On Socialism, Radical Islam and Fridrich von Hayek

I was lately introduced to von Hayek writing and his monumental book '"The Road to Serfdom." Hayek talks there about development that had happened in the European arena of thought that lead to the rise of Socialistic ideas which are anathema to the ideas of freedom. Basically, he'd confined his criticism to developments that stem from the ideas that the economics must be planned, controlled and guided from above.
He did not go far enough because he did not see the rise of Radical Islam and he could not see beyond the European arena. But we could see what is going on today. There is really no difference between Radical Islam and the Socialists of all parties (left, right and in between) that Hayek is talking about. The only difference is that the RI does not emphasize economics per se. As the Socialists of all parties of the past, RI is working for the victory of a certain group (not a race, a nation or a class as in Europe, but the believers in Allah [but only those who believe in a certain way!]) And its goal is a world that is not about individual freedom, but a world that is directed in all aspects, by a certain plan. Make no mistake, there is no difference in the results whether the plan was conceived by a madman like Hitler in the nineteen twenties, or by a pseudo-philosopher like Marks in the eighteen sixties or by a self-declared prophet like Muhammad and his followers in the seventh century. Freedom will cease to exist under their control.
That I am correct in my assessment was beautifully demonstrated when the Time Square Bomber squarely contrasted the RI with the Democracies (in the original meaning of that term, not the mockery that is and was the People-Democracies like in Cuba and currently the Chavez-ism in Venezuela) and alluded to the final victory of his own side. The sense that RI is yet another totalitarian theory is strengthened by the apparent comradeship between another form of RI, that of Iran with the emerging socialist totalitarianism in Venezuela under Chavez.
It is only a poetic justice, or maybe an important international development that the two forms of RI are fast moving towards a full blown conflict and direct confrontation among themselves. I am afraid that the leaders of the free world lack the imagination to use that confrontation to defeat both of these evil monsters.
