   Is important to carefully review the fundamentals of belief systems and to   
   disregard temptations offered by the deceiver. Br careful about what is   
   believed.   
   What is rejected is Islam as the only permissible religion   
   Jerusalem is to be a city where all have equal rights before GOD, if that can   
   be achieved by city ordnance

   The function of the Mahdi, it is possible to suggest that the program that the   
   Imam intends to implement is ideal, comprehensive and, of course, difficult.   
   It has as its target the reform of the entire world, the defeat of the forces   
   of tyranny and    
   wickedness in their entirety, the raising of Islam as the official religion of   
   all the inhabitants of this world, the removal of prejudices and wrong   
   attitudes from the minds of the people so that they can all live in peace and   
   harmony under the    
   government of God. In addition, the Mahdi's revolution aspires to found a   
   global community under one God, one religion, and one ideal system of law, and   
   to bring all other communities under the united flag of Islam.   
      
   Obviously, such a goal is not easy to accomplish. This program is practicable   
   only when the human mind is prepared to accept those goals and to go beyond   
   the narrow confines of materialistic ideologies to realize the value of God's   
   guidance for humanity.    
   The need for the revolution and the desire to promulgate the divine blueprint   
   for an ideal human society have to come from the people who have actively   
   participated in preparing the way for the twelfth Imam to launch his program   
   for the new world order.   
      
   Second, in view of several traditions reported from the Imams, it appears that   
   the Imam of the Age and his supporters will overcome the forces of disbelief   
   and godless materialism by undertaking jihad. It will be with the power of   
   just warfare that the    
   forces of God's enemy and the supporters of disbelief and injustices will be   
   exterminated. There are numerous traditions that speak about the impending use   
   of force to achieve the goal. For example, Imam Baqir said:   
      
   --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05   
    * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)
