Good writing. I agree with your assessment of the mullahs running the IRI and the danger they present to the world.
A couple of remarks -
"Up to this point millennialism was a belief and a hope. No one ever aspired to or had the means of making the anticipated events come about."
Many people have "aspired" to bring about Armageddon or the "second coming". It's the "means" that they've lacked.
I'm glad you make the distinction between islamists and other muslims, but you forget to mention that not only are non-muslims and "people of the Book" attacked by the islamists, but other muslim sects as well. In fact, it is other muslims who have paid the biggest price, not the non-muslims.
It will be interesting to see how many people replying to your post fail to make the distinction.
That is interesting. I have a friend who is acquainted with RAbbi Moshe Laurie, a former Israelis body guard who had a Paulesque Christian conversion. He has repeatedly stated that the fanatic Muslims will not hesitate to kill the more moderate Muslims if they do not join in the killing of nonbelievers
