I thought I would share this photo I took in Nazareth just a block away from the home where they believed Mary was born.
Believe it or not, Islam actually believes in an Islamic Messiah, although he is not Jesus.
In 2005, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stood before the UN Security Council in New York City to explain his continued determination to develop nuclear weapons. Shockingly enough, he began his speech by declaring this prayer to Allah: "In the name of the God of mercy, compassion, peace, freedom, and justice....," and he ended his speech with this prayer" I pray to you to hasten the emergence of your last repository, the promised one, the perfect and pure human being, the one that will fill this world with justice and peace." The "promised one" in Ahmadinejad's prayer was not a reference to Jesus Christ, but to the Twelfth Imam, a figure in Shi'ite teaching that parallels the figure of Al-Mahdi teaching.
Talk about a country of freedom!
Millions of American's have died so Ahmadinejad can openly pray this prayer in New York City.
Just consider what would happen if an American Christian tried to pray a prayer of the second coming of Jesus Christ in a Muslim nation
