Tehran, Iran, Mar. 02 Irans radical President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared on Thursday in Malaysia that Islam will be the dominant power in the near future, the official state news agency reported.
The near future will be in the hands of Islam, Ahmadinejad said after a meeting in Kuala Lumpur with the King of Malaysia. He cited the victory of the Islamist group Hamas in the recent Palestinian elections as a sign of the rise of Islamism in the world.
History has shown that when Muslims become powerful, they do not use their power to the detriment of others, but use it in the service of peace and tranquillity, Ahmadinejad said.
The Iranian presidents vision of a world dominated by Islam in the near future is bound to exacerbate concern in the West and among moderate Muslims, who are alarmed by his strong views on the imminent return of the Shiite messiah, the Mahdi.
Ahmadinejad is on record as saying that he sees his main mission as being that of preparing the stage for the return of the Mahdi, said Ali Basrawi, an Iraqi Shiite political analyst living in London. He belongs to a school of thought that believes the Mahdi would return only when the world is in deep crisis. That political philosophy, particularly if devoutly believed in, could lead to very erratic and unpredictable decisions by the president of a country on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons.
Ahmadinejad told the Malaysian monarch that Muslims around the world bear a very heavy responsibility to introduce Islam to others.
He accused nuclear powers of bullying and threatening smaller nations.
Agreed...can you spell INCOMING!
Interesting little write up on what the Madhi is .

I dont like it !
Dominate the world in the near future? Well, Ahmadinejaddiedaddie, don't hold your breath. On second thought, please do...
When the mufti says
"Ve is da master race"
We say HEIL! HEIL!
Right in the mufti's face!
I was thinking of this song the other day, in the same context. In Spike signo vincit.
Thanks!
That site's a gold mine! And to think, I was doing much of my own research personally...
Rofl!
Doesn't happen for another 3000-4000 years. Come down from the hills already and join the rest of us. The BBQ chicken is great!
"History has shown that when Muslims become powerful, they do not use their power to the detriment of others, but use it in the service of peace and tranquillity, Ahmadinejad said."
Oh Mahmoud, you so craazy!
It might, but the last time that I looked, the UAE has a significant population of Iranians that the UAE government was already very concerned about as a potential fifth column.

While the Western press paints Ahmadinejad as if he is all alone in expecting the Mahdi, the sad fact is that he is just one of millions. For the last few decades, Muslims (both Sunni and Shi'ite) have been deluged with "evidence" from the Hadith that these are the Last Days, that the Western nations are the Dajjal, and that very soon the Mahdi will come who will destroy the Dajjal and establish a worldwide Islamic utopia under shar'ia law.
See my FR Homepage and my Links Page for more information.
They think that their victory is predestined. Even threatening them with nukes will not help, because the imams have been preaching that Allah can suspend the laws of physics, so that if a nuclear bomb is set off, no Muslims or Muslim property will be destroyed, but Allah will make the wind will carry the radioactivity back upon the Westerners. And soon Ahmadinejad will have his own nukes to use to "pave the way for the Mahdi."
For Shi'ites, the Mahdi will be the 12th imam, returning after centuries of hiding, while for Sunnis, the Mahdi will be someone who restores the caliphate.
These articles tend to portray the Mahdi just as some "charismatic Muslim leader" -- but a better desccription is "the Muslim prophesied to kill every infidel on Earth and convert the survivors."
Thanks for the rather excellant view on how invincible they feel they are. More westerners have to understand what we are dealing with. I continue to think however, people like GWB have been educated on these things but must put on a front that makes it appear we are not against them in hopes of settling them down etc.. I would communicate more but must soon ready for travel this weekend.
I wonder what happens if they go 0-for-1 on that theory early on.
You're right. Just look at the results of the riots in LA. The ghetto masses are now the most powerful people that dominate America. Right.
