Khamenei has been heard to say that the coming of the last Islamic Messiah, the Shiites’ 12th Imam Mahdi, is near and that specific actions need to be taken to protect the Islamic regime for upcoming events.
Mahdi, according to Shiite belief, will reappear at the time of Armageddon.
Nuts, hate filled zealots, who will take the world down if they are allowed to. Pound them now. Hard.

Yeah, they believe that and a whole lot of other crazy stuff, thing is there are clandestine Muslim groups seeking to fulfill all these twisted prophecies, and to justify their attacks on all non-Muslims... etc.
If they are successful... well, lets not go there yet, and pray we don't have to.

Your right, he will but that war will be fought against the Antichrist or from a Muslim perspective Dajjal who will rise in Jerusalem. The part where you are wrong is assuming that Islam is the Antichrist. They aren't. Jesus is an Islamic prophet also. The only religion who doesn't recognise Jesus is Judaism.

I'm not assuming anything, and for the record I don't believe in any of that religious bull#, but what I believe in, or whether or not I have faith in God etc. isn't relevant here.
What is relevant is that I have seen what they are planning to do, and if they can't be stopped it will be worse than even you can possibly imagine.

I have seen roughly a Million Iraqis die at the hands of the West. Tens of Thousands in Afghanistan. What could be much worse than what is already happening now?
Or don't the deaths of Muslims count? Maybe thats why Extremists are so hell bent on killing westerners, who knows.. Maybe we have dug our own dirt on this one.

I understand religion but do not agree with countries making the fictional prophecies a self fulfilling prophecy.
Yes the USA will fall eventually as will Israel. There are more major powers getting involved now and alliances are beginning to form. The influence of the West and Europe are beginning to wane.
