Fight the Jews and Vanquish Them so as to Hasten the Coming of the Hidden Imam
The Middle East Media Research Institute:
The official Iranian news agency Fars, which is close to the conservative circles in Iran, recently published a statement by Ayatollah Hossein Nouri-Hamedani, one of the Iranian regime's leading religious authorities, in which he advocates fighting the Jews in order to prepare the ground and to hasten the advent of the Hidden Imam, the Messiah according to Shiite belief.
It should be noted that the Fars news agency took the report off its web site several hours after its publication, and other Iranian media outlets close to the conservatives refrained from citing it.The following is the text of Ayatollah Nouri-Hamedani's censored statements, which appeared in identical language on two internet sites: Peykeiran, a site close to the anti-regime communist left; and Asylum-Norway, an internet site belonging to an organization that supports Iranian refugees in Norway: [1]
Prior to the Advent of the Hidden Imam, Arrogance and Colonialism Rule the World
"Fars news agency: Ayatollah Nouri-Hamedani, discussing [Shi'ite] religious texts, said: 'One should fight the Jews and vanquish them so that the conditions for the advent of the Hidden Imam be met.' According to the Fars news agency's report, Ayatollah Nouri-Hamedani met with members of the Mahdaviyat Studies Institute. [2] He praised the institute's work and demanded that the religious seminaries in Qom also do more to research religious texts and hadith concerning the Hidden Imam...
"Nouri-Hamedani said that the texts concerning the end of days are rife with allusions and hidden meanings. He asked the researchers to devote their efforts to elucidating these texts. He noted: 'In the texts it is told that the Hidden Imam will remove the yoke of humiliation from mankind's neck. Therefore it is clear that prior to the advent of the Hidden Imam, Arrogance [a common epithet for Western powers, especially the U.S.A.] and colonialism rule the world.'
The Jews Have Hoarded All the Wealth in One Place, and All the World are Their Slaves
"According to this religious authority, 'at present the Jews' policies threaten us. One should explain in the clearest terms the danger the Jews pose to the [Iranian] peopleand to the Muslims. Ever since Islam's appearance, the group that expressed fierce opposition to Islam – and still acts in this fashion – were the Jews. They were involved in the Khaybar, Uhud, and Ahzab wars.' [3] He added: 'Already from the beginning the Jews wanted to hoard the world's goods in [their] greed and voracity. They always worked in important professions and now they have hoarded all of the wealth in one place. And all of the world, especially America and Europe, are their slaves.'"
Crazy Ideas Such as Secularism, Liberalism, and Humanism are Part of Our Enemies' Plans to Sow Disunity
In another statement from last year, Ayatollah Nouri-Hamedani, on the occasion of his visit to the cities of Khoramshahr and Shalamche, said: "World Arrogance [i.e., the U.S. and the Western powers] is creating a trinity of evil: heresy, divisiveness, and Zionism, in order to weaken the [Iranian] people's spirit and to create division and disagreement with respect to our regime. [Therefore] all of the senior officials and the public must be on their guard more than ever…
"The spreading of prostitution and evil things, the creation of a mentality of inferiority, and the propagation of crazy ideas such as secularism, liberalism, and humanism are [all] part of our enemies' plans to sow disunity in [our] society...
"The revelation of the culture of Jihad and martyrdom in the country [Iran] struck world Arrogance [i.e., the U.S. and the Western powers] with dread... The existence of such a spirit among our youth led to world Arrogance's not daring to infringe on our borders... History shows that every people that lost the culture of Jihad and martyrdom were brought down." [4]

[2] Mahdaviyat studies are concerning the Shiite doctrine of the Hidden Imam, who is to reappear as Mahdi, i.e., the rightly guided one.
[3] These refer to famous victories of the Muslims under the leadership of Prophet Mohammad: The Battle of Khaybar took place in 628 A.D., the Battle of Uhud in 625 A.D., and the war of the Ahzab refers to the siege of Al-Madina in 627 A.D.

Sounds like all the big boys in the current regime are wearing their tin foil hats.
To divert attention from their own hellish, miserable, failed belief system, blame the jews.
The Hidden Imam = The Great Pumpkin
They are looking for the Messiah to come... oops,,,wasn't who you were looking for... and he originally was Jewish. Won't that be a BIG surprise.
Maybe they should get together with the Jehovah's Witnesses.
Shouldn't we send the above statement to George Soros, Michael Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Martin Sheen, Janeane Garafalo, Babs Streisand, plus the other secular, liberal, humanistic snakes below?....They should be forewarned that the Iranian mullahs are gunning for THEM first and foremost. Alas, the snakes are asleep...
Mad mullahs..

Mullahs hate Liberal Democracies a lot! They think that Liberal Democracies will ruin their foundations of ruling people which is true. Western Liberal Democracy is poison for the Mullahs.
The Imam's not hiding, he's just in the bathroom.
Iranian Shi'ite mullahs in control of offensive nuclear weapons is not a good combination.
Exactly. Cover up their lack of brains, initiative, work ethic, and stupidity with even more stupidity.
BTW!!! Great info on your blog. For those who didn't notice, check this item out:
A paper circulating among defence thinktanks and non-government organisations says that a detailed Pentagon plan for military strikes on Iran could be presented to Mr Bush in June this year. "There is impatience in Washington with the European diplomatic initiative and some analysts have even predicted a strike on Iran within 18 months," Sir Menzies said yesterday.
