Have yourself a Mahmoud little Christmas

The UK’s unerring instinct to self-destruct:

Iran’s Ahmadinejad to give alternative Christmas message

Jewish groups were up in arms today when it was revealed that Channel 4’s “alternative” Christmas Day broadcast is to be delivered by President Ahmadinejad of Iran.

Mr Ahmadinejad’s speech will go out at 7.15pm, four hours after the Queen’s traditional Christmas Day message is broadcast on the main channels. His message is a spiritual one but includes some more nakedly political elements – including the implicit claim that if Jesus Christ were alive today, he would oppose US hegemony.

“If Christ was on Earth today undoubtedly he would stand with the people in opposition to bullying, ill-tempered and expansionist powers,” Mr Ahmadinejad will say in a speech to be shown in Farsi with English subtitles.

“If Christ was on Earth today undoubtedly he would hoist the banner of justice and love for humanity to oppose warmongers, occupiers, terrorists and bullies the world over. If Christ was on Earth today undoubtedly he would fight against the tyrannical policies of prevailing global economic and political systems, as He did in His lifetime.”

Where does Mahmoud get this nonsense: when Jesus was on earth the first time, it was the fact that he didn’t fight against political tyrannies that upset many of his potential followers.

And when Christ comes to earth again it will actually be like this:

Then I saw  heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called  Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.  His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and  he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. Rev 9:11-16.

I wouldn’t want to be in the shoes of someone who is determined to destroy Israel.
