In my opinion, we'd be fools not to take this stuff seriously. Don't panic, but don't be blase' about it, either.

Check out the posts on this forum, particularly the ones from "Raashid".

I take the issue seriously, just not Farah. He gets it wrong more than he gets it right.
He's reporting the possibility, and his facts are correct. Like I said, I appreciate his willingness to throw it out there, and I'm sure he hopes he's wrong in this case.
But according to their propaganda, we're slaughtering their populations anyway. Of course Saddam, who killed perhaps millions of Muslims, is a martyr and a victim too.
I doubt that AQ will be able to pull this off exactly on the astrological event, and I don't get very excited whenever I read another "date-theory" plot possibility. However, I think the article reminds us of the important facet that it's only a matter of time, and every liberal is another potential minute wasted.
Agreed, pulling off an attack like this, nukes concurrently detonated in several cities, would be difficult.
Here's some info on the Mahdi:

Understood.
All must read this !!!

Seems the Sunni and the Shia are still arguing over who/when the Mahdi is to be. The following is an excerpt which would suggest the Lunar and solar eclipse during ramadan are attributed to Ali.
http://www.irshad.org/islam/prophecy/mahdi.htm
The following narration has not been attributed to the Holy Prophet(SAW). It has been identified as false and has been rejected by Muslim scholars for centuries.
Amr son of Shamer quoted Jabir, who quoted Mohammed bin Ali to have said:
For our Mahdi, there are two signs. Since the birth of Universe, these events have never taken place. Those two signs are that there will be Lunar Eclipse on the first night of Ramadhan and Solar Eclipse in the middle of Ramadhan.
(Dar-e-Qatni, Vol. 1, P.188)
Note:
This narration is not attributed to holy Prophet(SAW), but attributed to Mohammed bin Ali. No other person has substantiated this statement attributed to Mohammed bin Ali.
Muslim scholars have always rejected this and other narrations of Amr and Jabir, as both have been known to transmit unreliable and forged narrations.

I just posted this article. There's so much convergent and diverse info, I thought I'd ping you to update any relevant thread roundups you may have going.
In other words, Osama being a Sunni, would hardly act upon the prophecy of Ali, a hated and despised Shia.
Would he?
Oh well. I suppose when it's all said and done, they are all trying to please the same allah.
Thanks, I had not seen it yet- looking now...
That's interesting. You study Islam quite a bit I take it? Check out the article I just linked above in post 17 and let me know what you think.
