“Today, we should define our economic, cultural and political policies based on the policy of Imam Mahdi’s return.”
-Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
“We must prepare ourselves to rule the world and the only way to do that is to put forth views on the basis of the Expectation of the Return.”
-Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
In Islamic eschatology, the Mahdi (Arabic: مهدي / ISO 233: mahdī / English: Guided One) is the prophesied redeemer of Islam who will rule for seven, nine or nineteen years- (according to various interpretations)[1] before the Day of Judgment (yawm al-qiyamah / literally, the Day of Resurrection)[2] and, alongside Jesus, will rid the world of wrongdoing, injustice and tyranny.
"I have been commanded to fight
against people till they testify that there
is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad
is the messenger of Allah"
(Muslim 1:33)
Jihad in the way of Allah elevates one's position in Paradise by a hundred fold.
(Muslim 4645)

Still not one poster here can explain to us all why no Israeli troops served in Iraq or Afganastan? I thought they were fighting the War on terror as well? I think it's a fair question. Anybody have an answer? I don't bash Israel at all, but this question has bothered me for years. Why not? ~SheopleNation

Hmmm, contrary to what my air force friends say maybe there are a few smart marines!
A couple of points.
Iran scary - scores about 1.
Israel scary - scores 11 on the ten point scale.
The word Israel means "struggles with God."
Islam means "peace."
It guarantees certain rights and liberties, but America has virtually no track record of just who those rights and liberties go to.
And virtually no guarantee of them being present in war time.
Time tests all nations. And the US has stood it. It will survive.

For the same reason that the west kept israel out of the 1st gulf war even though Iraq was throwing scuds at it. They don't want it to turn into a holy war. And if Israel gets involved it would become a holy war. The Muslims just won't take Israel being involved.

I know alot about history and this has nothing to do with arms sales. It has everything to do with the zionist agenda to take over the middle east, install western banks and destabilize the region to start another world war. War is the only option they have left if they carry on with there current economic plans to devalue the dollar. I'm british and I can say you are an enemy of the founding fathers of your country. When you start changing your constitution it leads you down a very dangerous road.

American Citizens just as the founding fathers intended them for.
The constitution guarantees these rights at all times. There is nothing in the constitution that says these rights are not guaranteed in times of war. So you are just making up your own rhetoric which is completely false.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
One word - Delusional.

APOD - I am not just addressing this to you but to the entire segment of American society that think and acts the way you do.
People from all around the world are reading this and many of them are thinking, "Wow, Americans just don't get it!"
You don't get it
But, I do feel sorry for all of you men and women who have been sucked into thinking you are fighting for your country and I actually don't want you to even get shot at let alone killed.
If instead of spending one trillion dollars on military crap and intel BS we spent it on education we would not have to explain to a 25 year old why siding with Israel and attacking Iran is an immoral, unwise and the exact opposite of what Christianity is all about

Israel becoming a nation was not predicted. The Jews coming together was.
Israel cannot be a nation unless it follows all the rules of the Old Testament.
They do not. They are not Israel. They are just another nation with a name.

BS! NATO was(and still is) in the middle east fighting "to steal" territory/influence from the russian/chineese empire and to help suppress islamic extremism YET israel cannot be bothered to help itself whenever the opportunity presents itself.
Saddam launches scuds and the israelis default to nato for assistance. Iran threatens israel and again israel defaults to nato and the un. In fact during the seven day conflict israel had the chance to obliterate all the arab dictatorships and they succombed to the un pressuring them for a seize fire.
I see the pattern very clearly. Israel is not allowed to defend itself and protect its national security because the objective is not preventing a holly war, it is about starting one! Something that lingers on and on and on will eventually backfire in your face and a lot of other peoples' face as well. When national security is at stake you use whatever means necessary to defend yourself and your interests. I don't care if it involves a ground campaign or nukes.

I will watch the video shortly.
As for your stab at the Marines; HA HA FUNNY.
You are correct about their meanings. Unfortunately Islam's way to peace is to 'rid the world of tyranny' which obviously makes Israel its prime target and most likely the United States based on the actions of our government.
