It does not matter if you included it in the thread or NOT. Its a valid chess piece, and is playing a crucial role in your brainwashed thinking. To take israel out of this conversation is like taking bread off of a sandwich.
That’s ridiculous.
Are you telling me that you are incapable of answering a question about Iran without pointing out what ISRAEL DOES??
You should get that checked out…maybe therapy?

Yeah yeah! I have heard this before. Those rascally Twelvers spewing end-time prophecies again? At least they are good for something. They give us plenty to talk about. The Supreme Leader should be careful what he wishes for, because it could be his world that comes to an end?
I am to the point now that this stuff is about as interesting as watching paint dry. This back and forth has gone on for too long. Either there is going to be an attack or not. It is like one big Middle Eastern soap opera. I think this stuff is a bunch of superstitious nonsense. All this talk and nothing? I say to Iran, do something already! Or go about your business. No one wants to hear your fortune telling. Just my opinion.edit on 9-7-2012 by Jakes51 because: (no reason given)

this sounds peaceful? I think this person will have to invade every nation to accomplish his goal. and you say Iran doesn't invade countries...won't this be a sticking point between themselves and their Mahdi?
somehow...a country that punishes bad dressers and people with unapproved haircuts won't be considered an oppressive system.
If the Iranian system is the right one...i've got serious mental issues because I just don't see how that could be.edit on 9-7-2012 by michaelbrux because: (no reason given)

I have read similar statements coming from that governing body for quite some time now. Many in their Gov’t actually think it is their duty to bring forth the 12th Imam.
One thing though. What if they are soundly trashed in the conflict?
I’m not talking OIF or OEF trashed, but Japan and Germany trashed.
Will they then commit suicide or look around and think, “Humph! I guess I was wrong. Whodathunk?”

Men in this country can't go to work without a garrote around their neck...this has nothing to do with the right to enforce on countries will and ideals on another by violence.
There was a time when the word Infidel was used by Christians in the very same way it is now used by Muslims. They used the word and tried to wipe out the Infidels in the world.

Funny how people cry about the 12th imam but overlook the fact that other religions are calling for the end of times as well.
So what if they are prepping for the 12th imam's return his return will also bring about the return of Jesus as well. The Imam will bring about a period of peace and justice among Muslims just like Jesus will with the Christians. And after the Muslims are brought together he will turn control of them to Jesus for the final battle with the antichrist

I would never make a good POTUS as I believe that if you direct your country to take action against another, you don’t play around.
As my Great-great-Great Grandfather said, “War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want.” William Tecumseh Sherman
These brush-fire conflicts are a death by a thousand cuts. And they are not accomplishing much, other than breeding new hatred.
I am by no means advocating conflict, I wish it wouldn’t happen but it does…such is human nature.
War is what happens when someone invades or attacks your country. It shouldn't be decided by people who don't live in the country with different morals, ideologies, mores, beliefs, government practices, etc. If a country doesn't agree with another country, who are they to come and say, "change yourself to be more inline with our thinking, because it's right!" ?
I too, hope nothing comes of this, but I believe I am deluded about a peaceful outcome.
Islamic banking refers to banking by the principles of Sharia, the holy law set out in the Qur’an. The Qur’an forbids the charging of interest in exchange for a loan or “riba”. In some cases, this was also the practice of the Catholic Church in post-Roman through medieval times. Modern banking systems are built around interest.

So, you think Human Nature is all about War than?? Sad state of affairs if that is the case. Who has threatened the US??
No one.
Who has sent hundreds of thousands of troops under the guise of NATA to foreign lands over the last two decades?? Ohh, that would be the USOFA.
Now, who did the same thing before the USOFA?? Oh, that would be the British. Thank God for Independence.

Know the end from the beginning.....read Ezekiel 38-39.
You can then look and see how these countries have come together in the last 10 years.
These alliances would have been seen as impossible just a decade ago.
Makes you wonder about the validity of the Big Book (Bible) after one sees these prophecies fall into place perfectly.

She was still fighting, for the very thing, you can do today.
I dont want Iran Invaded. But I will tell you this much. For change to happen in that country, its going to be Iranians, spilling Iranian blood, Not Israel or America attacking it.

Yep, there probably are.
But they don't go around broadcasting it for the world to see.
The Iranian leadership does.

What the US fears is the Iranian Central Bank, which is a stumbling block to the world currency the UN wants to implement. That's the threat, that's the bomb, just as it was in Iraq, Libya and all of the other Islamic countries.
