Fearless Leader: World awaits Savior's return

2008-08-23

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution says the world awaits the return of Imam Mahdi to rescue mankind from injustice and prejudice.
I, for one, have a mullet under my tongue. I await him with baited breath.
Speaking on the birth anniversary of the 12th Shia Imam on Sunday, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said the return of Imam Mahdi would herald the rule of justice in the world. Even a nation like Iran who has established the rule of justice is subject to pressure and bullying by the world powers, a fact that indicates the world is full of injustice, the leader said.

Imam Mahdi, known as the Savior, was born almost 1,300 years ago on the fifteenth of Sha'ban, the eighth month of the lunar calendar.
As of this writing, he remains deader than a rock.

#16 Wait, is this the guy who has been occluded (whatever that means) in a well for 1,300 years?
Wow, you'd think by now there would be real complexion problems with wrinkled skin from centuries of immersion? Can you focus on justice and peace after bveing wet that long? What about the smell? Guy might be a little ripe?

#8 Speaking on the birth anniversary of the 12th Shia Imam on Sunday, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei

So if Khamenei had read Wednesdays Rantburg he might have spotted this

"Celebrating birthdays and wedding anniversaries has no base in Islam, Saudi Arabia's Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Alsheikh has said."

#1 SETTING STAGE FOR DECISIVE/FINAL BATTLE 2008-2012 [2016] Post-Dubya Period, ala US TROOPS OUT OF IRAQ NLT 2011???

Again, something is very wrong inside Radical Islam iff still can't mil win in Iraq + Afghanistan-Pakis even when the USA unilaterally asymmetrically downsizes or withdraws unto Radical Islam's own tactical advantage, EVEN WID NUCLEAR IRAN/ISLAMISM! The true IMAM-MAHDI Shouldn't need any Nukes to defeat or destroy an Infidel Army times larger than his own.
