You posted “Iran’s theocratic leaders believe that they cannot win a war with the USA, but that they must prove to their moon god that they are willing to try hard enough so that he will favor them and give them his support.
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.”
My reply:
It’s interesting the way socialists approach theological concepts but when it comes to Islam they are not the only ones who refuse to approach the issue. That even includes leading Christian clergy including Pope Francis.
Followers of Mohammed not only claim, but truly believe that God has authorized them to kill those who refuse to submit to their version of God’s will. That is a basic tenet of that religion. A claim which goes unchallanged. While it’s understandable for atheists which most socialists are, not to approach that claim on a theological basis. It’s bewildering why any Christian clergy refuse to admit it even exists and is a basic part of Islam creed and worse yet are unable to condem it.
The Koran and its enforcement of sharia law is a pseudo religious concoction using monotheistic selected texts, taken and misconstrued from the new and old testaments. Both of which cite the Almighty has granted free will to accept or obey his laws and is the final judge not man. Sodom and Gahmora is a glaring example.
Yet followers of Mohammed under the severest of penalties are forbidden to read either which would refute that assertion in a creed which institutionalizes disgusting arab tribal views, observances,and customs. Claiming adhearants are authorized by our Creator to demand submission to it or suffer an ignominious death administered by followers of Islam.

Just cover up all of the wells. The the Mahdi cannot get out.
I am in. Just for the “hell” of it.
King Abdullah’s death certainly fulfilled King Abdullah’s end times prophecy.
Isn’t the Turd in currently occupying the white House indication enough of the end of times? There a little late to the game!
Yes it’s time for all Muslims to meet their maker. Suicide for all I say. Anyone who does not is not a true believer and will die 1,000 X 1,000 deaths each more painful than the last. So go now and do yourself in before Heaven runs out of virgins.
I was on this topic on another FR thread yesterday.

A few years back the then Iranian leader, Imadinnerjacket (or whatever)commissioned the release of a film about the 12th Imam for his Iranian audience.
It is important to note that the accuracy of the content of the film is not important. What is important is that there are people in the ME that believe it is true.
A few of the conditions necessary for the 12th Imam to arrive are the death of the Saudi King, the revolution in Yemen to name just two.

Is Barack Obama the “promised warrior” coming to help the Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world?

According to the tradition, Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the prophet’s cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the Ultimate Saviour, a “tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West.” Commanding “the strongest army on earth,” the new ruler in the West will carry “a clear sign” from the third imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali. The tradition concludes: “Shiites should have no doubt that he is with us.”
In a curious coincidence Obama’s first and second names–Barack Hussein–mean “the blessing of Hussein” in Arabic and Persian. His family name, Obama, written in the Persian alphabet, reads O Ba Ma, which means “he is with us,” the magic formula in Majlisi’s tradition.

Obama also bears the name of an animal. Baraq was the name of Mohammed’s magic flying white horse. Make of that what you will.

Yep.
Allah = Satan.
No doubt that is part of the naive Infidel's problem.
When you see young healthy,educated and relatively wealthy men giving up their lives in suicide missions on 9-11 shouting as their last words "Allahu Akbar!", you know it is religiously driven.
It takes time for that to sink in to us Infidels. - Tom
.......”Secular thinking underestimates the sincerity of belief the Other Side possesses in pursuit of its goals’....
I agree very much with that statement.
I recently listened to an Ex-Hizbollah’s testimony....Having listened to many others along the way and not giving me any further understanding of why they do what they do, it never came across to me they were more than carbon copies with scripted responses where they didn’t even appear to know why they do what they do except they were told to.
.........until I listened to this particular individuals testimony....who spoke with passion and truely how he believed, and certainly sincerely dedicated in heart and mind to Islam and serving his God wholeheartedly.
Though he came to know the love of Jesus Christ while alone with him, his details of how he came to Christ revealed ‘distinct beliefs’ not often expressed nor revealed by most Muslims of the strength and reason for why they believe as they do.
This man not only understood Gods forgiveness, he also knew then that Islam had deceived him in every way. ..which was a crushing blow for one so dedicated, and even taught Islam.
It has been said those who are forgiven much, love the Lord equal to that. In this man you could see disticntly that very thing.....he knew Islam...He knew thereafter the Lord....and even after 18 yrs. when Jesus forgave him for the atrocities he commited he remains tearful when speaking of.
It is those moments when you see his pain that he was so deceived by Islam and was truly , as he said ‘a wicked man’ next to the Holyness of God....that you better understand why they do what they do....and why for some Jesus personally visits them as He does.
I will leave his video which is about 15 minutes long....it was an enormous eye opener to me of the hold that Islam has on the hearts and minds of the truly devoted Muslim...ready to blow himself up for God and do all kinds of killing and believe he’s called to do so...and rejoice for it.
It is truly a revealing video.
