According to the threats of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, he has promised to unleash his wrath on the western powers in celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the Islamic revolution. Of course, February 11, 2010 came and went and the attack never came, so was there any reason to fear or was it just an idle threat?
Historically, the first warnings of Islamic attacks on America were forwarded to President Reagan in 1986 but the first World Trade Center attack didn’t come until 1993.
Don’t doubt for a minute that the threats of Iran are just ranting, they are very real and unless stopped will eventually be carried out. The 20th Anniversary of the Islamic takeover of Iran was the beginning of the war on terror and in the words of the Ayatollah Khomeini it was a “war of Islam against the world.”
Muslim eschatology is a major component of 12th Imam. Their Messiah must return to the world to right all wrong and the triggering of a global conflict will hasten his return.
Sadly, threats with specific dates have a tendency to affect the stock market, oil prices, and other elements, but when they don’t come to pass, most people are lulled to sleep.
So, Iran will continue to spew hate-filled rhetoric and set more dates, all the while negotiating with the west and simultaneously preparing for nuclear war. Regardless of the actual date, barring some type of intervention the war between Islam and the world is ready to explode.
