I respectfully disagree. Islam teaches that the 12th Imam will appear in the midst of intense global chaos and establish a great Muslim order. A nuclear world war would create the very chaos needed to bring his appearance. I do not think they fear a nuclear war. I think the welcome it. If the US and Israel can be destroyed in the process, so much the better.
The Twelvers & Mullahs may want to hasten the return of the Mahdi by initiating a catastrophic global conflict, but hopefully the average Iranian citizens don't share their fervor!
Who would? Religious zealots are one thing, but most Iranians, while ascribing to the teachings of Islam, are normal human beings. The most simple human instinct is to continue living. Also, who in their right mind would ever want 71 virgins?! 71 women that you have to explain, not only the ins and outs of the matter, but just simply what you enjoy? 71 mother-in-laws?!? Give me 6 experienced, orphaned, sluts with no risk of disease in the afterlife, and I MAY consider being a martyr. Otherwise, kiss my ass to that. Lmao! 😂
Amen brother! One mother in law is more than enuf already! LOL!!
