Man claiming to be Muslim messiah shot by Hamas

A man claiming to be the Mahdi, the promised redeemer of Islam, approached a leading imam in Gaza on Tuesday and insisted that local Muslims begin obeying his instructions.

The Bethlehem-based Ma'an News Agency reported that the enraged imam immediately called for the assistance of Hamas security forces, who demanded that the man recant his claim.

When the self-proclaimed Mahdi refused, the Hamas gunmen shot the man's feet and then released him.

I can’t stop laughing at the title of this article. I’m sorry, I know that is wrong; but that title has me cracking up!

WOW.... Here in America, whenever someone approaches me, and claims to be the Messiah, I usually just let him squeegee my windshield and give him a couple of dollars. And my daughter tels me I'm intolerant.....

Does the Koran say to shoot people claiming to be the Mahdi in the feet? or is it Ask the Imam?

Of course the liberal will say that Christians also shoot people claiming to be the Messiah, and not to criticize Islam.

You’re not the only one! I laughed even harder when I read the part that Hamas shot him in the feet and released him!

It might be wrong to laugh at this, but it’s wrong in a good way!

I’m picturing that scene in Miss Congeniality where Sandra Bullock says “Vic is gonna kill you. You in big trouble!”

If this guy really is the Mahdi, Hamas is in big trouble.

LOL!!! This reminds me of the aftermath of Waco. Comedian Pat Cooper said that if David Koresh rose out of the rubble in three days we'd all be in trouble.
