Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claims the United States is attempting to thwart the return of mankind’s savior, according to reports from Al Arabiya, a television news station based in Dubai.
Ahmadinejad reportedly claims he has documented evidence that the U.S. is blocking the return of Mahdi, the Imam believed by Muslims to be the savior.
“We have documented proof that they believe that a descendant of the prophet of Islam will raise in these parts and he will dry the roots of all injustice in the world,” Ahmadinejad said during a speech on Monday, according to Al Arabiya.
“They have devised all these plans to prevent the coming of the Hidden Imam because they know that the Iranian nation is the one that will prepare the grounds for his coming and will be the supporters of his rule.”
As frighteningly ridiculous as his words are, what is more frightening is that I agree with this madman on his next point.
“In Afghanistan, they are caught like an animal in a quagmire. But instead of pulling their troops out to save themselves, they are deploying more soldiers. Even if they stay in Afghanistan for another 50 years they will be forced to leave with disgrace — because this is a historical experience.”
I fear he is right.

“…to terrorists, I say, we will hunt you down…to the broader Muslim world what we will offer is a hand of friendship.”
Those words were spoken by the President of the United States…a refreshing change in tone and intelligence of which we have not heard for the last 8 years.
Yesterday, President Obama conducted an interview with Al-Arabiya , an Arabic news channel. In a coherent, articulate and pragmatic 17 minute interview, President Obama laid out his administration’s new approach to the Middle East conflict and dealings with the Muslim world. While speaking of being decisive in going after terrorists he spoke also of mutual respect in regards to US-Muslim world relations. Obama demonstrated clearly that he understood that Islamic fundamentalist terrorism does not equate to Islam in general. He stated he understood that the vast majority of Muslims are simply seeking to live better lives and that the new dialogue must be a “language of respect“. President Obama’s message was that promotion of US interests while listening to concerns from the Muslim world need not be mutually exclusive.
If any approach can stop the complete demonetization of America by Muslims, I need to believe it will be Obama’s approach. We have finally emerged from the swampland of ignorance which have marked the Bush years.
