Muhammad Qutb

I am writing a paper on Muhammad Qutb's views on slavery in Islam. And is he a dull and boring writer! I read his stuff in my late teens but am revisiting it now. What were we thinking when we thought he was worth reading? Make no mistake about it. He was influential and his writings are still popular among many Muslims. You will like his writings if you decide to be a very superficial person, hiding behind a wall of illusions and fantasies about the past and the present. His style and approach are different from those of his brother, Sayyid Qutb. But the latter was not as superficial and shallow (but definitely more extreme in his views than the former).
