Christian Group Warns: Iran Wants to Hit Israel First, U.S. Next

Washington was inundated with thousands of Christians last week, but unlike their usual marches to protest abortion rights and other social issues, these Christians had something else in mind: U.S. Middle East policy.

In fact, many seemed not to notice the hot, humid, cloudy weather — a typical July day in Washington — as they prepared to lobby Congress. They had just been energized by the preaching of Pastor John Hagee, who delivered an impassioned speech the night before in support of Israel.

While a quiet man of gentle disposition, Hagee, who leads the 19,000-strong Cornerstone Church in San Antonio and heads Christians United for Israel, can quickly whip up the faithful. His words, while rich in biblical citation and religious imagery, aren't minced.

"It is clear that Israel is in the greatest danger she has faced since six Arab armies tried to strangle the Jewish state in the birth canal in 1948," Hagee told the crowd at the conference's Night to Honor Israel gala. The event also featured former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu among others.

"The head of the beast of radical Islam in the Middle East is Iran and its fanatical president, Ahmadinejad," he continued. "Ahmadinejad believes if he starts a world war, the Islamic messiah will mysteriously appear and produce a global Islamic theocratic dictatorship.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are reliving history. It's 1938 all over again," he said. "Iran is Germany. Ahmadinejad is Hitler and Ahmadinejad, just like Hitler, is talking about killing the Jews."

FauxNews and delusional xtians kults working hand in hand. what a chemical romance that is.

SEPARATION means keep your damned nose (and your SHEEP) out of politics.

"While a quiet man of gentle disposition, Hagee,"

What a crock.....Hagee is anything but quiet and gentle.

Go back to playing with your fucking snakes.

We're supposed to attack Iran now? :eyes:

Surprise...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qiyama#The_Mahdi

The coming of the Mahdi (also Mehdi and meaning "the divinely guided one"), which precedes the Second Coming of Isa (Jesus), triggers the redemption of Islam and the defeat of its enemies. The exact nature of the Mahdi differs between Shi'ah Muslims and Sunni Muslims, but both agree that Isa (Jesus) and the Mahdi work together to fight evil in the world and to cement justice on Earth. Will unite the Muslims and true Christians under true Islam and abolish Jizya.

Hmmm.. sounds to me like that would make the Mahdi one of the good guys, from a Christian perspective... then again, Hagee and his ilk clearly think that a "global theocratic dictatorship" would serve to "cement justice on Earth". :scared:

Oh the bible told em so ???!!!!
Geeeeeeezzzzzuzzzzz.

like so many civilian fanatics did in the original Crusades. Methinks their blustering would cease if they were told to fight or shut up.

Oh, and the US military should not give them a bit of help...after all, it is the Christian Dominionists that want the overthrow of Islamic ME countries. Let them march through the desert to their demise, just as their spiritual ancestors did.
