Iranian Lunacy: What Would Jesus Do?
Ahmadinejad is talking again, and every time I think he's said something so completely insane that he couldn't be madder, he says something else.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has sent a greeting to the world's Christians for the coming New Year, in which he has linked Christianity's deity, Jesus, with the Shiite messianic figure, Imam Mahdi, saying he expected both to return and "wipe away oppression." "I wish all the Christians a very happy new year and I wish to ask them a question as well," the Iranian leader said, according to the Iranian Student News Agency. "My one question from the Christians is: What would Jesus do if he were present in the world today? What would he do before some of the oppressive powers of the world who are in fact residing in Christian countries? Which powers would he revive and which of them would he destroy?" the Iranian president asked. "If Jesus were present today, who would be facing him and who would be following him?" he added. |
Is he implying that the Christian Messiah is really "Jihad Jesus"? You must be joking!
(And now the world's irate Christians will go on a multinational spree of violent street protests, car-burnings, and riots. Or not. I for one am much too busy with baking holiday cookies, going Christmas shopping, singing holiday carols, and decorating Christmas trees to go a-rioting, thanks.)
As for Ahmadinejad's holiday greetings, I do NOT accept them.
