Pictured: That’s the Jamkaran Mosque in Qom under renovations several years ago that were ordered by the then newly elected mayor of Tehran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

What this story doesn’t tell you is the significance of Qom.

Qom is where the Jamkaran Mosque is. When Ahmadinejad became Mayor of Tehran he authorized $15 million to refurbish the Jamkaran Mosque in Qom, and he had a railway built from Tehran to the Jamkaran Mosque in Qom.

In back of the Jamkaran Mosque in Qom is a deep well. Not just any well, but the well where most shia muslims believe their savior, the 12th Imam, Al Mahdi, has been hiding in “occultation” for the last 1200 years or so. Every week people are allowed to approach the well, which is covered and has a little slot in the little green hatchway that is attended by a few guys. People write down their little prayers and roll them up and hand them to the attendants and the attendants drop the rolled up papers in the little slot where supposedly the Imam Al Mahdi gets them and decides what to do with them.

They believe that one day, when great chaos is occuring in the Middle East, like a war, the Imam Al Mahdi will come up out of that well.

He will then board the train to Tehran…

…and set up the global caliphate which he will rule the world with for 1000 years, using the Sword of Allah.

Oh yeah, Jesus is supposed to come back same time and they are supposed to set Islam and Christianity “right” again.

Jesus is going to kick his ass someday. Because Imam Al Mahdi is a false christ.

But we’re meandering over into eschatological things which are so controversial and truly unknown in detail.

But Mookie’s in Qom! Gonna stay awhile. Follow their thinking…

How much you wanna bet their expecting Mookie to be the envoy that welcomes Al Mahdi and escorts him to Tehran when he appears. After the chaos starts.

Which Iran will start.

With a nuke.

Mookie’s trying get a little more “holy” in preparation. Here’s the news story from AKI:

Baghdad, 12 March (AKI) – The Shia imam Moqtada al-Sadr has reportedly travelled to the holy city of Qom in Iran to further his Islamic studies.

Iraqi sources from the holy city of Najaf revealed the move by the radical cleric to the Arab daily, al-Sharq al-Awsat.

This could be why the radical leader has not been seen in public for around eight months.

But the news came as the US claimed to have killed a number of militants linked to al-Sadr’s Mehdi Army in the mainly-Shia Muslim city of Kut in southern Iraq.

Local medics said at least 17 people were killed, including five children, during gun battles between troops and Mehdi Army militia on Tuesday.

Police said the fighting in Kut was located in three areas considered to be strongholds of the Mehdi Army which supports Moqtada al-Sadr.

In the last few days some of al-Sadr’s supporters have been arrested not only in Najaf but also in Karbala and in Samawa.

Because of his silence and the decision to extend his truce with US troops, some of his supporters are understood to have left his Shia group to form new radical groups.

Iraq has recorded an increase in violence since January, including suicide and car bombings, despite a sharp overall decline in attacks in the past eight months, the Pentagon said on Tuesday.

The rise in violence was partly as a result of recent US-led offensives against Islamist militants, including al-Qaeda in Iraq.

US officials say attacks have dropped more than 60 percent because of the surge in American forces, the emergence of Sunnis allied with the US against al-Qaeda, improvements in the Iraqi army and a ceasefire declaration by al-Sadr.
