JUST WHO IS SPENGLER?

Spengler is the pen name of an anonymous Internet columnist published in Asia Times Online
(ATol) since January 2000. He writes from a conservative Judeo-Christian religious
perspective using aspects of Western history and culture to comment on current geopolitical events ..............

Spengler indicates that the West has declined culturally since the 17th century and now has lost its
will to survive, largely because its Christianization was incomplete and failed to eradicate pagan
loyalty to traditional nations and cultures that growing individual freedom has been destroying
for centuries but to which post-Christian Europeans still cling emotionally.[4] This cultural decline
underlies not only Europe’s nationalist wars but also the demographic contraction of contemporary Europe. ...........

Spengler contrasts Judaism and Christianity with Islam, which he claims is a traditional culture
of which aggressive jihad is a core element, fundamentally distinct from Judeo-Christian
religion and not easily reformed, and whose growing hostility to the West is a reaction to the
threat posed to Islam by individual freedom.[9] He suggests this threat has engendered both
a crisis of faith in the Islamic world and an incipient demographic contraction in parts of it.
