The Return of the Mahdi

This, remember, is the president of a country that's halfway to acquiring nuclear weapons:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claims the United States is attempting to thwart the return of mankind's savior, according to reports from Al Arabiya, a television news station based in Dubai.

Ahmadinejad reportedly claims he has documented evidence that the U.S. is blocking the return of Mahdi, the Imam believed by [Shi'a] Muslims to be the savior.

“We have documented proof that they believe that a descendant of the prophet of Islam will raise in these parts and he will dry the roots of all injustice in the world,” Ahmadinejad said during a speech on Monday, according to Al Arabiya.

"They have devised all these plans to prevent the coming of the Hidden Imam because they know that the Iranian nation is the one that will prepare the grounds for his coming and will be the supporters of his rule," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying.

Nothing about the Jews, surprisingly. He was just getting round to that when they led him away (the twitching was getting out of hand).

Foe once a mad dinner jacket is right. The Mahdi is driving a cab in New York and the US have put him on a no-fly list.
