It is now August 22nd in Iran. As many of you know, there have been rumors of big events for the 22nd. Some have predicted that Iran will attack Israel, while others have said that nothing out of the ordinary will take place.
This year, August 22nd corresponds to the 27th of Rajab on the Islamic calendar. Muslims believe this to be the day when Muhammad traveled from Mecca to Jerusalem, and then from Jerusalem to heaven in order to meet with the prophets and to meet with Allah.
Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said that August 22nd, 2006 is the date which Iran will respond to the nuclear incentives package offered by the United States and several European nations. If nothing else, we expect to hear whether Iran has decided to accept the incentives package, or whether they have decided to reject it.
However, many analysts believe that Iran will attempt something daring today. Iran has test fired several short-range missiles in the past few days, and there have been rumors of Iranian officials being present for Kim Jong Il's failed long-range missile test. All of this added in with the rumors of an imminent nuclear test by North Korea and Ahmadinejad's anti-Semitic rhetoric make one wonder if something big will happen today.
So, will August 22nd turn out to be a day of madness? Will there be more missile tests? Will there be a nuclear test? Will there be terrorist attacks? Will there be an attack on Israel? Or will it just be an ordinary day?
We will find out in mere hours.
It's been sundown since 11:16am EDT Nothing. Midnight since 4:30pm EDT Nothing.
The new moon over Tehran at 7:45pm EDT.
I suspect nothing will happen, as usual.
Persian Cheese!
August 22nd in Iran....
In Islam, doesn't the day start at sunrise?
It is 1:46 am in Tehran and there have been no sighting of the flying horse, yet!
Now what is Glen Beck gonna do? Idiot has been freaking out for the last month waiting on Aug 22
turn the tables on them bastards, a good day to kick their asses out of existence....
It's 1:50:49 AM in Tehran. Do you know where your Jihadists are?
Never trust a time zone that is 30 minutes off off standard UTC.
Flying horse is a Sunni thing, at least those Sunni
who disbelieve the witness who said Mohammed
made the whole thing up.
Shi'ites celebrate Mabath, the day their moon/meteorite-god told Mohammed
in a cave to spread terrorism, beheadings, lying, slavery, and dhimmihude
throughout the world.
what was the old joke - Hitler would die on a Jewish Holiday - how do you know? trust me the day he dies will be a Jewish Holiday.
Sorry, I got my mystical horse and the other BS stories mixed up.
I love Glen Beck. He's the best conservative "entertainment" around. Emphasis on entertainment.

If Sinbad's coming to get us, I hope it's the Harryhausen one, not Douglas Fairbanks. It might be fun fighting off stop-motion monsters . . . |
