#1 He exhibits fanatical obsession with the reappearance of Imam Al-Mahdi (the hidden 12th Imam, and a descendant of Mohammed through his son-in-law Ali bin Abi Talib, in the beliefs of Shi’ite Twelvers), often alluding to current developments in Iraq as signs of his imminent return.

Not this sh!t again!

Al-Hassani often points out that the al-messiah al-dajjal, or the antichrist, has entered Iraq in the form of the U.S., heralding the reemergence of the 12th Imam, and that Hassani’s followers will act as the Imam’s foot soldiers to restore justice to the world and, more significantly, to fight the corrupt clerical establishment (in reference to false clerics in Iraq and Iran).

If he thinks "the antichrist, has entered Iraq in the form of the U.S.", I just want to see what he thinks if we abandon him to Ahmedinejad's tender mercies. His sufferings would be as nothing compared to the bliss Iran's mullahs would bring.

#3 How could the US be the Antichrist when he is sitting in Iran? Beware the accuser - besides, Sadr foolows the false prophet Mohammet.

#4 Why don't we just declare that we ARE SATAN and ask them what they think their puny human bodies can do against the avatars of the lord of all darkness?

#5 ...proclaimed himself Grand Ayatollah

I think I'm starting to see why Islamic culture hasn't progressed much in the last ten or so centuries.

Hey, Fred! Why don't you proclaim yourself Grand Ayatollah and we'll all form a Rantist fringe movement. We can issue snarkwahs and obsess over whether the Paleos will ever show any sense.

#6 #5: "Hey, Fred! Why don't you proclaim yourself Grand Ayatollah and we'll all form a Rantist fringe movement."

Ummm, Steve - That already happened. Didn't you get the memo?

(Though it must be pointed out that Fred didn't declare himself - he was declared the Grand Poobah Ayatollah of everything by the Rantburg regulars. And the trolls.)

"We can issue snarkwahs and obsess over whether the Paleos will ever show any sense."

Haven't read Rantburg much lately, have you? ;-p

#7 I thought Fred was the Grand Poobah. Sheesh. Everybody really needs to use spell checkers.

I'm down for that accepting the Great Satan thing.

And proving it to be accurate.

#9 Nope, Al-Hassani, we are THE Satan, Commander of All Dark Forces, Destroyer of Worlds, and Undeniably Fabulous A-List Party Host with the Best Booze, Extra Ice and Hot Chix.

The Antichrist is our errand boy, and we just sent him off to return a few videos before we got hit with late fees, m'kay?

No wonder the other ayatollahs laugh at you. Even they know the difference.

#11 Did any of you wonder about the twelvth imam thingy ?
Like Jesus had twelve Apostles, so Mohammet had to have twelve Imams to match. It's a wonder Mohammet wasn't born of a virgin, in a manger, and twelve days later, 3 UN guys showed up with stocks and bonds.

#12 OK, I'll bite: why in the hell do muzzies worry about the antichrist? That's Christian (and only some branches at that) eschatology. I thought muzzies consider Jesus to have been only a prophet.

In this case, imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery; just another Satanic deception.

Nah, it was bearer bonds, untraceable currency, and a resolution condemning Israel.

#22 Haven't read Rantburg much lately, have you? ;-p

Heh. Usually first thing every day! Rantburg is an important part of a daily news diet. It's the best place for collected news on the WOT, random snark, and thanks to the wide-ranging expertise of the Rantist fringe, actual serious analysis and discussion. Rantburg should probably be declared a National Treasure.

Once upon a time, I used to read the BBC on the web, back when they were considered an important and impartial news. Gawd, how old do you have to be to remember that! I can even remember when Reuters was a most respected name in international news. Time for my nap now.

As much as I detest the whole embodiement-of-evil thingie, if we have to get Medieval all over their Islamic @sses, then so be it. I'm going to have to back you on this one, flyover. Fused glass, brimstone, scorched earth, whatever. So long as all Muslim majority countries reek of it when we're finished. I have pretty much lost hope for any peaceful resolution of Islam's differences with Western culture. Since universal sharia law is straight out, that leaves only one thing ...
