Beheading does seem to be the favored form of martyrdom in Revelations.
If I remember correctly the anti-christ is supposed to be noted for a ‘blue turban’ on his head - sound like a muzzie to me
yes obama is muslim
Does the Antichrist have a birth certificate?
Could a tool of Satan be a muslim? hmmmmmm yeah I think so
United Church of Christ.
More specifically, Trinity UCC.
Seriously, speculation on this sorta thing seems ill-advised. I have a hard enough time understanding the faith of Christian friends who are seduced by Obama’s messianic claims.
Crescent and Star
Sword is Shiite only as I recall
The great majority of Christians who have studied Islam have for many years concluded that the Mahdi, the Twelfth Imam, is the same person as the Christian AntiChrist.
And consider this...if the Mahdi is the AntiChrist, who is the Dajjal?
and women will not like him.....guard well the wheat and the oil
he will come out of Iran, Iraq, or southern Turkey....
Odds are you betcha
In Left Behind, the antichrist was European and his name was Nicolae ... so clearly he cannot be an arabic muslim.

Since the OT keeps referring to him as the “Assyrian,” I’d say there’s a better than even chance.
I was fairly skeptical on this subject for a long time thinking that the ‘great delusion’ that comes on the world was more likely some new age environmentalism sort of religion. After reading something on the demographics of the growing Islamic presence in Europe I began to rethink. Check out Mark Steyn’s book, ‘America Alone’.

For a good study on the relationship b/n Islam and the Anti-Christ, try ‘The Islamic Antichrist’ by Joel Richardson.

“Could Antichrist be Muslim?”
No. Second Thessalonians 2:4.
Don’t play one part of Scripture off against another part. To do so is to try to force God into contradicting Himself. This all too common practice is the reason we have so many different denominations and sects, each convinced it has found some overarching, unifying principle of interpretation that overrules all others. In fact, this is the very spirit of antichrist, who seeks to establish confusion and doubt, and not the certainty of heaven-sent faith (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 6:43-45 et al.).
If the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are indeed the very word of God, which is, and has always been, the belief and confession of the Holy Christian Church, then “all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17) God is, according to the testimony of the Scriptures in many different places, the Author of truth. He is truth itself. He does not contradict Himself. He does not say what is not true or will become untrue. He does not forget what He says. This is the good, almighty, and gracious God of Christianity, and not of any one denomination, sect, or individual.
To be sure, the spirit of antichrist was at work in the church (that is always his hunting ground) before the time of Muhammad, preparing the ground for him. But Muhammad and his followers have long since placed themselves outside of the church of Christ, and so are no longer hiding in the church and trying to stand in the place of the Christ - which is what the “anti-” of Antichrist really means - but standing outside of it as an open and public enemy of Christ and all who follow Him.
Is Obama the antichrist?
During his campaign in Europe he put his slogans on the Wailing Wall:

The term 666 refers to how much money Salomon got in taxes one year after he ‘went rouge’ on God. This was considered an unbearable burden on the people of ancient Israel. Obama raised close to 666 million dollars and his policies will eventually raise taxes to an unbearable level.
So John with this in mind says: “His number will be a number of man. His sign will be that he will place unbearable taxes on the people”.
Jesus says in Luke 10:18: “I saw Satan as Barack Obama…”

He will be considered a man of peace. Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize.
The bible mentions a “Head Wound” as one of the things about the Antichrist.
This means something that is a mortal wound, that will stop you in your tracks, that will make normal life impossible.
Could it be the fact that legally he is ineligible to serve?
Certainly that would have been a mortal wound for most presidential campaigns.
It has been reported that one of his first major acts as President was to federally fund stem cell research (which is superfluous since adults stem cells will do) and to fund abortions worldwide. Not only does this sound exactly like the first thing that the AntiChrist would do, Europe is already in danger of going to Sharia law because of low birth rates of Christians compared to Muslims.
While it is widely accepted that the Catholic Church will be the instrument of the devil in the end days, actually the antichrist will have a confrontation with the Catholic Church. This story broke recently:

And there are ongoing conflicts with the Catholic Church and 0bama.
Nostradamus on the AntiChrist:
“When his time comes he will take advantage of the political situation
in a country to rise to power. It will not matter that he is not a
native of the country. He will take advantage of loopholes and
contrive positions. He may aggressively and audaciously seize a
position in a military organization…”
Vol 1 Pg 180
The antichrist is expected to be rather hard on Israel. This looks like it might be shaping up. It also looks like he will use the ‘fairness doctrine’ to silence talk radio, the Internet and Fox news. He has talked about a ‘civilian force as well funded as the military’ that will NOT be like Nazi brown shirts. They will be “green shirts”.The Third Secret of Fatima in addition to predicting JohnPaul II’s attempted assignation predicted that the FOLLOWING POPE would be the last. Pope Benedict XVI is now 80.
Well I am not saying he is the antichrist I am just mentioning this for consideration.
And hopefully he’ll be out of office in 2012.
Wait a minute that is the end of the Mayan Calendar!
I think the anti-christ may be satan incarnate, since what he does is imitate when he gets the chance. He will be a muslem because that is the false religion he set up.
I may not live to hear the trumpet, but it will surely be soon. I have noticed that our longsuffering God moves very swiftly in His own time.
I think his mother could be Muslim.
Daniel 11 speaks to other attributes of the antichrist:
Daniel 11:37
Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
