Ever since ancient times the Antichrist is always been of European Decent. There have been entitlements that developed in regard to the foretold the false messiah being of Islamic Origin. Opinions and different points of views have been raised across different religious based groups regarding the impending approach of the Antichrist. The question that many ask is, Will the Antichrist Be a Muslim? We look at these discussions brought forth across both platforms, the Islamic and Christian Antichrist.
According to a section of Islamic community, the Shiite, who are highly populated in Iraq, believe that there have been twelve prophets who came after Prophet Mohamed. The prophets who are referred to as Imams are the spiritual leaders of the Islamic community. The twelfth Imam was called Muhammad Al Mahdi born around 868, who entered a cave while aged six years to hide from a time where persecution was rampant and will return from the cave just before the judgment day.
Some section of Christian topologists, they bring forth the argument that he will be Islam. They claim that that according to prophet Micah in the bible, his end time prophecy the Assyrian invaded the land of Israel referring to the Assyrian as the Antichrist. The argument further claims that according to the book of Revelation the false messiah is described as being Leopard like with the feet of a bear and the mouth of lion, where according to Daniel the Medo-Persian Empire is depicted as a Leopard.
Other Bible Scholars refer to the book of Daniel where he describes a vision about a succession of empires. Daniel describes a ram representing the Medo-Persian Empire which is trampled by a goat which had a unique horn between its eyes. They all are in agreement that the horn represents Antiochus Epiphanes who arose out of the Seleucid section of Alexanders empire.
Despite all this arguments, there are also claims that the false messiah is not going to be from Islamic Religion. Prophet Daniel speaks about a peace agreement between the fake messiah and Israel for duration of seven years. Prophet Daniel goes on and prophesies about the recreation of the temple by the Antichrist. Further evidence further points the fake messiah will not be Islam due to the hostile nature between Christian community and the Islamic community.
Some scholars further claim that he is not going to be a Muslim due to Geographic locality. According to the bible the anticipated Antichrist is going to emerge from the new Roman Empire, which will be in the countries where the former Roman Empire was located. Sections of Europe and some parts of Africa made part of the Roman Empire yet Europeans have led the Empire and not Muslims.
Further evidence further points out the Assyrian which is referred in the bible dos not necessarily pay reference to Antichrist. This evidence is emphasized in the book of Micah, where the Assyrian referred to in the book was the enemy of Israel, and God had offered to protect Israel from all enemies.
Also the Assyrians are mostly Christians further countering the implication of a Muslim Antichrist. Huge populations of Assyrians are mostly found in the countries of Syria, Iraq and Turkey. Even with them living in Islamic nations they are mostly Christians. This further reduces the claims of the false messiah being a Muslim.
