"Noted Middle Eastern scholar Bernard Lewis warns that Iran is preparing for an apocalyptic "end of time” – and that it could come as soon as August 22.
The July 28 edition of NewsMax’s Insider Report pointed to the connection between that date, when Iran leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said his country would respond to Western demands regarding Iran’s nuclear program, and a possible attack on Israel.
Now Lewis, professor emeritus of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton, writes about that scenario. He notes in the Wall Street Journal that this year, August 22 corresponds, in the Islamic calendar, to the night when Muhammad flew first to "the farthest mosque” – usually identified with Jerusalem – and then to heaven and back.
"This might well be deemed an appropriate date for the apocalyptic ending of Israel and if necessary the world,” writes Lewis, whose most recent book is "From Babel to Dragomans: Interpreting the Middle East.”

I have also heard from others that this date is considered to be a day that symbolizes the unity of world religions and so they see it as a hopeful sign. Just depends on who you listen to I guess.

Muslims don't use the Gregorian calendar, but it corresponds with the Ancension in Islam

I hope that Iran detonates a nuke or two in Israel. Bring them down a peg or two, let them realize that they aren't the only country thats got some technology.

You always seem to contradict yourself, Helmut. I thought the only thing you didn't like about Israel was "white support" for it.

Why don't you do me a favor and show me a contradiction? UTFSE and see where you can find me claiming that I wanted Israel to exist. I couldn't care less WHO wins over there, but I think that world jewry/zionism is a bigger threat than some whacko nutjob camel fuckers.

here's a link that seems to confirm it is indeed a veiled threat worthy of attacking them before the date

People said the Jews caused the Plague, the poor German economy before WWII, and etc. Us, the educated people will never take people like you seriously. We know our history and know of the bullshit that Jews were accused of so your opinions are history.
You will become history and join the ranks of the same people who spewed bullshit and then ended up wrong, heh.
