As of now, I too see Islam playing a major role. Perhaps even the ultimate role, depending upon what remains after MB/DB is taken out early in the end time scenario I currently envision.
Realistically, given a time frame of 5 years or less, I see Islam as a partner with something like the UN or NATO in the final battle against Israel, and perhaps a Western Remanent of some form or other. I don't think there is time enough for Islam to become the "one world government", though it's well on its way to doing so.
If the US, China, and Russia engage in a major exchange of nuclear weapons (ref: MB destroyed in one hour) then Islam may indeed rise up to become the dominate one world government. I see Islam as uniquely positioned to do so. Contributing will be Indonesia, the world's largest Islamic nation - childhood home of Obama.
Many things are converging now - all pointing toward this period in time as the beginning of a new age, as prophesied - NOT the "end of the world" as so many mistakenly believe.
He suggests that Westerners who study prophecy have a built in bias to see it through Western eyes whereas he sees it through Israeli and muslim eyes.
In his book "God's War on Terror," he sets Biblical prophecy sided by side with the Quran and Hadiths.
They line up perfectly with the Quran and Hadiths being a perverted mirror image of Biblical prophecy.
If you haven't read his book (w/Richardson), check out the reviews at the link above.
It was the reviews that convinced me to read it.
There are a few errors in it as might be expected (for example, he overestimates the size/power of the Turkish military - says it is second only to that of the U.S. - simply not true).
