One day of peace?

Message from a respectful Muslim:

[[[[Today is Good Friday for many Christians and we hold that in respect. Today is my religious day as a Muslim so I hold that in respect also. I feel today is not a day to laugh and cut up and be crazy but to respect each others religion. I feel today is a day to remember God in each of our own ways.

I feel today is a day to love our brother, forgive our enemy and do good for our neighbor. I feel today their is no barrier between religions only a pure respect of each ones beliefs. I find it disrespectful if anyone would bash anyones religion on a day most honorable and only a very sick individual could do that.]]]]

Well that's comforting isn't it, so what happens tomorrow?

The Facts:

Islam must prepare to rule the world, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a crowd of theological students in Iran's holy city of Qom, according to a report.
"We must believe in the fact that Islam is not confined to geographical borders, ethnic groups and nations. It's a universal ideology that leads the world to justice," Ahmadinejad said Jan. 5, according to Mehran Riazaty, a former Iran analyst for the Central Command of the Coalition Forces in Baghdad.


Ahmadinejad, who has drawn global attention recently for his contention the Holocaust was a "myth," said: "We don't shy away from declaring that Islam is ready to rule the world."

Riazaty, in a post on the website Regime Change Iran, said the Iranian president emphasized his current theme that the return of the Shiite messiah, the Mahdi, is not far away, and Muslims must prepare for it.

According to Shiites, the 12th imam disappeared as a child in the year 941. When he returns, they believe, he will reign on earth for seven years, before bringing about a final judgment and the end of the world.

Ahmadinejad is urging Iranians to prepare for the coming of the Mahdi by turning the country into a mighty and advanced Islamic society and by avoiding the corruption and excesses of the West.

"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," Ahmadinejad said. "If we work on the basis of the Expectation of the Return [of the Mahdi], all the affairs of our nation will be streamlined and the administration of the country will become easier."

Riazaty pointed out that Iran's speaker of parliament, Mehdi Kahrubi, said Saturday that some people working closely with Ahmadinejad believe the Mahdi probably will return in the next two years, which means Iran needs to start building more hotels.

Iran only months away from nuke?

Happy Good Friday eh?
