Spengler’s latest in his running commentary and analysis of the on-going discussion between the Pope and Islam, which seems to the Chief to go one up to the Pope based on substance over symbolism, not that that’s how the MSM will report it.
Pope Benedict XVI has drawn a collective response from the Muslim world, in the form of an open letter from 38 Islamic leaders regarding his September 12 address in Regensburg. “All the eight schools of thought and jurisprudence in Islam are represented by the signatories,” according to a press release hailing the letter as “unique in the history of interfaith relations”. [1] The pope provoked outrage by suggesting that Islam rejects reason: the open letter proves him right. They argue that there is no dichotomy in Islam between reason and faith, which turns out to mean that there is no role for reason.
Check it out. Spengler is one of the most thoughtful commentators that the Chief has encountered. This is some fundamentally important stuff.
