Fear and trembling institutionalized?

Kierkegaard, from me to you

A random thought: can Qutb's political program be seen as the social embodiment of Kierkegaard's vision in Fear and Trembling? I'm not suggesting that Qutb read Kierkegaard - I don't know whether he did or not - but if one were to take Kierkegaard's argument (which was centered on the individual) and try to give it a social program, woulden't you end up with something Qutb like?
