I thought Glenn Beck had an interesting thought this week. I can’t remember it verbatim so I’ll have to paraphrase it.

.

The Media always look at what world leaders say and do through the prism of politics. They automatically assume that anything they say or do is done for political expedience. They never consider religion as a part of the mix. They simply assume that all world leaders want the same things we want and will do any say what they need to do and say to get it and their rhetoric shouldn’t be taken seriously.

.

George Bush makes no secret of the fact that he is a Christian. And Christians are waiting for the return of the Messiah (Jesus). Well, what if George Bush went to the U.N to make a speech and started off with a ten minute prayer asking God to speed the return of the Messiah? Then he went on to assure his listeners that he wanted world peace but was convinced that world peace could only be accomplished after the Messiah returns.

.

Then, in an effort to bring about world peace, Bush went back to Washington and appeared before Congress and made a speech that began with the same prayer, asking God to hasten the return of the Messiah. Then he told Congress that he was convinced that the Messiah will return within the next twelve months and that he had a plan that would hasten His return thus bringing on world peace.

.

The Bible tells us that the Messiah won’t return until after the Anti-Christ is discovered and destroyed in a massive war where millions of people are going to be killed. Since Bush is convinced that Iran, led by Ahmadinejad, is the anti-Christ, he believes that he can hasten the return of the Messiah by starting a war with Iran using nuclear weapons. Sure, millions of people would die. But most of them would be non-Christians anyway. And after the war was over the Messiah would return and bring peace to the world with the U.S. in charge. Then he asked Congress to appropriate money to prepare Washington, DC for the Messiah’s arrival.

.

How do you think the media in the country would react if George Bush did something like that? They would be having cat-fits all over the place. Every headline in every newspaper in the world would condemn him. Then they would do everything possible to remove Bush from office.

.

Well friends, there is someone in the world doing all of those things right now. The only difference is that it’s a Muslim doing it. And it isn’t Ahmadinejad’s Iran who is the anti-Christ. It’s the United States, regardless of who is president. And instead of Jesus, he is waiting for the Muslim equivalent of the Messiah known as the Mahdi.

.

The person doing those things is Iran’s president, MAHMOUD AMADINEJAD. He prays for the speedy arrival of the Mahdi before every one of his speeches. He tells the world that the only way world peace can be accomplished is for the Mahdi to return quickly. Then he urges his listeners to embrace Islam. If you don’t believe me, listen to the speeches he gave at the U.N.

.

Ahmadinejad is so convinced that he can speed up the Mahdi’s arrival by creating the world chaos that must occur before the Mahdi’s return that he has ordered everyone in Tehran to make the city ready for the Mahdi’s return. That means getting rid of anyone who refuses to obey Sharia Law. The result has been wholesale hangings, beheadings, and stoneings. Construction cranes in Iran are used more as mobile gallows than they are in construction. Women are stoned daily for the most trivial violations. There are no homosexuals in Iran because they kill them.

.

Now, here’s the kicker. Ahmadinejad is convinced that the alliance between the United States and Israel is the evil that he must destroyed before the Mahdi will return. He even calls us the "Great Satan."

.

Ahmadinejad is convinced that he can speed up the return of the Mahdi by using nuclear weapons to create the world chaos that will destroy the Great Satan. And, he plans to start this chaos by, first, destroying Israel. He knows that doing this will bring the United States into the war. But he feels that Allah will give them victory over the U.S. too.

. 

How can he possibly think that? Well, think about this. Islamists in Iran ousted the Shah after the U.S. had promised to protect him and the U.S. did nothing. They took the embassy hostages and held them for over a year and the United States did nothing. Carter’s feeble rescue attempt ended in a disaster. They recently kidnaped some British soldiers and suffered no consequences at all. They have been openly developing nuclear weapons and calling for the destruction of Israel and the United States and we have done nothing. They have been thumbing their noses at the West for years and suffered no consequences. So why shouldn’t he think he can get away with it? He believes the reason Iran got away with those things in the past without any consequences is because Allah was protecting them from the Great Satan. So, he feels very comfortable in drawing the U.S. and Israel into a nuclear confrontation because he thinks Allah will see to it that he’ll win. And so what if some Muslims die. They’ll all die as martyrs and go to heaven with 72 virgins to play with.

.

Sure, he’s a nut job. So was Hitler. And we ignored him too and look what happened. But there were no nuclear weapons in 1939. You see, whether that stuff is actually true or not, Ahmadinejad GENUINELY BELIEVES that it is true. And that’s all that matters. And therein lies the problem. We’re ignoring him.

. 

Ahmadinejad isn’t keeping his beliefs a secret. But the same Media that would want to hang George Bush – OR ANY OTHER Christian for that matter – for doing those things actually embraces the man who is REALLY DOING THEM. We give him a platform to speak at Columbia University. The students there applauded him. They’re worried that the president of Columbia University may have hurt his feelings. He wants to kill us and we’re worried about being rude to him. That is sheer madness.

. 

Didn’t Hitler teach us anything? The Media insists on looking as what Ahmadinejad says and does through the prism of political rhetoric. They think that the things he is saying are so outrageous that he couldn’t possibly be serious about them. They fail to see that this is this man’s religion, and when he says he wants to wipe Israel off the face of the earth in one day and then destroy America HE IS DEAD SERIOUS.

. 

Benjamin Netanyahu was once asked what the Holocaust had taught him. His answered, "When someone says he wants to kill you, believe him."

. 

When are we going to start believing Ahmadinejad when he says he wants to kill us? We need to stop ignoring Iran. But, not only are we ignoring him, the Left in this country is embracing him. Why? Because he hates George Bush as much as they do. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

.

Well, we better wise up soon. Our very survival depends on it. If Ahmadinejad wins, the ones who are applauding him today will be the first ones beheaded.
