Koran Scholar: US Will Cease to Exist in 2007 (It's in the book!)

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.

Well .. I don't believe that - and the Bible says - NO ONE KNOWS WHEN THE END WILL COME - NOT EVEN THE SON - ONLY THE FATHER KNOWS (and He's not telling).

However, Paul taught believers, "It has been given unto you to know the mysteries and secrets of the Kingdom."

So .. believe me .. there will be an event which will get the world's attention and everybody will know.

Actually if you get hit by a truck crossing the street, as far as you are concerned, the world ended. So why worry about it and just watch for trucks.

...camels find them particularly attractive (faces), especially in the clear star lite romantic nights in Baghdad.

If the Muslims whole heartedly believe this prediction, and nothing happens, and it's already 2008, would there be a mass rejection and exodus from Islam ?
The Muslims and Islam will one day have to admit it is a false religion, and it is nothing but a cult, and Mohamed is a false prophet, and they will maybe embrace Christianity.
I don't think, this ( GREAT TSUMIMI ) is going to happen, that will hit the USA and destroy the USA.
What we are seeing today, and last DEC, seems like, it's ISLAM that is being destroyed by the Earth.
How about all this talk before the last Gulf war, how Islam was going to rise up and defend Saddam ?

Good point!

The only real question is: Do you know where you'll spend eternity.

If you know that answer - There's no reason to be worried about trucks or other things.

OK, I read these posts and none of you guys get the symbolism of the prediction. Maybe for this twit tsunami is code for a dozen nukes smuggled into our largest cities. That is the only way the Ol' Allah might pull this off.

Hate to burst bubbles but the tsunami prediction may not be too far off....

Ya know, if I believed this, I'd run out and buy everything I ever wanted with borrowed money and credit cards, and like like a fricking sultan for 2 years until the poop hit the fan.

May Allah enlarge his turdban.

Then perhaps we should throw Hillary in or stuff that volcano with Michael Moore.

"...the Mayan calendar predicts the whole world ends in 2012. Comet, not tsunami.
Nah, the Earth will collide with the celestial axis (or was it ecliptic plane?).

[clee1]

Nope, that would just pi$$ the volcano off!

[U S Army EOD]

But it would sure make me and a lot of other people happy.

I'm very glad to hear that. You do the most scary job - I consider you the bravest of the brave. Thank you!

When we screw up, we are always the first to know about it.

I can't even joke about that!

Plus you don't get chewed out for making a mistake.
