Mind you, some non-Muslims might not find this event quite so great. From Iran Focus, with thanks to JE:
Tehran, Iran, Jan. 12 – Iran’s hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Thursday evening that the Islamic Republic’s 1979 Islamic revolution was a great movement and a stepping stone to a final “great event” in the world.Speaking to a crowd in the southern city of Roudan, Hormozgan province, Ahmadinejad said, “The Islamic Republic is the continuation of the path of the prophets which came to begin a great movement and the final occurrence”.
“The Islamic revolution was a great leap in leading the people and reaching the climax of history”, Ahmadinejad said.
If he sets off his nukes as he wishes to, he may not be that far wrong.

What's the bet that this great event will be the end of the world, made possible by Iran's nuclear bomb, when it gets it.
Hitler would be proud.

Perhaps there will indeed be a great event, and a final reckoning, but the outcome will not be what this asswipe imagines. As weak and as culturally suicidal as our society might have become, I do believe that when our backs are against the wall, facing off against an islamic country with the bomb, we would crush them without fear to protect ourselves. Even continental Europe. Even France!

Trash talk from this Islamoloon makes me think that Iran is close to a nuclear bomb. Not five years off

Wike a nuke, Islam would reach the top once again with the bloodshed of millions. Such a history, such a lofty goal, such a religion.

Great event:
1. Iran lobs two, maybe even half a dozen warheads in the yeild range measured in kilotons, at Israel, Iraq and Western Europe.
2. Incumbent nuclear powers agree in advance that Iran must be erased and strategic response from US, Russian, European, and possibly even Chinese nuclear forces makes sure the job is done within one hour.
3. Leaders of India and Pakistan have tea together during the "event".
4. US, Japan, India, China and Russia agree to pulling out the stops to ensure rapid development of petroleum extraction capacity for the vast untapped Russian reserves to prevent their respective petroleum-based economies from imploding and to rebuild the capacity of the now smoldering desert wilderness that was formerly known as Iran.
5. Meanwhile, my oil futures account at my friendly local FCM swells in value to retirement levels and I go on holiday for the rest of my life.
Great event indeed.

Fortunately, the only climax for this dude will be a western bullet bullet to the head, or if it a more local putch, a severing of his head.

I hope the Mahdi has a CBR suit ready when he returns.
(That's Chemical/Bacteriological/Radiological in the parlance they used when I was in boot camp.)
And good luck in finding any believers among the ruins after the Great Event's inevitable supersonic repercussion from the West.
I hope the Iranian people realize that if they don't get rid of their insane leadership soon they tempt becoming something that would look more appropriate slowly whirling on a rotisserie.

Hitler only wanted to control the world, not to destroy it.
Curious point though. What's happened to all the chicken-little Ronald Reagan-haters, sounding the alarm of 'danger,' 'warmonger,' and 'he believes Armegeddon is due, and he's liable to cause it?'
They were worried about Reagan, but they think this guy is just jerking our chain?

And what about the other 1,999,999,999,999 Mohammedans remaining after that?
They're all the same. Mahmoud is only more open with his Islamic enthusiasms than most.

Interesting...
People still dont get it...
I understand that sometimes the opponent bluffs and moves for a stratigic position...
But this NUT job is different..
If he Irans thug in chief is as Bonkers as he appears...
He might be just irrational enough to try and light one of these nukes off ..
Committing all of Iran to suicide believing ...
WRONGLY they will all end up in allahs whorehouse in the sky..
I put a picture on my little site...
and a so called catholic iranian proceeded to cuss me out...
Telling me how Iran has the right and would never use the weapon for aggressive purposes...
SURE.... Like i believe islam is peaceful...

Poland (or Romania) will soon get a missile defense system to, inshallah, knock down those mullah missiles incoming to Europe, and hopefully, to Israel.

Israel has done some fairly sophisticated ABM
work, the Arrow, but from what I've read the
technology is still not there. Hopefully it's
better than what I've read.
The Iranians can go low tech though, a boat, an
airplane, any number of things.
It would be prudent to destroy their capability
now, regardless of any collateral damage.

Word spread a couple of years ago that Al Qaeda agents went on a boat buying spree. Medium-sized freighters in particular.
This gives activist Moslems the ability to extend the invitation to join Islam across the globe.

He may indeed be the "leader from the east" which does precipitate a nuclear exchange as implied in prophecy and Nostradameus writings. He certainly has the temperment for it.

I'm not sold on Nostradamus myself, but it does make for fascinating speculation. Here's the text on Nostradamus' 3rd antiChrist from "Armageddon Online":
Out of the country of Greater Arabia Shall be born a strong master of Mohammed,
He will enter Europe wearing a blue turban.
He will be the terror of mankind.
Never more horror.

Translation: "great event" = Armegeddon
Posted by: Bohemond_1069 at January 14, 2006 3:36 PM
I agree totally. There can be no mistake about it. The 'great event' he refers to is a nuclear exchange.
And, thanks for the Nostradamus quote. Hadn't realized that he wrote one referring to Mohammed himself.
Posted by: Mahdi Al-Dajjal at January 14, 2006 4:35 PM
How depressing. The Bible warns of an evil person whom appears as a 'peacemaker". The religion of peace, aka Islam, as purported by Ahmadinejad is leading to Armageddon.
I fear that things are "spinning out of control".
It is ashame that Pres Carter didn't deal with the "Iranian Revolution", but then Carter was truely one of the dumbest President's that we ever had.

Are some of you suggesting that Ahmadinejad will PREEMPTIVELY USE WMD TO BRING ABOUT THE RETURN OF THE MAHDI?
Posted by: jim at January 14, 2006 4:46 PM
Man, here's hoping that the Iranian military brass are Moderate Moslems.

Yes. He's that nuts. In his own words: “Our revolution’s main mission is to pave the way for the reappearance of the 12th Imam, the Mahdi.” From http://www.anglicansforisrael.com/docs/2005/12/16/the-growing-iranian-threat
ABC News did some reporting from Tehran a few weeks ago, including this profile of Ahmadinejad which says he believes the Mahdi will return in two years:
http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=1471465
To quote the great Hank Hill (pbuh), the boy ain't right.
Posted by: Shinoliite at January 14, 2006 5:51 PM
Another piece of the nutty Ahmadinejad puzzle, from http://www.iranian.ws/iran_news/publish/article_10945.shtml :
"But what really has tongues wagging is the possibility that Ahmadinejad's belief in the 12th Imam's return may be linked to the supposed growing influence of a secretive society devoted to the Mahdi which was banned in the early 1980s.
Founded in 1953 and used by the Shah of Iran to try to eradicate followers of the Bahai faith, the Hojjatieh Society is governed by the conviction that the 12th Imam's return will be hastened by the creation of chaos on earth."
Nothing like nukes to do that.

Sorry, learjet0450, but I gotta disagree. Carter is a nuclear engineer, thus making him a very smart man. His failings aren't due to something beyond his control like stupidity. He chooses to be a weak, blame-the-west-first, peace-at-any-cost, left winger. You can see that in his speeches and writings today. The guy is so out of touch with reality one wonders why anyone talks to him anymore but there he was, not too long ago, on TV being asked questions about the economy and foreign policy, the two unambiguously collosal failures of his administration.
I graduated high school in '79 and remember thinking that if I were president, the Iranians wouldn't be able to see the sky for all the US warplanes. My first time voting was for Reagan the following year. Amazing how quickly those hostages were freed once someone with balls was inaugurated.
I few years ago, I read an account by one of the hostages about how he was asked by one of the "students" what would happen when Reagan got into office. The hostage told him "Well, he'll probably give you about a week to release us and then BOOM!" The "student's" eyes got real big and he said "Really?" The hostage said "Yep."

And that is why I said he was stupid, because of the choices he has made.
Their are different categories of intelligence. Being a nuclear engineer, does not make him "worldly".

RE: Are some of you suggesting that Ahmadinejad will PREEMPTIVELY USE WMD TO BRING ABOUT THE RETURN OF THE MAHDI?
Yes, Jim as many prophets from many different cultures have "end times prophecy".
Start with the Bible of which 30% is devoted to prophecy.
The Hopi Indians and Mayans both have apocolyptic
times. The Mayan calender ends at 2012, but the world doesn't end, it gets transformed.
Nostradamus gets a lot of publicity but Edgar Cayce makes him look like "minor leagues". Edgar Cayce lived in the 20th century.
The parallels of all of the above is amazing.
Posted by: learjet0450 at January 14, 2006 9:35 PM
I,m not too concerned about dead mens prophecies, but I am concerned about the Islamic hegemony that includes Al-Mahdi as a central figure. These jokers can claim anyone as the Mahdi, if they agree, Mahdi will get the obedience of every muslim in the world. I believe Mahdi to be a character invented by Mohammad so Islam could also have a savior. But what I believe is not important, it's what the ignorant savages believe that is important.
I doubt that any supernatural being is going to appear and do magickal tricks. But I dont put it past creative muslims to put on a show for the folks. Either way, a fake being or a real one, Mahdi is bad news.

Thanks learjet. But I'm not aware that the other religions you mention call for the creation of chaos to facilitate the return of the end-times prophet.
The existence of such a group who believe that manmade creation of chaos is necessary to the fulfillment of their eschatology is bothersome. Even more troubling is the suggestion that the president of Iran is an adherent to such a group.
I'm still searching around trying to find additional info on the Hojjatieh Society, as well as Ahmadinejad's ties to the group. If anybody knows of any authoritatively cited articles, I'd love to see them.

And so the masks fall, the third and last anti-Christ has beyond any doubt revealed himself.

Uhh---after the infidels are all dead, Allah is going to pop out of the sky and Islamicize the whole doggone universe!!!!
