A thorough analysis of the Koran reveals that the US will cease to exist in the year 2007, according to research published by Palestinian scholar Ziad Silwadi.
The study, which has caught the attention of millions of Muslims worldwide, is based on in-depth interpretations of various verses in the Koran. It predicts that the US will be hit by a tsunami larger than that which recently struck southeast Asia.
"The tsunami waves are a minor rehearsal in comparison with what awaits the US in 2007," the researcher concluded in his study. "The Holy Koran warns against the Omnipotent Allah's force. A great sin will cause a huge flood in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans."
Silwadi, who is from the village of Silwad near Ramallah — the home of Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal — is not a world-renowned scholar. He said he decided to publish the findings of his research "out of a sense of responsibility because what is about to happen is extremely shocking and frightening."
His fear, he said, is that the world economy, which relies heavily on the US dollar, would be deeply affected by the collapse of the US.
"It would be fair to say that the world would be better off with a US that is not a superpower and that does not take advantage of weak nations than a world where this country does not exist at all," he added."The world will certainly lose a lot if and when this disaster occurs because of the great services that American society has rendered to the economy, industry and science."
Silwadi said his study of the Koran showed that the US would perish mainly because of its great sins against mankind, including the Native Americans and blacks.

SO let's party hardy...we've got less than 2 years. LOL
Yeah, Yeah. That tsunami is going to wipe out Denver and St. Louis. And a mini-Great-Lakes-tsunami about a foot high is going to take out Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland.
At least Nostradamus made it rhyme. Allah's lazy.
I f*rt on Silwadi's beard! May his house fall in on him!
Guess we don't have to worry about Social Security.
But Ward Churchill will at least be safe.
REALLY!
This is great news! On January 1, 2008, once the US is still there and no major tsunami has happened, the Koran will have been proven wrong once and for all!
...and it says in my book right here that Ziad Silwadi will cease to exist in 2006.
Has he checked with Nostradamos, too?
Not so fast to laugh everybody. Should Michael Moore jump off a high dive near the ocean, this could all happen.
Can't be, my License expires in 2008 and I think the DMV knows more about these things than the Koran does.
You bet. NPR will be clamoring for the story.
From what I gather Siladwi also had the Fighting Camels and the Infadels in his Final Four bracket,...but I guess he still did better than me.
Sounds like a panda pile...
I don't believe in this predictions crap, but what I found interesting is that I was watching the Bible Code predictions part 2 on the History Channel one night and one guy mentioned that there was to be a major conflict between Syria and Lebanon in 2005 (I don't remeber if he specified a month) but he thought it might be related to WMD smuggled from Iraq into some valley and were to be used against Lebanon by Syria. Was interesting though, I thought it related to the assassination of Lebanon's president(?).
I never thought of this ... that's it, I'm going to start working on that Arc ... my neighbors are not gonna be happy about that. I'm going to load two of every animal ... except liberals, of course.
