Cronos,

Read http://noiri.blogspot.com/2008/07/enemy-within-islamic-iran.html and with $530 MILLION spent on the repression forces, it;s hard to fugure how to oppose them with untrained, unarmed civilians.

Potlatch, PhilDragoo

Obama as the 12th Imam

PhilDragoo already had one graphic of that but no harm in creating another -double barrel shotgun can use two cartridges. Street Sweeper shotgun can use lots. (Street Sweeper is a banned shotgun with a revolving drum using cartridges in a similar way a Tommy gun uses bullets)

I replied to the wrong comment so have conbined it.

Identification of the Prophesied Imam Mahdi
The Holy Prophet Muhammad(SAW) has prophesied about several events that will occur just before the advent of the day of judgment. Among these, Rasulullah(SAW) has foretold the advent of one of his descendants, Al Mahdi (the guided one), which will materialize when the believers are severely oppressed in every corner of the world. He will fight the oppressors, unite the Muslims, bring peace and justice to the world, rule over the Arabs, and lead a prayer in Mekkah at which Isa(pbuh) (Jesus) will be present.

Throughtout the history of Islam, a few individuals — driven either by the desperate state of Muslims in their community or a selfish pursuit of power and prestige — laid claim to being Mahdi and found a following among the uninformed masses who were looking for salvation from the heavens. For some of these individuals (like Bab of Iran or Mirza Ghulam of India) the claim to being Mahdi was just a stepping stone to the development of heretic sects which broke away from the fold of Islam. Thus, it is at least prudent to visit the facts of this prophecy and avoid falling pray to false claimants that will appear from time to time.

As Muslims, we should remember that the prophecy about Mahdi is one that will come to pass. This prophecy, however, does not absolve the Muslim ummah from its duty to strive in the cause of Allah(SWT), oppose injustice, and seek peace and betterment of human condition. Centuries have passes from the time of the holy Prophet(SAW) and there is a good possibility that many more will expire before the advent of Al Mahdi. Muslims who are negligent in their duty hoping for a savior are committing a grave mistake and are not following the divine decrees ordained in Quran or taught by Rasulullah(SAW).


...followed by numerous hadith...and on the very bottom there’s one that is pointedly discounted and attributed to Ali, which makes it shia.

The prophecy of the ‘guided one’ coming to rule the world come from muhammad himself. Obviously a plagiared version of the Hebrew Messiah.

FARS, it’s the TWELVERS waiting for the 12th imam that are exlusively shia, is that correct?

Thank you FARS. Yes I have viewed Phil’s graphic many times, mine is totally different as I do not copy others.

I just wanted to know the validity of it all.
