needs some major improvement in her general knowledge of Israeli political, social, religious, military and other aspects of life. If your ego will just try to give a chance to your brain to learn and think before producing any statements, maybe you’ll start at least with this quite an objective combining global knowledge site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel

Anna ,   Canada   (11.13.06)
What ever you’ll say it’s just a parrot talk. What else you can put on the Israeli shoulders? Zionists? They did quiet well in the Desert. They taught the world how to grow the forests on the rocks, how to feed hungry with almost nothing and how to satisfy thirsty almost without water. “The destruction and chaos that precedes the Mahdi's arrival is not caused by the hands of his faithful, but the hands of his enemies. In other words, the Iraq War, the war on terror…” The war on terror? Isn’t it a war on TERROR??!!! Ahmadinejad’s speeches in UN are very well recorded. And these speeches are real threat to the stability in the Middle East. There is well-known fact about discriminations in Iran against freedom of speech. And if the Moslem society is accepting Holocaust cartoons, if Islam accepts depravation of man and women of their human rights, your Mahdi is just blood thirsty. Till now Iranian politics by supporting Hisbullah, Syria and Hamas just brought destruction to the peace. By the way there are two kinds of Angels. And you are not the white one.
35. not all the muslims beleive in mahdi...
li   (11.13.06)
just the shiites people who beleive in mahdi...(there are 200 milions of shiites in the world)...and the other muslims(1 billion) didn't beleive in mahdi...most of the people in arabsaudit and syria and palestine and katar and kuwait and jordan and egypt didn't beleive in mahdi.... The people who beleives in mahdi are the iraninan people and hezbollah who represent the shiites in lebanon and 6o%of iraque people and some people of bahrain....for that you see that hezbollah have an exercit who called mahdi and the shiit militia in iraque called mahdi... and yes iran are preparing all that to welcome tha mahdi...they beleive that the iranian's people and hezbollah with mahdi will liberate jerusalem and will try to make peace in all the world...
36. The Iranian Prez is a NUT!!
Jellybean ,   Chicago   (11.13.06)
I mean this guy is a real nut how he is still in office is beyond me. Does he have any respect for human life? does he not realize that if he launches a nuke that Israel or the US can launch one at him? This guy needs some counseling and medication!
37. the Mahdi
observer ,   New Mexico, USA   (11.13.06)
The Mahdi has already arrived... he looked around, didn't like what he saw, spit on the ground, and went into permanent retirement. Smart guy, that Mahdi. How do I know this? I read it on the internet. Where can you find it? Scroll up.

fadia ,   jerusalem   (11.13.06)
any one can talk to god ..sure god listen to all ,,but god talk to mosa only ,..about almahdi ,i read a lot for interest only ..but sure no one can know the future ,what will happen or when ..as a people we are responsible of our doing only ...when furoah asked mosa about the anchant people ..mosa said ..god will know and judge them ..it is about the anchant ..how it will be about the coming nation ...so the futur is in god hands not in any even if this mahdi will be a fact mi think he will not be evil to kill all the people ,, sure killing children and women are evil not more than evil

44. Imam Mahdi vs. Christ
Jack ,   USA   (11.13.06)
There are striking similarities between the Islamic texts regarding the Imam Mahdi and Biblical descriptions of the anti-christ. Imam Mahdi will rule for seven years. Anti-christ will rule for seven years. Both say that Jesus will return at the end of the seven year period. Both say there will be wars, political upheaval and terrible natural disasters before and during this time. There will be a confederation of 10 nations aligned against Israel. The Islamic texts say that the Imam will over throw two of these nations to obtain ultimate world control. The Bible says three nations will be over thrown. (This is the only real difference that I have found in the two texts.) The Islamic text has the Imam coming from the direct lineage of their great prophet (Shite). The Bible says there will be a great battle at the end of the seven year period in which the anti-christ and his followers will be thrown into Hell. Both say there will be a 1000 year period of peace and harmony following the reappearance of Jesus. The Imam will not be around during this period; Jesus will rule the earth during this period. Islam will have many victories in the near future; most small, some great. Christians will not be spared tribulations. They will be spared “tribulation the great” but not tribulations. We will be tested. There are more additions and similarities. The Islamic writings also name him, his parents names, give a physical description of him and the location of where he can be found at the time. Below are a couple of the websites to start with, there are many more. Please do your own research, obtain a one to one relationship with G_d and allow him to show you the truth. http://www.islam.tc/prophecies/imam.html http://www.irshad.org/islam/prophecy/mahdi.htm

Rustum ,   London, UK   (11.13.06)
"Terrorist cults have no messiah" - yet more wisdom from the Santa Monica racist. Is not your beloved state, in which you refuse to live, an embodiment of an apocalyptic vision? The whole hypocritical debate about what the Iranian shiites believe is just one more example of good Ziono anti-Islamic rubbish. As if there is no messiah in Judaism, as if there are not thousands of people wandering around Meah Shearim, Bnei Barak, Golders Green, elsewhere dressed in weirdo black clothing who are all praying and waiting patiently for Bi'at hamashiah. What the debate here boils down to is Jewish Messiah=Good, other messiahs=evil. Not exactly an intellectual argument - but then, if it were, Bunnie Meyer would not be able to participate, as she's too busy writing anti-Moslem signs to stick in her shop window.
46. Proof positive why gov'ts need to be secular not religious
(11.13.06)
47. Anna
USA   (11.15.06)
First of all you dont even know me so dont judge me. Second of all your canadian enough said. Third im sure your jewish because you dont use rationality and common sense. Your little spiel about turning the desert into a forest. Well israel got its water from the golan which is syrian land and the west bank. And ya the whole forest thing ya when your living in a place were water is the most important thing your not going to waist in bye planting trees that dont produce anything but are and just say wow dosnt that look nice. You should go to israel and see all the israeli lawns and how green they are and then go to the west bank and see how thirsty those people are but im sure you could care less. Bye the way in Farsi the angel of death is called Israel.
48. #16, you are way off base
lackster ,   Houston, Tx, USA   (11.15.06)
#16 You have a pretty distorted view of the truth, do yourself and those you love a favor. obtain a copy of the HOLY Bible, then study, alot. Salvation IS at hand.
49. More Lies
John ,   USA   (11.15.06)
Nothing but lies, Iran wants nukes so they can kill. Yes, kill, lie and kill some more . That is the muslim way. Allways has been always wil be. Why??? Because the don't follow the true GOD, they follow a counterfiet god. Satan the father of all lies and murder. May the God of Abraham Issac and Jacob have mercy on your pitifull souls.
50. Iran
BK ,   Det - USA   (11.15.06)
If His Imperial Majesty assumes the Throne we would not have to worry about this country
51. # 20 Iran's nuke intentions are peaceful not military
Tex ,   Baltimore, MD, USA   (11.15.06)
Angel, sweetheart, what have you been smoking. This Mahdi religious nonsense is just a cover for Iran's desire to be boss hog at the trough in the Middle East. Check out all the mystic junk the Nazi came up with to justify their attempt to rule the world. Hitler - Amadinejad, these clowns are all the same. They would be a laughing stock if it wasn't for the fact that they end up killing so many innocent people.
52. # 30
Tex ,   Baltimore, MD, USA   (11.16.06)
In the interest of fairness how about we also try to get the word out about the slaughter of innocent people being killed with petro dollars from Iran.
53. Not the same God!
Clay ,   USA   (11.16.06)
The God of Bush is not the god of Ahmandinejad. Bush's God is the true God, the God of Israel, and anyone who worships another "GOD" is worshipping satan.
54. Jack #44
Todd ,   DC, USA   (11.16.06)
Jack, the reason there are many similarities between the Bible and the koran/islamic writings is because the koran was plagirized from the Bible.
55. # 53 Not the same God!
Tex ,   Baltimore, MD, USA   (11.16.06)
Clay, There's an old saying, "You become what you hate". Seems as though you're taking the same position as the Muslim extremists, i.e, if your God is not my God then by definition you're a.....what....would you use the word infidel? Same church. Different pew.
56. the hidden imam is in my closet
ted ,   michigan,usa   (11.16.06)
he speaks to me through my toaster oven
57. Same God?
T ,   New York, NY   (11.16.06)
Religion is fundementally inconsistent with violence. muslims have no god or religion if they are only concerned with earthly victory through violence. Their desires for dominance are rooted in vanity and pride, not religion.
58. Not the same God
Freta the Christian ,   San Francisco, USA   (11.16.06)
My God's better than your God or My Daddy's bigger than your Daddy or My big brother can beat up your big brother Sounds like alot of people haven't grown up yet but are in a position of power to cause untold amounts of murder, terror and suffering of innocent people. i.e. Iran, North Korea.
59. #5
Freda the Christian ,   San Fransisco, USA   (11.16.06)
Racists like you have nothing good to say about other different people. President Bush doesn't talk to God he prays to God. Your ignorance is glaring.
60. Awaiting the Iranian messiah
KB ,   USA   (11.16.06)
Jesus Christ is the only messiah
