Islam growth in the world has increased at a very high rate in the past few years. Its membership forms the second largest religion worldwide. In the recent days many people have speculated and debated that the Antichrist will come from this community. One of the topics of discussion among believers and leaders of various religions is Muslim Antichrist. People hold different beliefs about this expected word Messiah.
Materials by different authors have been published supporting the belief that the figure will come from the Islamic community. On the contrary views by individuals like Richardson have been opposed vehemently by people who unequivocally believe the figure will hail from the western community as the bible has been interpreted for many years
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.
Islamic Brotherhood has largely been associated with the revolts . The movement has been witnessed taking advantage of various volatile situations in those countries with an aim of proclaiming itself the Arab leadership. The sole aim for the movement is to ensure an international caliphate which is supposed to usher in a centralized Islamic rule. The anticipation of the movement is that it will gain a lot of wealth and power which will help be at a better position to achieve their dream of spreading their religion to Asia, Africa and Europe.
The Muslim brotherhood aims at destroying Israel and United States because they are a barrier to their activities. They view this step as a stepping stone 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.
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.
This belief has made many Christians and westerners inclined to the notion that the Antichrist will bring to pass what is in the bible that a false messiah will come and deceive the Jewish that he is the real messiah that Christians in the entire globe have long awaited. The belief that the figure will arise from Muslim community has been reinforced by the current happening and the perception that Islamic leaders have on this particular issue.
The quick spread of the religion in United States of America and European countries is alarming. Islam becoming more united and stronger is an evidence that indeed with time the religion will be globally victorious. However, many have interpreted this to mean that Islam will produce the Antichrist.
