This is a video set of a teaching. Much of it is known on FR. Please watch. There are some interesting points on Islamic prophecy. Good explanation of hadith and shura.

“According to the tradition, Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the prophet’s cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the Ultimate Saviour, a “tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West.” Commanding “the strongest army on earth,” the new ruler in the West will carry “a clear sign” from the third imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali. The tradition concludes: “Shiites should have no doubt that he is with us.”
In a curious coincidence Obama’s first and second names—Barack Hussein—mean “the blessing of Hussein” in Arabic and Persian. His family name, Obama, written in the Persian alphabet, reads O Ba Ma, which means “he is with us,” the magic formula in Majlisi’s tradition.”

I don’t give islamic “prophecy” any credance.
At best, it’s nonsense. At worse, it’s information from demons.
Either way, nothing to which good people should be involved.
I probably should have used a different word. I didn’t mean to suggest it is prophecy, just that (especially Shi-is) Muslims do have their own set of things they think will happen.
I also think it is quite interesting that Louis Farrakhan has proclaimed Obama the Messiah (and since Louie is muslim, that means “Mahdi”)
And, as Sun Tzu said, know your enemy!
The enemy knows how his end will come. He will just try to take as many with him as he can.
It's also quite possible that the enemy has gone mad (sin has a way of doing that) and is in denial.
Did you watch Dr. Stone then and get this result?
If you don’t want to watch them, don’t.

I contend that we as a nation have been in active Holy War against Islam since 1979, if not 1973. For our support of Israel, we can go back to its inception.
The Quran contains NO records of foretelling prophecy being spoken, and diligently recorded - then fulfilled by the handiwork of their god "Al-ilah".
For comparisons' sake -- the Old Testament of the Holy Bible contains 300 foretelling prophecies looking forward to Christ's incarnation alone.
All of the prophecies of the Old Testament were locked in to the Canon no later than 150 B.C.
And 61 of these predictions were major identifying marks, factors, conditions, places, and responses-- in the life, ministry, passion, and Resurrection of Jesus-- as God's Only Son -- our Messiah -- the only Saviour.
Finally The Holy Bible (66 books) as a whole document (OT & NT) has more to say (prophetically) about the time frame of human history in which we are now living and witnessing firsthand -- than any other particular historical period (Including the time of Christ on Earth...)!
The unblemished record of fulfilled prophecy is the major delineation between the The Holy Bible, and the other literary volumes recorded and revered as "sacred scripture" by other soothsayers, shamans, cults, poets/proclaimers and even wandering arab "prophets". (Confucius, the Bhagavad Gita ... etc... etc... Throw Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce in for freebies)
It is also the main reason we should be studious, attentive, prayerful and careful -- as we navigate these last of the last days.
******************
ISAIAH 44:6-8
"This is what the Lord says— Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty:
I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.
Who then is like me? Let him proclaim it.
Let him declare and lay out before me what has happened since I established my ancient people,
And what is yet to come — yes, let him foretell what will come.
Do not tremble, do not be afraid.
Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago?
You are my witnesses.
Is there any God besides me?
No, there is no other Rock; I know not one.”

OK -- let's sing Amazing Grace....
Everyone have a great day!
Perry is a great stand up comic, but as a theologian? Well.....
