A sermon last Friday by a prominent Muslim cleric and Hamas member of the Palestinian parliament openly declared that "the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital," would soon be conquered by Islam.

The fiery sermon, delivered by Yunis al-Astal and aired on Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV, predicted that Rome would become "an advanced post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread though Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, even Eastern Europe."

"Allah has chosen you for Himself and for His religion," al-Astal preached, "so that you will serve as the engine pulling this nation to the phase of succession, security and consolidation of power, and even to conquests through da'wa and military conquests of the capitals of the entire world.

"Very soon, Allah willing, Rome will be conquered, just like Constantinople was, as was prophesized by our prophet Muhammad," he added.

Al-Astal last June preached how it was the duty of Palestinian women to martyr themselves by becoming homicide bombers.

10 years ago I would have laughed at something like this, but I am no longer so certain this prediction is incorrect.

“The most exalted form of jihad is fighting for the sake of Allah, which means sacrificing one's soul by fighting the enemies head-on, even if it leads to martyrdom,...”

“...sacrificing one's soul...”. What an extraordinary thing to say. I've always been a big proponent of just letting folks talk. Attentive listening always produces the information needed to make a decision. Like many others in prominent positions or aspiring to them, all that is needed is an open microphone. The rest just takes care of itself.

A brother KOC came back from Italy recently. He said the Islamic grafitti is evrywhere.

I am a Catholic, and many of Catholic prophecy's of old talk of this. I never saw how it could happen until the days we are living in.

Everybody conquers Rome. It’s expected. You aren’t taken seriously unless you do. Attila the Hun (aka Scourge of Choked) wanted to, but choked in the attempt. A year later he was dead.

There’s still some hard core Christians that would fight to the death.

See, these guys are civilized. They are following the women and children first rule. (I hope I don’t need to sarc tag this.)
