--and what did Nostradmus say?---oh, that's right -he had the world ending in 1996--never mind---

The only thing I recall reading about Nostradamus -- back in the late 60s, when I was in college -- was that he said the final battle would be against Islam. I only remember it because it seemed so unlikely -- in the late 60s it seemed a "final battle" against Communism (Russian or Chinese) was not so unlikely as one would hope -- but Islam?
