Uh-oh.

In Mansfield's emailed newsletter, in commentary I don't find on her website, she notes:

===[begin Mansfield]

I suggest that everyone read this very carefully.

The holy Koran stresses this common word and calls on an followers of divine religions and says: [3.64] Say: O followers of the Book! Come to an equitable proposition between us and you that we shall not serve any but Allah and (that) we shall not associate aught. With Him and (that) some of us shall not take others for lords besides Allah, but if they turn back, then say: Bear witness that we are Muslims. (The Family of Imran).

Quoting the letter from Amahdinejad:

-----

Mr President, According to divine verses, we have all been called upon to worship one God and follow the teachings of divine prophets.

We increasingly see that people around the world are flocking towards a main focal point - that is the Almighty God. Undoubtedly through faith in God and the teachings of the prophets, the people will conquer their problems. My question for you is: "Do you not want to join them?"

-----

The gist is this: Iran's President has just officially invited the US to embrace Islam.

This is NOT good

====[end Mansfield]

Wow. "Not good" indeed.

That's an aspect of the letter that you will NOT find discussed in the mainstream media. I missed it completely myself. Yet it's obviously, blindingly evident. And very, very chilling, now that she has pointed it out.

See, inviting an enemy to embrace Islam is, traditionally, reserved as a last warning. For example:

"Ali Ibn Abi Talib encountered a man called 'Umru and told him, `I indeed invite you to Islam.' 'Umru said, `I do not need that.' 'Ali said, Then I call you to fight.' (This was the same policy Muhammad used with those who rejected his invitation.) 'Umru answered him, `What for my nephew? By God, I do not like to kill you.' `Ali said, `But, by God, I love to kill you"' (ibn Hisham, "The Biography of the Prophet", part 3, p. 113; see also Al Road Al Anf part 3, p. 263).

Have a nice day.

Argh, could you please correct the title, should be:

Mansfield: A Final Warning from the Islamist Rulers of Iran?

So sorry.

This is a vitally important take on the Ahmadinejad letter.

[Rushmore Rocks]

FYI

[cibco]

How you doing?

[Rushmore Rocks]

Best in the the West. And you?

[EternalHope]

Laura's credentials are excellent, and her analysis looks solid.

All in all, this looks like the most likely reason for the letter.

[cibco]

Can't complain. Still hangin' in there.

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

"Laura's credentials are excellent, and her analysis looks solid. All in all, this looks like the most likely reason for the letter."

I agree. This is urgent breaking news and needs a huge spotlight.

JimRob & Admin Mod, please, move this back to Breaking News. Mansfield's conclusion is one of the most urgently important I've seen in months.

[reagandemocrat]

Let me guess....

Uh, jihad!?

[Deo volente]

I have an uneasy feeling we're going to be at DEFCON 1 sooner rather than later.

This maniac needs to be stopped, permanently.

ORIGINAL LETTER SENT TO GEORGE BUSH FROM MAHAMOUD AHMADINEJAD

From Six Meat Buffet

[RetiredArmy]

Is support for this regime in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ (PBUH) or Moses (PBUH) or liberal values?

Dang, until he used that term, he had be believing in him. (/Sarcasm on strong.)

[Code_One]

This latest Iran stuff is just fluff.

[plain talk]

Bush response:

Mahmood: We have asaying about people like you in Texas - all hat and no cattle. Shut your mouth, shut down the nukes, and keeping pumping out that oil. Going through life - short, ignorant and stupid - is no way to go through life, son.

Best Regards,

President george W. Bush

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

"This latest Iran stuff is just fluff."

Believe that at your peril. History shows you should never let your guard down when a crazy messianic jihadist "invites you to Islam."

[rhombus]

I like this one too:

Mahmood:

Nuts.

Best Regards,

President George W. Bush

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

"I have an uneasy feeling we're going to be at DEFCON 1 sooner rather than later."

If the Defense folks are paying attention to the Islamic subtext in this letter, we should be there now. Arguably, what the letter represents is the cocking of a trigger.

[freedomson]

Finally, Mansfield's commentary allows this cryptic letter makes sense.

Gird your loins, people.

[Code_One]

I don't even know what were supposed to be scared of?

After many years of research, Iran has made hundreds of centrifuges. I can't remember the exact number.

My point is that it takes thousands to actually make a bomb. And Iran is 10 plus years awy from that goal.

Even if they do eventually create a bomb...whose to say they would even use it?

Look to India and Pakistan as examples. Both are nuclear powers, both accuse each other of terrorism. Both have a terrible history of violence.

I've yet to read anything that would give the slightest hint of one country wanting to use their nukes on the other.

Iran just wants to puff its chest.

That's all.

And that aint gonna hurt no one.

Especially me or my family.

I support Mansfield's general warning that, in the west,

similar early speeches and statements (in form, style and

substance) from Osama and others were, in retrospect, the

last major public pronouncements before some major event.

Such statements were ignored when delivered because the

form and style is so roundly dismissed in the west. But,

the westerners who dismiss these statements so lightly

ignore how important such messages are to the people who

make them.
