One passage Sayyed Qutb wrote reminded me of our discussion we had in class over political cartoons the Muslim’s deemed “offensive” in a Danish newspaper. Qutb explained that a fourth aspect of Islam is that it “provides a legal basis for the relationship of the Muslim community with other groups” (131). Qutb stated, “This legal formulation is based on the principle that Islam- that is, submission to God- is a universal Message which the whole of mankind should accept or make peace with.” Therefore, I believe Qutb would have been one of the Muslim’s that would have taken direct offense to the cartoons. The main reason Qutb would take offense is because he believes the whole of mankind should come to peace with their religion. He is not inflicting every person to be a Muslim, I believe he would have the same belief as Ramadan and think that the Muslim religion just deserves respect. However, I am not sure if Qutb would have had an extremely severe reaction to the cartoons or not. In his article, he stated, “It is not the intention of Islam to force its beliefs on people, but Islam is not merely a belief” (133). By that statement, I believe his reaction could have been very severe because he said that Islam is not merely a belief. I think Qutb would think that the cartoonist was not insulting his religion and his way of life. However, I don’t know if he would have had a light reaction because he does belief that it is not Muslim’s intention to force their beliefs on others; others have a right to view things other ways.
