Chapter 2: The Antichrist Moqtada al-Sadr

Let it be shown.  If any man has wisdom let him know the beast.  For the beast is the number of a man.  And his number is six hundred and sixty six.        Revelation 13:18

His followers call al-Sadr the Mahdi, for the Mahdi is the guided one. He will lead his people against the 'infidels', as prophesied by the Shi'a faith. The Mahdi followers, the Mahdi army, prepare the way for the end of this world. But even if you don't believe prophecies, take a look at these cold hard facts: His followers call him by the revered name 'martyr imam' Imam is reserved for the holiest of holy men in the country. He is the son and the nephew of the two previous Imam Ayatollahs of Iraq. He is also a direct descendant of the prophet Mohammed. He is the Imam or Grand Ayatollah of Iraq!
