Ahmadinejad is simply repeating the standard Shi'ite doctrine about the Mahdi appearing at the end of time to kill all the nonmuslims, convert the rest, and rule over the earth in a shar'ia utopia for a while until the final trumpets sound.

But he is not alone. For decades Muslims have been flooded with propaganda that these are the End Times. Certainly thousands, perhaps millions of them believe it.

It is extremely dangerous to mix nuclear weapons with the belief that there is NO FUTURE.

The Sunnis have their own version of the Mahdi: instead of being the 12th Shi'ite Imam, he will be a restorer of the Caliphate, who will spread Islam world-wide.
