In a little notice meeting reflecting growing ties between South America and the Islamic world, Mexican President Felipe Calderon welcomed former Iranian President Mohamed Khatami to Mexico City.
The two leaders met Wednesday at Los Pinos, Mexico's official presidential residence, to discuss deepening cultural bonds with the Islamic world in the face of Western notions of a "clash of civilizations.

The visit drew virtually no mention in the press outside of Mexico, even in Iran.

Khatami came at the invitation of the International Center for Dialogue between Civilizations, established in 2006 at the Colegio de San Luis in the Mexican state of San Luis Potosi.

A notice on the Colegio de San Luis website said Khatami spoke at the center to oppose the main thesis of Harvard University professor Samuel Huntington's seminal 1996 book "The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order."

In his speech, Khatami proclaimed a "Dialogue among Civilizations," a theme echoing a 2001 U.N. declaration.

Similarly, a statement by Calderon emphasized, in diplomatic language, that Khatami was promoting an exchange of opinions "concerning the roads available to promote peaceful co-existence among natures and cultures."

The Mexican newspaper La Jornada echoed the presidential statement: "The government of Mexico shares the conviction that dialogue and negotiation should be promoted as the preferred means to advance agreements."

The radical leftist La Voz de Aztlan in Los Angeles characterized the Khatami-Calderon meeting as "part of a growing alliance between Mexico, South America and Islam."

La Voz de Aztlan also noted, "President Calderon has been worried about the growing racist hostility against Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in the USA."

The online publication said the visit "may signal the beginning of a new international alignment that may bring into reality what Patrick Buchanan wrote in his new book, 'Day of Reckoning.'"

In July, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez met in Tehran with Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, reflecting Tehran's recent campaign to develop closer ties with Latin America.

In September, Ahmadinejad met with Fidel Castro in Cuba, where the communist dictator endorsed the Iranian leader's efforts to further the goals of the Islamic revolution begun by Ayatollah Khomeini.

The International Center for Dialogue between Civilizations was opened in 2006 by Islamic Dawa of Chauen, a militant Shiite Islamic group originally formed in Iraq, and the radical Junta Islamica of Spain.

Chauen is a city in the Mexican province of Marruecos with historic ties to the Berbers in Morocco. The Junta Islamica derives from the descendents of the Moriscos, the Spanish Muslims expelled from Spain in the 16th and 17th centuries.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a group noted for aggressively promoting the rights of Hispanic immigrants, characterizes the Nation of Aztlan, publisher of La Voz de Aztlan, as a "tiny Chicano group that pushes racism and homophobia."

Aztlan is the name for the mythical place of origin of the Aztec people. In the politics of Hispanic immigration, Aztlan has come to represent the part of the southwestern United States, including a large part of California, sought by the Reconquista movement for Mexico.

It would be nice if our "friend" Mexico would more vigorously support us in the war on terror -- instead of using us as a place to send millions of their impoverished citizens.

I've felt for quite awhile now that Mexico was dropping all pretense of being a "friend" to this country and if this does not open some eyes on the part of those in DC, I don't know what will.

Mexico is a wolf in sheep's clothing, it's as simple as
that, with every intention of taking over the whole of the continent.....not just the Southwestern US. It is also no secret that many other Latin American countries aspire to destroy us as does Islam.

There is no reason to think that these types of meetings have not been going on for a long time now

It's going to make it tough on the men when the Mexican women and girls come under sharia law!!!!

Mexico has never been our friend - never. We have just poured money into that country like water down a rathole. They have taken it and demanded more and more.

Yes, I think our government has known about this for years - how could they not? Unless we really don't have an functioning intelligence department.

It also seems true that Chavez has an equally ambitious plan as does Pres. Bush for SA and I believe that is where the real rub between Chavez and Pres. Bush is.

Mexico is toying with Chavez and his union and with Iran - and I believe is blackmailing the US - threatening to join with either of them - if we don't take in their people, give them rights, etc. etc. They has to be a reason -

Think of Chavez, Iran, and Mexico teaming up to control oil -

Time to clean out our country, beef up our security, do some drilling of our own, and get serious about alternative energy.

Instead, we are welcoming more and more people from SA, Mexico and the ME into this country - legally - and doing very little about the ones here illegally.

And absolutely time to NOT build a huge highway across our country to give them an express lane to entering it.

Why? When they rape them, the women will be stoned to death not the men.

Never mind, I get it. In six months there wouldn't be any women left. Right?
