Calendar: Islam: Iran's Prez Ahmadinejab chooses Muslim religious date for nuclear announcement

.
Two writers in Frontpage Magazine, Robert Spencer and Gordon Cucullu, discuss the religious background of the date chosen by Iran's President Ahmadinejad for a major announcement on August 22 this year (Rajab 27, 1427 in Muslim dating), the annual event on the Islamic Calendar marking the Prophet Mohammed's Nightride from Al=Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, a legendary event that forms the ideological basis from Muslim cliams to the city. The event is called "Miraj." [Hat Tip to Regime Change Iran.]
