Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad predicted on Monday that Muslims would uproot "satanic powers" and repeated his controversial belief that Israel will soon disappear, the Mehr news agency reported. "I must announce that the Zionist regime (Israel), with a 60-year record of genocide, plunder, invasion and betrayal is about to die and will soon be erased from the geographical scene," he said.
"Today, the time for the fall of the satanic power of the United States has come and the countdown to the annihilation of the emperor of power and wealth has started."
Since taking the presidency in August 2005, Ahmadinejad has repeatedly provoked international outrage by predicting Israel is doomed to disappear.
"I tell you that with the unity and awareness of all the Islamic countries all the satanic powers will soon be destroyed," he said to a group of foreign visitors ahead of the 19th anniversary of the death of revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
Ahmadinejad also again expressed his apocalyptic vision that tyranny in the world be abolished by the return to earth of the Mahdi, the 12th imam of Shiite Islam, alongside great religious figures including Jesus Christ.
"With the appearance of the promised saviour... and his companions such as Jesus Christ, tyranny will be soon be eradicated in the world."
Ahmadinejad has always been a devotee of the Mahdi, who Shiites believe disappeared more than a thousand years ago and who will return one day to usher in a new era of peace and harmony.
His emphasis on the Mahdi has been a cause of controversy inside Iran with critics saying he would be better solving bread-and-butter domestic problems rather than talking about Iran's divine responsibility.
Just more fodder for another bumper sticker.
Right, Breck Girl?
Obama will negotiate the re-appearance of Israel, with him.
This jackass has been saying that 4 for years now.
Same ole broken record. Hurry up then you POS, so Israel can WIPE YOU OUT instead.
Isreal will disappear when his cherised Mahdi pops out of that well.
Although I wish to see Israel survive and prosper, should the Musidiot try it, we could have good come of it. I don’t know the outcome for Israel, but I’m quite confident that Iran will most certainly not survive.
Don’t count Israel out...they may really have a ‘national cloaking device’...what might Ahmymindisbad really know?
B. Hussein Obama (May peace be upon him) cannot even negotiate with the pastor at his church to renounce racism.
His foreign policy will be 'Run Away!!'
If we close his eyes.....they will disappear.....
Nuke Iran, Russia be damned. I’m tired of this little pipsqueak spouting like he’s got something to contend with. Just don’t treat this like Iraq and go in there for regime change. Iran is first. Saudi Arabia next. Syria... etc.
Why? No, not preemptive. We wait until Mammy attacks Isarel. WHEN he does, nuke Iran. Then, a certain Arab nation with a lot of oil will pay to have someone nuke an American city. Then we nuke every Muslim nation on earth that sides with Iran. Does anyone actually believe that war against Islam will be civil... measured?
How about a song parody based on Three Dog Night’s “Eli’s Coming” - “Imam’s Coming?”
They time is LONG overdue to bomb the livin’ shiite out of Iran.
I’m sick of I’mANutJob and his moronic rants.
I would only add...quit, hide, disarm and throw away all the gains.
I wonder what name Ahmadinejad calls the 12th iman. Hmmm....what is Iranian for Fat Man or Little Boy?
Israel says Ahmadinejad soon to dissappear
I confined an Irish Catholic from Tipperary, and as soon as he seemed tame I added a Scotch Presbyterian from Aberdeen. Next a Turk from Constantinople .. a Buddhist from China, a Brahman from Benares. Finally, a Salvation Army Colonel from Wapping. A few days later there was but a chaos of gory odds and ends of turbans and fezzes and plaids and bones and flesh –not a specimen left alive. These Reasoning Animals had disagreed on a theological detail and carried the matter to a Higher Court.”
... is that Twain didn't include anyone from the Jewish faith.
But, then again, Israel didn't exist in Twain's day.
I neglected to mention a benefit to such a war, which does not constitute a reason FOR war, but would be nice. Since muslims do not have the kind of nukes we do, the effects of a single attack on US soil will likely be limited to a few hundred meters. Deadly? Yes. Costly? Their kind of dirty bomb is not an ICBM tipped with ten 100-MT warheads, however. Russia, from M.A.D., knows they will be wiped clean if one of their missiles hits us, whether in Alaska or Florida, so they won’t try it.
The benefit is a war-time economy. Remember WWII? When the allies see an American city hit with a dirty bomb, the was will be on to fight Islam. The depression ended with WWII not because we went to war, but because the allies bought so much stuff from us for their own war needs.
Even the Godless Iranians are getting tired of his rhetoric.
I’m sure just a little talk with any of our lib elite and all would be just fine.Calling Obama someones being very bad.
