Islamic clerics herald the imminent conquest of Rome by Islam, in accordance with the prophecy of Mohammed. Sheik Yousef Al-Qaradhawi, a most influential Sunni cleric said: “Islam shall return to Europe as a Conqueror”. In a ‘Fatwa’ he quoted the Prophet Mohammed who said: “The city of Heracles [Constantinople – now Istanbul or ‘Islam-Boul’] will be conquered first; then Romiyya – today called ‘Rome’ the capital of Italy [and center of Catholic Christianity]…The conquest will be by a [Hudabiyya] treaty. The conquest of Romiyya means that Islam will return to Europe and, Allah willing, Europeans will convert to Islam – and disseminate Islam in the world.” Sudi Sheikh Muhammad bin Abd al-Rahman al’Arifi, imam of the mosque of King Faud Academy said: “We will control the land of the Vatican…the Christians who carve crosses on the breast of Muslims in Kosovo and Bosnia will pay us the Jiziya [poll tax paid by non-Muslims or ‘Dhimmis’] in humiliation or they will convert to Islam.” (5)
