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.

IIlive at 3500 feet. Gotta be a big tsunami if it is to get passed us and on into to eastern California and Nevada
Unless Yellowstone cause the tidal wave. This could be a problem.
Yeah, right. That's what they said about Y2K, also. So what happens? Run my credit card up to the limit, buy two Mercedes and a Hummer, and the financial databases DON'T crash!!!! I'm not falling for it again!
I have a simple question for this great man.
If the event fails to happen, is he willing to embrace Christian fundamentalism and begin worshiping a greater God?
Clearly, recent natural disasters should give him a clue that someone is surely about to disappear. But perhaps he's identified the wrong culture?
Haha!
You didn't do all that stuff. (did you?)
You are missing something. They will only like each other. If you can stand to watch that for 40 days and 40 nights with out pushing them over board have at it.
I'd love to see Islam cease to exist in the year 2007
LOL!!!
I don't think we want him, let the camal drivers keep him.
"A great sin will cause a huge flood in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans."
I knew it. They are going to drop Hillary in.
If the courts continue on their current path, we might wish for a good rinse.
Sadly, Silwadi won't lose an ounce of credibility with his followers come 2008.
You might have stumbled on to something else, maybe we can stop the Yellowstone Volcanic Eruption by throwing Hillery in as a sacrafice.
No. Not really. I did hear of a few people doing stuff like that, though.
Lots and lots of people have claimed that the Bible predicted the end of the world on some particular date or another, yet people don't consider it to have been "proven wrong once and for all".
Gee, that is funny.
Wasn't Islam suppose to cease to exist once man walked on the moon?
Touche.
You sounded too smart to have done that. LOL
I know people who did that too.
We gave a big New Year's Eve party and everyone was talking about what they'd done. Mostly just small stuff like money out of the bank, gassed the car, water bottled.
They asked what we did and told them nothing. By 12:05 a.m. when nothing happened, they were feeling a little foolish.
