There are going to be some disappoonted apocalyptoids in Iran.
The "leadership" of this country is like a pack of rabid dogs
I guess he's been oblivious as to the goings on to his west.
"apocalyptoids"
What a great word! Islamic sub-human androids of a sort?
Oh, man! We could give them all the death and misery they want. But they are going to have to beg. They need to get permission from the UN for us to blast the crap out of them so the savior can return.
Who the heck would follow a savior who disappeared down a well, anyway? Sounds like a dumba$$ to me.
Ping Ping.
I'm Betting their fear of Bush is justified, and we smack them before he leaves office.... long before!
Not sub-human. Don't mean to imply that. But, a fairly large set of groups who believe in the Apocalypse, some Christian, some Moslem. The Moslems have developed their detailed vision of the Apocalypse considerably more than the Christians have, but the cast of characters is remarkably similar.
These are same lunitics who met with Danish imam's immediately after the initial publication of the mohammad cartoon, then subsequently organized the protests.
Thier mission statement is "to hasten the arrival of the 12th imam through spreading chaos."
The subhuman android comment was mine, no reflection on your original statement. My thoughts are less kind than yours :-))
Did you know that just recently the Islamic Regime has finally - after over a quarter of a century - made the blood price for a non-Moslem, equal to that of a Moslem citizen?
In the past the family a Moslem killed by someone would be allowed to demand a "blood price" from the killer to waive their right to retribution. A Christian or Jew or someone from another recognized religion would only be allowed to claim HALF of the current $27,800 that has been set now for everybody.
This new amount is apparently about eight (8) percent higher than before but some complain that it does not reach the 13% inflation rate. (A very modest assessment of the real inflation that is apparently beginning to spiral upward ever faster).
Alan Peters Bump!!
apocalyptoids"
I took that to mean those who wish to create Armageddon in a brain dead fashion...oh, sorry, you said the same thing! :)
What do you make of that?
This should explain everything...I think it's the sunni version...(snip)

The followers of all religions and traditions maintain such a belief and are awaiting the appearance of such a commanding figure under the divine protection. Each tradition recognizes this figure with a different name and specific title. The Zoroastrians call him Saoshyant (meaning the 'savior of the world'); the Jews know him as the messiah, whereas the Christians regard him as the Savior Messiah. However, each group believes that this divinely ordained savior will be among them. The Zoroastrians believe he is Persian and among the followers of Zoroaster. The Jews maintain that he will be among the Children of Israel, and the follower of Moses. The Christians think he will be one among them. Muslims believe that he will be among the Hashimites and among the direct descendants of the Prophet. In Islam he has been fully introduced, whereas in other religions this is not so.
It is remarkable that all the characteristics and signs mentioned for this universal savior in other religions are applicable to the promised Mahdi, the son of Imam Hasan 'Askari. It is possible to regard him as Iranian in race because among his ancestors is the mother of the fourth Imam Zayn al-'Abidin who, as the daughter of Yazdgard, the Sassanian king, was a Persian princess. He can also be considered among the Children of Israel, since both the Hashimites and the Israelites are among the descendants of Abraham. The Hashimites are the descendants of Isma'il (Ishmael) and the Israelites are the descendants of Ishaq (Isaac). Hence, the Hashimites and the Israelites are one family. He is also connected to Christians because, according to some traditions, the mother of the present Imam was a Byzantine princess by the name of Narjis (Nargis), who is part of the miraculous story reported in some sources.
It is not appropriate to confine the deliverer of the world, the Mahdi, to one particular nation. He will actually come to fight against all discriminatory claims of racial, creedal and national distinction. Consequently, he should be regarded as the Mahdi of the whole of humanity. He is the savior and deliverer of the people who worship God. His victory is the victory of all the prophets and all the righteous ones on earth. He will be restoring the religion of Abraham, Moses, Jesus and all of the heavenly revelations, namely, Islam; he will revive the pure religion of Moses and Jesus which had foretold the prophethood of Muhammad.

SOP for the Slimes -- just copy it.
Yep they're all lunatics!!
It's a shame that people keep adding crazy stuff to Islam that started off such a simple religion... Crazy people.
