Great article Alan. I've referenced it in my own here (at the bottom):

We're running on parallel tracks, aren't we? :-) ... Thanks much for adding the link AND for your excellent post. I've read a bit about Qutb, but your essay tied together a lot of loose threads. There are moments when I think finding a bridge between the Anglo-American-Biblical-Enlightenment world that animates you (and me) and the world of Qutb, al-Alawqi, and the mullahs is an impossibility. The gulf between those two worlds is too big. But what's the option but to try. Otherwise, it's October 7, Gaza, and nukes -- all the way down. ... Keep the faith, Daniel. And keep doing the work. You're really good at it.
