Qutbism refers to thewritings of Sayyid Qutb and other Islamic the-oreticians, e.g., Abul Ala Maududi and Hassan al Banna, that provide the intel-lectual rationale underpinning Islamic-Fascism. Qutbism is not a structuredbody of thought from any single person (despite its name), source, time, orsect; rather it is a fusion of puritanical and intolerant Islamic orientations thatinclude elements from both the Sunni and Shia sects of Islam that have beencombined with broader Islamist goals and methodologies. Qutbism integratesthe Islamist teachings of Maududi and al Banna with the arguments of SayyidQutb to justify armed jihad in the advance of Islam, and other violent methodsutilized by twentieth century militants. Qutbism advocates violence and justi-fies terrorism against non-Muslims and apostates in an effort to bringabout thereign of God. Others, i.e., Ayman Al-Zawahiri, Abdullah Azzam, and Osamabin Laden built terrorist organizations based on the principles of Qutbism andturned the ideology of Islamic-Fascism into a global action plan. http://74.125.45.104/search?q=cache:nIl7NhhX_ysJ:www.carlisle.army.mil/USAWC/PARAMETERS/07spring/eikmeier.pdf+qutbism&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=ca Sep 11 08, 8:00 PM
