Culture Jihad in Tehran

Description

Islam has an uncanny ability to arrive on the scene when Christianity is failing in its mission. Martin Luther referred to this uncanny ability as the scourge of God. He should know; he was the scourge of God in his own way. When Pope Alexander VI aborted the counter-revolution against sodomy and usury launched by Savonarola in Florence, God sent Luther and Islam as the scourge of God to purify a corrupted Christendom. When the counter-revolution against modernity that should have been launched by Vatican II got aborted, God sent the Iranian revolution of 1979 in its stead. As the movie *Argo* indicates, the reverberations are with us still. *Culture Jihad in Tehran* begins with an invitation to E. Michael Jones to speak in Tehran at a conference on Hollywood. While Jones is in Iran, Pope Benedict XVI resigns. In *Culture Jihad in Tehran* , with penetrating insight Jones analyzes the interplay between Catholicism, Islam, and Americanism in today's world. **
