Question:

Americans by and large, especially including the American President, do not seem to recognize the nihilistic “end of days” foundation of Iran’s desire for nuclear weapons.

Americans don’t understand – or don’t WANT to understand – that according to Shia Islam, a world catastrophe (such as a nuclear war) will bring the arrival of the Mahdi, who will then convert the remaining survivors to Islam and thus bring about world peace.

Do most Israelis understand this? Do THEY recognize the urgency of destroying the Iranian nuclear project even though Americans – especially liberals – don’t?
