Turkish Press On Fire After Ayatollah’s Call To Unite Under the Mahdi
Yeni Shafak: Mahdi Comes, Be Ready To Fight!
Radikal: “O Muslims, let’s join the Mahdi is coming!
İslami Deccal isimli kitabı yeni yayınlanan yazar Joel Richardson, “Mehdi inancı, daha çok Şii Müslümanlar arasında yaygındır, ancak İran’da Mahmud Ahmedinejad’ın Cumhurbaşkanı seçilmesiyle siyasi bir anlam yüklenmeye başlandı” dedi. Nitekim, 2008’de Ahmedinejad, İran’ı İmam Mehdi’nin yönettiğini söylemiş, Mollalar Mehdi’nin siyasallaşmasına karşı çıkmıştı.Hatta bir Molla, “Allah korusun, Mehdi’nin hükümetin işlerini desteklediğini söylemek yanlıştır. İmam Mehdi, yüzde 20’lik enflasyonu ya da ülkemizdeki hataları desteklemez” demişti.

Hurriyet is a secular newspaper. They wrote that to urge their secular readers!

Be careful Joel…
It is NEVER good to have your name appear in a newspaper!
But also remember, the safest place you can possibly be is the Center of God’s Will - and I believe you are smack-dab in the middle!
Keep up the good work!

Using Google’s language translator, the above text reads:
Islamic newly published book author Joel Richardson named Dajjal “Mahdi belief is more prevalent among Shiite Muslims, but in Iran, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was to be installed on selecting a political sense,” he said. Indeed, in 2008 Ahmadinejad, said Iran had managed Imam Mahdi, Mahdi Mollalar çıkmıştı.Hatta against political a Mullah, “Allah bless, Mahdi said the government is wrong to support their work. Imam Mahdi, or 20 percent inflation in our country do not support error “he said.

This is a great site to bookmark for Muslims called “Path-of-Peace a dialogue for Muslims.” It explains Christianity through their perspective.
Take a look and see what you think:

Joel,
What do you make of the Turkish media attention being played to this story of Kahmeni’s call for Islamic unification in preparation for the revelation of the Mahdi? In your opinion is this unusual or mark a departure/ change for Turkish secular media?

David,
They seem to be reporting on it with a measure of interest and perhaps trepidation. Wondering why Iran is calling on Turkey which is to a degree the odd man out in the list of nations that Iran mentioned. Normally considered a fairly western oriented nation. But apparently this is the first time that the Mahdi has been mentioned so prominantly in the Turkish Media. Its been on TV and numerous newspapers. Particularly strange to see my name quoted.

What’s also interesting is how confusion could be perpetuated through the misuse of terminology, assuming Google Translate to be accurate.
It makes it seem as though Joel has named the Dajjal, which is a very different matter from what Joel is actually doing.

This gave me thee willies. The text was hard to follow but what I could follow was eerie. Obviously the Ayatollah is confident in the soon appearnace of the mahdi, he has met him, or has a strong insider connection to the one he believes to be the mahdi. The inclusion of Turkey is also quite fascinating. But I am also skeptical. This may be a politically expedient act to try and manipulate the people of Iran using Islam, this could effectively squelch the revolution taking place right now in the persian republic.
One other interesting thing was that the text says “El Mahdi” instead of “Al Mahdi” this is fascinating because “El” means “God”. So it is easy to see now why the Mahdi will “declare himself to be God in the temple, he is in essence a false go himself.
Joel be careful, you could be in danger. Love ya bro!

ALL!
One - my wife is Turkish and speaks fluent Turkish/Arabic etc. And so I’ll be having her translate the articles to me soon. BUT - also, if any of you are following this closly (And you had better) —- Why TURKEY!!
For one - they have NUKES and an EXTREMELY LARGE and WELL trained Military - on of the best trained in the world…..
Also - it is home of Adnan Oktar (AKA - Harun Yahya) and I’d advise ALL become extremely FAMILIAR with this guy - as he the one whom recently spent time with Jewish Rabbies supporting the Rebuilt Jewish Temple. Note that HE is at heart extremely ANTI- JEWISH/ANTI-ZIONIST - but supposedly recently had a change of heart. I HIGHLY ADVISE ALL to THOROUGHLY REVIEW THE FOLLOWING ARTICLES AND SITES —-
