Islam 3.0? Iranian Islamism with a Nuclear Message

And as if there were not enough allusions to the idea that al-Madhi is not expected by either the sunni or shiia Muslims in these modern times, peruse the news scene for the comments by none other than the Iranian president, who on many other occasions, expressed his personal views on just that very circumstance.

May we call that Islam 3.0? Probably not, for he is not the first, second or even third most important person in Islam to make such a proclamation. Suffice it to be said, though, that he has every intention to make Iran the showplace, if at all possible with nuclear bravado, from which he believes Israel will be made his example of the power necessary to make it happen.

Unfortunately, for him and his people, Israel is the real showplace, as already seen, and the Iranian president will have to come to Israel to find out just how mistaken he was when he thought to force the issue against the provisions of the Biblical prophecies happening as this is being written.
