"I remember Ahmadinejad saying he believes the Mahdi will appear in the next two years. Is there something the Islamists have to do to prepare for him, or such?"

Go to ShiaChat and scroll down until you find the subset on Imam Madhi. Other links are included within the forum.

However, the most important thing they have to do to prepare is to listen to Ahmadinejad. That's what he and his mullahs are counting on to incite Muslims.
