Koran scholar: US will cease to exist in 2007

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.

There IS another coast, ya know. Why does everybody forget the Gulf Coast, my swimmin' hole.

[avg_freeper]

He's just not entirely familiar with English grammar. Of course he meant to say:

WE will cease to exist in 2007.

[Nateman]

There is an island in the South Atlantic which has the potential for a vast landslide which would create a huge wave that would hit the East Coast. Since that consists of the vast majority of people who voted for Kerry it wouldn't be all bad.

[WKUHilltopper]

Well, I guess I shouldn't bother with putting a new roof on my house....

[reagan_fanatic]

We'll still be here long after you mooselimbs self-destruct, Silwadi, so, here's your sign...

[WKUHilltopper]

"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."

You sure that's not the Palestinian Scholar, I bin Drinkin'?

[BlueNgold]

So, when 2008 rolls around and we are still here will these same 'millions of Muslims worldwide' toss out the Koran?

Terrible awful religious/race stereotyped joke to follow:
Page down now to avoid being offended...

In other news, analysts are predicting a buyers market in convenience stores on the mid-term investment horizon, with prices breaking severely sometime in late 2006 and lasting through early 2008. Other market-watchers noted that there is an unrelated but all the same uncannily similar co-indicator in the car-for-hire industry.

(I warned you!)

The Bible code did predict a cataclysmic (sp?) disaster in 2006. May there's something to this... /sarcasm

06 or 07 will not see the end of the US, however if Hillary wins in 08 all bets are off.

After this time-period of great purging and conversion, then peace will encompass the entire world comprised entirely of Muslim followers.

This is what Muslims mean when they say they want "peace."

They refer to their version of the end of days, after the islamic enchanted forest scenario when the trees and rocks have come alive and commanded the Muslims to kill Jews... and all the non-Muslims in the Darul Harb have "submitted."

[Marguerite]

The "peace" of the grave - Islamic style.

[Redcloak]

Of course, when it fails to come to pass, the same "scholar" will blame a Zionist conspiracy to control the World's oceans.

[paleocon patriarch]

I've never seen that in the Bible, but Albert Pike predicted it.

And the Lord spoke to Noah and said: "In six months I'm going to make it rain until the whole earth is covered with water and all the evil people are destroyed. But, I want to save a few good people,and two of every kind of living thing on the earth. I am ordering you to build an Ark." And in a flash of lightning he delivered the specifications for an Ark.
"Ok", said Noah, trembling in fear and fumbling with the blueprints.

"Six months, and it starts to rain," thundered the Lord. "You'd better have my Ark completed, or learn to swim for a very long time."

Six months passed. The skies began to cloud up and rain began to fall. The Lord saw Noah was sitting in his front yard weeping, and there was no Ark.

"Noah," shouted the Lord, "Where is my Ark?" A lightning bolt crashed into the ground next to Noah.

"Lord, please forgive me!" begged Noah. "I did my best, but there were big problems!"

"First I had to get a building permit for the Ark construction project, and your plans did not meet code. So I had to hire an engineer to redraw the plans. Then I got into a big fight over whether or not the Ark needed a fire sprinkler system. My neighbors objected, claiming I was violating zoning by building the Ark in my front yard, so I had to get a variance from the city planning commission."

"Then I had a big problem getting enough wood for the Ark because there was a ban on cutting the trees, to save the Spotted Owl. I had to convince the U.S. Forest Service that I needed the wood to save the owls.

But, they wouldn't let me catch any owls. So no owls. Then the carpenters formed a union and went out on strike. I had to negotiate a settlement with the National Labor Relations Board before anyone would pick up a saw or hammer. Now we have sixteen carpenters going on the boat and still no owls."

"Then I started gathering the animals, and got sued by an animal rights group. They objected to me taking only two of each kind."

"Just when I got the suit dismissed, EPA notified me that I couldn't complete the Ark with out filing an environmental impact statement on your propsed flood. They didn't take kindly to the idea that they had no jurisdiction over the conduct of a Supreme Being."

"Then the Army Corps of Engineers wanted a map of the proposed new flood plain. I sent them a globe."

"Right now I'm still trying to resolve a complaint from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission over how many Croatians I'm supposed to hire. The IRS has seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to avoid paying taxes by leaving the country, and I just got a notice from the state about owing some kind of use tax."

"I really don't think I can finish your Ark for at least another five years, " Noah wailed.

The sky began to clear. The sun began to shine. A rainbow arched across the sky. Noah looked up and smiled. "You mean you're not going to to destroy the earth?" Noah asked hopefully.

"No" said the Lord sadly, "Government already has..."

Fr. Andrew Wingate believes the same thing or close to it. The year 2005 will be hard on America, according to this renowned Catholic Priest and visionary. He spoke of a tsunami hitting the East Coast sometime in the next three years, and other tragic consequences for the U.S. But, he did not see the forces of evil prevailing. He says his visions often come to him after prayer and he works with other Catholic visionaries. They do not go public with information unless they receive independent confirmation from several sources. Fr. Wingate also works with the U.S. military, informing them of critical information.

As for myself . . . Whatever will be, will be.

Isnt "Koran scholar" kind of oxymoronic?

The "Jumbo shrimp" of the university.

[WOSG]

Look on the bright side ... your midwest property may become ocean-front prime real estate! :-)

[mowkeka]

Sounds like wishful thinking.

[Czar]

OK -- but only if we can somehow make sure its full force and effect is directed solely at Washington DC.

Just think of all those drowned, water-logged politicians floating around the capitol...

[WOSG]

LOL - good joke.

[LibWhacker]

Wonder if he'd be willing to put his money where his mouth is?
