Muslim Antichrist? Idea stirs hornet's nest

Popular Turk personality fires back, says Christians teamed with Satan

A WND author’s bold claim that the biblical Antichrist will be Islamic has rankled one of the Mideast’s most dynamic personalities, prompting the creator of a TV show reportedly seen by millions to fire back that it’s not Muslims, but Christians who are “on the side of the Antichrist and Satan.”

Adnan Oktar, who writes Islamic creationist books under the pen name Harun Yahya, is reported by Reuters to be one of the most widely distributed authors in the Muslim world, with a publishing empire that boasts over 250 books in 52 languages. Israel’s Arutz Sheva reports his TV program seen by millions in the Middle East.

But Oktar – a white-suit clad personality who surrounds himself with glamorous women and opulence – is often accused of leading a sex-tainted cult in which some followers believe the author is actually Islam’s long-awaited savior, or “Mahdi.”

Apparently, Oktar is none too pleased with biblical research linking the Mahdi to the Antichrist.

Oktar devoted a television program recently to blasting Joel Richardson, author of the New York Times best-selling “The Islamic Antichrist: The Shocking Truth About the Real Nature of the Beast” and “Mideast Beast: The Scriptural Case for an Islamic Antichrist”, for drawing parallels between the rise of Islam in Turkey and the rise of the Antichrist.

“Evangelical author Joel Richardson, quoting the prophecies of the Gospels, … says that Turkey will become a power in the last days,” Oktar said, according to a translation of the show. “This Joel … is sitting in the lap of the Antichrist and he is not aware of it. The proponents of the Antichrist see the system of the Mahdi as the system of the Antichrist. … Seeing the Antichrist as the Mahdi and

Doesn’t it seem odd to islamists that the kaaba must be artifically lit to see it in the dark?

You forget that moslems feel that it is acceptable to lie ti infidels. Moslems will see the treaty for what it is.

“I have often wondered at the irony of chrstians warning against a future tyrant who will claim to be G-d when they already worship such a person.”

It is only ironic if that Person, Jesus Christ, isn’t truly God, and everything else that means. If it IS true, then to disbelieve would be very perilous, don’t you agree?

Bible or Koran, TV preachers are the same everywhere, neglecting the spiritual, overemphasizing the physical and the here and now for fun and profit. Mostly profit.

Interesting, but then you get all kinds of interpretations of it, including people who think it referred to the emperor Nero, obviously incorrectly.

I just wonder if it will become clearer as the day approaches.

If you look in the Bible at the verses that refer to the “Abomination of Desolation” you will see that Dome of the Rock Mosque sitting on top of the temple mound fits the description pretty well.

I think that Islam is the “false Christianity” referred to in scripture and that sometime soon the Jews are going to do something about the mosque sitting on THEIR most holy site. Last I heard there was evidence that the Wailing Wall wasn’t part of the ancient temple, but a wall of the Roman garrison. The actual site of the temple may be elsewhere on the mound.

The Antichrist will have the personal charm and integrity to be able to fool the people of the world into believing that he is a deity.

Sounds like (mooslim) Obama.

If Islam will be our future it will be only because we have a Congress that does not object to the idea.

That their children will become the real victims of their apathy is of no concern to them.

The Koran is a perverted version of the Bible. So that part fits.
///
good point!
...and the Bible says, Jesus will return, after another religion becomes the most numerous.
last year, that was reported as happening... Islam.
...if you read the Sura, the life of Mohammad,
and read about the Cave... most Christians would have no doubt, the “angel of light” was Satan himself, who instead of reassuring Mohammad, terrorized and choked him!
( never, in 3000 years, has a true angel done so... )
and the Bible warns also, that Satan can still appear as an angel.
-
so i have no doubt, Islam is the religion of the Beast.
(even small details, example, Psalms indicates Satan dislikes music... so what would the religion of Satan say about music? it would ban it. just as Islam says it is “haram”.
-
The Bible has marriage as a sacred sacrament, in both the new and old Testaments. In Corinthians, the Husband is told to love his wife, as Jesus loves his Church.
...Jesus himself, spoke out strongly against divorce.
=
...but in Islam? ... a wife is simply a field to till...
and can be divorced, as fast as the man can speak “i divorce you” 3 times...
