Staggeringly idiotic, stunningly hateful, and quickly becoming standard fare in Iranian political rhetoric.
Advisor to President Ahmadinejad claims Nazi leader was Jew who conspired with USSR and Britain to establish Jewish state
In the interview, translated by MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute) Mohammad-Ali Ramin, a chief aide to Ahmadinejad, told Baztab that Hitler's paternal grandmother was a Jewish prostitute and his father even kept his Jewish name until finally changing it to Hitler when he was 40.
Ramin also claimed that the reason Hitler developed such an aversion to Judaism was because his Jewish mother was a promiscuous woman. Hitler therefore, says Ramin, tried to escape his religion.
The Iranian government continues to point an outward finger to the infidels as the source of the world's problems and to justify it's own nuclear build up. The heated oration is needed to establish the subjugation of Muslim nations deeper into a Taliban style theocracy.
Ahmadinejad's threats towards Israel and the United States are becoming so numerous and outrageous that they are beginning to sound like white noise, but we ignore the static at our peril. Ahmadinejad's comments to the UN today;
"Let the world know that from the Iranian nation's point of view, this resolution has no validity," He said the United States was the main power behind the resolution, and warned Washington: "I want you to know that the Iranian nation has humiliated you many times, and it will humiliate you in future."
He then hints at what he thinks is the future;
"If all the powers that supported Saddam in his war against Iran were
to regroup and confront Iran again, Iranians would deliver a historic
slap in their face."
These are not the words of a peaceful solution from a peaceful man. Iran is suffering from a weak economy, "Iinflation is officially at 12 percent but thought to be much higher, and an estimated 3 million people are unemployed." and is willing to let it's own people suffer in order to make a first strike at Israel, extort money from the UN and create what Ahmadinejad believes is the path to the Mahdi , the fabled Islamic messiah who is thought to turn the entire world into an Islamic paradise;
The 6th Shi'a Imam, Jafar al-Sadiq, is reported to have said:
Before the appearance of the one who will rise, peace be upon him, the people will be reprimanded for their acts of disobedience by a fire that will appear in the sky and a redness that will cover the sky. It will swallow up Baghdad, and will swallow up Kufa. Their blood will be shed and houses destroyed. Death will occur amid their people and a fear will come over the people of Iraq from which they shall have no rest."
With Bagdad and Kufa being occupied by the coalition forces, Amadinejad may look to this text as a prophesy partially fullfilled, and he may see Iran as the source of "fire
that will appear in the sky and a redness that will cover the sky."
Does Ahmadinejad truly beleive that he is going to reveal the Mahdi? It wouldn't be the first time Muslims have followed someone claiming to be the Mahdi, and it wouldn't be the first time blood was shed in order to fulfill Islamic prophecy.
Mohammed Ahmad made a claim to be the promised Mahdi. His troops laid siege to
Khartoum starting on March 13, 1884 against the defenders led by
British General Charles George Gordon.
The heavily damaged city fell to the Mahdists on January 26, 1885.
Muhammad Ahmad died later that same year, but the Mahdist state he
created lasted until 1899, when the British once again took control of
Sudan.
It's also notable that Mohammad-Ali Ramin has Mahdi-like features described by the Sunni's, fair skin, a broad forhead and prominent nose. History has a nasty habit of repeating itself.
