A Battle For Control Of Heart and Mind of Islamic “Man in the Street”
Is Now Being Waged Between the Sunni of Turkey & Shiite of Iran,
But Both of Their Minds & Hearts will be Controlled Briefly by God,
Making Both Clay & Iron to Bond & Do according to His Purpose,
While He Watches Over a Jewish Remnant of some Two Million
For Some Three and one-half Years in the Negev Wilderness!

Daniel 7:24,25 – And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
[25] And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Revelation 17:12,13 – And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
[13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto
the beast.
Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Revelation 12:17 – And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war
with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Who Will Win the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Arab Street: Turkey or Iran
?
December 16, 2010
By Harold Rhode (Institute for Contemporary Affairs-Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs)
Shiite Iran is appealing to the Arab Sunni street by trying to co-opt the agenda of the Sunni masses – the existence of Israel and the sanctity of Jerusalem – neither of which are traditional
Shiite issues. In doing so, Iran seeks to undermine the existing Arab Sunni regimes by going over the heads of their leaders.
That is why almost all of the regimes in the region hate the Iranian regime more than they hate Israel.
Jerusalem does not matter for traditional Shiites. They see the city’s sanctification as a Sunni innovation and therefore summarily reject it. In the late 680s CE, 55 years after Muhammad’s death, the Sunni Umayyad rulers of Damascus built a dome over the Rock on the Temple Mount as a way to help smother a local revolt in Mecca. The Umayyads were afraid that people who made the pilgrimage to Mecca would join the rebels’ cause, so they blocked pilgrims from going to Mecca and turned the Temple Mount into an alternative pilgrimage site.
Some Shiite Grand Ayatollahs even have argued that Jerusalem was given to the children of Isaac, while Ishmael, Abraham’s older son, received Najaf, which is in Iraq. In other words, from a Shiite perspective, Jerusalem is a Sunni heresy.
It appears that the Saudis and the present Turkish government are both interested in reestablishing the Caliphate – certainly culturally and probably eventually politically – most likely in the capital of the last great Sunni empire in modern times: Istanbul.
The Turkish government claims that there is no Wahhabi money going into Turkey.
Maybe so, but gorgeous, expensive mosques are being built in Turkey’s poor, small villages.
The locals obviously do not have the money for this.
While many Turks supported the Gaza flotilla terrorists, many others wonder why Arab Egypt – which also blockades Hamas-controlled Gaza – and the oil-rich Arab countries with limitless financial resources have not taken care of the humanitarian needs of the people of Gaza.
Why should Turkey, they reason, be more concerned about the Arabs than the
Arabs themselves?
