And he does, indeed, believe that we are in the end days and that “the Lord is coming back.” In order to bring about the return of Christ, however, Islam “has to be completely broken down” first. What, exactly, that involves is somewhat unclear, and pointing out, as Erfan does, that Iran must “crumble” doesn’t add much clarity, but one important thing we can do, as he sees it, is to show unwavering support for Israel: American Christians, says Erfan, must resist attempts by “the enemy” to diminish U.S. support for Israel, and in that respect, POTUS Shield is fighting “for the very survival of our nation at the seat judgment [sic] of Christ.” Otherwise, his efforts encompass mostly a lot of decreeing and yelling, some gavel striking, and prayer.
Erfan himself is – according to Erfan – an Iranian-American (former) half-Jew, half-Muslim who at some point became a Christian. He is the author of something called True Wealth: How to Fulfill your Dreams without Losing Your Soul, a book we really, really can’t be bothered to look at in any more detail.
Diagnosis: Raging lunatic, fundie-style. We don’t know how many followers he might have, but he seems to be among those who are eminently replaceable without much difference by any number of shrieking fundies out there.
