AUTiger1 0 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Ahmadinejad says Israel will soon disappear Jun 2 08:43 AM US/Eastern Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad predicted on Monday that Muslims would uproot "satanic powers" and repeated his controversial belief that Israel will soon disappear, the Mehr news agency reported. "I must announce that the Zionist regime (Israel), with a 60-year record of genocide, plunder, invasion and betrayal is about to die and will soon be erased from the geographical scene," he said. "Today, the time for the fall of the satanic power of the United States has come and the countdown to the annihilation of the emperor of power and wealth has started." Since taking the presidency in August 2005, Ahmadinejad has repeatedly provoked international outrage by predicting Israel is doomed to disappear. "I tell you that with the unity and awareness of all the Islamic countries all the satanic powers will soon be destroyed," he said to a group of foreign visitors ahead of the 19th anniversary of the death of revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Ahmadinejad also again expressed his apocalyptic vision that tyranny in the world be abolished by the return to earth of the Mahdi, the 12th imam of Shiite Islam, alongside great religious figures including Jesus Christ. "With the appearance of the promised saviour... and his companions such as Jesus Christ, tyranny will be soon be eradicated in the world." Ahmadinejad has always been a devotee of the Mahdi, who Shiites believe disappeared more than a thousand years ago and who will return one day to usher in a new era of peace and harmony. His emphasis on the Mahdi has been a cause of controversy inside Iran with critics saying he would be better solving bread-and-butter domestic problems rather than talking about Iran's divine responsibility.

Tigermike 3,055 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Yeah, well. It also looks as if Ahmadinejad is on the outs, too. I was about to say he may very well be gone before Israel. Dang do you think he will be gone before Obama surrenders to him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could find the link, but I read several analyses recently that offer that this guy's outrageous behavior is making him unpopular, even among the mullahs (A practical lot above all).

AUTiger1 0 Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Yeah, well. It also looks as if Ahmadinejad is on the outs, too. True, he very well could be. I think I may have seen the link that you were talking about. This is what I found interesting and thought someone would have hit on: "Today, the time for the fall of the satanic power of the United States has come and the countdown to the annihilation of the emperor of power and wealth has started."Since taking the presidency in August 2005, Ahmadinejad has repeatedly provoked international outrage by predicting Israel is doomed to disappear. The US, the satanic power, the empire of power and wealth? Of course he has said enough in the past that this is not uncommon. Outrage? Really, from whom?

autigeremt 6,717 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 He's just speaking the truth from the eyes of Imams......but they are not happy to tell all about it. He's a puppet as we all know, and his time is near. Another hate filled dragon will come along to fill the media with quotes as Iran continues on it's destiny with Jericho.
