quran, Fi Zilal al-Quran (In the Shade of the Qur'an). It runs to 30 volumes.

Thanks for the article, Mr. Blur. It was well-said.
