Nuclear weapons + belief in the Mahdi = trouble
From Susan O. over at WorldMagBlog:
Hugh Hewitt reports on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's speech to the UN yesterday and quotes his concluding apocalyptic emphasis: "'I emphatically declare that today's world more than ever before longs for just and righteous people with love for all humanity, and above all longs for the perfect, righteous human being and the real savior who has been promised to all peoples and who will establish justice, peace and brotherhood on the planet.... the perfect human being promised to all by you, and make us among his followers among those who strive for his return and his cause.'"
Translation: the 12th Imam, or Mahdi, is coming to bring about the end of the world. Nuclear weapons just could help in that process.
