Dream of a Conquering Islamic Messiah is very real in their Teachings!

Some of the bloodiest wars in history have been religious wars. They tend to be the bloodiest because both sides are convinced their God is with them, and the side that is the most fanatical in its belief usually has the greatest lust for blood and vengeance.
If a man were to show up in the Middle East with the proper lineage to suit the Islamic teachings of the characteristics of the Islamic Mahdi, it would throw the Muslim word into a religious frenzy greater that non-Muslims can comprehend. The devotion of the Japanese suicide bombers would be embodied by most of the world’s Islamic population.
The three usurps which follow were extracted from different sources, and all contain the same basic statement that the President of Iran is expecting the Mahdi to come on the scene around 2008, which I found to be interesting, particularly since my guesstimate for the Islamic attack against Israel to occur is at some point in time between 2008 and 2012.
Begin the Three Article Usurps
Article Usurp Number One
From Israel Hasbara Committee by Barry Shaw
And here is the biggest, and most frightening denial of all.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a religious fanatic who truly believes that the coming of the Twelfth Imam, for him the coming of the true Messiah, is due to come within two years when the world, according to his belief, after a time of cosmic chaos, bloodshed, war, and famine.
Article Usurp Number Two
When is the Next “Good News Due? By Hossein Bagher Zadeh
Ahmadinejad is known to be very keen about the Hidden Imam. He has allocated huge funds for a mosque in Jamkaran (near Qom) to encourage believers to visit the place and put their wishes addressed to the Hidden Imam in writing and put them through the two wells made especially for that purpose (segregated for men and women). He even prayed for his early return at the United Nations last September and promised the world leaders a bright world when he comes.
He is also been quoted that the return of the 12th Imam could happen in the matter of “two years”. That was last summer.
And so by his reckoning, the world may see the return of the Hidden Imam by the middle of next year.
Article Usurp Number Three
Iran, Iraq and the Golden Mosque by Ron Fraser
All streams of Islam believe in a messiah-like divine savior, the Mahdi, who, their tradition has it, will appear before the Day of Judgment. Prior to the bombing of the al Askari Mosque, there were at least two locations, according to Shia Muslim tradition, to where the Mahdi of Shia Islam, the Twelfth Imam, could return and bring the whole world under Islamic rule. One was the Golden Mosque in Samarra, Iraq, where he was reputed to have been last sighted going into hiding in a cellar in that mosque in A.D. 878. The other is the Jamkaran Mosque in Qum, Iran.
It is this Iranian Muslim icon into which President Ahmadinejad recently sunk a considerable sum of money to prepare it for the return of his Mahdi, which event he has personally predicted will occur within two years’ time. It is from the Jamkaran Mosque that Ahmadinejad has preached some of his most vociferous words of hate against the West and against all Jewry. The place has a special fascination for this fellow.
With the destruction of the Golden Mosque, Islam’s focus on where the Mahdi will supposedly return is no longer divided over two locations.
Only one of the two traditional locations now stands intact! That mosque lies in the nation which is the chief sponsor of global terror—now led by an Islamic religious zealot with a dangerous sense of nuclear-powered divine mission.
Ahmadinejad is motivated to empower pan-Islam into a grand crusading uprising in his effort to prepare the world for the return of his messiah. He is convinced the Mahdi will return to the soil of the nation from which he believes the new millennium will dawn: ancient Persia—Iran. To achieve that end, he certainly has the mentality that would lead him to sacrifice that which he regarded as an inferior Shiite icon, the Golden Mosque in Iraq, to raise the profile of his icon, Jamkaran in Iran, and in the process, pitch Muslim against Muslim in Iraq to achieve his perverse and demented goals.
The blowing up of the Golden Mosque has all
the hallmarks of such a devious mind being behind it.
