Why do Bushating liberals refuse to believe Ahmadinejad wants to bring about the Apocalypse?

Question

http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1535224-2,00.html

"President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad adores the Twelfth Imam, and has dedicated much of his public speeches to pleading for his return, and expounding on the importance of preparing for it. He invokes the Mahdi so frequently, is so suggestive of his own divine guidance, that the ordinary, devout Iranian could be easily made to think the two enjoy a special connection."

"Last month Ahmadinejad said publicly that the main mission of the Islamic Revolution is to pave the way for the ... Twelfth Imam."

Are people blinded so much that they can do nothing else but scream about Bush "having a messiah complex and wanting to start WW3?" Sounds to me like they just hate the fact that he's a Christian and not ashamed of it. Or maybe they think he'll spit on their precious church/state myth.

God almighty. There's just no reasoning with them!

@open your eyes: You've been reported. Get the heck out of here.

@skycat: I don't believe they're being destroyed, you're entitled to your opinion though.

@here to help: "wanting to and being able to are different" ... fair enough.

@Chino: Israel has never been controlled by murderous whack jobs that have evidenced a wish to bring about the Apocalypse. Plus which, Israel has been a presence in the Middle East for democracy and peace.

Lastly, I happen to believe this:

"And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." - Genesis 12:3.

It's as good a reason to stand by them as any.

@Barry: I know Christians would call this event the Apocalypse. I'm Christian, thus I call it that. But the end of the world, by any name, is still the end of the world.

In the 30s these same type people had a hero named Neville Chamberlain whom went to visit another nut job and came back with a signed treaty of non-aggression and proclaimed he had secured peace in our time. Approximately 1 month later the invasion of Sudetenland began 1 year later Poland was invaded and World War 2 began.

Now we have another nut talking the same trash and a bunch of self proclaimed intellectuals saying he doesn't mean it.

Personally I try to remember the statement of the guy that had to try clean up the mess made by Chamberlain.

Trying to appease a tyrant is like feeding your neighbors to an alligator one at the time hoping he eats you last.
In the end he will inevitably eat you.

Answer 2

Obama does no longer have the authority to waive the Jones Act immediately; in basic terms Congress does. besides, if a union stood to earnings, it would be a nonexistent union. In different words, Obama wasn't the component to touch for soliciting for a waiver, it relatively is the job of Mary Landrieu and David Vitter---the residing house state Senators for Louisiana---to accomplish that by skill of introducing a bill that would desire to specifically waive the Jones Act. As for Bush, he worked below a various version that grew to become into repealed the subsequent 3 hundred and sixty 5 days; the replace is the single of immediately. the reality that the Jones Act grew to become into replaced between Katrina and now's what makes John Fund incorrect.

Answer 3

I don't think you will appreciate this sincere answer, but maybe some toher readers will, so I will post it inthe hiope that you and they both get it.

Well, let's just look at your question from one point of view.

The Apocolypse is a Christian construct - Jews don't believe in it, Muslims don't, nor do Buddhists or Taoist or anyone else but Christians.

I think we can all agree with that, right?

So why would anyone believe that Ahmadinejad is not wanting to bring about the Apocolypse?

Easy - he is not Christian, so he doesn't believe in the Scriptures that define it.

In order for him to cause it, he would have to agree with it, and for that he would have to become Christian.

Are you making the claim that he is not Muslim but in fact Christian?

Now he may or may not be interested in causing harm to Christians, and he may or may not be capable of doing that.

But it is only Christians that would call any event at all the Apocolypse.

Can you understand that by labeling something that, it is a loud and clear signal for non-Christians in the US and around the world that it is an internal Christian theological matter and of no interest whatsoever to anyone else not interested in those itnernal debates?

For instance, if I talked about boys having a rite of passage at age 13, or a bar mitzvah at age 13, what would be the two different feelings it would evoke in you?

That is what happens to any non-Christians, regardless of their political leanings, when Christians speak about the Apocolypse :)

Quite simply, you have taken what in fact is a foreign polcy matter of interst to all and lowered it to the level of internal theological rhetoric of interest to only some.

Answer 4

To hear this WW III cry from a nation that has a fleet of submarines armed with nuclear weapons plying the oceans of the world is ridiculous. To say nothing of the rest of our nuclear navy. This same fear mongering of Iran building a nuclear weapon as with North Korea is also ridiculous. We have more weapons than the rest of the world combined. If a nation is going to bring about the "Apocalypse" I doubt it will be a nation that has managed to build one bomb. With the wrong people or person in power in the United States we could very well be the nation that brings about total world destruction. We have the power to do it! All it would take is to have the right nut in the presidency.

Answer 5

He does want to end life as we know it but that is no excuse to accept all the new policies, constitutional over sites and other changes that makes the USA the free country it once was. I refuse to believe that by destroying America's founding principals is the only way to conquer such an evil entity. It is all in the name of globalization. These wars run so much deeper then oil.

Have you ever in you life seen the American people voice be so ignored by our own government in so many ways.

You can thank both parties for basically having the same goals for our country. They just have a different way of going about it.

Answer 6

What a loaded bunch of crap question this is...I can just as easily ask you: Why do YOU not believe that Israel and the Zionists also wish to bring about the apocalypse? Is it because you are blinded by Bush and our national stance of being a great ally to Israel?

Same agenda, you just choose to be ignorant enough to believe one piece of propaganda without looking for all of the rest of it thats out there. Keep living in fear.

And props to all the responses citing the history of this region and how our involvement has led to more conflict than anything else.

Answer 7

Who cares what he wants? Do you have ANY understanding of Iranian politics? He's no more than a powerless figure head who can barely say BOO, the Mullahs are the ones with the power there

Answer 8

Liberals have a very difficult time believing things unless it comes from the mouths of their heroes, M&Moore and Hillarity Clinton. Liberals are so twisted in their thinking because of years of rejecting Christians values, American traditions, all things good and holy, that they have no idea who or what to believe.

Answer 9

Those who are so invested in stopping the war in Iraq must just want their heads in the sand when it comes to these things. If Iran can secure "its form" of government over Iraq then nation building has begun. They already influence Lebanon and Syria so that would make 4 of them in the region. Watch for Jordan to be the next to fall.

Answer 10

Wanting to and being able to are different. He is a figurehead that has no power and will be gone in Irans next election. I see no reason to live in fear,that gives those you fear power of you. I don't fear or hate Bush or Ahmadinejad
