Mahmood I'm-Mahdi-in-a-JarMahdi Hatter
Not quite the way I understand it. My understanding is that he sees himself as the prime mover in creating the conditions of chaos and destruction that they believe precede the coming of the Mahdi, and thus accelerate that coming. For example, he is said to have dropped the names of his cabinet members down the well where the Mahdi is supposed to be hiding; there'd be no point in that if he considered himself to be the Mahdi.

Identification of the Prophesied Imam Mahdi
" As Muslims, we should remember that the prophecy about Mahdi is one that ... This person (Imam Mahdi) will distribute the spoils of war after the battle. ..."

Yep, everybody's got an anus and an opinion and nearly everybody's got a 'blog but I ain't sniffin' any of it, least of all some raghead's drivel.
To use a Ghost Busters analogy, I believe he is the "Keymaster." The mahdi would be "Gatekeeper."
I'm convinced he is the Mahdi.
Which means he must die.
Mahmood Ahmadinejad CANNOT be the mahdi - he fails the very first descriptive below -- He will be TALL!
http://www.islam.tc/prophecies/imam.html
His Features:
Hadhrat Abu Saeed Khudri (R.A.) relates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, "Al Mahdi will be from my progeny. His forehead will be broad and his nose will be high. He will fill the world with justice and fairness at a time when the world will be filled with oppression. He will rule for seven years."
Other ahadeeth inform us that:
* He will be tall
* He will be fair complexioned
* His facial features will be similar to those of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)
* His character will be exactly like that of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)
* His father's name will be Abdullah
* His mother's name will be Aamina
* He will speak with a slight stutter and occasionally this stutter will frustrate him causing him to hit his hand upon his thigh.
* His age at the time of his emergence will be forty years
* He will receive Knowledge from Allah.

fyi
Exactly, proclaiming the happy UN-Birthday of the Mahdi..
Alice in Wonderland?.. a cup of Islamic tea?...
Mahmood I'm-Mahdi-in-a-JarDoes Ahmadinejad believe he is the Mahdi? And if so, does he remember what happened each time in the past (Sudan in the 19th c, Saudi Arabia in the 20th, among others) someone has proclaimed themselves the Mahdi? It's enough to make his head spin.
Literally.
My LAST post here on this .... I've been doing a bit of research ....
Who is the evil Dajjal (the "anti-Christ")?
by Mohammed Ali Ibn Zubair Ali
http://www.islam.tc/prophecies/masdaj.html
< excerpted >
Other Ahadeeth regarding Dajjal inform us that:
He will emerge between Shaam and Iraq, and his emergence will become known when he is in Isfahaan at a place called Yahudea.
The Yahudis (Jews) of Isfahaan will be his main followers.
Apart from having mainly Yahudi followers, he will have a great number of women followers as well.
He will have with him fire and water, but in reality the fire will be cold water while that what appears to be cold water will in reality be a blazing fire.
Those who obey him will enter "his Jannat" while those who disobey him will enter "his Jahannam."
There will be a thick fingernail-like object in his left eye.
The letters "Kaa" "Faa" "Raa" will appear on his forehead and will be deciphered by all Mu'mineen regardless of them being literate or not.
He will have a wheatish complexion.
He will travel at great speeds and his means of conveyance will be a gigantic mule. It is said that he will play beautiful music which will attract the music lovers.
Dajjal will lay claim to prophethood.
He will then lay claim to Divinity.
He will perform unusual feats.
He will travel the entire world.
He will send down rains upon those who believe in him, which in turn will cause good crops to grow, trees to bear fruit and cattle to grow fat.
He will cause drought to those who disbelieve in him, resulting in starvation and hardship for them.
During those trying times the Mu'mineen will satiate their hunger through the recitation of Subhanallah and La'ilaha Ilallahu.
The hidden treasures will spill forth at his command. He will stay on this Earth for a period of forty days; the length of the first day will be one year, the second day will be equal to one month, the third day will be equal to a week and the remaining days will be normal.
He will be unable to enter Makkah because the Malaikah will be guarding the Holy City and nor will he be able to enter Madina because there will be Malaikah guarding each of the seven entrances to Madina; From Madina he will proceed towards Shaam where Imaam Mahdi will be stationed.
Finally Isa (A.S.) will descend from the heavens and pursue him and eventually kill him at present day Lydda (Baad Lud).

Maud d'ib, maybe.
I propse we throw him down the well head first and see if he crawls out. If he does, he is the Madhi. If not, he was a usurper and unworthy of being around when the Madhi does crawl our of the Qom hole.
Easiest way to clear that up.
If this guy for one minute thinks he's him he's absolutely DELUTED....and is an absolute NUT!!! [the eyes are the windows of the soul...did anyone notice that guy's eyes in the wallace interview? Jesus called legions of demons out...that's what he's got legions possessing him.]
