Tehran, Jan 05 – Iran’s hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a crowd of theological students in the holy city of Qom on Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon “has joined his ancestors and others will soon follow suit”, according to the state-run Mehr news agency.
“The Butcher of Sabra and Shatila has joined his ancestors and others will soon follow suit”, Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. The same report appeared on the website Khedmat, which is run by members of the Iranian president’s entourage.
Ahmadinejad’s announcement of the death of the Israeli Prime Minister comes at a time when Sharon was reportedly fighting for his life on Thursday after a massive brain stroke.
Iran’s state-owned media and newspapers have been reporting the Israeli leader’s deteriorating health condition with evident glee. In a statement put out by state-run news agencies, the Headquarters for the Commemoration of Martyrs of the Global Islamic Movement said “the death of Sharon brings joy to the hearts of Muslims”.
The ultra-conservative president told the radical Shiite Islamists, many of whom have come to Qom from different Muslim countries, that Islam did not restrict itself to geographical borders.
“We must believe in the fact that Islam is not confined to geographical borders, ethnic groups and nations. It’s a universal ideology that leads the world to justice”, Ahmadinejad said.
“We don’t shy away from declaring that Islam is ready to rule the world”, he added.
Ahmadinejad dwelled on his recurrent theme that the return of the Shiite Messiah, the Mahdi, is not far away and Muslims must prepare for it.
“We must prepare ourselves to rule the world and the only way to do that is to put forth views on the basis of the Expectation of the Return”, Ahmadinejad said, referring to the Shiite Muslim belief that the Mahdi, on his return, will establish justice in a world consumed by chaos and corruption.
“If we work on the basis of the Expectation of the Return [of the Mahdi], all the affairs of our nation will be streamlined and the administration of the country will become easier”, Ahmadinejad said.
“Some politicians think we had a revolution so that some could hit others in the head and have one party ruling for some time and another party in opposition for some time. But we had a revolution to achieve a lofty goal, on the basis on the Expectation of the Return”, he said.
Ahmadinejad said Divine Providence was helping Iran’s Islamist regime, as the turn of events around the world picked up speed.
“Our interpretation is that the hand of the Almighty is putting every piece of the jigsaw puzzle of the future of the world in place in line with the goals of Islam”, the hard-line president said.
Ahmadinejad cited the United States occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, both Iran’s neighbours, as proof of his assertion.
“The Global Oppressor [the U.S.] occupied these countries with the aim of putting pressure on Iran, but God let the fruit of this fall on the lap of the Iranian nation”, he said.
I believe when the Anti Christ arises he'll be the Muslims'
Mahdi, the Hindu's next incarnation of Krishna, and every other religion's special Messiah. He'll try to pass himself off as Christ in attempt to fool the very elect...assuming a pre-millenial rapture doesn't occur.
He'll have all the answers, people will just swoon over him under the the demonic hypnotic powers he'll have access to...and watch for a false prophet as well.
Even if this is not the time of the "evil one's rise", a historic nexus has been reached regardless and we'll all be tested!
Uh, a vast majority supported the Iraq invasion at the time, so the party affiliations and presidential votes don't equal the level of public support in time of war.
This guy desperately needs a cruise missile hitting him. His delusions, I'm afraid, are incurable, and having him sitting as a president of armed to teeth country with nuclear capabilities is dangerous for the region and the world.
You're right. And stocking up is also a good idea.
You're right on this...
We should take this clown at his word. War clouds are brewing.
The next avatar of Vishnu isn't due for another 427,000 years, and He isn't a bad guy, He's a good guy.
"He must be stopped now. The whole world will be muslim over my dead body, and that is no light statement."
I agree but Pat has no business making God calls on this fellow.
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
So the avatar arrives a "little bit early"!
He'll come on time. And the bad guys will be the ones eliminated.
Now I know why God invented the A-bomb.
I hadn't heard that. Do you have a link? Ahmadinejad's a true believer follower type, not a Mahdi type. The frenzy's making edge Muslims believe the Mahdi's here, or close. It adds danger.
Islam's hitting a wall and desperation will bring it all out. Something will step into the void. Real or not. Instability is part of change - scary when so much is on the table...

We have to wait 427 thousand years for that? Sheesh!
We don't want to be here by then. It won't be a pretty sight.
Beating the crap out of loud mouths and bullies is one of America's favorite things to do. Keep it comin' amjahajahajadeen. We're still just warming up.
After reading the comments from the Iranian wierd beard I get the same feeling about that country that you do .
"Uh, a vast majority supported the Iraq invasion at the time, so the party affiliations and presidential votes don't equal the level of public support in time of war."
Iraq and Iran are two different things at two different points in time. I am talking about todays reality, not yesterdays.
