WSJ: Scholar Warns Iran's Ahmadinejad May Have 'Cataclysmic Events' In Mind For August 22 Tue Aug 08 2006 10:22:35 ET
In a WALL STREET JOURNAL op-ed Tuesday, Princeton's Bernard Lewis writes: "There is a radical difference between the Islamic Republic of Iran and other governments with nuclear weapons. This difference is expressed in what can only be described as the apocalyptic worldview of Iran's present rulers."
"In Islam as in Judaism and Christianity, there are certain beliefs concerning the cosmic struggle at the end of time -- Gog and Magog, anti-Christ, Armageddon, and for Shiite Muslims, the long awaited return of the Hidden Imam, ending in the final victory of the forces of good over evil, however these may be defined."
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad "and his followers clearly believe that this time is now, and that the terminal struggle has already begun and is indeed well advanced. It may even have a date, indicated by several references by the Iranian president to giving his final answer to the US about nuclear development by Aug. 22," which this year corresponds "to the 27th day of the month of Rajab of the year 1427. This, by tradition, is the night when many Muslims commemorate the night flight of the prophet Muhammad on the winged horse Buraq, first to 'the farthest mosque,' usually identified with Jerusalem, and then to heaven and back (c.f., Koran XVII.1).
"This might well be deemed an appropriate date for the apocalyptic ending of Israel and if necessary of the world. It is far from certain that Mr. Ahmadinejad plans any such cataclysmic events precisely for Aug. 22. But it would be wise to bear the possibility in mind."
Yeah, Madden is coming out that day and the next Dune book. Damn. Just damn.

The moslims don't give a rat's rearend about Jerusalem..they would bomb it in a minute if they thought they could....it is only a "holy site" because the sandmaggots know that is is truly sacred to Christians and Jews.
OK...Thanks :)
>>Paris Hilton’s music album set for August 22 debut
I'm afraid that people will be praying for nuclear missiles to rain down on them after hearing this.
You would think that the album alone would be destruction enough for one day.
My grandpa always warned me that some nut someday would start throwing nukes around. It is inevitable as history keeps repeating itself and nuts are in power with nuclear weapons in North Korea, China, Pakistan, India, and Iran. Time to stock up on beer and popcorn.
It also says the Royals will lose a bunch of baseball games ....!!!
BTTT
Given the statement of Ahm.., any nation could smuggle a nuke in to the US and use it to push the US in to a war with Iran.
- Neil Young, from the song Time Fades Away
Is it just me or does this clown Ahmadinejad remind anyone else of a large walking fece?
Y2K, The sun still came up and so did my computer:)
Skynet?
From the Web.......
On August 6th 1995, NHK(public TV/radio station in Japan) on-aired Yoko Ono's new song called "Hiroshima Sky is Always Blue".
According to reports, Hiroshima survivors called hearing her song, "the most horrifying experience of their lives."
WSJ
What is he going to do on that day?Fart really loud?
"How then can one confront such an enemy, with such a view of life and death?"
The Bible and the Talmud provide the answer.
"'If one comes to kill you, rise and kill him first." (The Talmud, Tractate Berachos; The Soncino Edition, London 1990, p. 62b.)
And
"Don't stand idly by your brother's blood," says the verse in Leviticus (19:16)"
