One of the Muslim Brotherhood supporters who recently tried to lobby Congress to cut off aid to Egypt's military regime is lauding an Islamist ideological architect who inspired Osama bin Laden's thinking.
Ayat Orabi joined the Egyptian Americans for Freedom and Justice (EAFJ) Capitol Hill lobbying mission earlier this month. In a Facebook post Tuesday, she calls Sayyid Qutb a martyr and "the most knowledgeable master of intellectual output in the history of modern Islamic movements."
It's consistent with Orabi's previous radical statements. She claimed last September that Egypt's Coptic Christian minority had declared "war on Islam," a message that often incites violence.
