[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 820410, member: 2189"] Yes it was! I'm presently reading a book written by Corey Robin entitled, "Fear: The History of a Political Idea" and I'm often struck to think back to the comparison of Sayyid Qutb and the Muslim Brotherhood with Leo Strauss and the NeoConservatives in the use of fear based tactics. Not that these 2 have any monopoly on this and what Robin is showing in his book. Very interesting read and thought provoking as I watch the events of the day and their basis for how they play out. A line in Frank Herbert's Dune "Fear is the Mind Killer" has always tweaked my thinking and thus Robin's title jumped out at me. :peaceful: [/QUOTE]
