TIL that after an Egyptian man witnessed US lawncare practices and heard the song "Baby it's Cold Outside" he became so incensed with American culture he went home and invented Salafi jihadism (qz.com)

This is fucking hilarious lmao.

But seriously. The quotes included don’t necessarily imply any resentment towards the song due to religious reasons. He just describes what’s happening, and if anything, he is upset that the man is being creepy about the woman. Not defending him at all, I’m sure he really did hate the song because it’s haram, but it’s a bit weird to extrapolate that from a tame description

Sayyid Qutb's criticism of women was that they were flaunting their sexuality.

The American girl is well acquainted with her body's seductive capacity. She knows it lies in the face, and in expressive eyes, and thirsty lips. She knows seductiveness lies in the round breasts, the full buttocks, and in the shapely thighs, sleek legs—and she shows all this and does not hide it

Sayyid Qutb was a muslim clerical fascist and Nasser's largest black spot is his collaboration with him, washed out only slightly by having him executed.
