Koran Scholar: US Will Cease to Exist in 2007 (It's in the book!)

The Jerusalem Post ^ | March 29, 2005 | Khaled Abu Toameh

[quidnunc]

A thorough analysis of the Koran reveals that the US will cease to exist in the year 2007, according to research published by Palestinian scholar Ziad Silwadi.

The study, which has caught the attention of millions of Muslims worldwide, is based on in-depth interpretations of various verses in the Koran. It predicts that the US will be hit by a tsunami larger than that which recently struck southeast Asia.

"The tsunami waves are a minor rehearsal in comparison with what awaits the US in 2007," the researcher concluded in his study. "The Holy Koran warns against the Omnipotent Allah's force. A great sin will cause a huge flood in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans."

Silwadi, who is from the village of Silwad near Ramallah — the home of Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal — is not a world-renowned scholar. He said he decided to publish the findings of his research "out of a sense of responsibility because what is about to happen is extremely shocking and frightening."

His fear, he said, is that the world economy, which relies heavily on the US dollar, would be deeply affected by the collapse of the US.

"It would be fair to say that the world would be better off with a US that is not a superpower and that does not take advantage of weak nations than a world where this country does not exist at all," he added."The world will certainly lose a lot if and when this disaster occurs because of the great services that American society has rendered to the economy, industry and science."

Silwadi said his study of the Koran showed that the US would perish mainly because of its great sins against mankind, including the Native Americans and blacks.

SO let's party hardy...we've got less than 2 years. LOL

[Right Wing Assault]

Yeah, Yeah. That tsunami is going to wipe out Denver and St. Louis. And a mini-Great-Lakes-tsunami about a foot high is going to take out Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland.

[dead]

At least Nostradamus made it rhyme. Allah's lazy.

[sheik yerbouty]

I f*rt on Silwadi's beard! May his house fall in on him!

[NewHampshireDuo]

Guess we don't have to worry about Social Security.

[jwalburg]

But Ward Churchill will at least be safe.

[Freeper]

— is not a world-renowned scholar

REALLY!

[winner3000]

This is great news! On January 1, 2008, once the US is still there and no major tsunami has happened, the Koran will have been proven wrong once and for all!

[Nachum]

...and it says in my book right here that Ziad Silwadi will cease to exist in 2006.

Has he checked with Nostradamos, too?

[pennyfarmer]

"The world will certainly lose a lot if and when this disaster occurs because of the great services that American society has rendered to the economy, industry and science."

Well which is it if or when??? I thought is was Allah the all powerful, Allah the wise, Allah the magnificent, or maybe he's just plain Allah.(little spaceballs line).

This guy is so full of s**t its coming out of the top of his head.

[U S Army EOD]

Not so fast to laugh everybody. Should Michael Moore jump off a high dive near the ocean, this could all happen.

[Fast1]

TOO late It's a;ready happened and hit the devils children in Indonesia.

Can't be, my License expires in 2008 and I think the DMV knows more about these things than the Koran does.

[Fast1]

acready =already

[incredulous joe]

You bet. NPR will be clamoring for the story.

From what I gather Siladwi also had the Fighting Camels and the Infadels in his Final Four bracket,...but I guess he still did better than me.

[Brian328i]

Sounds like a panda pile...
I don't believe in this predictions crap, but what I found interesting is that I was watching the Bible Code predictions part 2 on the History Channel one night and one guy mentioned that there was to be a major conflict between Syria and Lebanon in 2005 (I don't remeber if he specified a month) but he thought it might be related to WMD smuggled from Iraq into some valley and were to be used against Lebanon by Syria. Was interesting though, I thought it related to the assassination of Lebanon's president(?).

[usgator]

Not so fast to laugh everybody. Should Michael Moore jump off a high dive near the ocean, this could all happen.

I never thought of this ... that's it, I'm going to start working on that Arc ... my neighbors are not gonna be happy about that.  I'm going to load two of every animal ... except liberals, of course.

[Popman]

For some strange reason, when I read the quotes from "Khaled Mashaal – is not a world-renowned scholar" I feel like it the C-Store owner guy from the Simpson's is saying it.

[Adrastus]

I'll tell you, I'm impressed. I'm almost overcome with the enormity of it all.

Although I have one small question. Once the US is extinct, who will these rabid hounds of hell turn on then? One another?

Big Al is not only lazy, he's non-existent. I guess after going so far as to allow them to "invent" the zero he was distracted by something of greater import.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the combination of arrogance and stupidity is an obstacle few Islamofascists will ever overcome.

[nhoward14]

I guess this means I have a limited time to join the Mile High Club.

[Charles H. (The_r0nin)]

Yeah, Yeah. That tsunami is going to wipe out Denver and St. Louis. And a mini-Great-Lakes-tsunami about a foot high is going to take out Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland.

Ummm, I'm really torn here. Considering that if what you said came to pass, these "blue" states would become red overnight (and the U.S. crime rate drop precipitously), I'm not sure if I should be rooting for or against this...

[JSteff]

I hate to rain on his islamic prediction parade.. but the Mayan calendar predicts the whole world ends in 2012. Comet, not tsunami.

I assume it was for re-electing Barbara Boxer.

Great! I could really do without Santa Cruz.

[doug from upland]

There is an upside. Hillary will never make it back to the White House.

[politicalwit]

"SO let's party hardy...we've got less than 2 years."

I've got a party boat...no need to stop partying because of a little water. GOT BEER?

[E=MC²]

By the laws of hydrodynamics, wouldn't huge tsunamis in the Pacific and Atlantic flood nearly EVERY country???

[Dubya-M-Dees]

This prediction can't come true soon enough for Muslim extremists.. At the rate things or going, there may not be any Islamic Fundamentalist states left by 2007...

[FlashBack]

Kinda like the nutcase that used to come into a resturant I worked at...said the world was going to end on such-and-such a day....the day finally came and went...the day after he came in for coffee like nothing happened, because NOTHING did happen!

[spinestein]

[I feel like it the C-Store owner guy from the Simpson's is saying it.]


"Worst prediction.....ever" --comic book store guy





BTW, C-store guy is drawn to look like Matt Groening.

[blam]

It's obvious he hasn't any idea how large is the land mass of the US. (Small minded fart)

Now, if he had said something about the super-volcano at Yellowstone...I'd give it some thought. That incident could totally wipe us out.

[politicalwit]

Farmers' Alamac doesn't call for an unusually wet season. End on discussion.

[Selene]

On another thread a few days ago, someone posted something about a Jihad web site "357". 3-5-7 -> 9-1-1

Does anyone remember this?

[swissmiss]

The full story references the suras this guy mined for this whopper. The lines are laughably vague, like the rest of the Koran.

[U S Army EOD]

You can go ahead and load two liberals of the same sex, they will still be happy.

[Imaverygooddriver]

Actually the US will cease to exist if Hitlery wins the election.

[nmh]

If they really believe it then how come terrorists still pursue us in the U.S. and every now and then they find a map that shows the wish to have the entire U.S. be muslim?

I think all or it is a crock of you know what.

[Peach]

We used to have a party barge. What fun.

I've got better than beer. Margueritas!!

[usgator]

You can go ahead and load two liberals of the same sex, they will still be happy.

hhhmmmm .... 2 "liberal" girls ... where's my digital recorder?  Those 40 days and 40 nights are gonna fly by!

[kenavi]

Here in L.A., Mrs. Lee next door got really scared when she read this.

She thought it said "Korean Scholar".

[marsh2]

IIlive at 3500 feet. Gotta be a big tsunami if it is to get passed us and on into to eastern California and Nevada

[U S Army EOD]

Unless Yellowstone cause the tidal wave. This could be a problem.

[Richard Kimball]

Yeah, right. That's what they said about Y2K, also. So what happens? Run my credit card up to the limit, buy two Mercedes and a Hummer, and the financial databases DON'T crash!!!! I'm not falling for it again!

I have a simple question for this great man.
If the event fails to happen, is he willing to embrace Christian fundamentalism and begin worshiping a greater God?

Clearly, recent natural disasters should give him a clue that someone is surely about to disappear. But perhaps he's identified the wrong culture?

[spinestein]

Big deal. I've been thoroughly analyzing AlGore's book "Earth in the Balance" and he reveals to me the United States will end in the year 2013. They can't both be right and I'll bet our god, AlGore is more right than their god AlKoran whatshisname.

[Peach]

Haha!

You didn't do all that stuff. (did you?)

[U S Army EOD]

You are missing something. They will only like each other. If you can stand to watch that for 40 days and 40 nights with out pushing them over board have at it.

[injin]

I'd love to see Islam cease to exist in the year 2007

[spinestein]

LOL!!!
