August 22nd: Waiting for the 12th Imam?

The Neocon is skeptical (to say the least) of the various doomsday and Armageddon scenarios circulating on the internet. Indeed, the date does coincide with an important day of reckoning for many Shiite Muslims who believe that only following a massive conflagration will the world finally witness the return of the 12th Imam, which will usher in an era of world peace under Islamic law. Radical Shiites such as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahamadinajad are known to possess mystical beliefs in relation to the 12th Imam and the concern is that he may feel compelled to initiate an action on that important date on the Shiite calendar that will, in his mind, help to bring about the great conflagration (a number of experts suspect that is why he chose August 22nd as the day he will deliver his answer to the UN and its demands for a halt to the Iranian nuclear program). Hopefully, the various scholars and bloggers will be proven overly concerned.
