Greeley AKA "Sayyid Qutb's Sodom and Gomorrah"

Me and a coworker noticed on Wikipedia that Greeley had a number of alternate nicknames, just like a good episode of Rocky and Bullwinkle. One of those names is posted in the title. Look it up if you have a minute...

Anyways, this is just too freakin unbelievable. I'll just copy and paste out of the wiki:

Egyptian Islamist Sayyid Qutb studied at the Colorado State College of Education in 1949. In The America I Have Seen (1951), he portrays Greeley as a hotbed of debauchery, rife with "naked legs" and "animal-like" mixing of the sexes.

So, this dude apparently went to UNC (Before it was called such). He is now considered a pretty influential figure on Al-Qaeda and their ilk. And we live in a hotbed of debauchery. I must be hanging out in the wrong places. Or maybe Greeley has settled down a lot since 1949.

Yep. Qatb went to school here. Right after 911 there was a HUGE to-do about it. (When they were "exposing" that most of al-quaida and the Taliban were United States trained - either through education or military)

Yep. Maybe Fred Phelps is right about Greeley.

;)

NOT.
