This would be funny if it wasn't so sad and scaryInsha'Allah that guy will recover and realise his error.
The speaker should have listed more reasons other than just speaking Arabic. I hope maybe he spoke to the guy after the show.

Salaam Alaykum
br , may be posted a video ...sorry I can't see anything
Can u describe what u want to say ?
LOL at Imam Mehendi haha...I shouldnt laugh, but the face expression of the guy in the back was truly priceless. I think the guy was little mentally ill, the host could have been little nicer instead of making everyone chuckle about it. The only thing I dont like about some of the Peace TV shows is when people start to clap. It is not from Islam to clap. It is from jahilliyah. And its even more annoying when some of the hosts or lecturers gives the audience time to clap and does not tell them not to clap. may Allah increase us in knowledge and forgive us.
People claiming to be the Mahdi
Main article: People claiming to be the Mahdi
Muhammad Ahmad, a Sudanese sufi sheikh, created a state, the Mahdiyah, on the basis of his claim to be the Mahdi.
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed to be the Mahdi and the second coming of Jesus and founded Ahmadiyya, an Islamic religious movement.Since the birth of Islam, various individuals have claimed to be the Mahdi. Similar to the notion of a Messiah in the Judeo-Christian religions, the notion of a Mahdi as a redeemer to establish a society has lent itself to various interpretations leading to different claims within minorities or by individuals within Islam.
The first historical reference to a movement using the name of Mahdi is al-Mukhtar's rebellion against the Umayyad caliphate in 686 CE, almost 50 years after Muhammad's death. Al-Mukhtar claimed that Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah, a son of the fourth caliph and first Shia imam, Ali, was the Mahdi and would save the Muslim people from the rule of the Umayyads. Ibn al-Hanifiyyah himself was not actively involved in the rebellion, and when the Umayyads successfully quashed it, they left him undisturbed.
Muhammad Jaunpuri (1443–1505), founder of the Mahdavi sect, was born in Jaunpur in northeastern India (in the modern-day state of Uttar Pradesh), a descendant of the imam Husayn through Musa al-Kadhim. He claimed to be the Mahdi on three occasions, first in Mecca and then in two places in India, attracting a large following, although opposed by the ulema. He died at the age of 63 in the year 1505 at Farah, Afghanistan, and is buried in a sanctuary there.
The Báb (Arabic: الباب / English: the Gate) claimed to be the Mahdi in 1844, thereby founding the religion of Bábism. He was later executed by firing squad in the town of Tabriz. His remains are currently kept in a tomb at the Bahá'í World Centre in Haifa, Israel. The Báb is considered the forerunner of Bahá'u'lláh (pronounced ba-haa-ol-laa / Arabic: بهاء الله / English: Glory of God), and both are considered prophets of the Bahá'í Faith. The declaration by the Báb to be the Mahdi is considered by Baha'is to be the beginning of the Bahá'í calendar.[37]
Muhammad Ahmad, a Sudanese sufi sheikh of the Samaniyya order, declared himself Mahdi in June 1881 and went on to lead a successful military campaign against the Turko-Egyptian government of Sudan. Although he died shortly after capturing the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, in 1885, the Mahdist state continued under his successor, Abdallahi ibn Muhammad, until 1898, when it fell to the British army following the Battle of Omdurman.
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed to be both the Mahdi and the second coming of Jesus in the late nineteenth century in British India. He founded the Ahmadiyya religious movement in 1889, which, although considered by its followers to be Islam in its pure form, is not recognized as such by the majority of mainstream Muslims. In 1974, the Pakistani parliament adopted a law declaring the Ahmadis to be non-Muslims. Since Ghulam Ahmad's death, the Ahmadiyya community has been led by his successors and has grown considerably.[38]
In the twentieth century, Muhammad bin abd Allah al-Qahtani was proclaimed the Mahdi by his brother-in-law, Juhayman al-Otaibi, who led over 200 militants to seize the Grand Mosque in Mecca in November 1979. The uprising was defeated after a two-week siege in which at least 300 people were killed.
A number of people have been claimed to be the Mahdi by their followers or supporters, including:
Muhammad ibn Abdallah An-Nafs Az-Zakiyya
Muhammad ibn Abdullah al-Aftah ibn Ja'far al-Sadiq
Ja'far al-Sadiq (according to the Tawussite Shia)
Musa al-Kadhim (according to the Waqifite Shia)
Muhammad ibn Qasim (al-Alawi)
Yahya ibn Umar
Muhammad ibn Ali al-Hadi
Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi (according to Messiah Foundation International)
