By Marci Glover


Islamic religion has increased rapidly in the world. The question whether the next Antichrist will arise from the Muslim community has been subject to great speculation and debate. The expected Muslim Antichrist has become a subject among leaders of different religions and believers. Islamic is the second largest religion after Christianity.

Literature materials by various authors like Joel Richardson have indicated in their writings that it is true the figure will rise from Islamic religion. However there are literary materials that opposite the idea and strongly hold to the biblical interpretation that the figure will come from the west. Many are not inclined to any of these beliefs hence remain with many answered questions.

Efforts to understand the various arguments have triggered people to study the happenings in the Mideast in relation to what those of the scripture. There has been overthrowing of various governments in a number of Muslim countries bringing to an end authoritarian regime of presidents. Longtime president of Tunis Ben Ali was toppled from power. In Libya, Colonel who had been in power for over thirty years was shot dead. Egypt witnessed the fall of Mubarak and so has Syria.

The professed goal of Islamic Brotherhood is to attain an international caliphate; centralized Islamic rule. The notion has spearheaded revolts by Islamic community. It is believed that they will have enormous wealth and an age of strength. This will help in the spread of Islam all over the world. Many argue that the threat of Islam spreading beyond any national border is real.

Islamic community aims at destroying nations like Israel and United States. They believe the two countries have been a major barrier for their activities. This is meant to be the initial tangible step that will help initiate the revolution that is supposed to see the entire globe fall under Islamic religion.

A faction of the Muslim community holds the view the messiah will be a product of elections by people representing various nations that generally profess Islam. Another faction believes that the leader will be a supernatural being who comes from the lineage of Allah. They believe he will come from a secret place he has been residing for many years.

Many Christians have conceded to the belief that Mahdi will fulfill what is contained in the bible about the coming of an Antichrist. Muslims have fostered the belief by being vocal about it. Many in the western societies have started to believe this, and so have Christians. They take that this supernatural being is the one talked about in the bible that will come and deceive the Jewish people he is the true messiah that the Christian community has long awaited.

The quick growth of Islamic religion has become alarming. Today the religion is found in America and Europe among the regions. The movement is spreading at a high rate and members are becoming more united. The leaders of the religion have interpreted it as the beginning of grand caliphate. Its leadership has never denied the allegation which is a major factor that has made many believe Antichrist will emerge from the religion.
