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.

And to top it off.... it'll be harder to go bankrupt. There's no way Congress would've passed that reform if 2007 it's all over.
"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."
Not that I agree with the so call prediction, but the Great Lakes can experience something called a Seiche. Here is one example: http://www.detnews.com/2001/metro/0109/14/d06e-294082.htm . When I lived in Chicago in the late 70s I remember the life guards chasing everybody away from Lake Michigan because of a Seiche warning.
Given the Islamic lead in the slave trade, I would be careful of just whose demise is being foretold. Not to mention its butchery of tens of millions of innocent people since the Old Prophet starting believing himself some 1,300 years ago. Makes me want to invest in ocean front property--if I had any money to invest.
Muslims setting themselves up for mass disappointment again...
at least we dont have to fix social security. thats a relief.
If he had referred to homosexuality, abortion, and socialism, I might have thought some substance, albeit spiritually deceptive substance might have been at the heart of the prediction,.....but since the issues are American Indian and African-American treatment, I know he's a charlatan.
"This prediction can't come true soon enough for Muslim extremists."
OBL, 2002: "We shall destroy the infidel American"
OBL, pre-election: "Er, how about a cease-fire?"
Today, unknown non-scholar: "Allah will drown America.. in a few years... maybe."
LMAO!
ROFL
It reminds me of a nutcase religion a few of my family members got suckered into joining.
They were always predicting that the world was going to end on such-and-such a day.
When it didn't happen I would ask them, "What happened?"
The response was always the same: "Oh, we mis-calculated. It's really going to be on such-and-such a day."
Those predictions were forty years ago.
Their track record isn't so hot.
Let's not push our luck too far....
I prefer The Weekly World News.
Do you think we could get some water here in Kansas? We've been in a drought for years...
"...the Great Lakes can experience something called a Seiche"
Yeah, that's true. I live right along the lake. Here's another web page: http://www.islandnet.com/~see/weather/almanac/arc2004/alm04jun.htm
The whole lake gets sloshing back and forth like a big pan of water. When the wind blows hard from the east, the get flooding in the low areas in the western end. It approaches 10 feet higher sometimes.
I think that volcano-sacrifice thing only works if you use a virgin.
AC/DC might just make the volcano god even angrier.
It is the bath tub effect. The waves are very, very steep and rough on shipping.
Right! Just like Allah judged all the christians in the tsunami aftermath in SE Asia.
Hasn't Allah expended his political capital yet.
He's a nut case and he's all wrong. I asked my magic eight ball, the US will not cease to exist in 2007. Rest easy.
Ya better make sure they are of 2 genders.
According to Bill, she is still a virgin. (I was waiting on that one and my chance to strike).
