Is he planning on giving the West its last chance for conversion to Islam?
From the Australian:
IRAN'S President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has asked for an audience next week with Pope Benedict XVI which would be the first meeting between the two leaders, a diplomatic source said today.
Mr Ahmadinejad is among the heads of state expected to visit Rome to attend a June 3-5 United Nations summit on global food security, hosted by the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation.
Vatican sources said earlier this week that it was not yet clear if the Pope would meet individual heads of state attending the UN event or hold a collective audience for them in order to save time.
The Vatican has criticised Mr Ahmadinejad for calling for Israel to be wiped off the map.
The Holy See has diplomatic ties with Iran and Pope Benedict has met Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki.
The pontiff has repeatedly encouraged dialogue to resolve differences over Iran's disputed nuclear program, which the West says is aimed at making nuclear bombs.
