An Iranian Grand Ayatollah recently said that the Mahdi – the Shi’ite version of the messiah – will arrive in a “super-modern vessel like a spaceship” and that until that time there will be no “peace, security, or decency” on earth. Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi was answering questions about the arrival of the Mahdi, otherwise known as the Hidden Imam, who according to Islamic eschatology will conquer the world before the Day of Judgment, ridding it of evil. Shirazi’s explanations, translated and published Friday by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), were based on Islamic teachings and hadiths, as well as quotes from preceding Imams.

Shirazi explained that when the Imam arrives there will no longer be sunlight in the world. Instead, the “land will be illuminated by divine light.

Space Aliens? I have heard that idiocy from other religious cults.

Pardon me, but something uncontrollable has come over me:

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

At least it wasn't Hillary's coughing fit.

[EQAndyBuzz]

He’ll be showing up in MIRV warhead #3.

[jonrick46]

No! I can’t stop laughing. It’s another laughing fit. Help me!

[Snickering Hound]

The ayatollah has been reading too much L Ron Hubbard.

[Steely Tom]

Is that real?

License plate looks a little odd.

Anyway, great concept!

I thought he was supposed to crawl out of a well in QOM?
