Some say he is an "unhinged" crazy man. Here is an article that maintains that he is not. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not "unhinged". He is a sincere man with deeply held religious beliefs. It would be wise for all to understand this man's religious beliefs. Read about it here. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/7460 What is your opinion of this man's deeply and sincerely held religious beliefs?

He is a fanatic who believes that he is following Allah's will and no amount of reasoning or negotiation is going to influence him or his beliefs. He has already got a clear plan in place and his goals are set. These people who want us to talk and reason do not understand that someone like this can not be reasoned with. They do not understand the situation, and do not understand fanatics. This is why Iran can never be allowed to develop nuclear weapons, and this is also why he should not be catered to in any way. We may consider him insane by our standards, but by his standards we are to be destroyed along with everyone else who does not believe the way he does. His fanaticism makes him dangerous, as he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He truly believes that he is following Allah's will and everything he does has Allah's blessing. The whole live and let live philosophy will not work with him, and he will not allow that either. Eventually he will have to be dealt with.

As has been said before. You can not convince a man that he is wrong when he believes God has told him he is right.

I'm not a fan of him ,on the contrary but on some things he said he is right,but we don't like that sort of truth. The holocaust is not the fault of the palestinians but the Germans he said,someone told he denies the Holocaust. I don't understand this on this words,but maybe it's some fault of the translation in his words. Maybe he's a great fanatic and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals , but I believe he's not fanatic enough to do things that should hurt himself very much like to stop for delivering oil for the $ ,this should hurt not only the western world who needs this oil (oil from a fanatic and evil man ,but we still wants to be depend on them) but even him who needs this money (The bad and evil currency of the US),he's not Allah or God who has no interest in material things they always told us. But when you go to the church the first thing they want is your money.

Funily enough, Ahamdinejad is the first lay-man to take the Presidency in the Iran ;). I think....he's one of the best inventions of the State Department. I mean, after Saddam, we needed someone who could say all the correct threatening things and hey....he actually stepped into the role quite nicely.

Well, if his real opinions can be exposed, perhaps he'll be such a laughing stock of the world that no one will take him serious. Then it won't matter to the world if he is around or not.

"He's one of the best inventions of the State Department." The President of Iran truely is harming his country's stature in the world to the point that he could be a creation and tool of his nation's enemies. However, I don't think the State Department is that good. Hope I'm wrong! Tigertang, your suggestion really is not outlandish. The CIA, Stalin, the People's Republic of China and others have harmed their enemies by covertly helping foolish leaders to gain control of the enemy country.

Hello Redyellowblackdog, Thanks for sharing this article. It is very helpful to understand what movitates those who've declared their intent to purge the Earth of our unclean influence. One cannot outsmart, or defeat an enemy unless we know well his motivations. That's how to find the Achille's Heel!

Yes, I've tried to explain to people that this man would use nuclear weapons to cause the apocalypse so as to usher in the return of the 12th imman. People I tell this to think I'm the crazy one, not ol' Achmed! Maybe this article will help to promote true understanding.

What I did not see in this particular article, which has long interested me, is how he communicates with the "Lost Imam". Apparently, he writes questions on little scraps of paper, then drops them down the well. Then he waits for an answer. I give him credit for his obvious patience.

Hello ladyluna, I have added prophecies part, at last:-). It is random and picked from various sources (The Quran, 6 Hadith books of Sunnis, 4 Hadith books of Shias and some other works as well as speeches and lectures of Shia Imams between 7th and 9th Century CE) that I have read in years. I don't remember the exact references but I can furnish, if you wish so.

although i dont trust the biased website.. i dont think he is "crazy".. he is just freakin evil.. and he is smart. im telling you, i would rather not have him have a debate with bush.. because however crazy he may be.. he is sure as hell alot smarter than bush. i think the only stupid thing he said without backing it up was that they have no gays in iran.. which is obviously true, because they kill them all.. haha.

Evil and smart describe the President of Iran very well. I agree with you. Even the remarks about gays in Iran actually were not stupid. Just too clever. However, anyone who has listened to enough BS over the years can hear the doublespeak, and code phrases used by Mahmoud Amadinejad. He may have helped his cause back in Iran, but not here in the USA. I would warn and remind this man that just as Ronald Reagan had practically the entire Iranian Navy sunk in the 1980's, George W. Bush could do it again as well as destroy their Air Force. Cost in USA equipment and personnel would be almost zero.

Uh huh... Well, people can say whatever to make this guy seem like a saint, but I'm still stuck on the 'I'll wipe out all enemies (Israel, America, etc) and wouldn't mind if it cost half of my countrymen to do it.' But of course, things like that, no one really cares about. The agenda has no time to look at real problems of the world, just set up fake charade bickering over nothing while the world continues to slip.

Hello TheProGamer, While I agree with you that it would be distinctly improbable to make Ajmadineejad into "a saint", I would also offer the observation that "the devil's in the details". We have a growing number of undereducated, poor Americans, who over the last three decades have adopted Islam, because of its message of peace, and promise of reward in the afterlife. That's to say nothing of the converts in the Pacific Rim. This is quite troubling for a number of reasons. However, the primary reason for me, is that according to Islam, only Allah or his apostalates (i.e. Imams) are endowed with the right to create law. Hmmm, if only Allah's laws are legitimate, what does that do to a Representative Republic, who by its very creation, is endowed with the responsibility to write the 'law of men'.
