Meanwhile, a new feature on Ahmadinejad’s blog has appeared in the form of scrolling text calling for the arrival of Imam Mahdi, revered by some Shiites as being the Islamic messiah. A number of Shiite scholars believe that the Mahdi’s arrival is near, and that it will herald the start of an apocalyptic era, a view which President Ahmadinejad reportedly subscribes to.
Yes, obviously Ahmadinejad is a batshit crazy lunatic and that anything he says, writes, or emotes has to be understood as the ravings of a madman. But he’s a batshit crazy lunatic who thinks that the end of the world is at hand and who’s about a year and a half from getting nuclear weapons. So we’re inclined to err on the side of caution on this one.
