Only Arab Leaders Can Prevent Netanyahu's Impending Attack on Nuclear Iran

In the September 2010 Atlantic there is a teeth rattling eleven page ominous essay about all of the reasons it is in Israel's best interest to imminently attack Iran's impending nuclear capabilities with or without U.S. approval. The articles' title is The Point of No Return. On the cover page of the magazine in bold black red and white letters are the fearful words: Israel is Getting Ready To Bomb Iran-How, Why and What It Means.

The author, who is most likely Jewish, Jeffery Goldberg, has for whatever reasons, amazing access to top decision makers in the upper echelons of the four key actors in this potential world shaking scenario. U.S. White House Personnel; the top decision makers in Israel including Bibi Netanyahu; several high level Arab decision makers from a variety of nations including the UAE. He only quoted observations from the fourth main principal, Iran, without having extensive interviews with Iranian officials.

This direct 2001 quote from former Iranian President, Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, has given me more sympathy for the tremendous desperation and fear by the entire Israeli community than I previously had. I had been skeptical that their fear was exaggerated. I should have obviously been aware of the following Iranian reasoning which sets a terrifying tone for the article. But somehow this quote that I know I had previously read and heard did not appropriately resonate the fear for Israel that I should have felt.

Rafsanjani all too accurately and callously observed in 2003:

"The use of an atomic bomb against Israel would destroy Israel completely while a nuclear attack against the Islamic countries would only cause damages/"

I confess that previous to reading this extensive article full of direct quotations revealed to me that I was not as aware as I should have been that the terror in the minds of numerous Arab leaders about Iran imminently crossing the nuclear threshold is often as great a fear and concern as that of the extreme dread in the State of Israel itself. Furthermore, Arab leaders have a very deep annoyance with President Obama for not being sufficiently direct with them in his communication of what he will do if his sanctions first strategy fails and Iran does obtain nuclear weapons along with the effective means to launch a nuclear strike or strikes.

This next very alarming quote was given only a few weeks ago to the author, Jeffrey Goldberg, by no less an authority than Youesf Al-Obtaiba, the present ambassador of the United Arab Emirates to the United States.

"His country would support a nuclear strike on Iran's nuclear facilities." He also said that, "If America allowed Iran to cross the nuclear threshold, the small Arab countries of the Gulf would have no choice but to leave the American orbit and ally themselves with Iran, out of self protection."

"There are many countries in the region, who, if they lack the assurance the U.S. is willing to confront Iran, they will start running for cover towards Iran," he said. "Small, rich, vulnerable countries in the region do not want to be the ones who stick their finger in the big bully's eye, if nobody's going to come to their support."

This ultimatum by the UAE ambassador to the U.S. through Mr. Goldberg, of course, may not reflect the true plans of the small, wealthy Gulf States to actually leave the U.S. orbit and truly put themselves under the protection of Iran. Nevertheless, that such a high profile diplomat would even make such a strong public statement to a high profile national correspondent for the Atlantic, is a strong public signal of distrust that he definitely intended for his comments to reach the closed door strategy sessions on Iran being held at the highest echelons at the White House. To have a majority of the Gulf nations switch their allegiances from the U.S. to Iran would have all kinds of major implications for U.S. Mid East policy. So the pressure that the Ambassador intended to put on President Obama to take action against Iran beyond sanctions should not be under estimated. And the comments were obviously intended to convey the message that the wealthy Gulf States are quite uncomfortable with the U.S. leaving it to Israel to be the main pressure on Iran to not keep moving forward with their nuclear development and obtain a nuclear bomb or bombs. Because any nuclear weapon that Iran obtains can be used against Israel or used to black mail and manipulate much weaker and quite vulnerable Gulf Nations.

Neither the U.S., Israel, Iran or the Arab Muslim States Factor ALLAH or the Quran Into Today's Deadly Nuclear Equation

For all of the belief that the Arab Muslim States, the U.S., and Israel supposedly have in either GOD or ALLAH, it appears they each state may as well be ruled by atheists for how each of these Muslim, Christian and Jewish leaders appear to factor out of their consideration a Living GOD who has His own anointed Risen, Living Messiah. They don't consider ALLAH's Living Messiah as having any relevance to today's potentially catastrophic nuclear stand-off. Yet it is ALLAH who has operationally demonstrated that He, Himself is the only one who can pull off miracles when he infused his lifeless Messiah with new life. But the living reality of an active GOD seems to be totally absent in their minds from having any relevance to their considerations, calculations and desperations regarding Iran's imminent potential nuclear capabilities. As for the leaders of Iran, they appear to be the exception in their leave-ALLAH-out-of-our-considerations policy. In contrast, their leaders appear to be constantly preoccupied with ALLAH when they discuss their own nuclear ambition that they publicly deny that they have. But I become personally skeptical when their mixture of ALLAH and their nuclear ambitious always is linked with the ultimate destruction of Israel when such an ambition is in total contradiction to the authoritative teaching of GOD's inspire Scriptures that there is a just, compassionate ALLAH behind the scenes who is more interested in healing nations than in destroying them.

However, the Arab Muslim States appear to be no worse or no better in their lack of having GOD as their reference point than the supposedly Risen Christ honoring Christian nation, the U.S. The U.S. has a Protestant Christian President; a Catholic Christian Vice President who appears to have no sympathy for Palestinians but who had convinced himself that the Israeli leaders never murder anyone because they always have an excuse that makes their murders, un-murders; a Methodist Secretary of State; many outspoken Christian Congress persons, and six practicing Christian Supreme Court members who dominate the nine member Supreme Court.

It may be a typical oxymoron, but each of these supposedly U.S. Christians in these key leadership roles appear  to be either agnostic Christians or atheist Christians who appear to sense no roll for GOD's Living omnipresent Messiah in the current horrible nuclear dilemma. In some ways their incongruous attitudes are a refreshing contrast to former President Bush's arrogant mentality of coming close to declaring that GOD virtually told him that he was to turn Iraq into a democratic light by using U.S. forces to kill sufficient numbers of Muslims. However, the total public silence of the U.S. Christian Community about GOD's role and the Risen Messiah's role in preventing Iran's supposedly ALLAH worshipping religious leaders from annihilating an entire nation of Jewish men, women and children who many of Iran's religious mullah leaders profess to view as diseased Jews, is exceptionally anti-ALLAH and is quite distressing.

But I personally see one bright light in this otherwise dark situation. I sense that ALLAH Himself is at this very time preparing Muslims to serve Him in a new, refreshing, unique way. I sense that Muslim minds are now ready to accept the truth and light that is even now pouring forth from one particular burst of light from the first part of Al-Imran 3:55 in the Holy Quran. For up until this time, out of all the thousands of verses in the Quran, one verse, An-Nisa 4:157 has been exploited by Muslim gate-keepers because of its unique wording. So these presumed gate-keepers of truth have forced all Muslims to believe that because there was supposedly no death of the Messiah, ALLAH was not allowed by these Muslim self-appointed gate keepers to receive deserved glory. So up until now it is denied that He used His Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might to gloriously raise His Messiah from total death. (4:158) (3:55)

Before commenting further on how the one verse of Al-Imran 3:55 truly should guarantee in Muslims' minds that even An-Nisa 4:157 must definitely be understood to teach that the Messiah initially experienced total lifelessness before being raised to new life by the Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might of ALLAH as is depicted in the very next verse, 4:158, I will comment on a particularly relevant dire, ominous emergency.

It is absolutely urgent that ALLAH's raising His Messiah from death and therefore has presented His Messiah's spiritual presence to now be in the midst of the Middle East Islamic community, must be recognized and acknowledged just as soon as possible. This immediacy is truly an urgent matter due to the crises that the less than stable mullahs in Iran have created for the entire Muslim Middle East. This crisis has occurred due to their obsession with acquiring nuclear weapons as soon as possible in order to destroy Israel and to dominate the other nations of the region with their extreme brand of Islam. Iran's leaders envision that this nuclear dominance will be obtainable for their once mighty empire the minute that Iran has destroyed Israel that has a present nuclear monopoly.

Though what I will now suggest and envision does not exist in the mind of any other person of the present time than myself, this dues not automatically mean that this is not what ALLAH envisions. Because ALLAH's plans often begin with what He, Himself inspires in the mind of one person who is committed to being faithful. And I personally had no involvement in ALLAH giving me my name that literally means in Welsh "great faith." (gri=great – fith=faith). So He certainly did not endow this servant with great intellectual capacity because I am very limited. But He has given me an unusual ability to focus on what He alone has accomplished through leading me in the past and what he will accomplish in the future. Furthermore, I will always marvel at what He has accomplished today through the faith of His unique Prophet Muhammad, not due to his ability, but due to his unique faith in the Wisdom and Might of ALLAH. (Se An-Nisa 4:158)

Therefore, as a servant who is attempting to be faithful to what I believe GOD is urging me to urge Arab Muslims to be faithful to is this. This recognition and embracing of ALLAH's Risen Messiah in your midst is ALLAH's plan for a wise Islam to be a reasonable balance to Iran, Israel, and the U.S.' great commitment to confusion. Each one of these three entities lacks a plan to prevent a nuclear Iran that does not involve great injurious violence. That is, except for the U.S. short range temporary solution of sanctions that will only provide a stalling tactic for Iran.

And of course the Islamic Muslim Arab leaders don't have a non violent plan up to this point. Because the only two plans that the small, wealthy, but vulnerable Muslim nations have is to look to the violent protective umbrella of the U.S. to protect them from the violence of both Iran or from the fall out from Israel defending themselves from Iran's soon to be nuclear threat. And if the U.S. is unwilling or unable to provide protection against Iran, according to the UAE Ambassador to the U.S., this will force these small vulnerable Muslim nations to reluctantly leave the U.S. orbit and run to the nuclear armed Iran for protection.

But I am urging you to realize that ALLAH is not offering you an either/or alternative, but a both/and alternative. By not necessarily breaking off with the U.S., but by gaining a stronger respect from the U.S. by demonstrating a new bonding with ALLAH's Risen Messiah whom many in the U.S. respect. Nevertheless, many in the U.S. only give lip-service to respecting and honoring ALLAH's now living Messiah.

But by this new relationship by Islam with ALLAH's Risen Messiah, this would definitely improve the image of Arab Muslims with the U.S. and simultaneously help provide a counterbalance to the present nuclear stand-off and potential M.E. violence when the U.S. and Israel attempt to avoid a nuclear confrontation between the principals of Iran, Israel, and the U.S. Because such a confrontation will inevitably bring considerable suffering to especially Lebanon and potentially every other Muslim M.E. nation and beyond. So I am certain that the leaders of Arab Muslim nations must be convinced of the urgency of responding to the truths expressed about the relevancy of the death and being raised alive of the Messiah by ALLAH Himself in the first part of Al-Imran 3:55.

Ahmedinejad Cannot Be Believed

Have you ever heard a person say that they can always tell when another person is lying? Well I am just the opposite. By trusting people I have lost money because I have naively believed others who were actually boldly lying to me.

I will also confess that not long ago I believed the clever con artist, Ahmedinejad, when he repeatedly and vehemently stated words similar to the following.

"Iran has no desire to build a nuclear bomb. Our only desire is to use our uranium for peaceful purposes."

Yes, even children sometimes use this taunt for persons like Ahmedinejad who persist in prevaricating. "Liar! Liar! Your pants are on fire!" Obviously Mr. Ahmedinejad's pants are not only on fire, but are furiously flaming.

But I will soon use a metaphor I hope will help Muslims realize how important my point is that Iran absolutely does plan to posses a nuclear bomb as quickly as possible. And this awful reality is exceptionally scary and ominous for both the Muslim Middle East and for the entire world?

I did not realize the absolute urgency of pounding on the reality of the imminence of Iran being a nuclear threat until I was confronted with the overwhelming evidence from the Atlantic correspondent Jeffery Goldberg. After hours and hours of penetrating dialogue and group discussions with well informed public spokesman from Iran, the U.S., Israel, and various Arab Muslim nations, he wrote a convincing eleven page article on how real Iran's nuclear threat actually is.

In order to stress the urgency of Muslims moving quickly to enter the realm of embracing ALLAH's Risen Man from now occupied Bethlehem who recognizes the consistent injustice that Muslim Arabs endure due to the U.S.' unqualified support for Israeli Jews rather than Muslim Arabs, they must realize his urgent desire to be recognized for his living presence among them. So in order to raise Muslims sense of urgency to move into the Risen Messiah's orbit that the U.S. is not so slowly moving out of, we will look at what the many in depth interviews by the Atlantic's correspondent, in which Mr. Goldstone was told about Israel's time line for making their move against Iran. Israeli decision makers are convinced this attack is necessary in order to prevent Iran from becoming the only Mid East Nation in addition to Israel with a nuclear capability.

The Ominous Clock is Winding Down

He discovered through his numerous interviews with Israeli officials that Israel definitely prefers that the U.S. make the military move against Iran. But in addition to President Obama and his officials being exceptionally reluctant to go beyond sanctions, the Pentagon, also due to a number of reality factors, is strongly opposed to the U.S. initiating any military action against Iran. But great is the dread in Israel that erratic, unstable, theologically driven Mullahs will imminently possess a nuclear capability. Therefore, the bottom line according to Israeli's top policy makers in addition to Netanyahu is this:

If the U.S. will not make this required attack, Israeli Aircraft will. If President Obama will not give the orders for such an attack Prime Minister Netanyahu will. And Israeli officials hope and pray that U.S. intelligence does not find out that the 100 or so armed Israeli aircraft are in the air until it is too late to stop them.

Defense Secretary, Robert Gates whom I talked with for about one minute here in Seattle about eleven years ago, before he was Defense Secretary, is very much opposed to the U.S. either bombing or invading Iran. Nevertheless, he has been candid with Israeli leaders about what our U.S. intelligence tells us about how soon Israel will have their ducks in order to start the building of their first nuclear bomb. He is cited in Mr. Goldstone's article as saying several weeks ago that U.S. intelligence estimates are that Iran is one to three years away from making a nuclear bomb. So Israeli intelligence translates those estimates to mean that Iran will conceivably begin to assemble the bomb in March of next year which is only seven months from now. So the best estimate of the Israeli Intelligence community as told to Mr. Goldberg by an Israeli policy maker is that Israel must make its plans by the beginning of the next year. The policy maker's exact words were: "If we assume that nothing changes in these estimates, this means we will have to begin thinking about our next step beginning at the turn of the year."

Israel is being realistic about the many, many Israeli lives that will be lost due to Hezballah rockets from Southern Lebanon where Hezballah has as many as 45,000 rockets that will inevitably begin raining down on Israel's towns and cities the minute that it becomes clear that Israeli jets have left to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. This is Israel's plan that will only occur when it is beyond being a false alarm that Israeli planes are definitely going to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities. So there may well be some fake take offs to confuse both the American's, the Iranians, and the Hezballah. But when the 100 or so E-15 E's, F161's, and F 16 C's, and other aircraft have completed dropping their bombs, the planes will waste no time in turning around to begin firing rockets and dropping bombs on Hezbollah's rocket installations in Southern Lebanon who may well have already begun raining rockets down on Israeli cities and towns in support of Iran. But Israeli's planes may be delayed some by being forced to refuel in the Saudi desert. It is also reported that Israel has already obtained permission from Saudi officials to use Saudi air space going to Iran and returning to Israel. Therefore, no one in Israel who is expecting the attack on Iran to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear capability, is expecting that this operation will not be a very bloody affair for Iran, for Israel, for Lebanon. And since Saudi Arabia's officials do not want a nuclear Iraq, they may also be drawn into having Saudi blood shed along with other nations such as in Syria. And who knows where else, possibly even in the U.S. due to Hezbollah retaliation wherever it can retaliate around the world in Iran's behalf. My naive position before reading the extensive Atlantic article was to give Iran the benefit of the doubt when their representatives stated again and again that they would only use their nuclear reactors for peaceful purposes and would never, never build nuclear bombs that could destroy Israel. Now I have 100% reached the conclusion that to have believed such a blatantly false claim was totally naïve on my part.

The Iranian Steroid Comparison

To believe Iran is not trying to build nuclear bombs and their delivery systems is similar to believing a professional baseball player testifying under oath to the U.S. Congress who denies he used steroids to help himself in baseball. Yet, the thirty year old has arm muscles the size of basketballs and can hit a baseball from his home ballpark to Washington D.C. So if I believe this baseball players false testimony that he never used steroids to help his athletic performance, I am also able to believe President Ahmedinejad's testimony that Iran has no plans to build nuclear weapons and only has plans to use its enhanced uranium for peaceful purposes. No! These are only untrue words by Iranian officials that no one should believe. It is quite obvious that many Iranian Mullahs are convinced they have a theologically driven responsibility to destroy Israel's Jews, but not necessarily American Jews despite the retaliation cost to Persian civilization. Because Iranian Mullahs have convinced themselves that Iran can absorb nuclear attacks, but that Israel cannot absorb such a nuclear assault.

The Quran's Mighty Al-Imran 3:55

Returning to the potential of properly understanding one mighty Verse from the Holy Quran and the connection this will have with Islam's potential ability to prevent or indefinitely postpone Iran from attacking Israel with one or more nuclear bomb with the insane theologically driven intention to obliterate Israel. Here is the constructive prevention scenario I see as having a high potential to be successful. Significantly, the whole circumstance working in the way that I conceive that it can work, is totally dependant on Islam's current Muslim leaders becoming convinced that it makes far more sense to trust the deliberate testimony of ALLAH Himself about His Messiah's triumph over both death and ancient Jewish murderers than it does to consciously choose to wholly entrust Islam's future to the tenuous teachings of a foolish, ridiculous myth. Especially since this myth's content has been totally manufactured by the corrupt imagination of mortal man. Significantly the whole content of this mortal-man-invented-myth has no substantive or defensible relationship to either ALLAH or what the Holy Quran actually states or teaches anywhere when the one controversial verse, 4:157, is read and analyzed carefully. Therefore, to consciously make a clear choice to believe a sincere, clear, concise, emphatic statement from ALLAH Himself in Al-Imran 3:55 over a bizarre unsubstantiated myth concocted by the corrupt imagination of mortal man should not be a difficult choice for a sincere, intelligent Muslim to make. That should be quite an easy choice for a Muslim to make if that Muslim man has a beloved family and is appropriately concerned about his children and his grandchildren's future. Especially does he want to make the correct choice and not naively choose to believe a concocted man made myth over choosing a concise proclamation by ALLAH Himself since this key statement by ALLAH is a crucial factor in the equation?

What will be the type of existence his children and grandchildren etc. may have in existing in a post nuclear holocaust Middle East with the potential negative environmental, economic and societal consequences for all the people and nations of the greater Middle East? The Muslim Middle East must realize that it is only Islam which has the greatest true potential to be used by ALLAH as a unique stabilizing dimension for a Middle East that regretfully the big three actors in this nuclear standoff of Israel, Iran and the supposedly Christian U.S., do not seem much concerned about the suffering and radical destabilization they will choose to inflict upon the entire region. It actually appears that these three nations have each caught the disease called disregard others left over from the Bush and Cheney mentality. But it is also only the U.S. that has come up with any option to violence to deal with Iran's nuclear ambitions. The U.S. option has been radical sanctions against Iran which regretfully are at best a stalling tactic.

Therefore, it definitely appears to be only the Arab Muslim nations who will be ALLAH's chosen source to come up with a radical, out of the box solution to the Middle Eastern nuclear stand off. So I personally envision that in order for Muslim Nations to move forward in a constructive direction for the Middle East, it is absolutely necessary for Islam to choose to take a giant step of transformation. This will require Islam to join spiritual forces with ALLAH's Risen Bethlehem man. But to call discarding a virtually silly man-made myth and replacing that myth with truth spoken in the Quran itself by ALLAH in Al-Imran 3:55 about the Messiah need not be considered such a giant step of transformation. Rather, this is only a reasonable step that must be made in order to get back on the Straight Path of Islam away from which some leaders and Mullahs had unwisely taken this noble religion. But it must be noted also that even in elements of Islam where Hamas and Hezballah that have been labeled by the U.S. as Islamic extremists and even terrorist organizations, there has often been a sense of nobility in their motivations in the justice that they have desired to achieve for Muslims in the name of ALLAH. And their struggles for justice have been in the face of radical Israeli injustice. So those radicalized Muslims too must now recognize that an essential element in achieving that ALLAH desired justice is for their people to put their hand in the hand of the man who both stilled the water, calmed the sea, and brought true light and healing to an area that is now known as the West Bank, but was then Galilee. However, when these former extremists put their hands into the Quran's Risen Messiah's hands they must take out of their hands weapons and explosive devices and out of their heads plans to kill and main innocent people, even if they are Israelis. Because Isa is still the Compassionate Gillilean, although the more appropriate title today is "The Quran's West Bank Man from Bethlehem.".

And even with a group that has very wrongly given themselves over to using terrorist tactics, and has wantonly massacred innocent civilians in order to achieve their man conceived ideological goals, their movements did originally begin with a spirit of idealism before violence became their total bread and butter. Therefore, they must finally realize that their true hope to bring justice to the Islamic Middle East is for each of these justice pursuing men is to put their bloody hands in the hand of the healing Risen Galilean who once quieted the raging Sea of Galilee.

So all in all, all aspects of Islam can be healed by ALLAH's rugged, but compassionate and justice driven West Bank Man, so that all of Islam including the leaders and men of the now misguided Taliban, have the potential to bring justice and a desire to heal, to the peace table. And this will occur when their hands are in the hand of the man who miraculously calmed a raging sea and that symbolic raging sea is what we now have in certain regions of the greater Middle East.

Perceptive leaders in Islam should be able to recognize that Islams' leaders have themselves reached a low point when no leaders within Islam are able to see that a crucial strategic choice must now be made between continuing to uncritically trust in a relatively silly man made myth regarding ALLAH's Messiah's final days on earth in Al-Quds/Jerusalem. Please keep in perspective that this magical myth is about ALLAH's and the Holy Quran's only anointed Messiah who had been brought into this world through a miraculous virgin birth through the Virgin Maryam. So will Muslims finally be able to realize that rather than trusting this man-made myth, they must instead choose to trust in a concise procalmation about his final days declared by a glorious statement by the Creator of the Universe with its vast galaxies, ALLAH Himself. Just think of the ridiculousness and the absurdity of the choice that both ALLAH and ominous circumstances are requiring Islamic leaders to make between a ridiculous myth or ALLAH Himself.

To Believe an Unbelievable Man-Made-Myth or to Believe ALLAH in Al-Imran 3:55 Who is The Creator of the Universe

It is a total understatement to say that it is more than obvious which choice ALLAH is pleading with His beloved Muslims to make. Once the choice is framed in the aforementioned way, that thinking Muslims for even one moment would consider choosing to prefer a man-made-myth over ALLAH's vivid Al-Imran 3:55 proclamation is a sincere wound to Islam that must be healed by ALLAH.

That the circumstances have reached the low point of requiring that ALLAH find and send a 77 year old outsider with a growing old cow heart valve to urge Islamic leaders to make such an obvious choice is an insult to Islam that undoubtedly grieves ALLAH. How could Muslim leaders decline so far since the departure of their progressive, courageous Prophet Muhammad who was empowered by ALLAH to lead Islam to such towering heights? Therefore, it is absolutely necessary in this time of potential greater crises and even a nuclear threat, that Islam must find leadership that trusts ALLAH's proclamation in Al-Quran's 3:55. They must now totally discard Islam's unanimously trusting the highly dubious content of their virtual man-made-myth idol.

Furthermore, since the Muslim Middle East is now facing a critical moment in its existence when the totally unstable Mullahs of Iran, many of whom have a Taliban mentality, have the potential to control the Middle East, and even to dictate what is taught in Muslim schools. Therefore, it is high time that serious Muslims, who publicly profess to sincerely believe in ALLAH and the Holy Quran, to stop looking to the U.S. militarism which ALLAH despises, to come to the rescue of Islamic society in the Middle East. It is very clear from the teaching of the Hebrew Prophets such as Isaiah and Jeremiah/Yeremiah that ALLAH has put His strong stamp of radical disapproval on man's trusting in weapons and violence in order to obtain peace and to keep peace.

So now the radical time has arrived for multitudes of Muslims to choose ALLAH's own account of what occurred to His Messiah in a three day period in Jerusalem 2000 years ago, rather than trusting marble-headed-myth-loving-men to dictate what occurred in Al-Quds by means of their silly man-made myth. Because by their Carl Rove type manipulation of truth they have denied ALLAH's marvelous, magnificent, compassionate Messiah the opportunity to show forth his spiritual living presence among Muslims in order to help them dodge the fiery arrows being aimed at their hearts by Israel, by the U.S. and now by the mean hearted men who are the aging Mullahs of Iran. A lethal combination of Israel, Iran, radical Muslim extremists, and the U.S., as well as the U.S. Neo-Cons, are each doing their best to destabilize the Middle East when each of these entities performs their own bit of supposedly stabilizing the Middle East by means of aggressive violence. But violence is what the five entities I have just named produce when they each bring their own interpretation of military violence to the table. Islam is the only exception because it does not advocate violence except for the Islamic extremists practicing physical violence to accomplish their own anti-ALLAH and anti-Qur'an agendas.

But though main stream Islam is not advocating physical violence, mainstream Islam including Wahhabism in my mind is now practicing an obscene spiritual violence that is excessively displeasing to ALLAH. The violence that Islam now obstructively brings is the spiritual violence against ALLAH's truth of Resurrection. And Islam's leaders deny ALLAH's truth of Resurrection by rejecting the truth of ALLAH's raising of Isa that is boldly proclaimed by ALLAH Himself in the first part of Al-Imran 3:55. In the first part of that profound verse ALLAH Himself boldly speaks of Isa's death and then immediately states, "I will raise you to myself," which is resurrection. And by means of His miraculous raising up alive of Messiah Isa, ALLAH definitely provides opportunity for His Messiah's influential, constructive, comforting presence to be spiritually among sincere Muslims.

But when this spiritual violence against the truth of ALLAH's Wisdom and Might of Resurrection is soon finally discontinued, the following is what will then have the ALLAH provided opportunity to occur. Millions and millions of Muslims in thousands of thousands of Mosques throughout the Arab Muslim Middle East and soon beyond the greater Arab Middle East into Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Stans, will soon realize that they now have an open new fresh opportunity with the empowerment ALLAH's Risen Messiah who is spiritually living in their midst. When that wonderful bonding with ALLAH's and the Qur'an's Risen Messiah begins to occur, this will quite possibly help alleviate the horrible situation regarding belligerent Iran obtaining the nuclear bomb or bombs and potentially blasting small Israel. Because that insane, catastrophic action would thereby set off a whole chain of horrible side effects which will have enormous catastrophic fall-out for human beings beyond Israel and throughout the Muslim Mid East and potentially throughout the entire World.

But the Quran's Risen Messiah will now be the crucial new factor in the seven multi-factored equation of 1. Iran, 2. Israel, 3. the U.S., 4. the Bomb, 5. ALLAH, 6. His Risen Messiah and 7. the new believing Arab Muslim Heads of State and their people. The crucial major difference will now be that Israel, the U.S., and Iran will not have direction and will not truly know what their nations are truly about. Each of these three nations will be like a drowning man grasping at straws. This will be even though the U.S. may have a brilliant President and a clever Secretary of State, and even though Benjamin Netanyahu will be the most enraged, desperate leader with more than enough nuclear weapons to blow all of Iran off the map as well as enough to destroy all the other Arab nations. And this is even though Iran will have tremendous leverage with one, two, or three nuclear weapons. Despite all of this, Iran will probably still have a hysterical leadership and will have caused every country in the world except possibly Communist China, and Russia and a couple South American countries to be working to undermine them economically and militarily so that Iran will barely be surviving. In vivid contrast to each of these desperate flailing three entities, it will be only Arab Muslim nations which will have the stability that only a right relationship with both ALLAH and with the Qur'an's Risen Messiah is able to bring. Thus, each of the other confused entities will look with more favor, more respect and more envy at the more stable, more focused Arab Muslim countries. So Islam's leadership and stability will be admired. And since the Arabic Muslim nations are fortunately less weapon dependent than the other three key confused entities of the U.S., Israel, and Iran, this will be a definite advantage for Arab nations. The presence of less weapons will provide Arab Muslim nations and other Muslim nations advantages with ALLAH as well as with many other nations who will covet their friendship, their direction, and their stability. And the Wise Muslims will be gifted in mediation in which the U.S., Iran, and Israel are not as gifted. So these Muslim Arab Nations will undoubtedly, with ALLAH's leadership and with their prayers and humility, will provide the wise leadership that for now will help to avoid a conflagration.

These advantages I have just listed for Arab Muslim nations may seem insignificant. But they are not insignificant. Being right with ALLAH and with His Messiah and having a clear conscience toward other nations and a lack of weapons will provide more practical and spiritual leverage than man can imagine. Furthermore, their new relationship with ALLAH's and the Qur'an's Risen Messiah that will be recognized by the U.S., can only help Muslims' standing with America's government and America's people. But it is ALLAH who will especially be pleased and that is what is of prime importance.

The Fitnah Factor For Ahmedinejad

Many will indeed be dubious regarding my vivid encounter in a dream on December 16, 2007 with a nearly hysterical, jumping up and down President Ahmedinejad of Iran. Immediately after the dream woke me from sleep I could recall no part of the dream except for the dreams climax with Ahmedinejad's virtual jumping up and down waving his arms and repeating quite loudly "fitnah" which abruptly woke me up from a sound sleep.

My wife was still in Jordan at the time and I was alone in our small Seattle apartment near Green Lake. While on a prayer walk near the lake a day or two before, I became convinced that I should write a personal letter to this controversial, out spoken President of Iran expressing to him my personal disappointment that the U.S. Government did not seem to take his many, what I thought to be legitimate concerns, seriously. And I also shared with him a few thoughts about ALLAH's compassionate Risen Man from Occupied West Bank Bethlehem. But I had not yet mailed the letter when I experienced the extremely vivid end of the dream. I was quite convinced that it was the short President of Iran that I was both seeing and hearing. But I have no recollections of what preceeded the exceptionally vivid climax of the dream. But suddenly a small man appeared about ten feet in front of me, facing me. When he apparently saw me, he immediately began jumping up and down, wildly waving his arms with each jump. But he was angrily shouting the word, "fitnah" very clearly. I thought that he shouted it about seven times.

Significantly, this was about ten months previous to the documentary movie came out in Europe named "Fitnah" that was critical of Islam. So when I had the dream, at that point in time, as far as I know my sub-conscience had never heard the Arabic/Persian word "fitnah" because the first time I publicly heard or read the word was months after it was repeatedly shouted in my vivid dream. The next morning as soon as I awoke I called an Arab friend from the Arabian Gulf area because, though it was spoken by an Iranian President, the word sounded Arabic.

Immediately when I said the word to my Arab friend he repeated it in a shocked and excited way and wanted to know where I had heard this word. I again asked the meaning and told him I would tell him where I had heard it only after he told me its meaning. Then he succinctly told me, again in an emphatic, excited way, that the word meant, "to start a great disturbance". It was like Fitnah was some kind of big deal when ever this word was used.

Then a couple of weeks later I was attending a Bible study being led by an Iranian who was fluent in both Farsi and English, but not in Arabic. This fellow had formerly been a Persian Muslim. However, after no Doctor was able to provide him any relief for his pain from a serious back injury from a car accident, a friend told him that he knew of a physician who might be willing to help his back to be healed. He asked the name of the physician and was told that his name was Jesus. The injured man was desperate for some relief from his back pain so he thought he had nothing to lose by giving Dr. Jesus a try. To his great amazement and relief, his back was totally healed after being prayed for in the name of Jesus. So he became a follower of the Risen Messiah soon after his healing.

At the end of his Bible Study I asked this man and his Persian wife if they had ever heard of the word fitnah. Their response was precisely the same as my Arab friend. They both repeated it simultaneously with an excited gasp and asked where I had heard this word. I answered their question with my own question saying that I thought this was an Arabic word, so how did they know it since neither of them speaks Arabic?

They both explained that it is used in both Arabic and Farsi. When I asked them what it meant, they both said exactly what my friend had said, "to start a great disturbance."
But months later came my biggest surprise regarding the meaning of this word. I met a Jordanian woman Bible teacher in the hill country above our home near Salt Jordan. When I asked this lady about the meaning of the word she was an exception to Ahmedinejad, to my Arab friend, and to the husband and wife Iranian friends who all had treated the word in a very excited way. But she calmly explained that the word means to "start a great disturbance". But this lady went a surprising step further than the others. She explained that in the Arabic version of the fifth book of the New Testament, "The Acts of the Apostles," the Arabic word fitnah is used three times for the word riot that the Rasuul Bulus or the Apostle Paul often caused when he started great disturbances through preaching Jesus and his Resurrection to people who had strong disagreements. The Fitnahs occurred in what I recall were the cities of Caesarea, Thessalonica, and Philippi. However, I discovered that it was in only one version of the Arabic Bible that fitnah was used for riot three times and in other versions of the Arabic Injeel it was used for riot only one time.

But then came one more ominous Surprise regarding the incendiary quality of the word fitnah. We have already observed how the first four persons I mentioned became very excited when encountering this world; Ahmedinejad himself, my Gulf Arab friend, and the husband and wife from Iran, each grew quite excited when encountering this strong word. But then just a few months ago when I was reading my own Quran, there was a concise statement that gave me insight into how strongly the person is despised by some Muslims who brings Al-Fitnah into the Islamic community. In Al-Baqurah 2:191, it is ominously stated that to bring Al-Fitnah to Islam is worse than killing.

The Relevance of Al-Fitnah to Iran's Possessing the Bomb

Why have I been so thorough in my comments about having this vivid dream on December 16, 2006 or 2007 about Fitnah in a paper which is primarily about Israel potentially attack on Iran's nuclear facilities?

1.

This unusual, but relevant dream was definitely a supernatural event from GOD. Sigmund Freud teaches us that our dreams originate in our sub-conscience. But my sub-conscience had previously had no interaction with the Arabic word fitnah that is used in a language in which I cannot even adequately handle greetings. So it was ALLAH who had His own special reasons for me to observe President Ahmedinejad very excitedly and angrily loudly shouting the emotional loaded word fitnah about seven times. So that should somewhat confirm in many peoples' minds that no matter how insignificant as a person I am, the Almighty ALLAH is involved with me in a unique way and that I am potentially involved with Iran in a unique way.

2.

Also it appears that there is something in the message about the Risen Messiah that through my website I am urging Muslims to consider which will in some way make President Ahmedinejad very angry and consider that my message is a big threat to Islam. For that is what the word fitnah is all about. And that is why introducing Al-Fitnah is considered to be worse than killing. And sadly, even though what I present is true, truth is irrelevant to most Mullahs because Iranian Islam is a closed system. And Iranian Islam decides what is true and it is not ALLAH who decides what is true or even the Qur'an which determines what is true. But rather it is the Mullahs and the Ayatollahs, the Iranian popes, who decide what is true. Therefore, persons such as myself who bring fresh, relevant information to the Islamic community, even though the information has the Qur'an as its source, are a great threat to Iranian Shia Islam.

3.

And here is how the dream which GOD gave to me that revealed President Ahmedinejad being more upset and hysterical than he ever is in even dealing with the Jewish State, causes his rage to potentially intersect with Iran's nuclear ambitions. Iran's plans to drop a nuclear bomb on Israel or to fire a nuclear rocket and by so doing potentially risk the future of Persian Civilization, very possibly will suffer a potent distraction when President Ahmedinejad witnesses first hand vast multitudes of Muslims openly breaking ranks with traditional decisions about truth that are usually cast in concrete in Islam. So decisions that Islam has made about an un-Risen Messiah are considered out of bounds to Islam regardless of what ALLAH Himself proclaims in Al-Imran 3:55 about His Messiah's death and resurrection. I am not going on record as predicting that multitudes of mosques in the near future which will be proclaiming Isa/Jesus as ALLAH's and the Quran's Risen Messiah, will definitely alter the present nuclear stand-off. But I am definitely saying that when this massive movement of turning to ALLAH's Risen Messiah does before too long occur, I would not rule out in any way that this could impact Islam's future relations with the U.S. and with the Israeli-Islamic balance of power. So how that new balance of power might disconcert and preoccupy the Mullah establishment in Iran, we will soon see. Or in Arabic street language – Min Shoof!
