Iran: "Iman Ali Prophesied a Tall Black man Will Rise to Power in the West Just Before the Return of the Mahdi"....(Update)...Article Deleted by Forbes.....
Take a wild guess, who do the Mullahs think that "tall black man" is?......
Barack Obama the "promised warrior" coming to help the Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world?
The question has made the rounds in Iran since last month, when a pro-government Web site published a Hadith (or tradition) from a Shiite text of the 17th century. The tradition comes from Bahar al-Anvar(meaning Oceans of Light) by Mullah Majlisi, a magnum opus in 132 volumes and the basis of modern Shiite Islam.
According to the tradition, Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the prophet's cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the Ultimate Saviour, a "tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West."Commanding "the strongest army on earth," the new ruler in the West will carry "a clear sign" from the third imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali. The tradition concludes: "Shiites should have no doubt that he is with us."
In a curious coincidence Obama's first and second names--Barack Hussein--mean "the blessing of Hussein" in Arabic and Persian. His family name, Obama, written in the Persian alphabet, reads O Ba Ma, which means "he is with us," the magic formula in Majlisi's tradition.
Mystical reasons aside, the Khomeinist establishment sees Obama's rise as another sign of the West's decline and the triumph of Islam.Obama's promise to seek unconditional talks with the Islamic Republic is cited as a sign that the U.S. is ready to admit defeat. Obama's position could mean abandoning three resolutions passed by the United Nations Security Council setting conditions that Iran should meet to avoid sanctions.Seeking unconditional talks with the Khomeinists also means an admission of moral equivalence between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic. It would imply an end to the description by the U.S. of the regime as a "systematic violator of human rights."

Why would Forbes delete this? It's not known as a liberal magazine. Pressure from the Chosen One?.....

Using gematria, the Greek Church Fathers (e.g. Andreas Caesariensis Cappadociae, Commentarius in Apoc., 38; Migne 106.340D) identified the name of the number of the beast (Apoc. 13:18) as BENEDIKTOS (the values of each letter in Greek are 2+ 5+ 50+ 5+ 4+ 10+ 20+ 300+ 70+ 200 = 666); in Latin "benedictus" means "blessed"; in modern Arabic, the name Barack (Arabic: بارك ) means "blessed".
Benediktos (666) = Barack

I still dont think he is the AC. I do think he is a strong ally of the AC though.

One really has to wonder about this guy and prophecy given the fanaticism of his following and what prophecy says.

I will say to you that the blacks are at the base of all civilizations... Absolutely! It is even a cosmic truth!
Because Cosmos is only black that's the truth!there are very few white. Moreover the blacks are at the origin of the holes which bear their name.....Whereas the only holes that we was able to create it is the hole of the social security.The cosmic asshole, it is nevertheless something else.....
Why the flour is white? Why snow is white? And this sugar bastard, white too. Wedding gowns, white too. Even the light, when it is mixed, it makes white. It is Crasy....
“Racism” must indeed be flushed out as soon as possible… at the small white. Why not kill them as at the birth? that would save time......................?
We are in a total insane World !!!!!!!!

El,
I have come to believe that Obama is the emmisary of the Antichrist and that the muslims long awaited Mahdi IS the Antichrist. I'm sure IBS or someone would know exactly, but I think the Antichrist is to reign 18 months before he gets whacked.
Like I've been saying, I think if Black obama wins, he'll get whacked by someone on the right or someone posing as someone on the right. If he loses, he's no longer their useful idiot so the Left will whack him. In other words, Obama has no future, as I see it. That brings in Biden which is REALLY scary.
BTW, did you see this hit piece on Palin by Politico? I really despise these Demturd assholes.

Bob,
Mullah should know the timeline and I believe the AC comes from Eurabia or the ME so it cant be Obama, but he will be a major player.

Muslims are always re-interpreting their texts to come up with prophecies as to some modern-day nonsense.
After McCain wins, they'll change the interpretation of the prophecy to something like a white-haired combat veteran will rise to power in the West and rein hellfire down on the jihad.

Did the prophecy mention he was a horrible dancer who liked to lie his ass off??
Posted by: Jay | October 26, 2008 at 10:03 PM
Would I be correct in assuming that this "prophecy" is total bullshit, because there was no WESTERN civilization aka The Great Satan around the time that this was written? In other words, we were not here to incur their wrath.
Maybe I am just confused.

Betcha they just pulled that Koranic babble out of a hat. Completely fabricated with no basis in any Islamic religious texts whatsoever.

El,
"Mullah should know the timeline and I believe the AC comes from Eurabia or the ME so it cant be Obama, but he will be a major player."
That, the location, in part, is why I've reassessed Obama and now think he's the emmisary of the Antichrist. Whether he is or isn't, he's an evil fucker through and through. Obama is completely amoral. He and his followers will do and say anything to get elected. So who's going to prosecute them if they break the law? NO-body. They want total control.

Fellows get a grip,, if God said that there would be an AC, at the end of days, then there will be an AC,... who cares if and when or who it be. GOD said so, and if you are a true believer like early Christians were, then you would be welcoming the comming, because it means the Kingdom of God is at hand, and we can get out of this S*** pile we are in. If you don't believe in gods, then you don't care about religious prophesy, either way we are powerless to effect the outcome.
As Iman Ali you can take solice in the knowledge that ...The easiest way to recognize a failed Ideology is the phrase "conquer the world", here lay it's ardent believers;
The Persian Empire: Alexander The Great: Rome: Mohammad: The Ottoman Turks: Ghenghis & Kubla Kan: Napolean: The British Empire: Adolph Hitler: Mao: Communism: and waiting in the wings... the "Anti-Christ".

it was never Mohammad's mission to "conquer the world" nor will it be the Mahdi's.

My thought is: yes, this was obviously manufactured by the imams to bolster confidence among the Muslim faithful. What better way to work the masses up to a frenzy (e.g., support building a nuke and dropping it on Israel) than make them believe the new American president supports their transcendency?
It's scary not because it has any validity (!), but rather because of what it portends for Islamic terrorism. I think we're entering an entirely new chapter. Consider what was planned during the LAST administration that was weak on Islamofascism (and for anyone who misses the point, 9/11 was planned during the Clinton administration, even if it was carried out early in the Bush years).

Total lie

I would say Obama is the AC for he is 42 muslim background and someone who promised everyone he would make it better and they actually believed his sorry ass. Doesn't that sound like AC to me bringing peace and promising great things.
