Who cares who they are? The little fart didn’t invent this phrase all by himself, it’s part of the religious DNA.

Well, the return of the Twelfth Imam is a belief of some Shiites, yes, but the mere existence of that belief, nor even that Dinnerjacket flaunts his faith in it, doesn’t tell us what Iran is really going to do, especially since it’s not clear to me that there’s any traditional belief that the end of times can actually be forced by human behavior. I could be wrong. I know that all the believers ride all over hell and gone with white and black flags, and Jesus gets involved, and then peace and goodness and all sorts of other stuff rains down all over.

Like Armageddon, it’s something you can’t draw a direct line from ‘belief in’, to ‘therefore the believer will do’. You have to take it into account, but you have to take all the other stuff that goes on into account too.
