7 Reasons Iran is an International Menace

The Islamic Republic of Iran is run by evil megalomaniacs, starting with the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. They are intent on hastening the arrival of the 12th Imam, the latest in the succession of imams believed  by some Islamic Shiite fundamentalists to be the direct descendants of Prophet Muhammad and the carriers of his message on earth.

The 12th Imam, named  Muhammad al-Mahdi, is said to have been born in present-day Iraq in 869 AD and is still alive, waiting to come out of hiding at the appropriate time.  Hence, his alternative name: the Hidden Iman.

Apparently this Imam ventured into a cave at a young age, hidden by the Gate of Occultation. Once al-Mahdi emerges, there will be peace in the world with Islamic justice becoming the ruling system across the globe.

There are  just two catches.  First, since Khamenei and Ahmadinejad believe that they are the 12th Imam's advance scouts, so to speak, any opposition to their rule is considered heretical interference with the will of Allah and his Prophet Muhammad.  Thus, they justify whatever it will take - beatings, jail, torture, and executions - to stamp out any 'infidel-inspired' dissent.

Second, Al-Mahdi will not grace the world with his presence until there is a bloodbath first.

I think the documentary Iranium makes many valid points.... and is well worth the one hour of viewing. Should be in the school system as required curriculum.

I saw the exerpts and discussions of this on Hannity Friday night and anyone who is not concerned about Iran getting the nuclear ability to unleash a bomb on the “Great Satan” and Israel is in la-la land. The most serious danger to us is the possibility of a nuclear explosion in the atmosphere above our nation which would knock out all electricity, including things like pace makers. This is call an “electromagnetic pulse or EMP,” and would result in 9 out of 10 Americans being dead within one year. It really upsets me sometimes that so many of us are going about our lives as though things are as they always have been during our lifetimes. They are not and we have the worst leadership the US has ever had. The theocratic crazies over there are spending every hour of every day thinking and planning for our destruction. We had better focus on leaders who will put US security first for that is the change we need.

Reason Number One -- they're loons. Reason Number Two -- they're liars.
