No, the Mahdi is a different person from Isha (the Muslim's idea of Jesus). They think Isha will have a "second coming" in order to fight alongside the Mahdi to kill the Dajjal and all the infidels, and to establish a world-wide Islamic utopia under shari'a law. See my FR homepage -- there are links there to the hadith where you can read the Muslim prophecies for yourself.
That was a bunch of college students tossing that idea around when W invaded Iraq. They hoped he'd come to Iran next and clean things up. They were spoofing on the beliefs of their elders at the same time, I think.
BTW, the Shi'ites believe the Mahdi will be the return of the hidden 12th Imam. The Sunni's believe he will just be a great Muslim born recently.
Whether or not all Christians are Trinitarians are beside the point --- THE point is that Izamadjihadist --- and most all muslims --- deems Christians polytheistic. Period.
Who or what is correct on the underlying issues of the Trinity is of no importance when parsing his code, which was --- to his primary muslim audience --- a clear call for the imposition of Islam on the world.
It was intentional, and intentionally couched so that one would have to have a working knowledge of Islam and Christiantity to get it.
(The only reason I get it immediately, is I have had fights with my family --- Orthodox Jews --- regarding the Shema (a Jewish prayer regarding, in part, the oneness of God) --- being compatible or incompatible with Christianity.)
Why did you choose your screen name?
A mix of these reasons:
* As I see it, my main job is to teach two words: Dajjal and Qiyama, and how they apply to 9/11 & the WOT.
* So while my message is "We are not the Dajjal" the first thing needed is just to get some word recognition out there.
* There's a bit of punk-attitude #1: "Those guys are so stupid -- they think _I'm_ "the Dajjal" (and you too)!"
* And punk-attitude #2: "Yeah, right, you geniuses -- I'm really your "Dajjal"! (idgits!)
And, last but not least:
* I had tried registering with FR a few times before, but someone always had the nick I tried. This one went through. LOL!
Arrest Ahmadinejad perhaps? Hell the Left is applauding him!
I'm not capable of compartmentalizing reality and forgetting his earlier (but recent) speeches calling for the destruction of "Zion" and the U.S. He has proved himself to me to be a completely insane fanatic. I don't dialogue with fantatics who threaten murder much less worldwide destruction.
Hang on while I Google that. I have only heard them on television.
The reason they deem Christians polytheistic is in order to lump them in with all other pagans to be utterly wiped out wheras the koran allows a few (presumably non-Trinitarian) Christians to remain as an oppressed minority.
