Islamic religion is rapidly on the increase in the world. Today, it is the world second largest religion after Christianity and the first in terms of growth.There has been great speculation and debate by different religions and believers as a whole about the possibility of a Muslim Antichrist.
Many materials have been published supporting the belief that the Antichrist will arise from the Islamic community. However, such views by individuals like Richardson about have been opposed by many who prefer to stick to prior bible interpretation of a western savior. The argument has therefore been whether the Antichrist will come from the west or from among east.
To sufficiently understand this argument, deep understanding of the happenings in the Middle East is paramount. Various authoritarian regimes have in the recent past been toppled from power in Middle East countries. Colonel Gaddafi was removed from power after more than thirty years in power. Similar incidences were experienced in Egypt, Syria and Tunisia where powerful heads of state have forced to relinquish power after decades of authoritarianism.Most of these former leaders have been executed or put into custody.
The revolts in these particular countries were led by the Muslim Brotherhood which lay claim to being the Arab leadership. The maintain goal of this group is to establish an international caliphate. This means the establishment of a centralized Islamic rule. An attainment of this fete is believed to bring wealth and great power to these people. This will then help in the actualization of their dream of having an Islam Caliphate that will spread across the world hence paving way for him. Many are of the view that Islam growth beyond borders is real.
The brotherhood strongly believes that the destruction of Israel and the United States will be a step towards the great revolution that will see the whole world convert into Islam. They hold the belief that their Mahdi (messiah figure) is the one to lead the grand caliphate.
Conflicts have however emerged regarding the rise of their messiah (Mahdi). Some Muslims believe that he will be elected by various Muslim government representatives while others are of the view that he will come from the lineage of Allah and shall appear from a secret place he has been living for many years.
It is this belief that has made many westerners and Christians believe that Mahdi is the Antichrist who will bring to pass what is in the bible that a false messiah will come and deceive the Jewish that he is the true messiah who the Christian fraternity have long awaited. The belief in the has further been reinforced by how vocal Islamic leadership has been on this particular issue.
Growth of Islam has been evident. It has infiltrated Europe, America and other parts of the world. The religion also continues to be stronger and united. Its leadership has interpreted this as a sign of emergence of the grand caliphate. These are some of the reasons that have made many predict the dominance and victory of Islam in the world as inevitable and hence the belief of an Antichrist who hails from the Islamic community.
