"I can't see how they could survive facing the capability of an America sporting the missionary zeal and moral compass of the old Soviet Union."
They think the Mahdi is returning soon, within 24 months.
Not before an Ezekiel 38 and 39 scenario, I'll wager, but I wouldn't presume to disagree with them...
al Mahdi's coming is the reason the Iranians are so emboldened, they feel his coming is imminent and they are clamoring for their God. It is also the reason the muslims are rioting worldwide and the MSM refuses to identify them as muslims. Their term is disgruntled youths or as in the case of Australia, race riots. What the MSM fails to tell you is that gang rapes of Australian women by muslims is prevalent.

It took Fox News three days before they acknowledged that the riots in France were in fact muslims. The same happened in Denmark while Paris was burning.

This is a worldwide phenomenon. I believe that the only reason that it hasn't happened in the states is our 2nd ammendment right to bear arms. But give the liberals enough time and power.....
