I'll have to see if I can dig up some backup later this evening.

Seriously, according to the Mayan calendar, the world isn't supposed to end until Dec 21, 2012, anyway:rotfl:

These little babies don't care what color they are ... they just want to be fed on time lol

This prophecy is aout 1,300 years ago, but read the whole article ... all Muslims are not in agreement
Same has been said about every "end times" scenerio, i.e., 9/11 was then "predicted by Nostrodomus(sp?)" hundreds of years ago, and said that it would start a war that would bring about the end times." These "urban legends" have been roaming around since before the interwebs.

By the way: what's a Muslim prophet? About $3.95 after taxes.

Still waiting for one of these things to be correct.
Thousands of them (predictions). Here's the whole list, for anyone with a free evening to sift through all this stuff:

Not sure if it included the Myan calandar thingy or not.

Yep. Especially since the accusation used to be "If you have one drop of black blood in you, then..."

I always thought that being a "mongrel race" was one of our greatest national strengths...

Oh, I agree. I just thought it was funny that when I was a boy someone couldn't go certain places if he wasn't 'pure white', and now people are trying to dismiss Obama as the first black president by saying "well, he's not all black, you know..."

Yeah I figured that. We have come a long way haven't we?

I just hope that we can begin to put all this racial tension behind us now and stop being "white-Americans" or "black-Americans" or (insert race or foreign nationality of choice)-Americans, and just be "Americans".

As Teddy Roosevelt said: "There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else." and Woodrow Wilson agreed saying: "Any man who carries a hyphen about with him carries a dagger that he is ready to plunge into the vitals of this Republic whenever he gets ready".

Those are some good quotes. I had never heard the Wilson one before.

Yeah we've had some pretty exceptional men as Presidents and although I didn't vote for him I do have some big hopes for the next one.

@August

Just to show that it ain't just the Abrahamic religions with Kerrazy prophets;

Quote:
Surt: "The Black One," chief of the Muspilli, or fire-giants, who will lead the battle against the gods and slay Frey at Ragnarok. His name appears attached to several sources of Icelandic volcanic activities, from the Viking Age to the modern era (the volcanic island flung up off the coast of Iceland in 1963 is called "Surtsey," Surt's Island). The fire that burns the cosmos at Ragnarok is called "Surt's fire". Old Norse Surtr.
Seem familiar? Perhaps there is something to this?


Quote is from http://paganandproudofit.com/norse.html

but there's plenty more on Surt ao Swart on the day of Ragnarok

This is starting to sound like real prophecy ... with Rambo Obama taking out bin Laden this week.

Is this too far left or too far right or off the scale?


http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?ui...35&topic=27620


Quote:
JoAnne Zarola
Iran: "Iman Ali Prophesied a Tall Black man Will Rise to Power in the West Just Before the Return of the Mahdi"....

Barack Obama the "promised warrior" coming to help the Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world?

The question has made the rounds in Iran since last month, when a pro-government Web site published a Hadith (or tradition) from a Shiite text of the 17th century. The tradition comes from Bahar al-Anvar(meaning Oceans of Light) by Mullah Majlisi, a magnum opus in 132 volumes and the basis of modern Shiite Islam.

According to the tradition, Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the prophet's cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the Ultimate Saviour, a "tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West."Commanding "the strongest army on earth," the new ruler in the West will carry "a clear sign" from the third imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali. The tradition concludes: "Shiites should have no doubt that he is with us."

In a curious coincidence Obama's first and second names--Barack Hussein--mean "the blessing of Hussein" in Arabic and Persian. His family name, Obama, written in the Persian alphabet, reads O Ba Ma, which means "he is with us," the magic formula in Majlisi's tradition.
