Excellent articles cabo35. Scary stuff. Mahmoud Ahmadinjad doesn't speak in a secret code, or mince his words when he speaks about his Shiite religious beliefs. It is a code they live by. Their lives are centered around the coming of the Islamic Messiah known as the “Twelfth Imam” or the “Mahdi."

Ahmadinjad ends his speeches by praying for Allah to hasten the coming of “the Promised One,” the Islamic Messiah also known as the “Twelfth Imam” or the “Mahdi.”

It is not a secret that this leader of a country who may even now hold nuclear powers believes the end of the world is quickly approaching and the way to hasten the coming of the Messiah is to launch a global jihad to annihilate Israel and the United States.

Ahmadinjad says he has contact with the Mahdi through prayers and he believes the Mahdi is giving him special instruction to prepare Islam for his arrival and the apocalyptic war to annihilate Judeo-Christian civilization.

Of course, Obama's background is based on the Kenyan Muslim sect Sunnis which is comprised of about 90 percent of the world's Muslims. Ironically, the same religion of Osama Bin Ladin.

To put it as simple as I can, with my limited reading and understanding of the subject, the Iranian Shiite Muslims believe the Mahdi was here on earth and disappeared. They are waiting on his second coming. The Sunnis Muslims(Obama's father's religion and the religion of his mother, are also waiting on the coming of the Mahdi, but it will be the first coming of this savior of Islam.

Not trying to be controversial or throw out conspiracy theories. Just the facts. I guess Obama could explain it better than I.
