Christopher Hitchens On Ahmadinejad

Posted on May 3, 2006

What bothers me about Ahmadinejad is the same thing that bothers Christopher Hitchens.

No, what worries me more about Ahmadinejad is his devout belief in the return of the “occulted” or 12th imam and his related belief that, when he himself spoke recently at the United Nations, the whole scene was suffused with a sublime green light that held all his audience in a state of suspended animation. This uncultured jerk is, of course, only a puppet figure with no real power, but this choice of puppet by the theocracy is unsettling in itself. So is Iran’s complete lack of embarrassment at being caught, time and again, with nuclear enrichment facilities that have never been declared to the inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Read the whole thing.

Wow, in the article he attacks Juan Cole, and it turns into a blog war. Iowahawk sums it up in a very humerous way today.

Ahmadinejad also claims to personally communicate with this “12th imam” regularly and firmly believes it’s his place to usher in endtimes events (the unholy Quran roughly coincides with Bible endtime prophecies except, as you might expect, Israel is totally destroyed.)
As God controls all things, maybe He is allowing Satan to use this dim-witted wack-job and his evil government to fulfill prophecy, I don’t know. But one thing I do know is this guy is deluded and evil and his actions are going to cause probably hundreds of thousands of deaths, many of which will be his own people.
I hope Allah is stocking Paradise with plenty of doe-eyed virgins.
