We need to pray.........
Uh - huh....someone wake me when it’s time to panic.
“cheetah” or Cheater?
Nice burn, you sly fox, you.
Yeah, who would have expected a 90 year old guy to croak? Mahdi called it!
“Though this Islamic prophecy itself is nonsensical, belief in it by many zealous Shiites is potentially significant.”
Islam explained in one sentence.
Well, saying he WOULD die was not the significant part of the prophesy. It is that part saying WHAT WOULD HAPPEN after he died that some Shias think is significant.
Stupid Saudis, stop naming your boys Abdullah, and this won’t happen!
They believe they will usher in their new age if they engage the Great Satan in a fight they should not be able to win.
MAD (mutually assured destruction) does not apply to Iran, and our State Department is so secular that they routinely discount any sincere religious belief that may motivate the Iranians. Fools. Because we Americans generally aren't religious, we cannot comprehend those who are motivated by it.
More correctly, our leaders aren't religious, they're secular. And that secular thinking underestimates the sincerity of belief the Other Side possesses in pursuit of its goals. We're all gonna die because of miscalculation.
I vote for a pre-emptive strike on Iran. All those in favor?
This right here is some sharp analysis. Thank you for chiming in on this, Mr. Sauron.
Wake up.
It's 1938...all over again. This time, with added nuclear heat.
So we’re going to guess that a prophecy is being fulfilled because some guy named “Abdullah” died. The problem is that some guy named Abdullah dies probably every 3 seconds.
Eschatologists always think things fulfilled some prophecy or other, yet here we are. Only eschatologists wake up to a sun shining beautiful day and are disappointed.
Yeah, more like “[e]’scatology’ “
Well, he had to be a KING of Saudi Arabia, and he had to come just after another king “carrying the name of an animal,” which King Abdulla did.
I say, for the funeral we scrub James Taylor and turn Drunk Joe Biden loose
