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."
He wants nukes, lets give it to him.
Newt said recently that Ahmadinejab is a 12-hour flight (from N. Korea) from having nuclear missiles. That one gave me pause.
It's not an "End of the World" prophecy, It's an ascendancy of Islam prophecy.........
Interesting. Thanks.
i would prefer a well-placed bullet.
I truly believe it is a portent of what will almost certainly occur.
Much to my disgust I might add.
Cheers,

If I recall correctly, the next day, August 23 is the anniversery date of the Islamic reconquest of Jerusalem from the crusaders.
I just put this link in to my planner for the 23th. Bet ya nothing happens!

Details please?
Too little, too late for that, another nut-case would take his place.
Something much bigger than a bullet is needed.

Note this on this site:

Aug, 22, 2006. Mercury, Saturn, Venus, and the crescent Moon are grouped together low in the East. Aug. 26, a very close approach of Venus and Saturn (.5 degree). Big events in the world: Muslim terrorism and war? Watch for major events in: North Korea, increased war in the Middle East, and more trouble with Muslim terrorism.
like the times before September, 2001, for example.
A distinction without a difference.
Thanks.
I read that about a week or so ago and it seemed to fit exactly what I was thinking about this nut.
It's not a well, but a latrine. You must have a wrong translation. A couple of Tridents should have the standing orders for carpet nuking.
