Dave ,   Rochester, NY USA   (11.16.06)
Lets just get it over with, hit Iran now step back and see what the responce will be. If they don't back down,hit them again. The" twelvers" and the "mahdis" want the "great one " to return , so let's see if they have the powe.!!!!
62. The Mahdi has already come and gone
Farook ,   Dallas, TX USA   (11.16.06)
Too bad they didn't notice, but as it is written "But if they who claim to follow the Prophet walk in the path of sin instead, the Mahdi will leave and not return until they have understood the Word of Allah, which is the Way to Peace. I say to you, the undeserving shall never see the face of the Twelfth Imam."

65. How sad
Yirmin Snipe ,   Boston, USA   (11.16.06)
I always knew islam was based on little more than the ramblings of a pedophile. Now it appears he wasn't even very originial. Looks like he just stole bits of the other religious writing and managed to create an the ultimate in stupidity. I only hope the Israelies exterminate every Iranian so the rest of the world can move on.
66. # 20.. way too much red meat in your diet.
Coleman ,   Orlando, FL   (11.16.06)
...Hostile, disagreeable, testy, ill-informed,.. this describes just about all of "Islam".. I'm beginning to believe it's dietary... way, WAY too much red meat in Islams's diet. The U.S and the U.K. should start shipping massive amounts of fruits and vegatables to everyone in the Middle East - and implement "force feeding".
67. Awaiting the Iranian messiah
cb ,   Tampa, Fl. U.S.A.   (11.16.06)
How is it that an ordinary man {Ahmadinejad president of Iran} can decide that he has a direct link to god or to the messiah.? Can someone give me that answer!!!!!!!!!!!!
68. The 12th Imam
Shinbone ,   Fort Worth, TX   (11.16.06)
Son, being from the Lone Star State, I gotta say one thing, "That was a real kneeslapper" Keep on keepin on!
69. # 57 Same God
Tex ,   Baltimore, MD, USA   (11.16.06)
Religion is inconsistent with violence? Hardly. Religion and violence have been old friends since the very beginning. Yaweh helps David whack Goliath. Yaweh helps Sampson kill his enemies with the jawbone of an ass. God inspires several crusades to convert the Muslims in Palestine. God requires that witches be identified and burned at the stake. Allah wills that Muslims fly airplanes into buildings full of innocent civilians. Allah wills that Iraqis drill holes in the heads of other Iraqis and the cut those heads off. Do I need to continue? Yaweh, God, Allah. Founders of religions that do violence in their name. Here endth the lesson.
70. Awaiting the Iranian Messiah
Edward Dupre ,   Lowell, USA   (11.17.06)
God is for all who believe in him, There may be a great war, but Israel will survive, so will Iran. The Messiah they are waiting for, may be the anti christ. Time will pass that all will see that all faiths can live in peace and harmony.
71. I got the 12th Imam right here in my

72. Religious NUTS Everywhere!
Rock Bongo ,   Cincinnati, U.S.A.   (11.17.06)
Ahmadinejhad and Bush are both religious maniacs! War in the name of religion of ANY SORT would be the worst sin possible. It's STUPID! Thank God for secular liberalism!
73. This is nucking futz
Nucking Futz ,   Washington, DC USA   (11.17.06)
Can the imam also bring Elvis back? I think there's a better likelihood of me becoming a jet fighter than a guy emerging from a well to bring the apocalypse to fruition.
74. Iran and Nukes
glory ,   houston, texas   (11.17.06)
Angel, I see you read Al Jazeera. Even Muslims say that Ahmadinejad is crazy and is pursuing a manmade Apocolypse. Anyone who believes that all the talk coming from Iran about destroying another country is "peaceful" is as insane as the Iranian President. As surely as the bible foretells this coming war, Ahmadinejad is going to lead his country over a cliff. The "Zionist" crap is old stuff, you need new talking points.
75. re; mahdi vs Christ
Bill ,   USA   (11.19.06)
You missed one. The mahdi is supposed to appear on a white horse wearing a crown. He is coming conquering, and to conquer. Sounds to me like the first of the four horsemen, who is the Christian Antichrist.
76. Iran
Martin K. ,   Toronto, Canada   (11.20.06)
Israel should take a page from the Six Day War when Nasser said he would drive the Jews into the sea. They believed him, and struck first. When it comes to maniacs, you don't sit back and wait for them to make the first move or you won't get a second chance.
77. Iranian messiah
donna ,   Easton, USA   (12.20.06)
This is how satan deceives the world. Perverted truth. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaks the truth of man's heart- "I emphatically declare that today's world, more than ever before, longs for… the perfect righteous human being and real savior who has been promised to all peoples and who will establish justice, peace and brotherhood on the planet. Almighty God… make us among his followers and among those who strive for his return and his cause. " Satan takes this truth and twists it. Yes, the world seeks the "real savior". His name is Jesus Christ. God uses the foolish things of the world to reveal his Truth. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's prayer that he "make us among his followers ..." is prophetic truth, God speaking through the foolish.
78. all this crazyness
A Nobody ,   My home:Planet earth   (12.20.06)
Any facts about the origin of the writer? Nobody ever heard of Mr Newton around here?
79. Religion
Gideon ,   Miami US   (12.20.06)
All Religions pray to the same GOD the Muslim God is the Same Jewish as the Same Christian God , Any one who says that this false, only wishes to portrey himself better than his Brother and "VANITY" in any Religion is a sin.
80. Israel
Ira Golberg ,   L.A.,Los Angeles   (12.21.06)
Let us face it that Israel cannot survive 24 hours without the American help, and as the events show the American help because of internatl and external pressures will be coming to an end. Therefore, let us to revive the idea of Israel to be relocated to Blitz, in C.America.

My Friend what makes you so sure that our god is a false god if so then the god of is israel is false too,Becuse we beleave in the same god the God of Ibrahim,. Adam ,noah and moses, jesuse,solyman,david,And Mohmed the last prophit did you know that Mohmed Peace upon him his fifth father is Ismail the son of the great prophit Ibrahim the father of Israel.See way we belive in the same God .Pluse Question: "Why did God choose Israel to be His chosen people?" Answer: Speaking of the nation of Israel, Deuteronomy 7:7-9 tells us, “The LORD did not set His affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath He swore to your forefathers that He brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commands.” this promise was made by god to Ibrahim not israil you were chosen by god becuse he chose from the son`s of Israil maney prophit`s but in the end they all failed to bring you to god and so the son`s of Israil got cursed by god common dont you know the story of the sabbeth were god cursed the jew and turned too great tribes of the jew too monkey`s and pig`s this is no joke this is history ask a real rabbai he well tell if he dears.My friend you were the chosen people until god replaced you by the son`s Ismail which is Mohamed which is Islam the Man chosen by god almighty Puriefied in heart lived for 40 years among men befor the prophecy he was nkown as the trust worthy the honset never told a lie in his life to a human very gentel very peacefull very sweet .you think after all this he well say a lie about god he was saying the word of god everything he prophcied came true at his time and after .Now you should search more in this matter.And to be honest Israil well be doomed by god,God dose not help evil like israel you are killer`s face it .Your savage people you think that god chose you only over all his creation and the rest of humantiy are slave`s to you.What kind of rightous relgion would say that.
82. The Real Messiah
Adam Neira ,   Paris, France   (05.10.12)
Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan wrote a good book entitled "The Real Messiah". The Mahdi concept like J.C. is an ersatz derivative of the messianic prophecies contained in the Tanach. Also since this report was written in 2006 there has been some incredible changes in the mindset of various leaders in the region. The following has been sent to many people all around the world over the last eight years. MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION Do you believe "Moshiach" is... (a) A tasty Polish stew best served in the depths of winter. (b) An irrelevant, archaic concept with no relevance to today's world. (c) A metaphor for an age of world peace and does not imply an actual person. (d) Alive and breathing right now on Planet Earth and is doing his work. (e) Has already lived and will return one day, i.e. He is M.M.Schneerson or J.C. (f) Not born yet and is not physically present on Earth yet. (g) Best represented by the collective Jewish people and/or the State of Israel.
