Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Seeks Pope's Favor

Postby rhapsody » Sun Oct 10, 2010 2:25 am

Too early perhaps Spengler dismissed Islam as an ally in the battle against secularism:

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Seeks Pope's Favor

[...]
The disregard of man for the teachings of divine religions, which emanates from schools [of thoughts] such as secularism, Western extremist humanism, and the man's growing tendency toward material life . . . has been on the rise and paved the way for the decline of human society,” Ahmadinejad wrote. “Therefore, close cooperation and interaction among divine religions to halt such destructive moves is an absolute necessity.


Wouldn't it be a good idea for the Vatican to join forces with Ahmadinejad? He may not be the best candidate to represent Iran, but it gives Benedict a nice foot hold there for starters.

Does this look like an "Ask Spengler" piece to anyone else?
