Ahmadinejad: US is after Hidden Imam
2015-06-23
Former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused the United States of seeking to apprehend the Hidden Imam, who according to Shi'ite belief vanished in the 10th century and will reappear in the end of days as the ultimate savior of humankind.

Speaking on Sunday to clerics at a speech marking the beginning of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan, Ahmadinejad claimed that members of US academic institutions were engaged in tedious studies aimed at locating the Imam, Radio Free Europe reported.

"They've done so much research about the Hidden Imam in the human science universities of the United States that I am not exaggerating by saying that it is a thousand times more than all the work done in the seminaries of Qom, Najaf, and Mashhad," he said, referring to three Shiite holy cities, according to a transcript posted on the website Dolatebahar.com and translated by Radio Free Europe.

"To quote a friend, they've completed a case against the Hidden Imam, and closed it also for his arrest... the only [evidence] they lack is his picture," he added.

Ahmadinejad went on to assert that the US was concerned the Hidden Imam would pose a threat to its "empire" as well as to its "evil" plans.

"It is really a government established by Satan to prevent reaching God and the Hidden Imam," Ahmadinejad said. "This evil government knows that its end will come if the Hidden Imam reappears."

The former president conceded that "some in Iran laugh about these comments," and indeed, following the speech, the country's leading reformist daily newspaper, Shargh, described his musings as "strange."

* WORLD NEWS > [Daily Beast] HOW ISIS' "ATTACK AMERICA" [Social Media] PLAN IS WORKING | THE ISIS' "ATTACK AMERICA" PLAN IS WORKING.

'Tis doing-n-achievin' mighty fine results thus far.

* SAME > [Independent.UK] WE CAN'T DESTROY ISIS, WE HAVE TO LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT.

Yuuup, live alongside the ISIS Caliphate [Nuclear?] + Islamic Madhi/Messiah/Imam = Muslim Napoleon by mid-Century.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!?

#18  Every Lib-supported Alternatist or Sub-Cultural agenda that becomes law is a point in favor of future LEGAL SHARIA + OTHER in Amerika.

HOW CAN LEGAL SHARIA + OTHER BE DENIED WHEN SECULARIST MARXIST-SOCIALISTS + ETAL. ALIGNED WILL LIKELY ALL BUT OFFICIALLY MAKE IT LAW IN THE US???

* E.G. FYI RUSSIA TODAY [old = repost] > CHURCH OF ENGLAND IN CRISIS AS UK SEES MORE ATHEISTS, MUSLIMS, STUDY SAYS.

The Church of England comprises roughly only 17% of the UK's tote Population, wid over 1/2 of the UK Population ascribing themselves as either Atheist, or Uncaring about any particular Religion or Belief.

VERSUS

* TOPIX, BIGNEWSNETWORK > "LACK OF BELONGING" DRAWS MUSLIM YOUTH TO ISIS.

* WORLD NEWS > EXTREMIST/AAUSTERE ISLAM ON THE RISE IN THE UK, STIRRING CONCERN.

Human beings are highly "spiritual" - as Western or World Christianity commits self-suicide in the name of pervasive or "Universal" Secularism, where God is second-fiddle or tertiary to Atheism + Intellectual Scientifism, THE SAME MAY FIND ITSELF MOSTLY OR WHOLLY SUPPLANTED BY ISLAM OR RADICAL ISLAM AS A MEANS OF FINDING ONE'S INNER SPIRITUALITY + FAITH = ONE'S PATH TO GOD.

Iff it isn't Islam, it will likely be variant of BUDDHISM.

Lest we fergit, NET = THE RISE OF THE FIRST ISLAMO-BUDDHIST CHURCH [+ Movement] IN THE US.

THE HIDDEN IMAM/ISLAMIC MESSIAH WILL RISE BECAUSE US-WORLD JUDEOCHRISTIANITY COMMITTED SELF- SUICIDE OR SELF-RETREATED LIKE ANTI-US US GLOBALIST POTUS OBAMA + EX-SOLE-SUPERPOWER-SOON-TO-BE-CO-SUPERPOWER AMERIKA.

TRADITIONAL ISLAM IS THE "FIRE", INCREASINGLY SECULAR-ATHEIST-SCIENTIFIST JUDEOCHRISTIANITY IS THE DYING "SIMMER".

Put another way, STAR TREK:TNG > LT. WORF = "THE WARRIORS OF THE KLINGON EMPIRE ARE HUNGRY FOR SPIRITUAL RENEWAL", BUT THE FEDERATION ISN'T IT.

#16  Bugger off! Find the Hidden Imam on your own. We'll all be dead soon, it really doesn't matter.

#15  Hell, Muhammad ibn Hasan al-MahdÄ« already lives behind us with a buddy of his. Keeps his lawn mowed and trash picked up. Does some gardening and reads a lot.

His fiend 'Elvis' makes good fried chicken and a mean peanut butter with banana sandwich. al-Mahdi mostly just roasts a goat or two. Pretty much they just keep to themselves.

The late-night ululating rockabilly music does get on our nerves sometimes, though.

With this administration, it'd be more likely them offering him a SES position or a slot on the NSC.


Hiring bonus? Relocation allowance?

#13  Sounds like time for a new video game: Whack an Imam !

Super Mahmoud could run around, rolling his eyes and gnashing his teeth, to provide interference to the first-person whacker.

#2  If the Shi'ites' Hidden Imam, their Magic Mullah, is all he's cracked up to be, I doubt he has anything to fear from America under Obumble's leadership.

As for Ahmadinejad, why in the world we didn't pop that evil, grinning little Death Dwarf years ago is beyond me. Crazy little fucker...
