Reply #17: I thought I remembered reading somewhere that Ahmadinejad is messianic too [View All]

There is a Muslim strain of thought that purports to restore some kind of messiah-type figure if global destruction is imminent.

And Ahmadinejad believes he is the one (just like Bush and Armegeddon) to bring about the requisite conditions to ensure the return of this messiah-type figure.

As an atheist, this type of thinking just makes me cross-eyed. But obviously enough people believe this is truth - enough so that a percentage will support nuclear wars in order to try to fulfilll the myths.

Does anyone know this legend that drives Ahmadinejad?
