Is "President" Ahmadinejad The Antichrist? Hell
No. The Antichrist will have to be a Jew from
the line of Abraham if the Jewish people are
going to accept him as their long awaited for
messiah. Is Ahmadinejad an antichrist? You
better believe it!
We know that The
Antichrist will come on the
scene making a
peace deal for Israel. This deal
comes just as it appears Israel will suffer
attack and annihilation. Iran (with Russia their
allies) is now preparing, and will be
leading the near assault.
Whether Ahmadinejad
will be on the scene or not, he is certainly
preparing for nuclear attack (That by the way
will bring his messiah the "Mahdi" out from
hiding.) and spewing the anti-Semitic hatred
that is fanning the flames of the militant
Muslim world to support his admission that
Israel should be "wiped off the map".
And Obama wants to be friendly with this guy? I
think Barak needs to
Bush Up! |

Many Christian believers think the President of Iran
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a good candidate for the Antichrist. |

Reviewing
the controversy over the translation, New York
Times deputy foreign editor Ethan Bronner
observed that "all official translations" of the
comments, including the foreign ministry and
president's office, "refer to wiping Israel
away". Dr. Joshua Teitelbaum, an
Israel-based professor with ties to AIPAC, in a
paper for the Jerusalem Center for Public
Affairs, examined the language that President
Ahmadinejad has used when discussing Israel.
Using Farsi translations from Dr. Denis MacEoin,
a former lecturer in Islamic studies in the
United Kingdom, Teitelbaum wrote that "the
Iranian president was not just calling for
“regime change” in Jerusalem, but rather the
actual physical destruction of the State of
Israel," and asserted that Ahmadinejad was
advocating the genocide of its residents as
well. Teitelbaum said that in a speech given on
26 October 2005, Ahmadinejad said the following
about Israel: "Soon this stain of disgrace will
be cleaned from the garment of the world of
Islam, and this is attainable." Teitelbaum
argued that this type of dehumanizing rhetoric
is a documented prelude to genocide incitement.
Dr. Juan Cole, a professor of modern Middle
Eastern and South Asian history at the
University of Michigan, has argued that
Ahmadinejad was not calling for the destruction
of Israel, “Ahmadinejad did not say he was going
to wipe Israel off the map because no such idiom
exists in Persian.” Dr. Stephen Walt, a
professor of international affairs at Harvard
University has said “I don’t think he is
inciting to genocide." According to Gawdat
Bahgat, Director of Center for Middle Eastern
Studies at Indiana University of Pennsylvania,
"the fiery calls to destroy Israel are meant to
mobilize domestic and regional constituencies"
and that "Rhetoric aside, most analysts agree
that the Islamic Republic and the Jewish state
are not likely to engage in a military
confrontation against each other."
In July 2006, Ahmadinejad compared Israel's
actions in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict to
Adolf Hitler's actions during World War II
saying that "like Hitler, the Zionist regime is
just looking for a pretext for launching
military attacks" and "is now acting just like
him." On 8 August 2006, he gave a television
interview to Mike Wallace, a correspondent for
60 Minutes, in which he questioned American
support of Israel's "murderous regime" and the
moral grounds for Israel's invasion of Lebanon. On 2 December
2006, Ahmadinejad met with Palestinian Prime
Minister Ismail Haniyah in Doha, Qatar. At that
meeting, he said that Israel "was created to
establish dominion of arrogant states over the
region and to enable the enemy to penetrate the
heart Muslim land." He called Israel a "threat"
and said it was created to create tensions in
and impose US and UK policies upon the region. On 12 December 2006, Ahmadinejad
addressed the International Conference to Review
the Global Vision of the Holocaust, and made
comments about the future of Israel. He said,
"Israel is about to crash. This is God's promise
and the wish of all the world's nations."
When CNN's Larry King asked Ahmadinejad "does
Israel remain Israel" in his version of the
Middle East, Ahmadinejad suggested that
throughout the Palestinian territories free
elections for all be conducted under the
supervision of international organizations.
Ahmadinejad suggested that "..we must allow free
elections to happen in Palestine under the
supervision of the United Nations. And the
Palestinian people, the displaced Palestinian
people, or whoever considers Palestine its land,
can participate in free elections. And then
whatever happens as a result could happen."
Controversies
On 14 December 2005, Ahmadinejad made several
controversial statements about the Holocaust,
repeatedly referring to it as a "myth," as well
as criticizing European laws against Holocaust
denial. According to a report from Islamic
Republic of Iran Broadcasting, Ahmadinejad said,
referring to Europeans, "Today, they have
created a myth in the name of Holocaust and
consider it to be above God, religion and the
prophets." The quote has also translated as
"They have created a myth today that they call
the massacre of Jews and they consider it a
principle above God, religions and the
prophets."
In a 30 May 2006 interview with Der Spiegel,
Ahmadinejad insisted there were "two opinions"
on the Holocaust. When asked if the Holocaust
was a myth, he responded "I will only accept
something as truth if I am actually convinced of
it." He also said, "We are of the opinion that,
if a historical occurrence conforms to the
truth, this truth will be revealed all the more
clearly if there is more research into it and
more discussion about it". He then argued that
"most" scholars who recognized the existence of
the Holocaust are "politically motivated,"
stating that:
"...there are two opinions on this in Europe.
One group of scholars or persons, most of them
politically motivated, say the Holocaust
occurred. Then there is the group of scholars
who represent the opposite position and have
therefore been imprisoned for the most part."
In August 2006, the Iranian leader was reported
to have again cast doubt on the existence of the
Holocaust, this time in a letter to German
Chancellor Angela Merkel, where he wrote that
the Holocaust may have been invented by the
Allied powers to embarrass Germany. During
the same month, in a public speech that aired on
the Iranian News Channel (IRINN), Ahmadinejad
reportedly implied that Zionists may not be
human beings, saying “They have no boundaries,
limits, or taboos when it comes to killing human
beings. Who are they? Where did they come from?
Are they human beings? ‘They are like cattle,
nay, more misguided.’”
On 11 December 2006 the "International
Conference to Review the Global Vision of the
Holocaust" was held in Iran. The conference
was called for by and held at the request of Ahmadinejad.
Western media widely condemned the conference
and described it as a "Holocaust denial
conference" or a "meeting of Holocaust deniers",
though Iran maintained that it was not a
Holocaust denial conference, commenting the
conference was meant to "create an opportunity
for thinkers who cannot express their views
freely in Europe about the Holocaust".
In his September 2007 appearance at Columbia
University, Ahmadinejad stated "I'm not saying
that it didn't happen at all. This is not
judgment that I'm passing here" and that the
Holocaust should be left open to debate and
research like any other historical event.
At the 18 September 2009 Quds Day ceremonies in
Tehran, he stated that "the pretext for
establishing the Zionist regime is a lie, a lie
which relies on an unreliable claim, a mythical
claim, (as) the occupation of Palestine has
nothing to do with the Holocaust". He also
referred to the Holocaust as a sealed "black
box" asking why western powers refuse permission
for the claim to be "examined and surveyed". —
what the New York Times considered "among his
harshest statements on the topic," and one
immediately condemned by the US, UK, French and
German governments. Widely interpreted as
referring to the Holocaust, the media have been
criticized for lack of objectivity by reporting
the quote without context as it could equally be
interpreted as referring to Israel's Biblical
claims to the land of Palestine.
In response to some of Ahmadinejad's
controversial statements and actions, a variety
of sources, including the U.S. Senate, have
accused Ahmadinejad of anti-Semitism.
Ahmadinejad's September 2008 speech to the UN
General Assembly, in which he dwelled on what he
described as Zionist control of international
finance, was also denounced as "blatant
anti-Semitism" by German Foreign Minister
Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
American President Barack Obama posed a direct
challenge to Ahmadinejad during his June 2009
visit to Buchenwald concentration camp, saying
that Ahmadinejad "should make his own visit" to
the camp and that "[t]his place is the
ultimate rebuke to such thoughts, a reminder of
our duty to confront those who would tell lies
about our history".
On September 23, 2009, France led a walkout of a
dozen delegations, including the United States,
to protest a fiery speech by Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the UN General Assembly.
"It is disappointing that Mr Ahmadinejad has
once again chosen to espouse hateful, offensive
and anti-Semitic rhetoric," Mark Kornblau,
spokesman to the US mission to the United
Nations, said in a statement. Delegations from
Argentina, Australia, Britain, Costa Rica,
Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, New
Zealand and the United States left the room as
Ahmadinejad began to rail against Israel. Israel
had already called for a boycott of the speech,
and was not present when the Iranian leader
began his address. Canada had already said it
would heed the boycott call.
In his address, Ahmadinejad again took aim at
Israel without mentioning the country or Jews by
name, referring only to the "Zionist regime."
Suggesting there was a Jewish conspiracy,
Ahmadinejad added: "It is no longer acceptable
that a small minority would dominate the
politics, economy and culture of major parts of
the world by its complicated networks." And he
accused Jews of seeking to "establish a new form
of slavery, and harm the reputation of other
nations, even European nations and the US, to
attain its racist ambitions. |

President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad (Persian: محمود احمدی نژاد, born 28
October 1956) is the sixth and current President of the
Islamic Republic of Iran, and the main political leader
of the Alliance of Builders of Islamic Iran, a coalition
of conservative political groups in the country. An
engineer and teacher from a poor
background, Ahmadinejad joined the Office for
Strengthening Unity after the Islamic Revolution.
Appointed a provincial governor, he was removed after
the election of President Mohammad Khatami and returned
to teaching. Tehran's council appointed him mayor in
2003. He took a religious hard-line, reversing reforms
of previous moderate mayors. His 2005 presidential
campaign, supported by the Alliance of Builders of
Islamic Iran, and garnered 62% of the runoff election
votes, becoming President on 3 August 2005.
Ahmadinejad is a controversial figure both within Iran
and internationally. He has been criticized domestically
for his economic lapses and disregard for human rights.
He launched a gas rationing plan in 2007 to reduce the
country's fuel consumption, and cut the interest rates
private and public banking facilities could charge. He
supports Iran's nuclear energy program. His election to
a second term in 2009 was widely disputed and caused
widespread protests domestically and drew significant
international criticism. Major opposition parties,
traditional clerical circles and influential Iranian politicians
questioned the legitimacy of his presidency.
Ahmadinejad is an outspoken critic of the United States,
Israel, and European powers. He does not regard the
state of Israel as legitimate or representative of the
region's population. He advocates "free elections" for
the region, and believes Palestinians need a stronger
voice in the region's future. His comment initially
translated as calling for the "occupying regime" (taken
to mean Israel) to be "wiped off the map," caused
significant controversy, though its translation and
interpretation are disputed. He has also been criticized
for describing the Holocaust as a myth and accused of
making statements influenced by classic anti-Semitic
ideas, which has led to accusations of anti-Semitism. Ahmadinejad has
rejected accusations of anti-Semitism and Holocaust
denial, saying that he "respects Jews very much" and
that he was not "passing judgment" on the Holocaust.
Human rights
Several Western human rights organizations and
governments have criticized Ahmadinejad's human rights
record.
According to a report by the group Human Rights Watch,
"Since President Ahmadinejad came to power, treatment of
detainees has worsened in Evin Prison as well as in
detention centers operated clandestinely by the
Judiciary, the Ministry of Information, and the Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps." Again according to Human
Rights Watch, "Respect for basic human rights in Iran,
especially freedom of expression and assembly,
deteriorated in 2006. The government routinely tortures
and mistreats detained dissidents, including through
prolonged solitary confinement." Human Rights Watch
described the source of human rights violations in
contemporary Iran as coming from the Judiciary,
accountable to Ali Khamenei, and from members directly
appointed by Ahmadinejad.
Responses to dissent have varied. Human Rights Watch
writes that "the Ahmadinejad government, in a pronounced
shift from the policy under former president Mohammed
Khatami, has shown no tolerance for peaceful protests
and gatherings." In December 2006, Ahmadinejad advised
officials not to disturb students who engaged in a
protest during a speech of his at the Amirkabir
University of Technology in Tehran, although
speakers at other protests have included among their
complaints that there had been a crackdown on dissent at
universities since Ahmadinejad was elected.
In April 2007, the Tehran police, which is under
Khamenei's supervision, began a crackdown on women with
"improper hijab." This led to criticism from associates
of Ahmadinejad.
Nuclear program
Ahmadinejad has been a vocal supporter of Iran's nuclear
program, and has insisted that it is for peaceful
purposes. He has repeatedly emphasized that building a
nuclear bomb is not the policy of his government. He has
said that such a policy is "illegal and against our
religion." He also added at a January 2006 conference in
Tehran that a nation with "culture, logic and
civilization" would not need nuclear weapons, and that
countries that seek nuclear weapons are those which want
to solve all problems by the use of force. In
a 2008 interview Ahmadinejad elaborated that countries
striving to obtain nuclear weapons are politically
backward nations and those who possess them and
continually make new generations of such bombs are "even
more backward".
In April 2006, Ahmadinejad announced that Iran had
successfully refined uranium to a stage suitable for the
nuclear fuel cycle. In a speech to students and
academics in Mashhad, he was quoted as saying that
Iran's conditions had changed completely as it had
become a nuclear state and could talk to other states
from that stand.[108] On 13 April 2006, Iranian news
agency, IRNA, quoted Ahmadinejad as saying that the
peaceful Iranian nuclear technology would not pose a
threat to any party because "we want peace and stability
and we will not cause injustice to anyone and at the
same time we will not submit to injustice."
Nevertheless, Iran's nuclear policy under Ahmadinejad's
administration has received much criticism, spearheaded
by the United States and Israel. The accusations include
that Iran is striving to obtain nuclear arms and
developing long-range firing capabilities, and that
Ahmadinejad issued an order to keep UN inspectors from
freely visiting the nation's nuclear facilities and
viewing their designs, a move which would be in defiance
of an IAEA resolution. Following a
May 2009 test launch of a long-range missile, Ahmadinejad
was quoted as telling the crowd that with its nuclear
program, Iran was sending the West a message that “the
Islamic Republic of Iran is running the show.”
Despite Ahmadinejad's vocal support for the program, the
office of the Iranian president is not directly
responsible for nuclear policy. It is instead set by the
Supreme National Security Council. The council includes
two representatives appointed by the Supreme Leader,
military officials, and members of the executive,
judicial, and legislative branches of government, and
reports directly to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who
issued a fatwa against nuclear weapons in 2005.. Khamenei has criticized Ahmadinejad's
"personalization" of the nuclear issue.
Ahmadinejad vowed on February 2008, that Iran will not
be held back from developing its peaceful nuclear
program and has stated that at least 16 different
peaceful uses for nuclear technology have so far been
identified. In a 2009 interview, when asked by
reporter Ann Curry whether he would rule out an Iranian
nuclear bomb in the future, he responded: "We have no
need for nuclear weapons." When Curry retorted, "So, may
I assume, then, your answer to that question is 'no'?" Ahmadinejad repeated his answer, adding "Without such
weapons, we are very much able to defend ourselves."
Curry then warned Ahmadinejad that "people will remark
that you did not say no." To which Ahmadinejad
responded, "You can take from this whatever you want,
madam.
Relations with Israel
On 26 October 2005 Ahmadinejad gave a speech at a
conference in Tehran entitled "World Without Zionism".
According to widely published translations, he agreed
with a statement he attributed to Ayatollah Khomeini
that the "occupying regime" had to be removed, and
referred to it as a "disgraceful stain [on] the Islamic
world", that needed to be "wiped from the pages of
history."
Ahmadinejad's comments were condemned by major Western
governments, the European Union, Russia, the United
Nations Security Council and then UN Secretary General
Kofi Annan. Egyptian, Turkish and Palestinian
leaders also expressed displeasure over Ahmadinejad's
remark. Canada's then Prime Minister Paul Martin
said, “this threat to Israel's existence, this call for
genocide coupled with Iran's obvious nuclear ambitions
is a matter that the world cannot ignore.”
The translation of his statement has been
disputed. Iran's foreign minister stated that
Ahmadinejad had been "misunderstood": "He is
talking about the regime. We do not recognise
legally this regime." Some experts state
that the phrase in question (بايد از صفحه روزگار
محو شود) is
more accurately translated as "eliminated" or "wiped
off" or "wiped away" from "the page of time" or "the
pages of history", rather than "wiped off the map". |
