I notice that none other than Moqtada al-Sadr has now come out in support of the Democrats' funding bill that puts limits on the occupation of Iraq. According to this articlehe has even gone further than most Democrats and called Bush the "antichrist".
If this seems a strange turn of phrase for a Shi'ia Moslem Juan Cole explains that what he really called Bush was the Dajjal -- a one-eyed demon who once appeared to the Prophet Mohammad in a vision.
In Islamic lore the Mahdi or promised one will return at the end of time to restore the world to justice. He will be opposed by an evil one-eyed figure, the Dajjal, which is usually translated the "anti-Christ" by analogy with apocalyptic Christian beliefs. Muqtada called Bush the Dajjal.
Muqtada addressed President Bush in a letter read in the Iraqi parliament
"Here are the Democrats demanding that you withdraw at least with a timetable and you are stubborn against them," [. . . ] "You are like the one-eyed Antichrist. You look with one eye and refuse to look with the other," . . .
