Islam's Mahdi: Bringer of peace or war?

Imagine for a moment, if you would, that each year the American president, vice president, Congress and the Senate gathered together to strategize with Christian leaders to discuss how to "introduce Jesus Christ to the world and pave the way for his return." As surreal as this may sound, this is in effect what happens each year in Iran. But instead of paving the way for Jesus, the Iranians are paving the way for both the Islamic "Mahdi" and Jesus.

When the newly elected Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stood before the U.N. General Assembly in 2005, very few in attendance understood what he was talking about when he prayed for the soon return of his messiah figure known as the "Mahdi." Four years later, many in the world media are still in the dark concerning who or what the Mahdi is.

Last week, the leaders of Iran held their Fifth Annual Conference on Mahdism Doctrine. For the past five years, the Iranian religious and political leaders have annually gathered together for two days in the city of Qom for what is called "The International Conference of Mahdism Doctrine," sponsored by the Bright Future Institute. The purpose of the Bright Future Institute is "to introduce Imam Mahdi to the world," to "pave the ground for his reappearance."

" Ayatollah Ibrahim al Amini, professor at the Religious Learning Center at Qom, affirms Larijani, when he states that "The Mahdi will offer the religion of Islam to the Jews and Christians; if they accept it they will be spared, otherwise they will be killed."

bttt sounds like the Anti-Christ

[RegulatorCountry]

Delve into the Suras of the Koran that describe this "Mahdi," mysterious circumstances of birth to the point that people will wonder if he was ever actually born, a mole on the cheek, a high nose ... sound familiar? Somebody's cynically playing the part of the Muslim end-times figure. To what end?

The confrontation with islam is coming - the only question is whether the West will have the willpower to fight.

http://www.answering-islam.org/Authors/JR/Future/index.htm is a must read, in my opinion, if you want to learn about the anti-christ and the false prophet.

It also mentions someone called the “pure soul.”

The article forget to mention the road the Gov paved to the well where the mini-mahdi is supposed to return from once they get a muzzie plumber to loosen all the pig crap from the hole. Also - Im-a-nut-job made his cabinet sign a loyalty oath to the well dwelling mini-mahdi when he was first elected. He then proceeded to drop the loyalty oath down the well like liquid plumber in a crap filled drain with the hope to free up the well of it’s dwelling devil.

Funny...crap always floats to the surface.

“sounds like the Anti-Christ”

Read the link at Post 5 or support the author by getting the book, but know that the parallels (anti-parallels really) are astounding.

Islam's Mahdi: Bringer of peace or war?

Dar es Salaam (Arabic: دار السلام‎ [translation: "house of Peace"]

Peace will come when every one submits to Islam or is dead.

Peace or war is a rhetorical question.

Yep. The anti-christ and the false prophet.
