Watch it online here. Mandatory viewing for those eager to understand the true genesis of the great divide that threatens us all today. Neocon Conservatives versus Islamic Fundamentalists.

Sayyid Qutb, the father of Islamic Fundamentalism in the Muslim world and Leo Straussburst, father of Neo-Conservatism in America, were initially brothers in idealism fighting against the same enemy, albeit in different parts of the world both figuratively and literally.

They shared the same mutual disdain for modernity and the permissive culture of laissez-faire democracy. They decried the failure of the liberal vision and both shared the same belief as to which tolerant and indulgent beast caused that failure. American and Middle-Eastern governments were corrupt; the freedom of the individual and liberal thought were the cause of all societal ills.

They also correctly discerned that religion was the most efficient way to intoxicate the masses and enable their power and authority and that those who were able to rule based on fear became the most powerful. That's where it all came apart. Now their ideological decendants are enemies fighting against each other.
