The Islamic Brotherhood in their early days were very radical (as in anarchists).

Violence is not an encouraged trait by the Islamic brotherhood, not since the days of Hassan Al-banna (founder of Islamic brotherhood) ...

The movement witnessed the assassination and incarceration of its founders and did turn an eye, all of that to prevent fitna..

Qutb and others are controversial and thus is politics but just found Ibn Qayyim famous one:

I agree that he was a great scholar but there were better scholars both in his time and before. The wahhabis sort of ignore other Islamic scholars and always talk about Ibn Qayim and Ibn Taymiyah. Don't know why that's so.

What has the great ancient Islamic author got to do with medias terms such as "wahabis", whatever that may mean (and Sh Abdulwahab was just "yesterday" whatever mistake he did); Ibn Taymiyah is also an historical figure (role in repelling the Tartars etc).

 

A-B bro, Frantz Fanon 'Les Damnes de la terre' (the wretched of the earth) about the long Algerian liberation struggle against French atrocities is indeed a timeless classic about colonisation of minds and brainwashing, torture and dehumanisation; both as a psychiatrist and embedded doctor in the French side, both his mind and militantism were impressive (he was also a metis, part Antilles black).

I saw it as among "80 books for a basic general culture", ironically in France (less controversial than Keynes general theory).
