Fascinating - thank you.
So, if one were to suppose that the world will experience increasingly chaotic conditions, then it seems possible that an Islamic charismatic leader could rather easily initiate WWIII.
I wonder - could an individual fulfill the requirements to be both Al-Mahdi and the Twelfth Imam? And, what attributes would the mass of Muslims regard as both necessary and sufficient to fulfill that role?
Jest:
I take it as a given that I couldn't show up in Iran, tell them I was the awaited one, and that I needed all their money.
