Serious derangement

Is it true that Madmood Madjihadimad really believes the Mahdi has been hiding at the bottom of a well somewhere down south since the 10th century, waiting to jump out at an apocalyptic moment that will mark the end of time? And is it true that he sees his primary duty here on earth as that of preparing for this event and hastening the apocalyptic moment along? Seriously creepy. We know this and we still stick to the diplomatic approach? Are we as mad as he?
