Agreed. Facts on the ground like Iraqi Freedom will usually trump ideas. But there is a real question as to how Islam will accomodate,  compromise or reconcile with the secular world. On what terms? For that discussion, Al-Qutb was in some ways closer to Nihilists like Nechayev than to "fascist" intellectuals.
