| Nasrallah Denies Hizbullah Fighting in Syria Linked to Mahdi Prophecies | |

... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... chief His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb... on Sunday stressed that his party's military intervention in Syria has nothing to do with esoteric end days prophecies about the return of Imam Mahdi. "We are fighting in Syria to prevent American, Zionist and takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who most be killed... hegemony," Nasrallah said in a largely religious speech marking the eighth night of Ashura. The televised address focused on the issue of Imam Mahdi, who in Islamic eschatology is the prophesied redeemer of Islam who will rule for seven, nine, or nineteen years before the Day of Judgment and will rid the world of evil. "We do not need a religious justification to fight in Syria and we're not fighting to implement the signs which narrations say would pave the ground for the emergence" of Imam Mahdi, said Nasrallah. "We are rather fighting to defend Leb and the region and to prevent a repetition of what (Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... chief) His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us... did against the Iraqi Albu Nimr tribe," added Nasrallah, referring to a fresh wave of mass killings by the IS turban group in Iraq's Anbar province. Hizbullah's chief warned that "linking everything that is happening to the 'signs of emergence' has dangerous cultural and ideological repercussions, which can only lead to aberration." Interest in Mahdi and end day prophecies increased among the ranks of some Shiites and Hizbullah supporters after the group sent thousands of fighters into neighboring Syria. There is no explicit reference to the Mahdi in the Koran, but references to him are found in hadith -- the reports and traditions of Prophet Mohammed's teachings that were collected after his death. Differences exist in the concept of the Mahdi between Sunni Moslems and adherents of the Shiite tradition. For Sunnis, the Mahdi is Mohammed's successor who is yet to come. For most Shiite Moslems, the Mahdi was born but disappeared and will remain hidden from humanity until he reappears to bring justice to the world. For Twelver Shiites, this "hidden Imam" is Mohammed al-Mahdi, the Twelfth Imam. | |
