Changes

Although the Egyptian terrorist organization, the [[Muslim Brotherhood]] helped Nasser organize a [[coup]] to take over the Egyptian government, they soon became disgruntled by some of his [[secular]] ideals. In October 1954 the Muslim group attempted to assassinate Nasser, the attempt wounded a guard but missed the president. His popularity rose when after the gunshots, Nasser shouted to the crowed, "Let them kill Nasser! What is Nasser but one among many? I am alive, and even if I die, all of you are Gamal Abdul Nasser!<ref>The Looming Tower, al-Qaeda and the road to 9/11 (book), by Lawrence Wright</ref>"

Nasser invited [[Sayyid Qutb]] to be part of his new government as an advisor to the Revolutionary Command Council. After some disputes over what role he should play as part of the government coalition, Qutb quit his job after a few months of haggling. In 1955, he

[[Sayyid Qutb]] was thrown in prison for three months. After his release, Qutb's became the editor of the Muslim Brotherhood's magazine. In less than a year the government began a crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood. Qutb was again arrested and sentenced to life in prison, but the sentence was later reduced to fifteen years.

 

While in prison, Qutb wrote a book titled ''Milestones'' calling for the revival of violent [[jihad]]. The book was smuggled out of the prison and published in 1964. Qutb was put on trial for plotting to overthrow the government. At the behest of Nassar's [[Marxist]] [[atheist]] Soviet allies who preached "religion is the opiate of the masses," Qutb was sentenced to death and hanged on August 29, 1966. Qutb is now considered among the first [[Shahid|martyrs]] among [[salafi-jihadi]]s' violent struggle against Western secularization.
