In that map, I would but the eastern half of Russian, in which Orthodox Christianity has undergone quite a revival in the past 15 years, into the Western region. Though they may not be there for long as pouty Putin reveals himself more and more to be a Krushchev wannabe.
It will be reunited under the antichrist and the false prophet.

Considering I'm the Anti-Christ, and I don't want anything to do with ruling the world for its own good, everyone can sleep in peace for another millennia.

Like others will likely say on this forum, it sure wouldn't surprise me if this caliph somehow has the number 666.
Bush sure has the right idea if one considers a map of the area. By attempting to democratize Afghanistan and Iraq, he has divided Saudi Arabia from Syria and Iran, and Pakistan from both. It may work out that this has been a very wise move.
Actually I've been noticing the opposite trend, the reduction of Islamic fervor (whatever the hell that is), as more muslim atrocities occur (when was the last GOOD news about Islam you ever heard?), more countries, cultures, and religions back away from Islam. Even muslims are starting to voice opposition to the tack islam has taken (about 5 years too late).
I think this whole story is 5 years too late, and the world's hatred and distrust of Islam is a seed sown wide and growing tall. The Islamic dominoes are falling, country after country they are being neutered and brought to heel, such that even Saudi Arabia is reigning in the Wahabists.
This so called religion can only be spread by the suppression of education, as the map posted by Lorianne shows. There are no highly educated muslim majority countries.
Islam is at its peak, and is starting its self destructive downward spiral. We need not worry about the Caliphate.
Bwahahahaha. Japan and Southeast Asia parterning with China? Bwahahahahahah! Ignorant reasoning like that makes it difficult to pay attention to, let alone believe, the rest of the article.
ROFLMAO!
Great line, mate!
bttt
Oh, dear, this is embarrassing. Mr. Pinkerton is clearly out of his depth in this one. The Chinese are no longer Confucianists, and no one but the Chinese ever were. And their "bloc" consists of China, and...well, and a large number of neighbors who are economic and ethnic rivals.
Now, as to the putative Return of the Caliph - it is as unlikely as the Return of King Arthur. The Caliph of myth was deposed by the Turks, but not by Kemal Ataturk in 1917, by the Seljuk Turks in AD 1040. It's been that long since one Arab was both secular and religious leader of Islam, and for nearly a millennium the Turks prevented it from ever happening again. An Arab Caliph in a sea of non-Arab Moslems simply isn't going to happen - it's a fond memory of a mostly fictional glory.
In fact, a truly great Arab leader will likely have been elected, IMHO, that courtesy of an infidel named Bush who kicked the whole rotten old structure over. He won't be a Caliph, he'll be something better, he'll be a man. Or...well, you know, the Arabs used to have queens before Mohammed came along. Maybe it'll be a woman.
We might need to continue the worry a little more. Many people I am talking to in the U.S. and the UK are confirming that citizens are converting to Islam. They are not happy with "organized religion", and are "touched" by the "peaceful"? Tolerant? side of Islam. When, they have the converts fully under control then they are shown the Jihad.....They find the potential conflicts of a country and turn one against the other. Poor against the rich...the black against the white or whatever works.
From a friend today to whom is also on the same track....

Hey Tom,
I couldn't believe it. I drove down the street and at the stop sign a shady looking Arab appeared in front of my headlights. He likely was walking back from the convenience store in the dark. The ghastly image of this bearded Arab instantly took me back to Sarajevo where I saw exactly the same look on the faces of fundamentalists. It's a guttural thing. Once you experience it, you never forget it. They are infiltrating us all over the place. Keep in mind, I'm the lower FL Keys, on a Island. Another Muslim, who came from Bangladesh and made a fortune selling magic Chinese crayons to kids bought a house on my street that he now rents on short term basis ($2500 a week). Whether it be in Europe or here, they know our laws and loopholes better than we do and DO take advantage of them. You're right! It's only a matter of time.
It was created under the false prophet -- Mo. I firmly believe that REvelations showed what happened in the 600s
There have always been a continuing (small) number of converts of disaffected people, and the difference is you hear more about them now because it is universally understood to be a sign of serious mental defect, danger, and membershif in the lunatic fringe.
In the past, nobody noticed. Nowdays society is watching.
Its one thing to grow up a Muslim. Most people do not choose their own religion. Its quite another to convert to islam. Converts are much more dangerous, and that is why society is watching so closely.
Yes......agreed.. The Imams have also targeted prisons to convert African Americans, to Islam. Also, there is a Number....unknown but mentioned, of Caucasion women converting....
In Oregon there was a terrorist organization located in a mosque. They are now all over the U.S. even in N.C....
Are we then to assume that Chirst has returned and we are now living in the millenial kingdom of Christ?
I think you would have a tough road to hoe to make a case for that.
There is a man in Fairbanks Ithat beleives that all that is written in the book of revelation is spiritual stuff that is going on inside of him and every beleiver. He does not belevie in an antichrist he says that all of that is made up. He kind of took me by surprise with his views.
I don't think the Roman catholic church beleives that either. I have read on several catholic websites about the prophecies of St. Malachi that prophesy of the rise of the Antichrist coming during the reign of the next pope. They speak of the sacrifice of the mass ceasing and I have read about the coming destruction the Vatican.
So lets here about the 600's
Many of the converts are psychotics and psychopathic killers converting because islam promotes the maiming and killing of human beings. Islam worships death. For example, many western psychopaths joined the KLA during the 90's because it offered them the opportunity to kill other human beings. In the eyes of the world community, killing the enemies of islam is no crime.
Latin America isn't part of the Christian Bloc. Russia leads the Orthodox Bloc in Eastern Europe.
