Islam remains the fastest growing religion on earth after Christianity. It followers are the second largest in the world. Recently, debate has intensified with regard to a possible Muslim Antichrist.This has been coupled with widespread speculation especially from the leadership of various religions.
Writings by individuals like Joel Richardson have sought to suggest that the next Antichrist will arise from the Islamic culture. However, other writers are strongly opposed to the idea to this idea and maintain that he will be of western origin as the bible has been interpreted for many years. Therefore, the debate has degenerated into two major arguments;whether he will be from the west or of Islamic origin.
People have compared what has been happening in the Middle East in relation to what the bible contains to fully comprehend this argument. In a number of countries in the Middle East, the leadership has been forcefully removed from power by radicals. In Tunis, Ben Ali was the first to be forcefully removed from power and elections conducted in the country after what observers term as years of authoritarianism. Similar incidences took place in Libya and Egypt where Colonel Qaddafi and Hosni Mubarak were toppled from power respectively. The same scenario was evidenced in Syria.
These revolts were spearheaded by the Islamic Brotherhood which has now declared itself as the Arab leadership. The professed goal of this movement is the attainment of an international caliphate; centralized Islamic rule. With this they believe 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.
The Brotherhood has not shied away from stating its belief that by annihilating countries like United States and Israel, it will have come closer to the great revolution that will seem the entire world turn to Islam under the leadership of their messiah (Mahdi).
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.
The vocal Muslim leadership has made this argument gain more credit. Christians have also started to believe that this supernatural being talked about is the Antichrist. According to the bible, he will lie to the Jewish people that he is the true messiah that the Christian community has been waiting for.
Growth of Islam into European countries and the United States of America, Islam growing stronger and more united has fostered the belief among Muslim leadership that Islam will be globally victorious. However, others have interpreted this to mean the coming of a Antichrist.
