Bone chilling,
This review is from: The Apocalypse of Ahmadinejad: The Revelation of Iran's Nuclear Prophet (Paperback)
The chilling part of this book is not Hitchcock's analysis but the words directly from Ahmadinejad. It is an important read for anyone desiring more insite into the nutcase at the wheel of the Mahdi Army. If you, like me had heard of the Madi Army but didn't understand the significance, then this book is a must read.

Ahmadinejad's Own Words,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Apocalypse of Ahmadinejad: The Revelation of Iran's Nuclear Prophet (Paperback)
Some might think because this author is a Christian who believes in what the Bible says about the endtimes that he is extreme. He is not.
This book is the actual words of the president of Iran. They reveal his hatred of Israel and the United States and his willingness to destroy both. No one took Adolf Hitler's words seriously either until it was too late. Let's not repeat history.

The Truth,
By
This review is from: The Apocalypse of Ahmadinejad: The Revelation of Iran's Nuclear Prophet (Paperback)
An excellent, straight forward biblical based analysis of the situation in Iran as it affects all of us. It is well written, easy to understand and shows the relationship of this person and his views against blibical prophecy.

A MUST READ!!!!!!!,
By
This review is from: The Apocalypse of Ahmadinejad: The Revelation of Iran's Nuclear Prophet (Paperback)
I know some of what was in this book, but it is great to have it all laid out in clear fashion. What Hitchcock does is tell us a short History of Islam and the two main factions (Sunni and Shiite) and then the importance of the twelvers (part of the shiite faction), of which Iran's leader M, Ahmdinejad is a believer. I wont go into to much detail hear but I think its very important to understand peoples beliefs, because our actions can be predicated by our beliefs.
The twelvers believe that after Mohomid left, there was a secession of 12 (related sucessor's) and the 12th one, disappeared and is hidden and will return. We need to understand that in this view, it is one of world domination. There must be a terrible horrible war, witch Ahmdinejad and other twelvers can help come about, and as the US and Israel are destroyed the 12th Iman or MAHDi can be reveled and bring in world peace under a one world islamic government. OK I did that real quick I urge all of you to read this book and other sources and get the whole story.

Opaque Vision Revealed,
By
This review is from: The Apocalypse of Ahmadinejad: The Revelation of Iran's Nuclear Prophet (Paperback)
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is exposed in these pages as a man of vision. Mark Hitchcock, the author of this study in personality, submits the unblinking documentary of that vision, confirming his own assessment that the President of Iran may very well be the most dangerous man in the world.
In a clear, simple recording of the facts, Hitchcock bravely reports what many have feared concerning Iran's present political leader. Lest any pass off this jarring expose' as mere hyperbole, the author wisely includes Ahmadinejad's personal views from his blog and his letter to then sitting President Bush. Any attempt to brush away the threat of Islam, and the hate for Israel which drives the leaders of that religion of peace as they foment their hate-filled plans of destruction of Israel first, America second, and all remaining infidels dissolves at this reading. The only hijacking that has been performed is the forced image, gratis America's media, of radicals skewering a movement of God. Islam versus Christian doctrine is charted well, literally. Yet, importantly, Ahmadinejad's vision is revealed. And it is opaque. There is no light here, folks. None.

This book is simply an insatiable appetite for pure propaganda and alarmism to make money,
This review is from: The Apocalypse of Ahmadinejad: The Revelation of Iran's Nuclear Prophet (Paperback)
I agree with a previous reviewer that `Mark Hitchcock is part of a very disturbing bunch of figures such as John Hagee and Tim LaHaye' to create an industry from selling books, CDs and videos promoting U.S. imperialism, warning us about Islamic "plans" to conquer the world. Regrettably many are stupid to believe anything these people say and write about, becoming entrapped and brainwashed by the whole thing. I tried to read the book with impartiality, perhaps to give the writer the benefit of the doubt, however, "The Apocalypse Of Ahmadinejad" offers very little by way of fact and thoughtful reasoning and when the 'Hitchcock and Hagee' evangelical lot revel in recurring religious mantra of this sort, they prove themselves to be just as extreme and dangerous and certainly not worthy to be taken seriously. So the only thing that I can deduce from all this is that they are just trying to make money, putting fear (as religion does) in to people heads.
I am definitely no fan of the Islamic regime and particularly of Mahmoud Ahmadinajad, but the kind of sensationalist, alarmist, and fact twisting interpretation garbled from the Bible's New Testament by Hitchcock is precisely what should be challenged and thwarted. It's a good job I only paid 00.70 pence for this garbage and even that was a waste of money and time reading it!! The Apocalypse of Ahmadinejad: The Revelation of Iran's Nuclear Prophet

Bad History Mixed With Fear-Mongering Propaganda.,
By
This review is from: The Apocalypse of Ahmadinejad: The Revelation of Iran's Nuclear Prophet (Paperback)
Mark Hitchcock is part of the very disturbing chorus composed of figures such as John Hagee and Tim LaHaye who have created an entire industry of selling books, CDs and videos promoting U.S. imperialism by warning us about Islamic "plans" to conquer the world, or something. His latest, "The Apocalypse Of Ahmadinejad," is a direct shot at the current President of Iran, whom Hitchcock claims is hatching some sort of underground plan to destroy both Israel AND the U.S. to usher in the Islamic equivalent of the Christian Second Coming.
This kind of fantastical alarmism is similar to LaHaye's own writings about Saddam Hussein planning to build a "second Babylon" to usher in the end times, a plan apparently thwarted by the disastrous U.S. invasion of Iraq which LaHaye and Hitchcock feverishly support. Like John Hagee's "In Defense Of Israel," "The Apocalypse Of Ahmadinejad" suffers more from it's basic lack of good history as it does from the radical, almost cultish religious angle. Consider that even in the opening pages Hitchcock admits he's not very well-informed on geopolitics or political/historical matters, something which should already tell the reader something about the book's validity. Hitchock zeroes in on many of Ahmadinejad's more radical, neo-religious comments pertaining to classic Islamic symbols and beliefs, the problem is Hitchock takes them literally, never mentioning that the current Ayatollah of Iran has even limited Ahmadinejad's powers as President due to some of his more looney comments and is reported to be weary of radical stances Ahmadinejad has taken. Hitchcock also conveniently ignores basic history such as the fact that the Islamic Republic was not born out of some Satanic plan, but because in 1953 we overthrew Iran's elected, very progressive government headed by Mohammed Mossadegh. The CIA overthrew Mossadegh because he nationalized the nation's oil, a big no no to corporate powers such as ours, and then re-instated the very brutal regime of the Shah who in turn was overthrown in 1979 by what became the current government. Hitchcock, like Hagee and LaHaye also dismisses Israeli crimes in the occupied territories or the fact that Israel is the only real nuclear power in the region, instead painting them as the helpless victims surrounded by evil Muslims including those pesky Palestinians who live in a horrific apartheid state. Hitchcock also backs the imperial occupation of Iraq, accusing Iran of causing trouble in the country, not the foreign army who invaded the place. But it all somehow works for Hitchcock because Muslims are the children of Satan and they want to destroy us because we're Christian and our women wear miniskirts in America. Iran is a very complex nation, it has the second-highest Jewish population in the Middle East and a very strong, Liberal movement gaining more power little by little. If tensions get worst between the U.S. and Iran it would most likely happen due to the kind of military interventionism Hitchcock reports, one wonders how he would have reacted to the NIE report, where all 16 intelligence agencies of the U.S. concluded that Iran has no nuclear weapons program. And if Iran did arm itself, wouldn't it be logical considering a foreign power is invading it's neighbors and Israel is bent on dominating the region as seen in the brutal war it engaged with Lebanon in 2006? Again, Hitchcock simply dismisses important things like actual history and settles for Biblical code talk, Ahmadinejad's more curious quotes (not more curious than what President Bush says on a daily basis), and a recycled apocalyptic theory. One wonders how historians will look back at the kind of writings the radical fringe of Christian America produced, let us hope it's not for the need of understanding what drove America as a society to an armageddon of her own making.

Warmongering nutcase christofascist propaganda,
This review is from: The Apocalypse of Ahmadinejad: The Revelation of Iran's Nuclear Prophet (Paperback)
Don't waste your time unless you're gathering evidence for the 2015 Nuremberg Trials, when these authors along with the other people responsible for inciting war in the Middle East are ultimately brought to justice. That is, if there's a world left to live in and an honest person left to judge.
People like Hitchcock, Rosenberg, LaHaye ought to be made to spend the rest of their days attending the American soldiers whose bodies are broken as a result of the Elmer Gantry snake oil they opportunistically peddle. When they've finished that painful chore, they should be required to send every penny and shekel they've earned to the people of Iraq, Palestine, and Iran, whose lives, homes, culture, and economy their poison words have helped to destroy. |
