“Baby, It’s Cold Outside” played a pivotal role in the rise of Islamic fundamentalism

“Baby, It’s Cold Outside”—a song written by a Jewish composer that has become a secular Christmas anthem—played a small but crucial role in the rise of modern Islamic fundamentalism.

Back in 1950, the Egyptian author and religious theorist Sayyid Qutb spent two years as an exchange student at a teacher’s college in Greeley, Colorado.

He was infuriated by many things about American life—people spent too much time taking care of their lawns, and it was impossible to get a decent haircut—but especially by a church dance where a pastor played Frank Loesser’s Grammy-winning song on a gramophone:

“The dance hall convulsed to the tunes on the gramophone and was full of bounding feet and seductive legs,” Qutb wrote later. “Arms circled waists, lips met lips, chests met chests, and the atmosphere was full of passion.”

“宝贝,外面很冷,”长期以来一直是美国的假日经典,最近在#MeToo时代受到审查,因为它轻松地描绘了性强制 - 虽然仔细阅读表明这首歌可以很容易狡猾地向女性赋权致敬。

不要Qutb。他的描述:

从晚上约会回来的男孩和女孩之间的对话。男孩带着女孩回家,让她不能离开。她恳求他让她回家,因为它已经来晚了,她的母亲在等,但每次她都会找借口,他会用她的线回答她:但是宝贝外面很冷。

这首歌证实了Qutb对美国文化的最大怀疑。

纪录片导演亚当柯蒂斯在电影“噩梦的力量”中观察到,“对大多数观看这种舞蹈的人来说,这将是一种无辜的幸福之舞”。“但库特布还看到了别的东西。在他面前的舞者是悲惨的失落的灵魂。他们相信他们是自由的,但实际上他们被自己的自私和贪婪的欲望困住了。“

当库特布回到埃及时,他是一个改变了的人,决心拒绝西方并拥抱纯净的伊斯兰教版本。正如记者劳伦斯赖特在“纽约客”中所写:

Qutb回到了埃及一个彻底改变的人。在他所看到的美国的精神荒地中,他重新创造了自己作为一个好战的穆斯林,他带着伊斯兰教的愿景回到了埃及,这种伊斯兰教会摒弃西方的庸俗影响。伊斯兰社会必须得到净化,唯一足以清理它的机制就是圣战的古老而血腥的工具。

Qutb最终成为穆斯林兄弟会的高级成员,策划暗杀埃及总统Gamal Abdel Nasser,并于1966年被处决。但他的教诲和着作成为一代激进伊斯兰主义者的主要灵感,包括奥萨马·本·拉登和艾曼扎瓦希里。
