1. I heard.....
That the Iranian goverment has an 800 line for people to call in and hear about "the end days". Apparently the Muslims have a Messiah coming to. Wouldn't it be funny if they started putting clerics on TV. TeleIslamism.......LOL

This article is about the Shia Imam. For the Abbasid Caliph, see Al-Mahdi.
Muhammad al-Mahdi (born 868) (Arabic:محمد المهدى) is the twelfth and final Shi'a Imam. He is the person believed by Shi'as to be the Mahdi; a figure considered by both Sunnis and Shias to be the ultimate saviour of humankind. Shi'as and Sunnis differ on the identity of the Mahdi, with Shi'as believing that he was born in 868 and has been hidden by God (referred to as occultation) to later emerge to fulfill his mission. Sunnis believe that he is yet to be born. Both divisions however, believe that he will bring absolute peace and justice throughout the world by establishing Islam as the global religion. As such, the personality and account of Muhammad al-Mahdi in this article is one that is believed only by Shi'as. For a general overview of the Mahdi as accepted by the various divisions in Islam, see Mahdi.

But then again, Tim Lahaye is a false prophet (or is it profit?).
