What he wants people to think he believes can be the same thing as what he believes. It just happens to not be the truth.

The idea that al-Māhdī did not die but rather was hidden by Allah and will later emerge is almost certainly NOT true, but Mahmoud Ahmadinejad seems to believe it.

To disagree with the idea that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad believes in the myth of the 12th Imam seems to me to be disagreeing just for the sake of it.
