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.
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.
This belief has made some in the west believe that this Mahdi will fulfill what is contained in the bible about the coming of an Antichrist. 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.
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.
