Entry: The End of History? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_end_of_history#8939 Post contents: We may not be talking about free will but historical experience. When a religion prevents free inquiry and thus scientific and technological progress, it cannot succeed politically for long, because it is bound to fall behind. The same applies to an economical system that prevents free, competitive market and the rapid adoption of innovations and efficiencies forced by that competition. The chances of current forms of Islam succeeding in their quest of world domination are the same as those of Soviet communism. The only difference is that Soviet system was ossified by political bureaucracy, while in Islam that role is held by theologians. The end result will be the same. Sent at: 2008 07 04
